Hello friends! I’ve announced my first prompt of inktober! This was meant to be a major project I had planned since last December, but I never got around to it. So, I’ve decided to make it as a prompt.

I would suggest to take the time now to figure out what member and/or song is best fit for each tarot card.

ALL OTPs are acceptable

Have fun!

Honestly, as sad as I was (and still am a little bit) about mejibray, nothing can compare to seeing how much happier and healthier Koichi and Genki seem now. 8p-sb has all my support because nothing is better than seeing your favourite people living their best lives.

Uruha decides to measure everyone's heart rate (Radio Jack August 10 2018)

long time no see lmao

Reita: Yes hi hello this is Reita from the GazettE

Uruha: This is Uruha

Reita: So we are in the middle of a wildly successful tour right now

Uruha: Yes

Reita: How’s it going? At the moment we’ve only done two shows right, we just finished the two days in Misato 

Uruha: We did, yes

Reita: So how you feelin about it 

Uruha: Yes, well, it’s our first tour in a long time, and — the fuck are you smiling at 

(Reita chucklin)

Uruha: It’s our first hall tour in three years, so — yeah, it’s been fun. 

Reita: Yes, yes

Uruha: My muscles have gotten nicely sore

Reita: Ah you’re starting to hurt a bit?

Uruha: My neck you know

Reita: Ah your neck eh

Uruha: My neck is not having it 

Reita: But if you do like five shows it stops hurting so much no?

Uruha: …oh really?

Reita: What, does it hurt for you until the end?

Uruha: Oh good question, uhh, no I think around the end it doesn’t hurt that much, but for the first half it hurts the whole time.

Reita: Yo so, in the dressing room — so Uruha has this app that tells you your heart rate (laughs)

Uruha: Yes I do. (He sounds v enthusiastic)

Reita: So he measured all the members.

Uruha: (Reita laughing in background) Yeah, so around the day before a live, I was watching the morning news and they were saying like, “hey there’s this app,” and I was like “well damn I guess I’m going to have to measure all of the members now.” [w hy]

Reita: Yeah, yeah. But yo, we seem like we would be high right?

Uruha: Yeah yeah yeah, especially me you’d think I’d have the highest right?

Reita: Yeah! But you had the lowest…but then Ruki, like, the most low-key ones had the highest heart rate. Ruki and Aoi. They were both over 100

Uruha: Over 100

(Reita laughs very loud)

Uruha: Like fam ur gonna die

Reita: And then Kai was like 90 — like me, I was around 90 too, and Uruha was like what, 60?

(Uruha giggles)

Reita: Like to the point where you wonder if his heart is even beating…

Uruha: It’s cool to see it in numbers huh

Reita: Yeh

[wack-translations]

Uruha doesn't know what perfume he wears (Radio Jack August 10 2018)

Reita (reading mail): “I have a question for Uruha-san. At the album signing the other day, I learned that you wear Bottega perfume, but I wanna know which one it is so bad I can’t sleep at night. I’m sure all of the Uruha fans like me want to know so please tell us!”

Uruha: Oh yeah

Reita: Did someone ask you at the signing?

Uruha: They did, yeah. Like, “what perfume are you wearing?”

Reita: I don’t think a single person asked me.

Uruha: What?!

Reita: I just don’t come off as a perfume guy — you’re totally a perfume guy you know?

Uruha: I guess it’s cause I was wearing it?

Reita: Yeah, and you’re at the front — like, you’re the first person you know? [when they get their shit signed] So they smell it right away.

Uruha: Are you saying they asked me cause they were like, “damn this guy smells kinda nice?”

Reita: Lmao ye maybe. So anyway what is it?

Uruha: So this stuff…there’s a couple different kinds — there’s two or three kinds, and…which one is it?

Reita: Well don’t ask me (laughs)

Uruha: I don’t know how to read it…I just buy it by the look of it

Reita: That’s like buying a CD because of the jacket. Amazing. 

Uruha: No no (giggles) at first, I walked into the Bottega store, and someone was like, “hey smell this perfume,” and I smelled it and I was like “oh this is nice” and I just bought it, so I don’t know the name or anything

Reita: (laughs) Oh…

Uruha: And now I just buy the bottle that looks like it online

Reita: Oh, so you don’t know the name huh.

Uruha: I…I just can’t read it. It’s kinda hard.

Reita: Got it. So for the fans, just go look for the bottle that looks like something Uruha couldn’t read.

(Both laugh)

Uruha: So…what should I do?

Reita: About what?

Uruha: How should I tell them? (giggles) I don’t have it on me now or anything 

Reita: Okay so after this airs, on like August 10, put a picture of it on your blog.

Uruha: Okay

Reita: That blog u never update smh…

Uruha: (giggles) So once it airs and they hear this, I post it?

Ruki and Uruha heard fans talking shit (Radio Jack August 10 2018)

(the theme is trivia)

Reita (reading mail): “I wanna share this fact about the live house Takadanobaba Area. Idk about the gazette members but I think a lot of bangya don’t know this. The bathroom is right next to the dressing room, so the bandomen can hear everything u say in the bathroom. A bandoman told me, and he was laughing cause he’s heard people talking shit about him many times. So any bangyas using the Takadanobaba area bathroom, be careful.”

Uruha: Yep this is true.

Reita: It is!? You can hear?

Uruha: Yeah, I remember very well. Ruki and I heard what some fans were saying

Reita: Oh really?

Uruha: It was after a live, and they were like, “Ruki is so and so isn’t he?”

Reita: Oh damn

Uruha: And it wasn’t exactly nice things

(Reita laughs)

Uruha: Because it’s just like separated you know?

Reita: Yeah, with like a thick curtain

Uruha: So we were standing in front of it and listening really hard [he says they were listening with Dumbo ears goo d bye]

Radio Jack August 10 2018

there is a segment where people write in about things that the members have said that have really stuck with them, whether it was funny or inspirational or simply life-changing

someone wrote in about an interview in the past where the subject was something along the lines of “being free like a bird”

ruki said, “but are birds really free?”

to which uruha added, “yeah, they can’t even hold chopsticks.”

present-day uruha heard the mail and was like, “did I say that? I don’t remember.”

I think this is truly life-changing

[wack-translations]

Reita and Uruha talking about the old days aka 5 minutes of being confused and roasting each other (Radio Jack August 10 2018)

The theme is things the members have said that left an impression on u

Reita (reading mail): “I love what Ruki said in this interview from 2005. The question was, when did you decide that you were going to pursue music, and he said that it was when he met Uruha and Reita. I think all of you guys coming together was a miracle, but firstly I’m grateful for the miracle that Reita-san and Uruha-san met.”

Uruha: Aw.

Reita: Well this was from 2005, so it was quite a while ago. 

Uruha: Hmm.

Reita: But I guess he said that.

Uruha: Oh really?

Reita: Yeah — I mean, this is the first time I heard it

Uruha: Yeah, same… 

Reita:

Uruha:

Reita:

Uruha: Huh?

(Both giggle)

Uruha: So it was when we first met huh…when was that anyway?

Reita: Well it was when we made the band, no?

Uruha: Ummmmmmm…

Reita: I mean, you and I were the only ones from the other band — from our band before. And in Ruki’s band, there were three members.

Uruha: Mhm.

Reita: And like, you’d think he was getting along with his members, but for some reason the three of us came together.

Uruha: So at that time, Ruki — wait what was it?

Reita: Huh?

Uruha: What did he say?

Reita: (laughing) Wait what what 

Uruha: What did Ruki think at that time again?

Reita: He said that it was when he met us

Uruha: What was when he met us?

Reita: That he knew he wanted to pursue music.

Uruha: Right. But like, that was the time when we were the most messy, you know? Linking up with all kinds of other bands, talking about leaving members behind and stuff — I think that the fact that Ruki really thought that [about us], in the middle of all that is amazing.

Reita: Yeah it is ~

Uruha: It was a kind of uncertain time you know?

Reita: But we did come together real quick lol

Uruha: It was quick wasn’t it lol

Reita: Like we started meeting every day and stuff

Uruha: Did he not think like, what about the other members?

(Both giggle)

Uruha: We didn’t really know what was going on

Reita: Yeah for sure

Uruha: I mean, we were only two

Reita: Yeah, yeah, and they were three. So like, we should have been more ashamed [that they weren’t much of a band I think] and yet… 

Uruha: Yeah. And like, if Ruki was gonna join us, he should have properly like, left his other band — it’s like, break up with ur ex-girlfriend man. 

(Reita laughing)

Uruha: But he just kinda dragged it out. We were like, “so uh when are you gonna leave your other band?”

Reita: (laughing) That’s true eh

Uruha: Yeah ~

Reita: Well that brought us to where we are now ~

Uruha: Yeah~

Reita: Yeah~

Uruha:

Reita:

Uruha:

Reita:

Uruha: Wow you’re doing a bad job today

Reita: No, no, no — Uruha-kun u suck

Uruha: (laughing) What did I do!?

Reita: Your reactions have been so weak!

Uruha: No they’re not!

Reita: You must be tired from the lives ^^

Uruha: Well you’re not being very articulate today.

Reita: Stop lying!

Uruha: You’re not expanding on anything!

Reita: I’m not expanding pls

Uruha: You’re just throwing stuff around like an MC.

Reita: You’re joking right?

Uruha: Oh, I get it — you’ve gotten too used to MCing.

Reita: Okay, whatever u say. Let’s read one more.

(Uruha chuckling smugly)

Avatar Discourse (Radio Jack August 10 2018)

Reita (reading mail): “My friend from kindergarten and I like to share and recommend things that we like to each other. Sometimes we would even like the same girl. Reita-san and Uruha-san, have you guys also shared things you like with each other? The hot days keep coming so please take care of your health and do your best!”

Uruha: Hmm I wonder why you read this… [he already feels the troll coming ffs]

Reita: Oh you know, for example, sharing you know, movies, or games that you like.

Uruha: Mhm……yeah…..

Reita: But recently, our tastes are entirely different. (Laughs)

Uruha: Entirely different huh?

(Reita is laughing so fucking hard smh)

Uruha: Is that what this is about? You’re taking this opportunity? What are you doing

Reita: WELL YOU SEE, THE KINDS OF MOVIES YOU LIKE— (bursts out laughing again)

Uruha: HMM? 

Reita: URUHA-KUN… 

Uruha: What are you talking about? I have no idea. (laughing)

Reita: Well then (speaking super formal) have you viewed any motion pictures recently? 

Uruha: Nah I haven’t watched any movies lately

Reita: Okay then what’s the best movie you’ve ever seen? (Bursts out laughing) 

Uruha: No stfu ur just trying to make me say Avatar

(Reita laughing very hard)

Uruha: You want me to say Avatar, don’t you? I’ve seen other movies you know! I’ve seen movies that aren’t Avatar and stuff!

Reita: OKAY THEN WHAT’S A GOOD MOVIE OTHER THAN AVATAR

Uruha: THERE AREN’T ANY GOOD MOVIES OTHER THAN AVATAR

(Reita laughing so hard he almost sounds like Kai)

Uruha: No, no, no, wait wait wait — listen

Reita: (still laughing) Okay.

Uruha: You want me to say that Avatar is a good movie right?

Reita: Yes, yes, but —

Uruha: If I said anything else it wouldn’t be funny.

Reita: No, it wouldn’t. So, in your honor, let’s say Avatar is number one. So what’s number two?

Uruha: Okay first of all Avatar isn’t number one

Reita: Okay then other than Avatar

Uruha: I’m just saying it cause I have to

Reita: Okay but what other movie do you like

Uruha: No but like, I really haven’t seen anything recently.

Reita: It doesn’t have to be recent, what is the best movie you’ve ever seen besides Avatar?

Uruha: Well hold on just a second! You can’t just put me on the spot like that and expect me to come up with an answer!

Reita: (laughing) Put you on the spot?! Please you should be able to answer this

Uruha: Well if I haven’t felt in my heart like, “damn this is a good movie,” I’m not gonna be able to answer am I?

Reita: If you have a favorite movie, you have obviously felt it in your heart. 

Uruha: Okay well what’s yours then?

Reita: (Beats chest)

Uruha: What is it?

Reita: — Sorry what? Oh, me?

Uruha: Ye

Reita: Face Off.

Uruha: ………………….. (grunts in disappointment)

Reita: (laughing) What!? It’s true!

Uruha: Well that’s a pretty Sci-fi kinda movie, isn’t it?

Reita: Oh, cause they switch faces?

Uruha: Ye

Reita: Hmm well it’s not really so much sci-fi as —

Uruha: Ah action?

Reita: Yeah action, action.

Uruha: Oh, well in that case, ima answer Terminator 2.

Reita: (grunts in disappointment)

Uruha: Huh!? What’s wrong with that?!

Reita: No it’s fine.

(Both laugh)

Uruha: Is it like childish or something?

Reita: I mean I said Face Off (laughs) It’s just like, how long has time been stopped?

Uruha: You’re one to talk!

(Both of these movies are from the 90s I think)

[wack-translations]

more Avatar stuff (Radio Jack August 10 2018)

Reita: The types of movies you recommend are like, “Uruha World,” you know? 

Uruha: WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN

Reita: Like, you would almost think that you directed them yourself 

Uruha: HAHAHA

Reita: Okay what’s your favorite manga then?

Uruha: My favorite manga? My favorite manga…. 

Reita: Why are you taking this so seriously (laughs)

Uruha: Okay, I guess King.

Reita: Ahh okay, I see. A respectable one.

Uruha: It doesn’t seem like I wrote it?

Reita: No, it’s a good one.

Uruha: I just don’t get what constitutes a ‘respectable’ – ah, whatever, it’s just you

Reita: (laughing) No, no, it’s not just me, it’s all the members who think the movies you like [are fuckin weird lool]

Uruha: Y'all are like the only ones who have something against Avatar.

(both laugh)

Uruha: Lots of people have watched it you know

Reita: Yeah I mean, it was popular back in the day

Uruha: Excuse me back in the day?

Reita: Yes.

Uruha: 

Reita: Anyw–

Reita: Isn’t an Avatar 2 coming out?

Uruha: Apparently yeah.

Reita: Okay, well maybe I’ll watch that then.

Uruha: No. You have to watch 1.
