I am terribly late putting this link here, but I hope maybe some of you might find it useful anyway!


Aoi was featured in Rock & Read vol 51!

If you just want to see the pics you can visit sweetlolixo's tumblr here and here.

If you want to download really good scans and also read the interview (personally I can only look at it longingly, wishing for the day I can actually read it), visit mittilla here where she's put up links to the scans.

Don't forget to like their posts (click the little heart), or tell them they're awesome for sharing with us! It takes so much time to scan stuff like this. :D

Aoi turned 34 today!!! :D I'd like to wish our beloved guitarist a happy birthday and a great year to come! He's seemed to be a bit down lately, tweeting that he's only heard sad things so far this year... I hope his friends have cheered him up with greetings and presents!

Let's celebrate him here too! Even though he (hopefully!) never will see it! LOL



( Pic spam under the cut! )

If anyone had any doubts that Aoi is single, he's just proven it to us again:

‏@official_aoi

代官山を歩くカッポーがどいつもこいつも爽やか過ぎて辛い…。


Translation by もう一度:
@mou_ichido

@official_aoi All the couples walking around Daikanyama are so lovey dovey, it's annoying...


*grin* Poor Aoi. Married to his guitars, and his drinking buddies. :D

Oh, Aoi! :) An hour ago he tweeted this:

aoi ‏ @official_aoi
こうかな？ http://moby.to/8no7ah

Apparently, he realised he can record stuff on his iPhone, upload it to the interwebs, and then tweet the link. LOL So, here you go, Aoi sharing a moment of random guitar playing with his followers!

Any bets on whether he was smoking while doing this? 8)´

Here's a download link, courtesy of defectivecoma: Download

Sometimes the camera catches more than is perhaps intended... and sometimes it's very much intended and for the fans' enjoyment. Can you spot the common theme for these pictures? *g* Yes, it's focused on the centre of their... beauty.

Oh, and if you have some examples of your own that would fit in, feel free to post in comments, or in a new post. :)

So, this is image-heavy I will say, and will introduce us thoroughly to the GazettE members and ... members. ;) Enjoy!

Aoi is always inspiring me to work harder at learning Japanese. I'd love to understand his tweets without the help of the awesome people at gazetweet_eng. They do an amazing job, but I'd still like to understand directly. *g* Anyway! Aoi makes me laugh a lot. Love his sense of humour.

From his tweets yesterday:
[[Aoi]] Right, reached the studio. Today I intend to play tones more romantic than even the Milky Way.

[[Aoi]] I sent several wallpapers to all the people with bon:cra-z and I’m glad they responded favourably. I’m preparing for the chance to let the fans have them too. Yes. (´¥_¥`)

[[Aoi]] OK! I’ll leave it that way! RT Please let it be free of charge (´∵`)

[[Aoi]] But provided the girls wear bikinis and the boys wear boomerangs please （*´σｰ｀） Also, I know nothing about this if the policeman calls ┏○)) bows

Oh, Aoi. LMAO! Boomerangs? Aoi wants to see that the boys are happy to see him? ;)

( More Aoi strangeness )

I think he's worrying a little too, about the upcoming 7 Days event. He might be in trouble...

[[Aoi]] I can’t memorize the lyrics… . My story looks ready to collapse. ＿|￣|○

Awww, poor Aoi. I have a feeling he'll be very happy when this is over and he can hand the microphone over to Ruki permanently. ;)

Hey, sorry for the long absence!

So, news about Aoi?

He's been persuaded to get an iPhone! So now he, too, is using an abundance of adorable emoticons. He wasn't very hard to convince, as I saw from his tweets.

うふっ。RT @SatoyanMusic: @Aoi_theGazettE 君もiPhoneゲットだな。(笑)

[[Aoi]] ufuu. RT @ SatoyanMusic @ Aoi_theGazettE You might as well get an iPhone too. (laughs)

そもそも携帯→スマホに変更する時SDカードが読み込まないってのがおかしかったもんなー。でももうiPhoneにしたからいっか。家が全部Macなのに携帯だけ違うってのがそもそもなのかも。（:.;ﾟ;Д;ﾟ;.:）ﾊｧﾊｧ

[[Aoi]] When I changed the phone→Smartphone, the fact that it won’t load the SD card was strange to begin with. But will it be better to go for an iPhone already? I think, with everything in my house a Mac, just the phone being different is also something to start considering. （:.;ﾟ;Д;ﾟ;.:）ﾊｧﾊｧ

and the next tweets from Aoi?

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*



iPhoneの3G回線が使えなかったんだがdocomoに電話したら教えてくれた。サンクス！

[[Aoi]] I wasn’t being able to use iPhone’s 3G line so I called up docomo and they gave me instructions about it. Thanks!

He'd bought one! LOL

Also, as of yesterday, Aoi's hair is no longer pink! I have to admit that I am a little sad about this fact. It was cool! Even if it seemed to be difficult to keep the intense colour and to get it look right in photos. He hasn't said what his hair colour is yet... I have a feeling there will be more info later.

Because, as usual, the Internet is practically dead on weekends, it's time! Do you know what it's time for? No? Well, let me tell you then. It's time for:

The Battle of the Bendy Boys. Part 2.



We have reached the second half of the concert, and Uruha is warming up.

In honour of the "Three Weeks for Dreamwidth" celebration going on with the goal to increase the level of content and things happening on this site, I've made a silly little photo trip for your amusement.

I also wanted to make some kind of fan tribute to the incredible bendyness of some of the guys in the GazettE. And I know there are others who are rather fascinated as well. *waves to imma* So, also as a little "Welcome to the GazettE fandom, Imma, now you'll never escape its clutches" message, I give you:

The Battle of the Bendy Boys. Part 1.



Yes, let's listen to Ruki and check out Aoi! ( See the Amazing Bendy Battle under the cut )
