The GazettE Club Zy. personal long interview: RUKI (Part 4 of 4)

Part 1 | 2 | 3 | 4

I wanted to make a flow which will keep changing in a long time period. And when we follow that flow, the things that we do at each point of time will be connected to the next.

Q: At present, the GazettE don't follow the usual flow of "releasing an album, then going on a tour, then preparing for the next project", but rather "projecting the things you want to do at each point of time". "And with that the new feelings which were born out of it will be connected to the next (works)", in a positive sense, you guys are creating things for the yet unknown future. Did you intend to do that?

RUKI: Yeah. We wanted to make a flow and adapt to each and every changes that occur in it. And actually, by following that flow, mysteriously, the meaning each and every thing that we do becomes connected to our next works, or rather there is some kind of consistency. For us, being in the GazettE is also, partly, a job-like thing. But, if people ask, "So do you do this out of duty?", it's not like that at all. We keep going forward while remaining faithful the feelings that we want to express.

Part 1 | 2 | 3 | 4

As we spent more time on music, I felt that we should present the us who had levelled up.

Q: So first, you clear the 'homework' that is right in front of you.

Tora: That's right. I just barely scrapped by. But, because we had more time in our hands, I spent more time on music. And because of that, I felt that we should present the us who had levelled up.

Screw Vif Interview (2015.08.13) Part 2 of 2

Part 1 | 2

I felt uneasy about the abnormality (Manabu)

Q: While Jin-san's song 'AENESTHESIA' has heavy side to it, the 'kiesouna kanjou ga mada atatakai' part in the chorus is so beautiful. I was surprised by the gap.

Jin: In the preview only the chorus was shown, and so a lot of people thought it was a ballad song. I think we surprised them when we performed the full song on our pre-release live performance. In a good way, we betrayed their expectation. I think this song has more feelings than the one I made for 'konsui'.

Manabu: I got the impression that Jin's other song, 'NO PAIN NO GAIN' was very straightforward during the demo stage, so I wanted to include a different part in it. I wanted to add something in the ending. I also got the impression that the song is kind of weird. If you see the details there are abnormality in it.
