I recall a conversation on tumblr where two girls were talking about how one met Ruki on the streets in Japan. He usually is friendly if he realizes you're not going to take pictures, from one fan encounter I heard of, but this girl supposedly just called him 'Daddy' right to his face and he just turned heel and walked the other way. They were laughing about it, though I personally don't see the humor in embarrassing yourself like that. 

I'm not the biggest Ruki fan, but he was nice when I met him in Dallas. It was brief, but he was grateful so maybe his supposed perception of American fans has changed.

Probably wouldn't be possibly anyway, but Kagrra,. 

Dallas did the numbering system too, which was nice. Were a few people who tried to cut in line though and even threw attitude when they found out it was fans enforcing it and not staff. 

I wish I had gone to New York because the setlist they got was my dream one, but I'm happy with what I got anyway because they threw back with Hyena and I loved that song when I was in High School just because of Reita's bass and it was amazing to hear live. He really is great to watch live.

Lines for GazettE shows are wild though so that's half the experience lmao 

Not my story, but of a friend. She was in Japan during Christmas time and had tickets for the GazettE’s Christmas live, but because of her friend suddenly being mad about something and refusing to go-she missed it.

Club Zy Mag vol.29 (Ruki (The Gazette), D-OUT)

 

Is this still up for grabs? I won't be able to pay shipping til this Friday, so it's okay if you say no. 

I would say the GazettE fandom is one of the worst. I remember a live my friend went to Japan, a foreigner bit a Japanese girl for Ruki's water bottle hard enough to make her bleed. Ruki even tweeted about it. 

Then stories of fans punching each other and acting rude.

I'm leaning on the side of him being easily impressed. Some people just are a bit Jimmy Fallon-y and doing a show makes them emphasize that side of their personality.

 

That said, I do think the people watching and commenting on those videos does affect many reviewers quite a bit. Can't remember who it was, maybe Bald Man or Pictures, Noise and Words, who said that their first Dir en Grey video resulted in a death threat. As a result, they're now much more careful with their words. Bald Man I've also seen be quite strict with his comment moderation.

Yeah,  I liked Ryan Mac for a while, but he seemed so impressed by everything that it became boring. He is a nice person however, I have had at least one conversation with him at least.

Also doesn't surprise me about the Death Threats. Some VK Fans are just ignorant and think everyone should like the same stuff they do.

I am rereading the Darker Shade of Magic series by V.E. Schwab

I just finished reading her other two books, Vicious and Vengeful as well.

I kind of wish the GazettE had a DVD for their Christmas live they did way back. If I remember correctly, they even played some Christmas songs. 

I feel like RyanMac reacts the way he does because it's safe and he doesn't want to piss anyone off. I doubt he really likes all the stuff he's shown, or he does and is easily impressed by everything. 

Japan Discoveries is trash honestly, my friends have dealt with them before and some of them never got the stuff they ordered. Also from what I heard, their staff is incredibly rude, that is if you can get them to respond to your messages.

I've always felt uneasy about him. 

The last two times I saw coldrain it was only a 30 minute set, but they know how to work a crowd within that time. 

My friend does videos on youtube, mainly the GazettE. Her url is dimskies, and she even has a vlog with me in it (ha ha) She mainly does GazettE-related videos, but she has really fun vlogs (Some during the 15th anniversary for GazettE so it's fun to watch), likes to talk about tattoos and she posts helpful videos for the younger sixth guns to try and help them with stuff like concert tickets and what not.

just admit you wanted to talk about this

 

I forgot about him and now my night is ruined. Thanks lmao

I watch a few channels, but sometimes fans can be cringey and it just gives me a laugh.

Aoi's almost left too because he felt he wasn't contributing anything musically, and didn't like being told how to play guitar. (I got that from the interview with Uruha in his R&R, I'll have to look for the link to it.) So I'm hoping that it doesn't get to the point where he feels the same and he actually just leaves. Aoi writes very emotional songs, but they're very good and I wish Ruki let the others have more input. 

edit: here it is

I want to do something related to Versailles but their main logo looks like an oversized tramp stamp.

Perhaps you could visit an artist, and maybe they can work with whatever artwork you show them and put their own spin on it?

My first tattoo, which I just got, is GazettE related-but I also tied it into my Filipino heritage. I had the idea when I saw them in LA and they played VORTEX, but I figured I'd tie it into my other tattoo idea to having the Filipino national flower on me. I like how it turned out, but I'm going to go back and add more to it, and possibly have her fix the e in the me at the end of the sentence. Ha ha

I really like a lot of the songs I've heard off this album, so I decided to finally buy it after spamming their youtube videos.

The GazettE having a vevo and putting their MV's on there is actually better tbh. Now you can watch their MV's without worrying about your country being blocked for stupid reasons. 

Thanks to everyone for the words. (Sorry, not sure how to put it ;^^)

I find myself overthinking about myself when I talk to someone, or when I hang out with someone. I may have not said anything offensive/awkward, but then my anxiety tells me that I did and that person now hates me. 

I've gotten better to a point, but it's still hard to find someone here that I truly could consider a best friend. But I feel like in time I'll eventually be okay with that.

I hear Utah can be a lot like the deep southern states too? Lot of Mormons or something. I've seen people do it but when I listen to them talk it's so superficial it makes me tired.

 

I can attest that the way Mormons are is that they are very superficial, especially since I was raised as one. In our Young Women's especially it was hard, because I was into different things than the other girls so they tended to shun me but then turn around and pretend to be nice whenever our leaders were around. So I've grown up thinking this is how everyone is, and that they're being nice to me to save face.

For me, connecting with others is sort of hard. 

Other than the friends and connections I made via twitter (and yes, tumblr, but none of us even use that platform anymore), I don't really connect with anyone around me where I live. Yeah, I have a boyfriend and sometimes I feel like we're on the same level on most things, I don't have many friends outside of my relationship. I used to hang out with my ex-coworker/current coworker, but I find that they don't listen to what I have to say most of the time and we have very little in common as to what we like. And I found that my one friend was more interested in what I could give her (concert tickets), rather than taking anything of true value out of our friendship.

I discussed plans up until I bought the tickets for this tour, and now that I've bought the tickets she won't even acknowledge that I exist or even contribute to the group chat on facebook. 

On another note, I lost a best friend a couple of months back due to the fact that we were just in different spots in our lives. She took her anger out on me, and I didn't respond well to it so we both decided to end the friendship. 

I can't even connect with my own family. 

I find myself in a state of depression because I do feel alone. Talking with my friends on LINE/Twitter sometimes helps, but they're states away and travelling is hard for me. I know I'm doing this to myself most likely, because I tend to shut people out. But I don't know what friendships I'm building are genuine or not. I don't know if people think I'm too annoying, cause I talk too much when I get comfortable, or they think I'm weird cause I don't speak at all.

I might be overthinking things, but I wish I really had someone other than my boyfriend around here that I could just sit and talk to.

I'm sorry, but Ruki's had that haircut for 6 months it kind of lost it's charm.
