RR Interview Report Part I (RUKI / the GazettE)

So sorry for the long absence, everyone!

Personal life has been REALLY busy, but I accomplished my major goal for this summer!

I have been itching to climb Mt. Fuji since last year, when two of my friends went, and this year, I accomplished that goal and reached the summit!

Granted, I also defaced the newly appointed World Heritage Site by throwing up on it twice, but if that isn't rebellious enough, what is?

Personal gloating aside though, here's a quick translation from the Rock and Read blog about RR049 featuring Ruki as his most alluring pissed off bunny best--enjoy!

RR Interview Report Part I (RUKI / the GazettE)

Everyone!
Today at noon, the 「ROCK AND READ 049」cover was unveiled. How is it?
It's pretty provocative, isn't it?

With that said, starting from today, we'll also be starting the interviews for the next issue.

First, of course, will be the GazettE's RUKI, who is featured on the front cover!

It's been a while since their previous one, but the GazettE will release a new single 「FADELESS」on August 21st, and in October, a new album 『BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY』.

With that said, this shoot's theme focuses on a 「BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY」.

RUKI was really busy, so the meeting about the shoot was done 3 nights before the shoot.

RUKI developed the base ideas in collaboration with the stylist, makeup artist, and camera man, and the meeting went late into the night as they talked about things like, "If that's the case, let's do this," "Between these, this one's better," and so on.

Even though there was so little time as it was to prep for the shoot, nobody wanted to compromise.
Everyone got really pumped up, and there was an excited discussion of, "Instead of that, this is definitely more interesting!"
As expected of the GazettE, it was a meeting that showed that when it comes to making an amazing product, the sophistication of the GazettE's creative team is almost frightening.

Well, the keywords that emerged from that meeting: Bondage, Lowrider, and Punk.

The cover photo features bondage, with a fetishistic Ruki.



I think you can see it if you look closely, but in this photo, beneath the jacket is bare skin. And the corset and lapel were also worn directly over bare skin.
So fetishistic!!

And, here's 1 photo taken from today's shoot and specially uploaded just for you!



Fufufu, the car that RUKI is riding is a pretty intense lowrider, and it's really really badass.
And why is the Ruki in bondage there?
Naturally, he's coolly presenting his deformed view of the world.

This is all I can show you this time around, but the real thing is wayyy more amazing.
You definitely have to check this outtttt!

A-a-and!

And to the people who realized,
Where is the last keyword--punk?
You're really observant!

Actually, that particular photo is even more crazy!
Eh? Who's that foreigner? Isn't that Nancy Spungen?
It was a really provocative picture with that sort of a look.
There are a definitely a lot of cosplayers like this, right?

And, with the interview, we asked about things about 「FADELESS」and things about 『BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY』
things about the first overseas tour after 6 years, things about the visual scene, and also things about idols...

Also in the interview is the theme that encompassed the recording, the decisions they made, the unity within the band--the fans might unintentionally tear up!

Anyways, anyways, this time's ROCK AND READ's content will be the most exhilarating ever!

You gotta seriously look forward to it!

To be honest, I've been running all over the place lately that I wasn't even thinking of translating anything for another few weeks.
But, after I saw this RR cover--how could I not be curious about what was going on in the VK world?!

What do you guys think of this image? I thought Ruki, who normally tried so hard to steer away from being "cute" or "soft" in any regard managed to completely turn a traditionally "cute" bunny on its head. Tell us your thoughts and comments in the comments below!

And, as usual, follow MICHIDO with a like on Facebook, a follow on Twitter and a subscription Tumblr!

Frolicking in the Sun | One Ok Rock Blog Post

As I mentioned on Twitter, I've been on One Ok Rock kick lately.

Plus, MICHIDO's birthday came and went before I even realized it, so I figured I really should post something as an appeasement for such a long period of neglect (sweat).

So combine the two together, and you get a blog post from One Ok Rock's drummer, Tomoya. Enjoy!

Miyakojima

Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh I just really hate being tanned to the point that people say I look like a gal guy. This is Tomoya.

Everyone, it's been a while.

Even though the tour ended, we jumped right into the festival season.

I went to Miyakojima! It was especially hot... If I went in July, it'd be too hot, so I went in June...but this heat in July is pretty bad too! lol

And I was also moved by how the ocean was so incredibly beautiful. It's the same Japan, but I was really shocked--was the difference really that big? But I managed to have a ton of fun right before summer began.





The live also felt amazing!

Just like I expected, I really like that atmosphere that's unique to festivals! Thank you.

Wellz, that's it for now.

Tomoya

What I would GIVE to be on that beach right now. I could use a nice relaxing vacation myself, but I'm not sure if I'd want to be buried in the sand like that. Or I could just help pile sand on Tomoya, haha.

What plans do you have for the summer? Or better yet, tell us what kind of vacation you'd want with your favorite Jrocker! :)

Meanwhile, thanks for always reading and supporting us you all! It's been THREE WHOLE YEARS since MICHIDO started, and it only got this far with your continued readership. Thank you, thank you and thank you ♥

And, if you haven't already, do give us on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr! Hopefully this will kick my ass into gear, and you guys will see more content in the future! (^^ゞ

the GazettE 11th Anniversary | DIVISION Final MELT at Saitama Super Arena

Saitama Super Arena was packed hours before the doors opened for the GazettE's 11th Anniversary/DIVISION tour final.

The live served as a finale for the country-wide DIVISION tour, which began in 2012 and was finally concluding on March 10, 2013--also the GazettE's anniversary.

Some fans had clearly been there all day, waiting in anticipation for a tour that had spanned over the course of a year.
The concert was divided into 3 major sections.

There was the main concert, the first encore and then the final encore.

The main concert was similar, if not exactly the same, as the rest of the DIVISION tour with little to no change to the visuals and setlist.

The first portion of the setlist included:

[Diplosomia]
[XI]
DERANGEMENT
GABRIEL ON THE GALLOWS
VENOMOUS SPIDER'S WEB
VORTEX
CLEVER MONKEY
THE SUICIDE CIRCUS
DRIPPING INSANITY
余韻
影踏み
籠の蛹
[Depth]
歪
ヘドロ
VERMIN
SLUDGY CULT
HEADACHE MAN
ATTITUDE
REQUIRED MALFUNCTION
[Melt]

For those who had a chance to attend previous DIVISION lives though, the familiarity ended with a bang--literally.

After the band exited the stage, the audience began to buzz.

A clear sharp explosion sliced through the chatter and a startled silence fell over the arena.

The stage, which had darkened when the band disappeared, suddenly blazed to life in fire pots that appeared where Kai's drumset had been. The audience screamed in excitement as sparks burst over the stage and several more fire crackers exploded with loud bangs.

The pyrotechnics, dazzling as they were, proved tricky to control as a rogue firecracker brought two light fixtures swinging down from the ceiling. Both of them literally hung by a thread and swung precariously over the stage, just above the amplifiers and elaborate equipment set up.

Despite the potential danger, the accident only served to rile up the audience even further as staff members rushed to bring the fixtures down safely.

Not long after, Reita and Kai emerged to open the first encore, which included the following songs:

Ride with the ROCKERS
赤いワンピース
Psychedelic Heroin
Filth in the Beauty
COCKROACH
LINDA～candy dive pinky heaven～

During the encores, the mobile band members dashed out into the side wings. While taking care of the right audience, Reita simply sat with one leg over the rail of the right stage, playing leisurely.

Ruki, at one point, seemed to disappear backstage but, surprisingly, continued to sing as the band played on. He soon emerged out from the left wing of the stage, walking directly in the audience walkway and--unsurprisingly--was nearly mobbed as fans rushed from the upper levels to get a chance to touch him.

Surrounded by a barrier of staff members, Ruki continued to sing to and from the stage.

Fans on the right wing of the stage waited in anticipation for their turn but Ruki first took a water bottle from in front of the drums and tossed the cap as he took the bottle with him to the right wing. Ruki, with no change in expression, pantomimed an ejaculation into the audience with his water bottle before turning and emerging into the audience walkway to walk into the audience.

Meanwhile, Aoi, Uruha, Reita and Kai were occupying the main stage. Aoi and Uruha both hopped onto Ruki's stand and played together in what seemed like a conversation between guitars and Reita did his customary swings with his bass.

Throughout all this, Kai never skipped a beat, even when exchanging drum sticks by hurling them into the back of the stage and having another two in his hand the next instant.

Ruki used the MC to ask the audience to raise their voices. He called for the back to reply and, while they replied enthusiastically, Ruki apparently found it unsatisfactory.

"I'm wondering if it's a bit quiet because you all have pollen allergies," Ruki said with a grin.

The first encore ended and the audience was quickly back on its feet, calling for a second encore.

It wasn't long before the band emerged again for the second, and final, encore, delighting fans with silver streamers that burst from the stage and two very nostalgic songs:

関東土下座組合
BEST FRIENDS

Fans screamed in delight as the songs pulsated through the entire arena.

After Best Friends, the band put down their instruments and, surprisingly, Reita and Aoi stayed on stage. All five members gathered and stood at the center of the stage as Aoi playfully tussled with Reita, punching and kicking him before the bassist pulled away and stood beside Ruki on stage.

"Since it's our anniversary, we should all say one thing we really remember," Ruki said. He eyed his band members, as if deciding who would be the first to suffer through an MC, before thrusting the microphone at Uruha, "Here."

Uruha, Kai and Reita all thanked the audience for their support and their desire to move forward with the fans' continued support.

Aoi's MC opened with Reita giving him a vengeful kick to the backside, leaving Aoi holding his "injury." Aoi gave a relatively long and rambling MC and, as the audience moved to clap and cheer after a comment, Aoi shook his head, "Wait," he commanded. "Wait, wait a sec, okay?" The audience laughed anyways but fell silent to let him finish.

"Well, it's time," Ruki paused and glanced down at his bracelet like it was a watch before looking out at the audience again. The audience tittered and he smiled sheepishly, "It's time for us to go....to the sky."

The end of the sentence earned a brief silence and another collective laugh from the audience. Ruki continued for a little longer before getting to the purpose of his joke.

"Shall we take you with us?" Ruki asked. "To the sky?" The audience responded enthusiastically with cheers. "Everybody, grab the hand of someone around you," Ruki instructed. On stage, Reita grabbed Ruki's free hand with Aoi on the other side. Kai also moved to take Ruki's hand but paused with his infamously awkward smile as he realized Ruki had a microphone in the other hand. He took a firm hold of Ruki's upper sleeve instead while holding Uruha's hand.

"Let's go together. To the sky. Are you ready? We're gonna go. We're gonna go. We're really gonna go--all the way into space, okay. Ready? We're really going."

Ruki decided that the audience perhaps had enough of his teasing and began the countdown,

"Ready--set--GO!"

The band and audience leaped together and, in one tense simultaneous moment, everybody let out a cheer as they followed the band for the brief moment up towards the sky--before landing as one back in the Arena.

The band left the stage after a final goodbye and thank you, leaving the audience to file out of the arena.

As the audience left the arena, fans got to see all the support the GazettE had--not only from fellow fans but also from industry friends. Flowers lined the exit of the arena from various celebrities, congratulating the band on their anniversary.


Congratulations on 11 years GazettE!

Happy holidays, everyone!

I've promised over and over and over again that I would post Kai's portion of this radio transcript and I finally have! YAY!!!

Anyways, like most of the G-men X Specials (see Aoi, Uruha, Reita and Ruki), Kai gets his embarrassing traits spilled by his oh-so-loving band mates.

We've also got a ton of new stuff on our SALE page, so be sure to check it out! :)

Without further ado...we present GazettE's super bullied incredibly loved leader and drummer, Kai!

-Bell Chime-

DJ TAKUYA: Last is~the drummer and leader, Mr. Kai!
I think everyone's been eager to get to this particular questionnaire. As expected of this level-headed leader, right, a reliable person☆ He won't be late☆ And he gets to meetings early and stuff

the GazettE: Yeah!

Reita: You can write it, and you can say it to the man himself.

DJ TAKUYA: Ah! Is tha~t what it is?

Ruki: It isn't that he's level-headed so much as he's calculating!

DJ Takuya: A calculating person?

The GazettE: Fufufu (laugh)

DJ Takuya: And! Things you want him to fix!! Everyone wrote, “forgotten items”...

the GazettE: Ahhhh

Ruki: I think anyone would say the same thing about this~forgotten items huh~He'll eventually forget his own name too

the GazettE: HAHAHAHA, that's so mean

Ruki: That's mean!

Reita: That's really mean, y'know!!

※Mail
Please tell us about a recent interesting episode about Kai

Uruha: Ahhhh!! Ah! Um...he's already lent Reita the Crows ZERO② DVD~today's me! He brought it for me, right?

Reita: I brought it, I brought it.

Uruha: Didn't Kai lend it to you?

Reita: Yeah!!

Uruha: He forgot it at the office (laugh)

Everyone: Eehhh~??

GazettE: ahahahaha

Reita: You're kidding right (shocked)

DJ TAKUYA: That's not good, right~

Reita: You're joking, right!!

DJ TAKUYA: Leader (laugh)

Uruha: Eh, well, if I say, "I might let it spill," I'll spill it to Rei-chan after

Reita: I'm not listening

DJ TAKUYA: Ah, didn't he also forget that?

Reita: That guy--!! He--seriously--it's really bad.

Ruki: Earlier, Rei-chan was like, "Who was it again"

Reita: Oi, oi oi oi (laugh)

GazettE: HAHAHA

Reita: Waitt!! Seriously, I didn't know who owned the DVD

DJ TAKUYA: That's Mr. Careless, eh~

Reita: No!! It doesn't stop at careless!! This guy--it's almost criminal!!

GazettE: Ahahahahaha

Ruki: Seriously, it's like he uses all his energy to forget things.

DJ TAKUYA: He seems to be firm, careless, shrewd and calculating?

GazettE: Yeah

DJ TAKUYA: Man!! (laugh)

GazettE: Ahahaha

DJ TAKUYA: Next, this is from Aoi, he's gotten too into muscle training?

Aoi: Ahh, recently, y'know, like, it seems to be something he took up recently...but I don't think so (laugh)

DJ TAKUYA: Really? It's different? He seems to want to fix how thin he is...

Aoi: He's really disciplined, y'know. That's one of the things that appeals to us.

Reita: Because that means he'll do handstands as we watch.

DJ TAKUYA: Wow, in other words, it's not for the public to see.

Aoi: Right, right, right!

Ruki: It's like he'll suddenly go, "I'm gonna put on these sunglasses."

GazettE: Hahaha!

DJ TAKUYA: Ah, so like, you'd want something to help you prepare.

Aoi: Yeaahhh.

Reita: Y'know, he goes to a gym, and before this, he couldn't remember what gym he's been going to.

GazettE: Ahahahaha!

DJ TAKUYA: That! No way, right! As expected, Reita (laugh). Seems like he couldn't remember where his membership was with.

GazettE: Wahahaha!

DJ TAKUYA: Seems like the thing Uruha wants him to fix the most is his lack of interested in stringed instruments.

Uruha: Ah, uhm, he isn't interested in anything but drums. It's good to concentrate on one thing, but...it's like there's nothing but the drums...

Reita: A little bit too much of the, "there's nothing but the drums."

DJ TAKUYA: That, well, it's cool, right...

Reita: Didn't he just forget?

Uruha: Ahhhhhhh

DJ TAKUYA: Ehh??

Uruha: And the band?

Reita: The band too?

DJ TAKUYA: Forgetting an instrument called the guitar exists...it seems (laugh), that can't be, right?

Uruha: If that's really the case, he's beyond help.

DJ TAKUYA: This conversation completely went back towards his forgetfulness.

Ruki: Nfufu

DJ TAKUYA: From Ruki, "He's a good guy~"

Ruki: During the lives, he says some pretty good stuff~ but at the very end, he'll definitely add some swear word, that guy. And the way he says it makes it seem like he's trying to pick a fight.

DJ TAKUYA: Ah, it's a let down right. "It'd be good if he stayed nice until the very end" like that, right?

Ruki: "Cause I'm covering these asses!!" he says things like that

Uruah: Asses (laugh)

Ruki: At lives

Aoi: In this age, right! Ehh. Because he's covering his own ass (laugh).

Ruki: It's like, "Dude, what manga were you reading just now," right (laugh)

DJ TAKUYA: Ahaha, it seems interesting, so he ends up using the phrase a lot.

Ruki: Nfufu

DJ TAKUYA: From Aoi~ Kai is the "confirmation gramps." (laugh)

RukI: Ahh~ AAhhhh~

Aoi: Seriously! Before the live, always, at the venue...he always gets so annoying. Ah, but it's a good thing. Um, like, "We're gonna stop it here," and he does it every time, but it's pretty much the same exact thing every time.

Ruki: Yeah!

Uruha: Yeah! It's because he doesn't ask anyone else before he does things. Like he's just addicted to doing things.

Aoi: You said it! You said it!

Reita: You...(laugh)

DJ TAKUYA: So, he just doesn't ask anyone?

Ruki: The staff also have to do everything again for him. And then they have to come again! How many times have the staff had to come over, right?

Uruh: It's like, "Ahh!! Seriously?"

Ruki: Yeah! "Again? For the same thing?"

GazettE: Ahahahaha

DJ TAKUYA: Well, well, well

Ruki: It's like a really bad joke!

Aoi: Thisssss (laugh)

DJ TAKUYA: Wait, wait, wait, that's...one second...

Ruki:...is how it reached us from the staff☆

Reita: Seriously!! He's always just rushing things!! (laugh)

DJ TAKUYA: Next~ Is it ok to say it? Reita--ahh! But, Reita wrote something good, so it should be fine, right?

Reita: Eh?...what was that!

DJ TAKUYA: He wrote two syllables~ Baka☆

Ruki: Butter?

Reita: No! (laugh) It's gonna infect someone!!

GazettE: Ahahahaha!

Reita: No, but, y'know! He can't recognize kanji, he cuts people off when they're talking.

*Bell Chime*


DJ TAKUYA: Ah, it's the chime telling us our time's up


Aoi: Ehhhh!?

Reita: But I wanna keep talking~

Uruha: Even though I could keep going~


DJ TAKUYA: Kai, welcome back

Kai: Thanks...

DJ TAKUYA: Somehow, it got really heated, didn't it! We'll come back after everyone strips off one article of clothing. (laugh)

※Mail
"Who in the GazettE is bullied the most?"

Kai: Probably! Probably...Reita, right?

DJ TAKUYA: Ah, it's Reita?

Kai: He's bullied quite a bit, right

Reita: How?!

Kai: No way, it's definitely quite a bit (laugh)

Aoi: No, no, Kai-san! Kai-san! (laugh)

GazettE: AHAHAHAHA!

Kai: No! Earlier, wasn't everyone saying how much they loved me....so even this guy has to get it...

Reita: No way, it isn't bullying, all I get is love☆ You're the one getting bullied, aren't you?

GazettE: Wahahahaha!!

Kai: That's mean!

『Mail intro & Conclusion』

Kai is shrewd? I've also heard that he's mean?

GazettE: Wahahahaha

Aoi: Hey hey hey~

Aoi: Hey hey, that...to say our leader's mean...

DJ TAKUYA: He admitted it!! (laugh)

Aoi: You--can you say those things!?

Uruha: Oi oi oi oi

Kai: For people, if you aren't a little mean....

DJ TAKUYA: Ahh, well, that's true, eh (laugh)

Aoi: Kai-san! Kai-sannnnnnn! (laugh)

DJ TAKIYA: But that's also important, right

Ruki: Reita's kinda--

DJ TAKUYA: Reita, what's up?

Reita: In the end, we still can't cover our asses☆

GazettE: Wahahahahah!

※Mail

I thought Ruki was really taciturn, so I was surprised to hear he talks a lot.

Ruki: Ah, well, sorry...'scuse my, what was it..."taciturn".

GazettE: Ehhh?! (laugh)

DJ TAKUYA: No, it's pretty unexpected, you can't see it in his face at all, since you're so happy, right!

Ruki: Nnnn, since I talk a lot♪

GazettE: Ahahaha

※Mail
Ruki likes to talk, huh☆ It's very cute, but let's fix that habit of oversleeping.

DJ TAKUYA:...is what she said, ufufu (laugh)

Aoi: But, one thing I don't get...talking too much is cute?

Ruki: How is that...right?

Reita: Well then, I'm gonna talk too. I'm gonna talk too.

GazettE: Ahahaha

Aoi: Well, me too, me too!!

Uruha: And me too, me too!!

Kai: Well--well~ Me too! Me too!!

Reita, Aoi, Uruha: Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead~

*simultaneous breaking out in laughter*

DJ TAKUYA: As expected, Kai, you're in Ueshima's position (laugh) Just now--you got there naturally? As expected of the leader! (laugh)

Reita: (laugh) This is the only way he'd be popular.

DJ TAKUYA: Well, it's eventually gotten to the time for us to say our goodbyes~

Aoi: Ah? Really?

(Announcements about BID, lives, the DVD)

DJ TAKUYA: Thank you for giving us so much of your time today.

Utahiroba Jun: Even if this is a VK fanboy's blog, you can't call it that.

Fangirls are a dime a dozen for the VK industry, but what fan boys are a tiny bit harder to come by.

Celebrity fanboys seem to be things of legend.

So, now, we bring you another Kishidan Banpaku-related story.

Golden Bomber's Utahiroba Jun fanboys about meeting the GazettE's Reita backstage on his Ameblo blog.

Translation was requested by Denise Mello on Facebook :)

---

It was sudden, but the other day at Kishidan Banpaku, I was given the chance to speak to the GazettE's Reita-san.



I've already known about the GazettE, onesidedly, for about 10 years now, and by chance, I saw them at an unimaginably tiny live house. After that I spent most of my school years with the GazettE's music, so I was really excited to perform together, and I was doki doki the entire time.



I really respect everyone in the GazettE, but I especially like the bassist, Reita, so this time, after the live, when we went to greet them, I was breathing so hard that I was at the point of hyperventilating and I was sweating so bad that I just barely managed to get through greeting them.

「I really like you!」

when I said that, the Reita himself turned his head and, with a goods towel

「Here, I'll give this to you」

is what he said and gave it to me.



And, I'd already lost my head, and because of that, after the performance, when we got to greet them again, I was thinking, "Maybe this really isn't so good," when I got permission from their manager to ask Reita for an autograph.



And then, he happily agreed and, on top of that, without me saying anything, he added a message.



And, I said to Reita, 「I'm really happy we could meet, you guys really worked it,」 and I got a handshake, but, seriously, like an idiot, I couldn't get anything but "thank you" to come out, at any rate, I still haven't calmed down yet, so even now, I'm staring at the room's wall and grinning.









[Note: Reita's message says, "For the wife...♥"]








I'm sorry I'm all over the place.



Thank you, Reita.
