| He is Ruki (Vocal), my favourite member from The GazettE |
and now my own fact about The GazettE is that I know them when I was still in my late first year of junior high school (I already graduate from high school now and soon will attend college) from one of my friend at Friendster (there is no Facebook yet that time), I read her status about The GazettE about their song, Hyena and then I interested in it, dowloaded their song and I just fell in love with them right away, along with that, I also fell in love with the whole Visual Kei bands and songs, like Alice Nine, Versailles, ScreW, SuG, etc, etc.
That time, I already loved Japanese and Korean song, and there is no K-Wave what-so-ever like now, and I have no friend that knows The GazettE (actually none of my friends knows them right now too). Soo that's what encouraging me to write this post, I want to introduce them to the rest of the world that haven't know The GazettE and I really want you to try to listen to one of their song (escpecially for you who loves Rock, Heavy Metal, or just Japanese music)
