I kinda stumbled across your journal and I must say that I love your dissections of their songs - they're great. Anyway, I just wanted to know what you have to say of a strong opinion of mine... I really, really like the GazettE since the art they produce is innovative, intriguing, interesting and frankly beautiful, but, I think that the GazettE, rather Ruki (since he is the lyricist) is quite ridiculous, yet that doesn’t mean that they aren’t competent, talented, lack creativity or are dispassionate performers. But observe the way they propagate their image and music. It’s akin to a cult of personality, designed to attract and target fools. I wouldn’t just blame the fans, on part the band’s affect on the fans is also reflective of the artist and how they choose to [or are forced to] present themselves. Ask some of the members… WHY do you present yourself like idols, glorifying every idiosyncratic detail of yourself, despite what you say against idolatry? Sure they are a band run by a BUSINESS and money matters, but hey - plenty of

Wow, you are presenting me with questions that I feel rather ill-equipped to answer! But I shall try to outline my views on the matter anyway. I'm afraid this turned out a bit long, and I'm not sure I really answered your questions, I'm sorry ^^; Feel free to ask me to elaborate on anything

Oh, wow! I must admit I wasn't expecting such a detailed and thorough answer, but of course, I love that you did provide me with just that, since I love to read the thoughts of deep-thinkers, much like yourself :) And don't worry! You did answer my questions! In my opinion, you did it really, really well. I suppose I feed off what people who are more knowledgeable upon the topic in question, have to say, and I suppose I wanted a little bit of reassurance as well, if I am entirely honest. Because I hated having these 'hazy' images of the GazettE idolizing themselves etc. So I needed another point of view
