Gazette A - Z(taken from +Gazette Syndrome ++" Every fan counts")

A is for...
Aoi ~ The oldest member of the band. Although he doesn't have as many solo's as Uruha does he's just as talented and just as lovable. Mainly recognised by his kawaii little lip piercing ^ ^

April Fools Day ~ Poor little Kai got tricked on Aril fools day and didn't really understand what had happened until 5 days later

B is for...
Batteries ~ What Kai always buys at convenience stores (I wonder what he uses them for...)

Bikkle ~ A drink that Uruha sometimes treats Reita too after Reita has done something nice for Uruha (e.g when he helped him to transport an amp from his room)

Bis ~ Another band on ps-company and very good friends with Gazette

Bonkura ~ People used to call Reita 'Bonkura' when he was little...it means blockheaded XD

Coke ~ What Uruha craves after a live

Cooking ~ Kai-chan's favourite past time. He loves to cook with cabbage and various recipes can be found on his section of the site. And he wears the cutest little apron *squeals* So take a look and maybe even try out some of his recipes here. Rei-chan says that he doesn't like Kai's cooking...but admits he can't cook ^ ^

Clone ~ If Uruha won the lottery then he'd make a clone of himself...and call it Uruha 2!!

D is for...
Dir en grey ~ OMG KAI LIKES DIRU!! Sorry...so, yeah, Kai likes Dir en grey (Woooh!! Go Kai!!)

Disorder ~ Gazette's first, full length album filled with great songs by our guys including 'Maximum Impulse', 'Carry?' and 'Anti pop'

Dreams ~ Our guys really have had some weird dreams...Ruki's nearly been killed by a cat (aww), Uruha's been shot (uber aww), Aoi saw laughing corpses (...ok), Reita was the vocalist of Gazette (cute) and...Kai's mother was Reita XD

Drinking ~ Drinking...all of Gazette do it...whether it's Asahi Super Dry, Smirnoff or apple juice ^ ^

France ~ The place that Kai most wants to go on his own (aww, he should...I go to France loads)

H is for...
Homesickness ~ Sometimes, when on tours or away from home, poor little Uruha-chan suffers from homesickness

Hospital ~ In an interview Kai once talked about the time he was hospitalized. He said that it was a very emotional time, and that he received 1000 cranes...I don't know exactly what happened to him or when he was in there but I do know that the first live he did after that was on July 22

I is for...
Indies bands ~ Well, it's caught me out because even though they're on quite a big record company, Gazette are still classified as indies...but I'm pretty sure that with their greatness and growing popularity Gazette will make it big very soon!!

Initial D ~ Reita's favourite comic

J is for...
Judgement Day ~ A dvd of one of Gazette's concert packed with amazing live performances

M is for...
Macho ~ Reita would like to be macho in 5 years time...and more macho in 10 years time *imagines Reita with lots of muscle* oO

Marilyn Manson ~ Erm...I'm not sure if Kai likes him (he might do...his favourite album is by him) but he said that he wanted to go to a Marilyn Manson concert *shruggles* He was friends with hide so who wouldn't?

Man ~ None of Gazette are dissatisfied with being a guy and none would particularly prefer to be a girl (my personal messages to the members: Aoi ~ girls do have fun too, Kai ~ girls can be in bands, Reita ~ not all girls relationships are slushy y'know ^ ^)

N is for...
Naked ~ If no-one's around then Kai sleeps naked...

O is for...
Nothing at the moment

P is for...
Pearl ~ Kai's drum make, a very popular choice with a lot of indies drummers

Nothing at the moment

R is for...
Reila ~ A collection (kinda) of three singles, Reila Lesson G, Reila Lesson O and Reila Lesson D. It's an absolutely gorgeous, heartfelt song and is one of my favourites

Reita ~ Gazette's bassist, always mistaken for not having a nose. Although he can be quite quiet, Reita sometimes reveals his mad side and sends the fangirls crazy...and don't forget the pokey pokey dance!! Where would we be without him?

Rivals ~ Kai says his rival's Ruki...and Ruki says his rivals are all of the other members...aren't they a happy bunch of people *huggles them all*

Ruki ~ The vocalist and most daring member of the band. Ruki's the youngest member and is admired and loved for his determination and total madness XD He has some cute times and some scary times but that's Ruki and we all love him for it

Runny nose ~ On stage, Aoi always checks to make sure he doesn't have a runny nose =3

Sleep ~ Reita and Kai both find lack of sleep the worst thing on tours...and Kai always moans 'sleepy'

SMAP ~ Kai's first ever live XD

Stress ~ Being in a band is an extremely difficult time and the members relieve their stress by games, smoking and knocking out in the car

Superstition ~ Gazette aren't very superstitious and the only superstitious stuff they think is to believe in themselves and that the more modest someone is, the more people will be drawn to them...not exactly what I call anything to do with superstition but still...

T is for...
