The GazettE is a Japanese visual kei rock band that formed in 2002. They’ve been around for over twenty years and only had one lineup change when Yune, the drummer, left in 2003. Kai replaced him.
Since then, it has been all the same members. They’ve released ten albums, six EPs, and a bunch of singles.
The GazettE is one of my favorite bands.
I woke up to the news on Monday that Reita, the bassist, had passed away.
He was only 42. They have not announced a cause of death. But it seems sudden and unexpected. I feel for everyone who loves him. Losing someone is devastating, and I know many people are hurting right now.
A few days before he passed away, he wrote on Twitter, “I hope the GazettE will last forever.”
That makes me tear up. He loved what he did. He loved his band.
Rest in peace, Reita.

So sad. 😦
Yes, may he rest in peace.
It’s always tough to deal with the death of someone who impacted our lives positively, like an author, a musician, a poet, an actor, etc. Even if we never met them in person, they were important people in our lives, so we mourn.
His music WILL last forever.
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
