[TRANSLATION] club-Zy: Long interview special edition | All 4 parts serialization: Aoi (the GazettE) | Part 4

Part 4: Started guitar during elementary school. At the 10th year anniversary, [Wanted to quit the GazettE]

-- In the previous part was Aoi-san’s chance at starting (to play) guitar. And next I’d like you to look back as the GazettE’s (member) about the 10th anniversary. Back then, did you start playing guitar under the influence of your brother who had been in high school?
Aoi: That’s right. I was an elementary school student at that time, and I found the figure of my brother playing guitar so admirable. There were also a lot of guitar heroes (that I admired) from abroad. Until the time I started becoming a part of a band, I thought the future I wanted the most was to be a guitarist. Even now it’s still the same way abroad, but in Japan it’s the vocalist (that takes up more attention). That’s why, at the moment, I’m thinking “What happened??”

-- While reading a past interview, I was thinking, “I want to listen to the intro of X JAPAN’s [Kurenai]!”
Aoi: When I was in 1st grade, I liked hide-san, so much so that I practiced desperately. I wanted a guitar so much, but I couldn’t exactly ask my parents (to buy me one). So I would wake up at 4 a.m. and work at the nearby newspaper stand as a delivery boy. (I was living in) a rural area, so there wasn’t even a game center anywhere around the house. Before I began playing guitar, from the moment school was over I would go to the beach to swim and stuff. But as soon as I got my hands on a guitar, I would spend every single day playing it. At that time, I probably played most often.

-- When did you form a band?
Aoi: I had never really properly formed a band, but when I was in 3rd grade in junior high, or maybe 1st grade in high school, I and a senior performed ZIGGY’s [GLORIA] at the school festival in the gymnasium.

-- Ah, that song was popular back then, huh. It was a drama’s theme song or some sort.
Aoi: Yep. By the time I graduated junior high, I had wanted to enter a vocational school instead of high school, but I wasn’t allowed to, so I reluctantly entered high school. No one was playing music back then, so I stopped playing guitar and did nothing else but surfing instead.

-- Surfing??
Aoi: Yeah. And then I quit high school. While I was doing nothing, one time late at night in a local Tokai area TV program, there was a band from Nagoya that was doing an introduction of themselves; (I felt) really gloomy. It came to the point (where I thought), “Why couldn’t I be that skilful as well!!” And so I told my father, “I’m going to Tokyo”, and then I got up and left.

-- The talk escalated so quickly (to want to go to Tokyo), the scene is almost like Yawaza Eikichi-san.
Aoi: I was 20 years old. I brought my guitar and a sports bag with my clothes stuffed into it. I came to Tokyo. I did a part time job at Chinzan-so (a hotel in Tokyo metropolitan area). There was a recording company nearby, but since their image was nothing but enka, I thought impertinently, “I’m definitely not going to get into that company!” (LOL)

-- (LOL). You’re probably much indebted. (LOL)
Aoi: Yeah. The moment I was in a band with our previous drummer, I met RUKI and the others. His band hadn’t had any drummer from the beginning, so at first only the drummer was asked to join. But then, just when I was thinking of what I should do, RUKI said, “We also need a guitarist, how about it?” and invited me as well. At the same time, Jinxxxx Raxxo was also recruiting and I had already sent an application. If the GazettE hadn’t existed I might have been a member in Jinxxxx Raxxo instead (LOL).

-- Ooh. I’m surprised to hear that. But I’m glad the 5 of you met. And then, starting from Meguro-Rokumeikan to Tokyo Budoukan, and then to Tokyo Dome, connecting the memories, you’ve reached your 10th anniversary this year in March, right? Looking back, what is the most memorable thing you keep in your heart?
Aoi: The truth is, before the live at Makuhari (Messe), I was thinking about quitting the GazettE. It’s because I thought I wouldn’t be able to continue (being in) the band until the relationship between these 5 guys collapsed. I didn’t want to come to the point where I was overdoing it. But then, as I stepped onto the stage, the moment I saw the faces of 20,000 fans, I instantly thought, I couldn’t possibly betray those kids. If I quit, I would snatch away the GazettE from them. So then we played “Shunsetsu no Koro” in that live, that was ended with the scene of me gathered with REITA, RUKI, and Uruha in the center of the stage.

-- Yes. In the midst of white and pink confetti fluttering about, the 4 of you stood up on the pedestal. Behind Kai there was the GazettE’s logo shining in gold.
Aoi: Yes. (At first) I didn’t want to do that, gathering up on the front like that. It’s because I thought it was superficial, and because I couldn’t mend only the surface.

-- When it was time for everyone to say some words, Aoi-san said, “With these 4 guys and me, the GazettE exists. Because everyone is there (with us), the GazettE that you like exists. I’m so moved that I can’t even say thank you (enough) to everyone”… and then tears flowed from your eyes, and you looked so deeply emotional.
Aoi: I think there’s no other band that is worth as much as the GazettE. That’s why I can’t betray all the people who have been supporting us.

-- Now that you’ve passed your 10th anniversary, is it okay to say that the bond between you guys will only get deeper? And then what do the 5 of you wish to accomplish from now on?
Aoi: I’d like (for us) to create another production. “DIVISION” was born from “TOXIC”. I’m aiming for something that surpasses (all of those).

Part 3: The "Ibitsu" that was born in the band. [Made of the perfect balance]
―― Previously, we explored what you had in mind about doing a solo project...... but in the position of the GazettE's Aoi, how do you perceive yourself?
Aoi: Even while I'm in the middle of the so-called members, I feel like...... it's judged by how much influence we have. I'm also a member, but regarding the GazettE, I keep thinking whether I can make my contribution or not.

―― Of course, it's judged by your influence right. Aoi-san is the oldest and, also when we have an interview 4 years ago for the first time, among the five people, more often than the others you looked at the circumstance, saw us all objectively, and with you I felt like I could talk. However, I feel like the way of the conversation right now, so far, is more interesting. To continue the band for a long time, Ibitsu was to be born; in other cases, other musicians would have been doing solo projects already, right. But, concerning the related party – the GazettE, that is– I think you don’t want the project to become like the GazettE.
Aoi: I think it’s not about to put an emphasis to someone's opinion. It’s the band's. Right now, because the stuff that RUKI produced became an axis, RUKI’s speech is so strong, so it's becoming like...... these 4 men create something from what RUKI has in his mind. That was the GazettE continuance, it was important to preserve the world view as a musician, but, I think there's a small part where we've come to an actual state where we could not listen to the opinions from the outside.

――Ah, isn't Aoi-san who has been judging it from influence up until now? Because, we've also talked a while ago, I thought we could see ourselves objectively but it turned out we couldn't. I wonder if that isn't Aoi-san's role. Although I'm thinking about the band's assets, in this matter.
Aoi: Yeah. However even if there are people who can judge objectively, you still have to ask, right?

―― With the exception of RUKI-san, don't any of you have anything to say (in regards of the band)?
Aoi: Well, you see. RUKI together with Uruha were getting stronger in the matter of making songs. They had various experience beforehand, and they have acquired self confidence so that they could state their opinions (freely). But, because Uruha also won’t listen to other's opinion, he has the good part of possessing the power to persist, and he also has the bad part of having his own way. Because; with Reita and Kai, I was getting along with the 2 people. Well, since I don't have the confidence to assert my opinion, and since I kept hesitating, when someone stated something definite to me, I was the person to follow, to agree with anyone, but, it was important to follow, out of it, there were times when I couldn’t let out my own sound… … Really, it's made of the perfect balance.

―― So in this production, there had been various conflicts, right. Alright, this is a completely different topic, but a reward! to yourself who had worked hard; was there anything?
Aoi: A reward?? I wonder what. Maybe the two guitars I ordered for myself. They will be done sometimes in autumn, I’m really looking forward to it.

――I don’t know when, but in the future, when you debut as solo musician, you will also make a song. We’re also looking forward to it.

Part 2: From the desire to want to pursue his sound, a view to the future solo career?!
-- To start this second part, please tell us about a challenge you faced during the production of this album.
Aoi: It's a…… continuation, so there wasn't much change.

-- That ended up quickly (lol). Well then, what did Aoi-san want to express (in this album)?
Aoi: I thought a lot about wanting to change the sound. Up until now we haven't released anything like that. For [DIVISION] and [TOXIC], there was a similar coordination and shape regarding the source of sound, but as for myself, looking back, it didn't seem like a stimulating thing. There was conflict against what I wanted to express.

-- Conflict, you say……
Aoi: Yes. There's also the idea of wanting to work to deepen the GazettE's music even more. I'm thankful (for this), but along with the production of the album, we were constantly on tour, participating in events, being very busy. Speaking of the GazettE, I wonder if we're not blessed with such thing as leisure in pursuing our music. Back then I always thought that each of our sounds stood out, our individual figures, young as we were, there hadn't been any coordination. But starting from [STACKED RUBBISH] (album, on sale since July 2007) until [DIM] (album, on sale since July 2009), we began to form our "union" and create music with great care. To be perfectly united is important, but I think I would like to still be able to let out each individual's essences.

-- When it comes to the GazettE, is it hard to let that out?
Aoi: When I was a kid, while I was playing guitar or listening to music, the face of the artist (I was copying) floated into my mind. That kind of thing is hard when it comes to the GazettE. More than individually, maybe something like the outlook of world of an artist is more important.

-- Then, isn't it possible to do a solo career side-by-side with the activity of the band, to be able to express what you wanted?
Aoi: Hmー. Maybe when the time comes.

-- The parts that you feel difficult (being done) in a band, you can do them in a solo (project), right. About this solo (project), what kind of image do you have in mind?
Aoi: I've been thinking what it would be like to have a female vocal. I've been listening to RUKI's voice all along, it makes me want to try (doing a song) for a woman's voice tone. Well this is just one thing (among others).

-- Last summer, in the event that your company held, you formed a (session) band called [bon:cra-z] with Alice Nine's Hiroto and other guys, and you sang hide-san's songs. It was surprising to see you take the role of the vocals and also guitar.
Aoi: Ah. Yes I did. I didn't really want to sing myself. Because of the form of what we had to do, I sing because it's necessary to... that sort of stance. When it's just for fun I can do whatever I want, but when thinking about solo (career) in commercial term, there are so many regulations.

-- I see. Do you talk about this kind of feelings with fellow members in the GazettE? I feel that perhaps the five of you, respectively, have the idea of doing solo (projects) in your minds.
Aoi: We did have that sort of talk for a bit. In the GazettE, (sometimes) the music that I'm thinking cannot be understood (by the others), but I think it's not time yet for me to be by myself.

Part 1: [DIVISION], the album that was born at the 10th anniversary of the GazettE’s formation

-- The new album [DIVISION] was on sale starting from August 29th. The previous work, [TOXIC], was (released) only 10 months before this. The method also came as a surprise, where all the compiled songs (in total of 14 songs for the first time, whereas usually only 12 songs) were new songs. Firstly, please tell us starting from the motivation of this production.
Aoi: the GazettE had our 10th anniversary March this year. The idea came from RUKI, where (he said) we should release something in accordance with our 10th anniversary. What would become of the album was not determined yet at the onset, but at the end of last year up to the beginning of this year we had another discussion, and the image hardened into ‘let’s continue the flow of the previous album, [TOXIC]’… sort of feeling.

-- In Aoi’s thought, was there a part of you that wanted to create this kind of image and the likes for this album?
Aoi: That’s right. Because this time we are marking our 10th, I was thinking I had to freely let out something that I didn’t have within me, the music that was born from inside of me. In LIVES, recently, more than just as the so-called the GazettE’s Aoi, I’m thinking of standing there on stage as myself.

-- The album’s Limited Edition has 2 discs, the first disc is the [Rock Side] and the second is [Digital Side]. Being varied into those categories, it’s really interesting that you’ve revealed this kind of overview. I was surprised to find that the orders of the songs in the Limited Edition and Regular Edition were different. How attentive!
Aoi: We changed the orders of the songs in the Limited and Regular Edition to make the flow nice, that’s the idea. When we put the songs that were divided into two discs in the Limited Edition into the Regular Edition’s single disc, we thought about changing the order of the songs.

-- Which song has the greatest emotional attachment to you?
Aoi: It’s [Ibitsu]. It describes about greed among other things, the truth about human being. It’s kind of like mud.

-- [Ibitsu]’s PV is included in the Limited Edition’s DVD. How did the shooting process go?
Aoi: We shot the video in a film studio, but the main focus is a monochrome performance scene. The shooting was exhausting because we pushed ourselves to the end.

-- Coming here despite being tired, I notice the gloomy look on your face (lol).
Aoi: Right.

The second part will be uploaded at club-Zy’s site at September 12th. We hope you will be looking forward for it.

Kamijo [Versailles] - Important Announcement On Copyright

 

 

Kamijo published a translated message to his fans to exhort them to not break copyrights which protects special contents of Versailles' websites. 

Kamijo himself, as well as the whole band, reserve some interviews, photos, behind the scenes for who buys an account on their official sites. Unfortunately some have been published in other parts of Internet by the same users several times. For this reason Kamijo shared this message in English:

REASON

I’ve received lots of messages about my “Onegai (Please do me a
 favor)” text. Many thanks.

Did I sound a bit too harsh?
 No, I didn’t mean to be harsh at all.
 But I’ve come to realize that my explanation was insufficient and that
 I have to explain it fully for you to understand what I mean.
 First of all, I always thank all of you and street teams in every
 country who continuously support us by rendering our info and news
 into your languages and by posting them on your websites and/or blogs.
 That really helps spread my band and our info to the world, which is
 nothing but wonderful! I really appreciate that a lot! 
 m(k)m
 The main reason why I decided to post the “Onegai” text is that I got
 a message saying, “I’m going to translate the column in ____ magazine,
 put it on my website and spread it to the world.” It’s great that the
 person wants to spread us to the world. But there’s a big problem. All
 the interviews/texts/info appear in any magazine belong to its
 publisher and they are called “copyrighted work.” If you translate any
 copyrighted work without the publisher’s permission, it’s called a
 “breach of copyright.” As you know, it’s against the law. I just
 couldn’t let it pass because I knew one of our great fans was about to
 do something illegal. Those publishers run our interviews and info in
 their magazines just because they support us as much as all of you
 fans out there do. We are all in the same family circle of Versailles
 and we care them and you fans equally. So please ask the publisher for
 permission first before you start working on the translation.

I’m writing what I wanted to say in my “Onegai” text here again to
 make it clear:Please do not reprint, translate or post all the copyrighted work
 belongs to our management, record company, and band such as music,
 visuals, photographs, website contents, pictures in our CD artworks
 and photo collection books.

What is free to reprint, translate and post is promotional photos/info
 on our official website, texts in our blogs open to public in addition
 to my tweets and photos on my twitter and facebook. You are absolutely
 welcome to utilize them on your websites or blogs. Feel free to do
 whatever you think is good for us.

Closed info and our website
 contents exclusively for registered fan club members are not included.
 And please remember, all the translated texts and info about us
 rendered by our fans are personal interpretation of the translator.
 Both translators and readers, please keep that in mind.
 Regarding all the copyrighted work such as magazine contents, I leave
 a decision up to the magazine publishers. So please contact them
 first.

Regarding the texts and info for KAMIJO World members only, reprint
 and translation are basically prohibited. If you are a KAMIJO World
 member and if you want to translate for other members who don’t read
 Japanese, please post the translated text on comment space. It’s a
 good suggestion from some members and I think it works well in this
 case. I hope to create our ideal world together with all of you by
 exchanging good ideas and express things honestly. Thank you!

  KAMIJO

As you see this is the reality of the situation

Arguments with an endless discharge of speckles

Safe in Buddha’s protection

Tonight too will be consumed in despair

Get on board with the half-crazed rhythm

Arguments with an endless discharge of speckles

If we can’t go back

like ignorant children

Morals got bent before anyone noticed it

Paradise resembling hell

If we tear off all restrictions and eat the taboos

will the earth change into heaven?

Product of the necessary evil…

Note:

 you have no idea how hard this was to translate.

basically it’s about how media takes bits and pieces and mixes them together to create chaos and despair that we (the viewers, the third party) eat up happily and don’t even care that it’s not truth and that the information we get is filled things that don’t even make sense but we don’t care because that’s how it is. and if we closed our eyes and used our “third eye”, common sense, we’d see how things really are.

the chrysalis remain in a winged cage

the setting sun dyes the depression which again is left behind by a throat

whenever the deep red heart beats

there is a murder case in the night of a late autumn fall

I feel a thing once again, which I haven´t realized the sense of it at that time

absent mindedly I swim in your eyes that still don´t disappear

I kept on to lament deeply at night even if there is no permission

There is a nest of unfeeling desire here

a not desired Goodbye that isn´t spoken ambiguously

Until the memory is back here, don´t die

From now till tomorrow the nature of enclosure scatters without being able to find it

I only follow the lingering scent

inside the cage there is a person wandering around...

Don´t disappear (my dear)

I depend on your existence

影踏み (Kage fumi)

Kawaita ashioto hada o somete ku gekkou

Tsumetai anata no te

Hagarenu you ni hiketa akatsuki ni

Sono tamerai o sutete kureru?

Asu wo shinjite yukeru imi wo motome

Doko ka de kowarete shimatta

Nanimo kamo ga yugande mieta

Nee mada warae teru?

Dakishimete ite wasurenu you ni

Koe mo itsuka todokanaku naru

Mai chiru ame ni kieiri sou na

Futari no ashioto ga kasanari

Togireru made

Tsuyoku te o nigitte

Ima wa sore dakede ii

Sore ga anata wo shinjite yuku yuiitsu no hikari de

Dakishimete ite wasurenu you ni

Koe mo itsuka todokanaku naru

Mai chiru ame ni kasa mo sasenai

Sonna jibun ga kanashii

Ai shite ite ne

Konnani moroku natte shimatta kokoro mo

Hikari o mitsume ochite yuku futari

Yatto kasanatta

Anata no kage to

Wasurenaidene kore ga owari janai koto

TRANSLATION

Dried footsteps, moonlight that colors our skin

Your cold hand

Could you abandon that hesitation at the breaking dawn

so I won’t be deprived of you?

Seek for the reason in being able to keep on believing in tomorrow

Something in you has broken

Everything seems to be distorted

Hey, are you still able to smile?

Keep on holding me close

So I won’t forget

Someday even my voice won’t reach you

The footsteps of the two of us seem like they will disappear in this fluttering rain,

they overlap each other until they pause

Grasp my hand tightly

Right now that alone is enough

It’s the only light that keeps me believing in you

Keep on holding me close

So I won’t forget

Someday even my voice won’t reach you

I won’t even raise an umbrella in this fluttering rain,

I’m sad like that

Keep on loving me

Even this heart that ended up so fragile

The two of us fall while gazing at the light

I’m finally overlapping

with your shadow

Do not forget

That this is not the end

note:

 i’m not sure how clear the lyrics are in english, but basically it’s about dating someone who’s mentally ill. and idk this might be just me but it seems like the other person has difficulties with his/her partner’s illness even though he/she wants to keep them safe and wants them to get well. and in the end it seems like—- he kinda snapped two and now they are both broken. how sweet.

TRANSLATION

Where does the distortion continue?

Do you take me away?

I close my eyes to the meaningless engraving of time

Staring at my fruitless primal instincts

The five senses I yearned for are sipping honey

treating pain and pleasure like discarded husks

Led by an overly-vibrant ideal, I crumbled into a sea of rubble

Realizing that I was the one tumbling over

drowning in desire I cannot return

Looking up I remembered the time when I was fulfilled

the skies became cloudy and impure

Even a flower that bloomed in rubble will one day wither

If I take my eyes off, it will one day disappear

The distorting scenery is laughing at me

A future still unseen, what is over there is just the mere shadow of what was "creation"?

I am unable to do anything as I stay degenerated

Swimming in this deformed reality

Going with the flow and imitating others

Do you see the impure skies clearing?

Led by an overly-vibrant ideal, I crumbled into a sea of rubble

This thought reflected in my eyes is untouchable

Without realizing it, my heart was already drenched by contradictions

If I take my eyes off, it will one day disappear

Even this mere fragment of "imagination" remaining will eventually fall into nothingness

Time is running out

as everything stays distorted...

A future still unseen, what is over there is just the mere shadow of what was "creation"?

Or are they the contradictions in me?

TRANSLATION

Lingering Memory

The end of dreams

Rotten,

Until not even a slight voice gets through

A scene where falsehood is unending

And even lingering memories blur

This scene

Where longing drew a circle of words linked

This scene

In days passing by

A waning prayer, for the sea…

Beautiful light, a slight ugliness

This rain which melts into my skin

Slowly

Gently, deeply, as if inquiring

To the bottom of ideals

Yes, “Someday you’ll transform into wind”

I should have known

Beautiful light, a slight ugliness

Necrosis of emotions hastening in bare tacitness

This rain which melts into my skin

Slowly

Gently, deeply; at the bottom of ideals,

A pierced reality,

And sea of forfeit

Comprehending powerlessness,

Mourned that day

TRANSLATION

Loneliness drenched in red laughs

in silently dripping insanity

Impure eyes that forget to sleep

can’t even see tomorrow

Ideals swimming on the surface

are starting to sink bellow

Where are you looking with such a sad face?

The memories that won’t reach you

and were torn apart one by one

are red on the white walls

Your body temperature is being washed away

You keep staring (at me), forgetting to blink

The faint feeling of loss lingers

You didn’t have any doubts

It seems like you are going to forget

Even the pain and tears you have endured

Why are you looking at me with such a sad face?

I reach out my hand to you

The memories that were torn apart one by one

start to flow without a destination

Was I wrong?

Don’t watch me with sorrowful eyes

Teach it…

Where is the truth?

Let me hear your heart

I was alone and so

it was fine even if it was just lies

Be considerate of the weak me

who didn’t try to see anything

Your frozen face is cold

You are not even searching for a breath

I was supposed to be used to loneliness

so why are these tears falling?

I’m not smiling in the memories

that I’m starting to remember one by one

Just like thisYou and I will stay in solitude

note:

 so basically what we have here is apparently a girl with long history of depression etc. who killed herself in the bathroom. and at this point i suggest you go read bath room lyrics, because they are the same story from the girl’s point of view. this on the other hand is the person who (i’m guessing) found her after she killed herself (red on white walls = blood on bathroom walls). and like. that part with body temperature being washed away. i’m guessing she’s in a bath room. eyes that keep staring at him without blinking. she’s dead. he has the faint feeling of something being gone. she’s dead. and she did it to herself without hesitation.

and the he kinda reaches out to her but she’s already gone and he’s like fuck sorry i knew something was wrong but i’m so weak and so alone so i didn’t say anything but i guess this is how it works. they both will be alone forever. HAPPY END.
