The gazette just tweeted that Reita passed away on 4/15. Actually can’t believe this, I thought it was a joke. What the actual fuck? Rest in piece, I hope the members are okay. He will be missed 
Edit: English post as well.

Fucking hell. R.I.P

Wasn’t the most ardent fan of theirs, but the GazettE were one of the bands that got me into visual kei in my teens.

This is so sad. One of the biggest icons of the Neo Visual Kei, such a nice guy.
It makes me crazy to think about the tweet he made yesterday.
“I wish the GazettE last forever”.
That hurts.

I am in shock. The GazettE were one of my favourite bands in my teenage years. Is it just me or was this really unexpected? What a great loss. Rest in peace

This is the hardest musician death I have ever had to face, he is part of the band that inspired me to make music. I’m at a loss for words, rest in peace king, you have left a huge mark on people all over the world through your passion and your incredible contribution to music, you shall not be forgotten

He could’ve been ill and that tweet would still make sense. Anyways, no speculation please.

Holy shit?? I am completely shocked. This is extremely saddening. The Gazette was a big part of myself getting into visual kei back in the days and I know for many others as well. Still love them dearly. Rest in peace Reita

this will be really hard to process…
way too young, and it doesn’t feel right at all, with their music finally picking up steam again. it’s like they were meant to achieve so much more together, but given how private this band has always been, it’s hard to say anything else.
RIP.
