So here you go!

As requested I have translated a recent interview about TOXIC. Since the preview songs have been out, it may be a good time to start looking into what this album is about. It's quite a serious interview, but very precious! Original article is here.

So enjoy. ^^

Got my questions from colberry. <3



1. It's tea time! And you are cordially invited! Who is the host of this lovely tea party, who do you choose as your +1 and what tea will you be served?
The host would be Tora from Alice Nine. We all know that he's a good host, and I'd bring Aoi to the party. Because tea party = sweets and Aoi said that he adores sweets. Personally I still can't imagine Aoi eating sweet stuffs (even he said it didn't suit his image lol), so I'd love to see him going crazy over the lovely sweets!


2. Oh no! Your CD seems to be skipping. What song would you not mind hearing over and over? 
Since Remember The Urge has just come out, I've been listening to ｢痴情｣ A LOT. Like A LOT. *laughs* So of course I wouldn't mind hearing it for the whole day. It is an intense song, despite of it and the heavy mood it created, I love RUKI's voice there.. And the lyric is just wonderful. You can read a good translation (not google-translated, ahem) of the lyric here. I've been missing RUKI's kanji plays in their recent songs, but this song made it up. <3


3. If you could have any jrocker cook a delectable dinner for you, who would you choose?
Why of course it's Kai! His beef stroganoff looks really delicious, so it would be superb if I could have him cook that for me. I heard that his yakisoba is good too. And Kai once posted pictures of a drink in his blog (I think the brand was Cherie Dolce), I tried it, and it's just VERY SWEET! So I guess he's a dessert person, I'm really looking forward to what kind of desserts he'd serve me! 


4. What lyric best describes your life right now?
I guess it's ''Blackbird" from The Beatles. These days I've been thinking of how everything and everyone have their own timing. This past few months were like a smooth sail after the hurricane of thesis writing and graduation exam. I think another determining period of time for me will about to start next month. I've been watching my friends going past theirs so I'm preparing and waiting for my turn now. =)


5. You find yourself seated next to one of your favorite musicians on an airplane. How do you react? (aka: to squeal or not to squeal :3)
If I were on a plane and Uruha sat next to me, I'd DEFINITELY SQUEAL. Inwardly. And maybe I'd consider tying him up and kidnapping him at that moment or asking for his phone number and address so I could stalk him but I doubt I have the guts to do it. I'm the type who tried to keep myself composed when I'm around people I respect (or even people I idolize, even though there haven't been many occasions like that). So maybe I'd just steal a few glances while trying to have a small talk (like I usually do to people sitting next to me on an airplane), and pretend to only realize who he is it later. I think that's quite normal, they're not that recognizable in daily attire anyway. Or maybe I wouldn't tell him that I know who he is. I imagine he'd feel uncomfortable or embarrassed sitting beside a fan. So yeah, maybe I'd keep it at that level but I wouldn't squeal out loud, no. *laughs nervously* OH! And I want to see his face when he sleeps! Ahaha. So if this happened someday I hope the journey would be long enough.
(Oh no. Does that make me sound like a pervert? 。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・ )

Another dear friend passed away this morning.
And just like some other people might have said, good times don't last long.
Good people will always go too fast, too soon.

I can't remember exactly when I stumbled upon his journal here in LJ, I guess it was sometime around last year when I was still in Tokyo. He's such a unique person.
When I found out at that time he was living in Yamanashi, I remember telling him things like, "OMG! You're a Japanese fan? I know Yamanashi, let's meet someday!" And we got excited talking about Fuji-Q Highland.

Even when we came to the same lives a few times, in the end the chance didn't come. 
That day will really never come now, eh?

Someone said to me on twitter, sometimes once is just once, and I keep telling myself that as long as we are still alive there will always be another chance. Now it really has just dawned to me.
We will never know how long we can live. 

So today I made a promise to myself to try grabbing every chance I see and make sure to let everyone that I love know that I love them. I will use every opportunity I have to meet and spend time with or talk to people that I care. Because then again, you will never know when you will go or when they will go.

Thank you, chizurushin for reminding me this and I'm grateful to know you.
Rest in peace, and see? We all love you even though some of us might not have had the chance to tell you that before you left. I just want you to know. =')

So here it is the long-postponed translation of the GazettE on Ameba Studio. This is the most hilarious interview I've watched these days. I haven't found this kind of details about the members anywhere else. XD
As usual, there could be mistakes and/ or misinterpretations in this translation, so if you find them, please tell me. =) 

If you want to find the video on Youtube, the first part is here.
Or you can also download the whole video uploaded by filipa_sheppa  here. (MU & MF)

I would recommend downloading because I have to apologize for skipping some parts, that's why I put the minutes and seconds of each sections above the dialogues. So please enjoy!


the GazettE on Ameba Studio
[19.07.2009]

----------------------

( On to what we don't see in DIM Making DVD, Aoi being a daddy, Kai being a mother, the reason for Ruki's lower back pain, Reita being a bully and being bullied, and Uruha's secret love! )

I miss our stupid conversations in your car, which would leave us wondering if it will ever end, which no one else would understand -- because in such a familiar city like Jogja for us, we needed something not everyone could know.

This is a bit old, around DIM era, but I don't think this one had been translated before. So because I miss Aoi so much right now *coughs* and also as a celebration of the completion of the GazettE's 5th album TOXIC, I decided to translate it.

There could be mistakes and/ or misinterpretations in this translation, so if you find them, please tell me. =)

Original video of the show was uploaded by devilish_alegna in this post. 
Enjoy now!

It's been quite a long time since, my apologies, but here I bring you the last part of the radio show interview. As usual, there could be mistakes and/or misinterpretations in this translation, so if you find them, please tell me. =)

Original recording of the show was uploaded by distressedcoma in this entry.
Now, enjoy!
