Damn
unexpected. I see that they haven’t said causes or anything. I just got a little shocked. too young. I don’t know what the gazette will do in circumstances like this.

Holy cow, this is something I totally did not expect… R.I.P. king, he’s been there practically all the way since my discovering vk all those years ago, feels very strange to know he’s no longer with us.

For a guy that started in visual kei in the middle 07 he was quite a person. so sad. gonna miss him. His bassline in silly god disco makes that song one of my favorite of gazette.

This statement comes very early from japanese standards. Recently we’ve lost Sakamoto, Sakurai, Heath and many others and the annoucement comes at least a week later.
In the same week they are realising a dvd from his last live at budokan. Pretty weird.
May he rest in peace and his family and friends find a way to keep going. There’s no place for human nature in this shit scene.

Ruki just lost his dog Koron-Chan this month too, life is cruel and unfair. So sad, I hope all the members and staff are holding up as best as they can.

Everybody is free to express their grief and sadness here, but this is not the place to talk about rumors.
Any further speculations on the cause of his death will be immediately deleted.

I’m not making some list. Just saying he was a big name worldwide for anyone that started listinening visual kei in 2000’s, he surely will leave a big hole and impact in all of us.
Just glad I could see him live for once.
