Don’t have much to add to what has been said already, but wow.
Can’t help to wonder what the future of the band will look like.

I just saw the news from someone’s story and straight away came here. The gazette is one of my first and favourite band. Plus, I was recently getting back to their music too. Rip Reita (╥﹏╥)…

I can’t even express how I feel about this, it’s so sudden and unexpected 
I’ve been dealing with loss and grief in my family quite a lot recently so this hurts like hell, almost as if it was a relative or a friend of mine 
R.I.P. Reita, you will be greatly missed.

That’s all I can say right now.
In the same boat as you. Thought it was a late april fools thinf but then realised that would be a very shitty joke and now just in disbelief. Did not see that coming at all. RIP REITA!!!

When I saw the thread title some hours ago I was in disbelieve. I still can not really accept it to be true.
I always knew some day there would be such news about a band I really cared about.
He was way too young. I can’t imagine how this must be for his band mates, friends and family.
Terrible Terrible. Rest in peace, Reita.

WOW WHAT THE HELL
We just lost VK’s biggest band…
A major part of my life since I was 16 years old. This one is tough to swallow.
Goodbye Reita.

What the fuck?! Oh my god. Literally feels unreal. He was my favorite bassist and was the reason I ever even started playing bass. I was going to buy some stuff from his jewelry shop last year and just never got around to it. Fucking Christ man. RIP to the young legend.

There’s so much tragedy going on…idk this is very sad. Words don’t describe this event. This band back then was one of the main reasons I got into vkei and it wouldn’t have been possible without reita playing his bass and doing what he does best. So far this band is the only one I know that has 2 deaths in their bands history as of recently. Their ex-drummer also passed away not too long ago and now reita. Dispite the ex-drummer being a former member the band was impacted by that. Its a very sad thing to happen. The reason why I mention this is because I hope the other members don’t lose hope or faith. Worried about them. I hope they take care of themselves. Stay strong The gazette 
The band collectively loved their recent best re-recording album when it came out. I think I’ll be listening to this in memory of reita. Thank you for such a amazing and memorable music. RIP reita 
Plays HETERODOXY album

He’s the reason I got into vkei, the reason I picked up bass.
He was such a shining star he will be missed so dearly
Like he tweeted yesterday, i hope the Gazette never dies bc he will live on through his music forever
