Arena Special v.48
--Uruha, what kind of person would you say you are?
U: A troublesome one.
--In what way are you troublesome, Uruha?
U: My stomach aches a lot! It's really troublesome lol
--So you get stomach aches when ure nervous?
U: No. It's different. Somehow- when I get in the car, I get stomach aches. I had stomach aches on the way here too. So I always have my stock of stomachache pills in the car lol
--I guess hoping that you wont get a stomach ache wont really help eh? Power of the mind, they say?
U: You're 100% right. Doesnt help at all!
--Then what about lives then?
U: I dont get stomach aches at lives.
--Good! I thought you'd have your pills put nicely on top of your amp lol.
U: If my stomach feels upset during a live, I dont care what'll happen- I'd just rush to the toilet lol]
--And after that you can continue rocking out?! Wahaha!
U: Yeah, the break time was for me to go to the toilet luls.
--Please dont say it like that haha!
U: After my toilet break,I'll be like "I cant make a mistake now!" while playing but then I do make one lols.
--I guess somehow, things like that just happen.
U: It's fate. I gave up trying to fight it.
--You gave up!?
U: No. For instance, you've already practised it perfectly. You can play it perfectly. But on stage- you mess it up. Its fate.
--In that case, its not your technique, its your mental state thats causing the problem.
U: But when it happened I wasnt nervous at all... And when that happens- I know, fate just wont let me finish my guitar plays cleanly at that time lol
--Rather than think "I cant mess up now", why not think hard "I never mess up!"?
U: Ah, but you're still aware that you cant mess up "now"...
--Ahaha..ha..hmmm You're one troublesome guy lol
U: I know right? lols I feel that way aswell.
--How different is the GazettE Uruha and the real you?You seem to be really easy going tho.
U: Aah... Maybe you see me with 2 personalities bcos I don't talk on stage. But my easygoing personality shows even when I'm stage yknow!
--Really? Haha~
U: Yeah, I think it shows. But I can't really do MCs. I can't take the mic and say stuff like "Oi! I...fucking love all of you!! " lol. I'd probably laugh when I'm halfway through saying that
--I would be too embarrassed to say that too.
U: I would look ridiculous if I said that... For the vocalist, their voice is their weapon, right? So its cool when they convey their love using their voice. But I am a guitarist. I am a guitarist so please let me convey my love to you using my guitar. Me talking on the mic is just ridiculous. Unless I suddenly become the vocalist lols
--I see. Then why not try shuffling ur positions with ur band members?
U: I can totally be the vocalist, no prob! Ah no... I have bad memories of becoming a back-up vocalist before. I take it back, I don't want to be a vocalist...
--What happened?
U: I sang LINDA LINDA. It was terrible hahaha!
--Why you chose to sing that song is also a mystery.
U: Cos it was like an easy karaoke song. The tune was also easy for a band to play. We had to sing it in front of people so we chose and easy number. We were like- it'll be interesting~ Let's try it out~ We thought we were going to perform in a multi-band event but... in the end, unfortunately we had performed it at Shibuya AX...
--Let's bring the timeline forward abit. What's in ur head when you see urself in the DVDs, say- ur finale at Yoyogi for example?
U: Hmm... I've never thought about it. I always watch our DVDs tho. U could say that I'm my number 1 fan when I watch the DVDs. Or you could say that, I watch myself perform on the videos... the way a parent would watch over their child?
--So do you think this musician Uruha as a really cool guy?
U: Such thoughts seldom come up to me in my mind....
--You're too hard on yourself.
U: I guess so. But I feel that I have a long way to go still. There's still lots I have to do lol. I'm almost, kinda frustrated with myself. I'll be watching vids & commenting on how the guitarist need to work harder only to realise that I'm commenting on myself.
--What would the guitarist Uruha say to you then?
U: Nothing. We are one of the same. Whatever is directed to the guitarist Uruha is directed to the real me.
--But dare I say the guitarist Uruha and the real you are two different people?U: I used to treat both of them as two entities but- ah, I don't get it! I do feel that both of them are different but, we're the same. Yes, my point is. The real me and the guitarist Uruha is always together. We're always together.
--What made you think that way?
U: I started thinking about it when someone pointed out that the me on and off stage are 2 different people. I'm still the same person, with or without make-up, right? All these questions come up. Maybe I do have 2 personalities?Maybe Uruha is what I portray myself to be? It's still a mystery, even to me. But in the end, whatever I do will effect Uruha as well so... what's the difference....
--Simply put it, when you have your make up and costume on, you're just completely transformed.
U: If only it was that simple... I had that kind of mindset long ago, but I don't think I can apply such simplicity to it now...
--Ahaha, I guess you cant treat it like a transformation suit, eh?
U: Yeah. Stuff like that are only in fantasy tales or in animes.
--Or rather than expressing urself thru Uruha, you want Uruha to be more closer to you?
U: Yeah, I've thought about that as well. The more I think about the relation between the real me and Uruha, the more I realise how complex this is...
--If you were to be asked this question again after a long time, your reply would probably be different.
U: I hope I answer, "Yes, I have this switch I turn on and off when I go on and off stage~" lol. But then again, even I myself can't forsee that.

K: OK.Time for a letter!
"Dear Kai, when i was walking around town alone- i felt the wind bowing on my behind"
Hahaha~! Ehem
"And when I checked, my skirt was up. My butt was exposed for all to see. My skirt went in with my the tights that i was wearing.It was soo embarassing!"
End of letter.
Well then. Ah... i guess it happens to all girls, right? Once or twice in their life. Or at least once... right? Am i right? When your skirt is up and you dont realize it. Must've been super embarrassing! If this happend to guys, we'd be super embarassed too! Ah.. but not with skirts! If its for guys,it'll be a tear in our pants or a burn mark or smthg. It's the same,right?The level of embarrassment is the same,right?

Kai Radio 2008
K: I'll read the next letter now!
Radio name: Nacchan.
"I've realised that the number of overseas fans attending Gazetto lives is increasing! I've been wondering about the overseas fans and how many of them came to Japan to see Gazetto's lives Loots of overseas fans came to Gazetto's outdoor live at Fujikyu Highland. And for that live, my seat was next to a Brazillian gazefan. That person was really rocking it out along with all of us, I was really touched. A person from halfway across the globe from us came to see the GazettE perform- I was really touched once more. We come from different countries but we are both gazefans. My heart was overflowng with emotion.I guess this is all thanks to the internet"
K: Yes, I've realised that too. The fact that we're getting more and more overseas fans coming over to Japan to see us perform. The overseas fans. It seems that they come from everywhere, all across the globe. Maybe our Europe tour was the start of it all. But *nervous laugh* somehow we're getting lots of Brazillian fans coming over too. We got lots of presents from fans at the Fujikyu live. We got this present from, somewhat like a representative of the Brazillian fans. It was like a collection of letters from Brazillian fans. It wasnt just loads of letters, they made it into a notebook. There were some language mistakes here and there tho *nervous laugh*
But reading it, I just felt that they really, really know the band, GazettE. They used simple Japanese and simple English. But we understood what they wanted to convey to us. It was a great piece- but seriously there were lots in there! If the opportunity comes, we'd like to go there- to Brazil. Err- I don't think we could go somewhere in the near future yet but we'll hold on to that idea for later, k. We've been thinking about going to South Korea too. If we come accross the opportunity to do it, that is.
K: OK. Next letter! Radio name: ... How do I read this?! Kurobikarisu? lol- Oh! Kuro ni Hikaru.
"It was raining at your Fujikyu live! I think its Aoi's fault! He's the rain-man! Thanks to him, I got a cold. Not funny man."
K: Rain man?! I've had this chat before. I've realised that it always rains on our live-days. I dont think it's Aoi's the rain man tho! It's been on our mind lately. We even checked among the members, who was and wasn't there when it started to rain. And we came to the conclusion that it wasnt among the Gazemembers but... maybe we have lots of rain-men in our staff, yknow! So its not the Gaze-members fault if it rains OK! Hmmm... I think the band members agree with me on this. And its definitely not Aoi! A lot of people say Aoi's the rain-man but I must disagree. Hmm... Hehe.. And about your cold... Get well soon, OK! When it rained Ruki said "Can't really help it. Lets just have fun.Things like this is proof that we dont live in a dream" Ruki's so cool!
