chanfors:
what if all my posts were queued and I had died 3 years ago
This is disturbing, but it could be the case. Recently, someone I knew died in a car accident, and their Facebook was still up like they were alive. There were even posts from the day before their death. Its scary how social media translates someone’s death.

Something the GazettE want to do during teenager...
Ruki: "Gotten my drivers license. I really wonder why I never did that."
Uruha: "Seriously, why didn't you?"
Ruki: "And I had so many chances to go, too. I want to completely change that "If I have time to go to the driving school, I'll play instead" kind of thinking I had at the time."
Aoi: "I would have liked to take the college entrance exams."
Ruki: "That's a lie."
Aoi: "I didn't graduate high school, though."
Reita: "Aren't you getting the order wrong?"
Aoi: "I just wish I had been able to at least go to college~~~ Kinda thing. I'm kidding, though."
Kai: "For me it's piano. My mom played, and we have a grand piano in our house, so I wonder why I never learned it. I tried it once, but then I gave up."
Reita: "Because he's a thoroughbred."
Aoi: "Well, it's not too late, so why don't you start now?"
Kai: "But the drums......"
Aoi: "Couldn't you do both~~?"
Uruha: "For me it's English. I wish I'd have learned it while I was at the right age. My English grades were always a 5 on the 5-point scale."
Ruki: "...I guess you can repaint the past, huh."
Aoi: "We can say that cause there's no one here that knows."
Reita: "But I've never heard that from Uruha."
Aoi: "Rather, I've never heard you speak English."
Reita: "I went to an industrial high school, but I wish I had gotten qualifications from there. I didn't get any."
Uruha: "Then why did you go?"
Kai: "Huh? Didn't you say once you were getting a permit to handle dangerous machinery or something?"
Reita: "I failed~!"
Aoi: "So it's not that you wished you had done it, you couldn't."
Reita: "....And now that I think about it, it wouldn't have been anything like that. And guarantees like that are important."
Ruki: "That's an adult way of thinking."
Aoi: "No, that is important, though."

RUTHLESS DEED
---The eerie, turbulent maliciousness can also be felt in this song.
Uruha: When I made the original melody, I composed it with the image of "nil". And how it has become a song with a strong impact, I think that's because of the words RUKi attached to it.
---In the beginning, the repeating monologue-like voicing is included. Really, the influence of the words in this song is unfathomable.
RUKI: The so-called paradox is like this. The things that people created happened to be a harm to others, isn't there such reality? Even though from the beginning we must have known that there's such possibility. There's nothing but this kind of paradox.
Uruha: It completely points towards [__]* right. (*) They censored it, probably because it's a taboo topic.
---to is quite a symbol.
RUKI: But, in this world touching this kind of scene has been like a taboo. When I was writing it, I thought if it will be something bad if write about such things.
---There's no way it can be a bad thing. In Japan, originally freedom of speech and the implementation of the freedom are one major privileges provided for the whole nation.
RUKI: Well, how to say it? We don't know what people think when they listen to this, right? Even if there are people who will start talking about it, in that case, (I'll go) "Well, isn't it okay." I have been thinking about that too (laughs).
---It's possible to obtain agreement or approval of this subject from people who listen to this song, though. Like, "Right! I think the same!"
RUKI: Hmm. I think everyone don't think that they all have the same thought. If you see Japan's current situation, you can only think the same. For me, at least I want to open the third eye in various kinds of people.
---Somehow or other, the story seems to be connected to the lyrics in [THE SUICIDE CIRCUS]. In a sense that if one keeps thinking to swallow the news one got from other people, one might fail to notice an important truth.
RUKI: What's the problem in Japan nowadays? Things like that, too, won't one understand if one keeps thinking about such matter? I feel that the important thing now is to properly grasp the reality more than anything. Thereby, the so-called "hereafter" will change. A soothing song or a cheering song are okay, too, but from now on I think I want to express the reality that we can't turn away from in my work.

“And the heart, unscrolled,
is comforted by such small things:
a cup of green...”
