The day I got to meet you was the happiest day of my life. It doesn't feel real that you're gone, but you're not truly gone. You'll live on through the GazettE and the music you helped create. You'll live on in the hearts of all of your fans. Thank you for making music that has touched my heart so deeply. Thank you for saving my life, I was too nervous to tell you that in person when I met you, so now's my chance. Happy birthday Reita 🎂, GazeRock is not dead! 🤟

REITA.
Thank you for always being so breathtakingly, honestly, you.
You were the ever present heartbeat that kept so many of us going. We will never forget the impact you had on our lives.

Happy birthday Reita!

It's weird to be thinking about you but you not being here anymore. Meeting you at a meet and greet once and seeing just how excited you were is one of my most cherished memories. You and The GazettE will always be something so precious to me because you not only helped to get me through one of the darkest times in my life but you also reignited my love of writing.

We miss you.

Happy birthday, Reita! It's been a huge honor to be able to a fan and witness to your music. Thank you so much for everything that you have given us, and I hope that you can feel all the love that we'll give to you, forever and always.

Happy belated birthday, Reita.

It is still difficult for me to process what really happened, and even harder to find the right words to describe how I'm feeling. You were - and still are - an inspiration to many. You and your bandmates are people that have managed to pull others from the deepest pits of their personal hells.
It's a shame we did not get to meet in this life, but let's hope that we'll see each other in the next.

With love,
Saint, one of the many comforted by The GazettE.

I am saddened to know that I will never get to see your beautiful smile on stage but I know your presence will always be watching over every performance the GazettE has from now on. Please continue to watch over us Reita. We all love and miss you so much. Thank you for everything you have done for us. Forever five. ♡

Happy belated birthday Reita. No words can express how much I miss you. Everytime I listen to the gazette, I always think of you and how awesome and cool you are. When I first heard about you guys, I became hooked on your music. You're the reason why I learned to play the bass and are my inspiration. I wish there was a way to bring you back, I always wanted to meet you and the crew but now I won't able to. Reita, I want to meet you one day on the other side ok? Much love. ?

Hola! No se si es porque somos de la misma edad o porque no he tenido la oportunidad de ver a The GazettE en directo pero tu partida me ha tocado demasiado. Se que donde estés seguirás velando por los tuyos y por la música, esa música que nos acompaña, esa música que nos da vida, y será esta la que nos siga guiando como tú querías. Espero que todas estas muestras de amor te den paz y te iluminen. Feliz cumpleaños. Un abrazo para todos.

Goodbye Reita.

You and the Gazette were one of the first visual kei bands I ever listened to, and your impact you and your music have had on my life means alot to me. It saddens me I will never get to see you live. You will be missed by many.

ありがとう ございます

You were the first visual kei band I ever listened to. I will never forget how impressed I was by 'Dogma.' Thank you, The Gazette. Thank you, Reita. May you rest in peace.

Dear Reita,

It’s been a choc, profound pain and a very solemn moment when I learnt about your passing.

The Gazette was a big part of my youth, especially the aesthetic - of which you were a great part. Moreover, it is still a great part of my adult life and I will always be grateful to you and the band for the great music ; a catharsis for my soul.

The words are missing. Probably because pain is still there somewhere, but it will always be ephemeral. Your legacy, on the contrary, is eternal.

Back in 2010, when I had no clue what vkei was, a video of you playing made me feel the urge to know more about you. That's how I became a fan of The Gazette, and how I discovered a genre which became dearly to me. I wished for a long time to see you, your band live someday. But time flies fast, dreadingly so. I might never be able to see you anymore, but I hope you know that you will always be loved and remembered, Reita.

Grief is just love with nowhere to go.
All your family, your friends and fans are missing you.

"They that love beyond the world cannot be separated from it.
Death cannot kill what never dies.
Nor can spirits ever be divided, that love and live in the same divine principle, the root and record of their friendship.
If absence be not death, neither is theirs.
Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas;
They live in one another still."

I was way too young to listen to the Gazette when I was 6 years old but with unlimited access to the internet and unsupervised, I found the band that made me fall in love with vkei. Thank you for being a huge part of my life from childhood all the way to adulthood.

I was 17 when I started listening to The Gazette, now I’m 33, even though I don’t personally know Reita, but my pain is indescribable from the loss of him. I still don’t believe it, every day I think it was a bad dream. The gazette forever, Reita in the heart forever! ❤️ From Aleesi
