โHaving spent most of my life with Reita, he was always a presence that I took for granted. The days I spent with him are invaluable to me, and I believe that I am who I am today because we supported each other.โ

Iโve been subjected to many hurtful and emotional words. From the perspective of those who donโt know anything, they might think that doing these live shows is just for making money, or that it would have been better if we had disbanded already.
โRuki
We will continue to do many live shows to create a place that you can come to whenever you feel like it. So, when you come to see us again, I want to tell you to share the best scenery with the band. Thank you.
โRuki
Today, I could once again feel the presence of Reita standing on this stage with us. I believe that we can continue standing on this stage together. I am determined to keep pushing forward, so I hope everyone can continue to follow along with peace of mind.

They talked about how Reitaโs room is a typical boyโs room. When Kai had met Reita for the first time, he did not know Uruha or Aoi either. He only knew Ruki at that time. But after speaking to Reita, Kai said it did not feel like they were meeting for the first time.
Iโm aware that there are hurtful words and actions out there. I also know that everyone is raising their voices against them. In a world where you can express what you want to say freely-
โAoi

Reita remains an irreplaceable presence, and as part of the same rhythm section, I could feel him by my side throughout today's live performance. As long as we continue to stand on stage like this, I am confident that we will continue to feel his presence.
--Kai
Ruki also mentioned about the BASS DRIVER DI and that Reita really wanted to release it which is why they went ahead with it DESPITE ALL THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS THEY WERE RECEIVING.
I wasn't able to catch that part of the MC.
Uruha and Kai also held it together. I think at one point while Aoi was speaking, Ruki turned around? Not sure if he was tearing up. but my god, as expected, Ruki's MC was the longest and he really maintained his composure. they were all so unbelievably strong.
They might say they canโt accept this form and that theyโre disappointed in us.
โRuki.
This is heartbreaking. They should have NEVER heard those words from anyone let alone fans. These are not fans
Instead of getting pictures of Reita celebrating his birthday, weโre gonna get updates from his memorial service this year.
โWe are all mere pawns in the grand chessboard of twisted fateโ
Okay Ruki said something like Reita would play hip hop music in his car. He said back then Reita used listened to hip hop music and often wear tracksuits which left a long lasting impression on him.
no matter what kind of live show we do, thereโs no sense of closure. Like I said earlier, we have decided to continue with the gadget that he wanted. So today is not a farewell gathering or anything like that.

Happy birthday Reita๐ this is your first birthday up there. I hope you are celebrating well up there. I love you so much. We all do. I know that you know since youโre watching over us.
On April 17th, we wanted to convey our feelings to everyone as soon as possible, so we had many discussions among the members and released our comments. Seeing the words from fans in various places in response to that really saved our hearts. Thank you so much
--Kai
โGood morning. Um, yeah. First of all, to everyone gathered here today, and then to everyone watching the live stream, um, I want to sincerely thank you for coming together for GazettE today.โ
-Aoi
"Well, not everyone can immediately move forward like that and I understand that." So, there's no need to rush. Please prioritize your own feelings and thoughts."
--Kai
"Just remember that with so many comrades here, including us, everyone watching and listening to this broadcast now and everyone supporting us, has a place to come back to. That's all"
--Kai
- I do have moments where I worry about everyone, but I want you to know that you donโt have to face it alone. Please reach out to me, the other members, or the official channels if you need to. We will definitely address it appropriately.

Uruha said YamaArashi was one of Reita's fav bands. YamaArashi. YamaArashi is a six-member Japanese rock group based in Kanagawa Prefecture.Uruha came to know about the band through Rei
-Radiojack 168
Ruki took the first step towards healing. Finally. He made the effort of doing something he loved as a teenager. Iโm so proud of him. I really am. I love him so much
"Thank you very much for today. I believe that everyone came here today with various thoughts for Reita. I also want to express my gratitude to everyone watching the broadcast"
--Kai
Look, if any of yall think this is way too soon to do a memorial, yall can take the exit and find other groups to follow. These guys have been through enough. If yall believe its "capitalism at its finest" sure go head, but do us fans and the band a favor and LEAVE.
Canโt help but miss Reita even more. His tweets showing excitement for the live, practice sessions, pics of his kicks or his bassโฆ Iโd take any crumbs i can get.
Today we celebrate the beautiful soul you were and the profound impact you continue to have on our lives. Though you may no longer be with us in person, your presence is deeply felt in our hearts, especially today, your birthday. You rock๐ค๐ธ

Btw Ruki said something about September 12th? I think there will be a concert on September 12th at Toyosu PIT. He said โI want to see everyoneโs smiling faces again at that time.โ
I think i needed to hear what Ruki said
โIf you're feeling overwhelmed right now, I think it's okay to not think about anything and to refuse everything for a while.
It's okay to stop pushing yourself.โ
Only God knows how much I have been reluctant to accepting heโs gone -
