I was shocked to find out about this. Unfortunately, former member Yune also passed away on December 28th, 2022 due to an unknown illness. May they both rest in peace. I'm wishing all the strength for his family, and friends including ofc fellow Gazette members. Losing a beloved person is never easy </3

Reading their responses makes me so sad, but I had to say, I giggled slightly whenever Aoi said he was going to give Reita a “stern talking to” when they meet again.

The Gazette will always be 5, I hope like Ruki said, Reita will join them in spirit at future shows.
