dont fuck with us

Is this man kidding me?
does he think it's funny or what?

Ruki—The 4 of us haven’t changed, you know.
...
Ruki—We haven’t changed, but we feel sort of tired (laughs). Even if the members get together, we don’t make as much noise as we used to in the past (laughs).
...
Ruki—No, I’m not noisy, but I feel we no longer fool around as much as we used to do in the past.

Aoi—Ah, that explosiveness has gone, right? (laughs)

Ruki—Even the memory has gone (laughs).
...
Ruki-If we start talking about band stuff the build-up just slows down (laughs). For example, if we get talking about soccer or games, we go “Oh~yeah!”, but if it gets to “What about the songs?”, we’re all, “Hm~”.

what the fuck.

Reita-In the past, Kai was the one who used to give us the laughs, you know. Sending weird picture-mails, and stuff (laughs). But these days, not that much.

Kai—I almost wonder whether or not it happened even once in the entire year, me making everybody laugh.

Ruki—You probably did try to make us laugh, but ended up irritating us instead (laughs).

Why are they still laughing? there's nothing funny about this conversation.

Let's see what dear Aoi thinks about his friendship with the other gazemembers:

Aoi—Well, we don’t talk about the finer details, you know. Just to the extent of answering if asked.

Good to hear.

--------For example, if there’s someone in really low spirits, or is clearly not feeling well, what sort of a band is the GazettE in response to such a situation?

Ruki—Hm. We just get left behind, isn’t it? (laughs)

The next thing really freaks me out. They repeat everything the fans say about Kai and still laugh liek it was a joke.

Starting with Kai?

Reita—(Kai is) tired, isn’t it?

--------Is that grief floating about?

Ruki—It’s not grief, you know. It’s despair (laughs). Like falling down to the depths.

Kai—Well, I, sort of, don’t talk much these days, do I?

Ruki—Not being there even for the recording, etc.

Uruha—He’s not well.

Kai—No, I’m fine.

Uruha—And, his lips are gradually turning purple (laughs).

Aoi—Even though he says he isn’t unwell.

Reita—His eyes look dead (laughs).

Yes damnit, he looks dead.

Next, they talk about Reita for a while. In a very derogatory way, if you ask me.
Then they state they cant talk about Ruki's changes coz he either hasnt changed or his changes are too private.
But then comes this:

Uruha—Talking of things that have changed, he’s no longer as amiable as he used to be, you know.

Next is Aoi:

Reita—He stopped giving us cigarettes on birthdays (laughs).

Uruha—He stopped sending mails on birthdays (laughs).
...
Aoi—I guess I just got tired.



I'll stop here. The interview still continues for a while, but I guess I made my point.

Yeah...Nothing new, nothing we didnt expect or already know. Uruha was the only one being at least a bit of the Uruha I used to know.

And I feel wonderful right now....what I read would have hurt me as hell three months ago, but not now. Frankly, I dont give a fuck on this. And it feels wonderful.
