the GazettEOfficial sitecomments from members to fans and to REITA, who passed away on April 15th, were published.

The comments posted on the official website are as follows.

　
〈RUKI〉

At the end, he said, “I want the GazettE to be forever.”
What does he mean by eternity?

I’m sure from the stage in 2023
The best scenery that Reita herself has seen
I think I hope it will continue forever.

The view with fans
A face that makes my fans happy
That view where everyone could speak out loud

That is an irreplaceable treasure

I think I was wishing that moment would last forever.

I remember him saying he wanted to do a live show soon.

Even now that I’m an adult
“Even when I don’t like something, I have the most fun when I can get together with the band members and laugh.”
He was a kind and passionate man who could speak honestly.

I loved that honesty.

This year is no different, and every year we joke about telling each other to take care of our health every birthday.

The band will never be just four people.
No matter what anyone says.

You’re my only bassist.

I believe that my soul is always next to me.

Everyone should feel it, even if they can’t see it.

The proof of Reita’s life that has been accumulated at the GazettE will never disappear and will always live on.

I believed that with all my soul
I will continue to sing next to you so that you can be on my right side.

I will never become the GazettE that Reita hates.

I don’t want you to feel sad.

In this way, I believe that all human beings live within a finite limit, but their souls will never disappear.

Reita’s soul is also the members and me
And the fans too.

I want to continue to perform live performances that will make all of the people who have loved me want to come and see me on stage forever, even if they become souls.

That’s why we need each and every fan.
He can create the scenery he wished would last forever.

That’s why it will remain the same from now on
I want you to stay by my side and stay there.

I’d rather that guy look at me and look sad
He was the best! I hope you remember this with a smile.

We are more determined than ever
I’ll protect this band.

I will make Reita’s wish for eternity come true.

So, don’t worry, Reita, and come to our live performances from heaven every time.

Your seat will always remain the same.

I’m going to be very busy from now on.

I’ll contact you again when the schedule is decided.

〈Rei〉

To all the fans who have supported REITA thus far.

I think he was a tremendous support to everyone, and to me as well.
I myself have not been able to accept and realize the fact that he is no longer with me and that we cannot stand on stage together.
There may be many things that we will gradually understand from now on.
I strongly feel that if I continue to wallow in sadness, I won’t be able to fulfill his wish for eternity, so now is the time when I need the strength to look forward and move forward.
I think the path he has walked together with everyone has been irreplaceable to him, and I think it will continue to live in his heart for everyone and for himself.
He has given me so much, and we have been together for so long, and we will always be my best friend.
Please cherish the many words, memories, and love he left behind for everyone in your heart.
REITA will continue to exist and live in everyone’s hearts.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported and supported the GazettE REITA.

For a long time now, the members and a small number of staff members have been working on various tasks, saying, “It’s neither that nor that,” but writing this sentence was the one thing I didn’t want to do.
There have been moments when I felt like giving up on my dreams.
Each time, I talk to them over and over again, and sometimes I push them and pull on their arms so that they don’t give up and give up.
Because we were a band like that, the GazettE was able to move forward without stopping.
REITA, you are not a person who wishes for eternity, but a person who connects eternity.
I can’t say such a clever line to you like, “I’ll shoulder your burden.”
I wanted to play more music with you, and see more scenery together.
No matter what the scenery is, it’s amazing to see these five people surrounded by fans.
I don’t know why, but there are so many things I want to say, but it’s so painful that they don’t come true.
Anyway, when I go over there, I’m going to start with a huge sermon. You’ll be sad that we’re suddenly gone, but until then, please take a good rest.
I have a little more to do here.

Thank you for walking this long road together. Please rest in peace.

〈Precept〉

For me, REITA is an immeasurably huge presence, I was saved by his many words and sounds, he was the mood maker for the band, and the only memories I have of him are really happy ones, and most of all, the sight of him shining on stage.

He is the best partner and the only one in the rhythm section.
That has never changed and will never change.

I would like to carry his thoughts on my shoulders and continue working on the GazettE with even greater resolve.

Lastly, I would like to thank all the fans and everyone involved who have supported me for 22 years.
thank you very much.

And from now on, we would like to continue running as a group of five members, so we ask for your continued support.

　
REITA
Thank you for your hard work.
I will continue to protect the GazettE with my many friends with the same feelings…I promise.

　
There are many friends waiting for you who don’t want to waste your 22 years.
You should definitely show your face at the live show!

Let’s have some good sake again.
