Lol I dont really know but what I do know is that this is where the chocolate Maltesers came from. Back when Maltesers where invented, it was mostly Maltese people working in the chocolate factory so they decided to name it after us.

I found this translation on LJ:

Ruki:
- Music Style: He says he sings suiting the song, so if it was a soft song, he'd match vocals to that.
- Gazette Clothes: He claims he doesn't really care about what style it is, but then states what kind of pants and jacket he likes to wear. And then Uruha was like "You do care then?!"
He likes to wear the colors black, gold, red, and wine red.
- Normal/Everyday Clothes: He has a ton of black in his wardrobe. Mainly that's the only color he wears. XD
And some red, but all the other colors he has are weird so he doesn't really wear them. And he likes bowling shirts too. He also doesn't like clothes that are baggy, and maybe a bit more fitting (?)
He really doesn't like wearing brands that are popular, that a lot of people wear. He likes unique brands, and if it's a brand he likes, then he'll wear it (he didn't specify the brand though).
- Housing: He's really choosy about about his room. He likes to decorate it a lot. Right now, he has Andy Warhol posters (also stated in the journal). And he also mentioned that he does something to the lights, but I can't quite remember. But he gets really bored of his room, so he constantly changes it.


Uruha:
- Music Style: I think he said he doesn't really care about the style of it (following after what Reita said), and that he looks more into technique, and the use of the guitar.
- Gazette Clothes: *This is a secret (haha, not really, but you'll know how he really feels), but truthfully, showing leg is kind of ƒLƒcƒC. As in, it's kind of hard on him. And then, and then (okay, Uruhaxreita moment), Reita just has to butt in, and he goes "Then why don't you stop doing it?!" and then Uruha is like "But somewhere inside of me, I feel I have to." So there you go. He's not 100% crazy about showing leg off.
- Normal/Everyday Clothes: Okay, this is going to take a lot of explaining, because Japan has a lot of "kei" going on, that even I didn't know so it required such a thing called google.
I forget whether it was actually him saying it, but he's ƒMƒƒƒ‹Œn (Gal kei)A‚¨ŒZŒn(Onii kei)Aƒ}ƒ‹ƒCŒn (Marui kei)BWell, that's what Ruki and Reita describe him as, because it's the kind of clothes he wears.
Aoi jokes and says he wears a brand called Mens Egg (although he claims that he doesn't have clothes from there). And Mens Egg is a brand/magazine, which features Onii kei, Gal kei. And Gal, in Japan, if you didn't know, is something like this:
Click Here for Gal
So when a guy is Gal kei, he's stylish, dark skinned, brown haired (usually), wears high brand clothing, and has a wild appearance.
Here's some Mens Egg:
Mens Egg clothing
But everyone agrees that Uruha is Marui kei, which falls under the same category-ish, and this is a list of brands that fall under Marui kei:
Marui Kei Brands
If you look, there might be a lot of brands you notice if you like the lolita style. That's because Marui kei is stylish, and well, if you thought the way close minded people do, it would also be stereotypically gay. Which gets me kind of angry, but I don't really want to get into that right now. Besides, Uruha is not gay.
And Ruki said "Uruha really cares about what's in/following the trend," and then Uruha said "Don't talk like you know anything" XD They kid of course.
Housing: Okay, I think Uruha and Reita living together was temporary, because they live seperately now. *tear* Uruha is living on his own now, and if I remember correctly, he said that he doesn't really clean his house, because it's too much hassle. I can't specifically remember this part, but that's about it.


Aoi:
- Music Style: He really doesn't like relying on technique, and he'll try to avoid it if un-necessary. He thinks what guitar he chooses is also important. The style, and color. Brand he doesn't really care about, but if it's a brand he likes, then he might go towards that. The color he most likes for guitars is black, but anything that glistens well in stage light.
- Gazette Clothes: He doesn't care. As long as it's ƒqƒ‰ƒqƒ‰, meaning things that dangle and are all swishy (okay, that's the best I can translate it to). He says it helps make his actions on stage look more grand. XD I love Aoi.
- Normal/Everyday Clothes: He doesn't really go shopping for clothes either. And then Ruki and Reita were like "Are you sure?!" and then he explains that he doesn't need to. Meaning his fans just provide him with clothes. So whatever his fans thinks of his style, it becomes his style because he wears it. And when he wears it, Ruki explains he looks ƒ`ƒ“ƒsƒ‰Œn (Chinpira kei), meaning basically punk, hooligan, or juvenile delinquient. XD Man, I love Aoi-san.
- Housing: He doesn't like to leave a lot of things around the house. Only things he finds he really needs. Other than that, he won't really put them in his room.
Which leaves me to think (referring to above with the not liking to use technique unless necessary) he's the type to not need things unless he really needs it.


Reita:
- Music Style: He says he doesn't care about the bass. As long as it has four strings, it's fine. And he says he wants to become the kind of person that even if he holds a bass that doesn't suit him, it won't matter when he plays it on stage. Like, he'll make it work for him.
And he also states that sometimes you just have to work with what you have.
- Gazette Clothing: He says he can't help it that he always chooses the same kind of clothes. The sleeveless, the pants. Even if he tries to change it, it won't suit him, and he just keeps wearing the same style. But it's what he likes, so he doesn't want to forcefully change it.
- Normal/Everyday Clothing: He says he doesn't really care much what he wears. He just likes black a lot. There was this funny scene where the interviewer says "You and Ruki are quite similar," and then Ruki and Reita both go "Please don't compare us," and then Ruki says "Well, we do shop in the same stores though."
So I guess Reita likes Ruki wear too. But then Uruha tries to go into the conversation and goes "I don't really care what I wear either," and then Reita goes "What are you saying?!" (Yay, regained for uruxrei).
- Housing: Yeah, he lives on his own now. And Aoi's like "Yeah, and you go and buy yourself a designer's mansion." But a mansion in Japan is equivalent to a apartment in the US.
And he says he hasn't really done anything to the place, but he wants to paint it black on some walls, and white on the others.


Kai:
- Music Style: He says that snare is life, meaning it's really important to him. He tries to make sure he does well and doesn't mess up, because then the fault will be on him. So he does what he can in the back, to make the front four members look good.
- Gazette Clothes: He says that when the person making the clothes makes his, the guy always goes "Everybody else's is like that, but yours is like this . . . is that okay?"
This meaning that Kai doesn't like a lot of flashy, or elegant clothes. He says it just doesn't suit him. So he just goes in the boring clothes direction, but it suits him, so he likes it.
- Normal/Everyday Clothes: He says that even though his Gazette clothes isn't that great as the other, he likes to be stylish in his normal wear. He doesn't like a lot of baggy clothes either. And Aoi said that you take the same clothes, and if he wore it, it'd look Chinpira kei (explained above), if Uruha wore it, it'd look Marui kei (explained above), but if Kai wore it, it'd look like he was poor, or shabby. And then Ruki said it'd be sort of like "Is that your moms?" XDDDDD
- Housing: He currently lives with his parents in his birth-home. X3
He says that he'd like to live on his own soon.

so I'm just wondering. What's Gal kei, Onii Kei, and Marui Kei?

so I'm just wondering. What's Gal kei, Onii Kei, and Marui Kei?

BAsically, it's just what you have posted. gal kei is stylish, dark skinned, brown haired (usually), wears high brand clothing, and has a wild appearance. this is the link to the picture(but it's a woman :sweat: )http://www.wanboo.jp/image/contact.jpg

Marui kei is all about stylish and gayish type of clothing(Don't balme me just, saying the truth :puppydog: )

Onii-kei (means elder brother style), dress in white tailored jackets, low-necked tank tops, designer jeans, and pointed leather shoes. Onii-kei style is known in Japanese as Ame-kaji (American casual) and Ita-kaji (Italian casual) with a hint of rock-star style for a more glamorous, sexy look. Also, Onii-kei, often complement their look with a teased shag haircut known as ewolf hairf.

*imagining Uruha as Gal kei-->O.o)))*

and for some reason, after reading Aoi's little segment, I'm imagining him going out in the morning and picking up boxes outside his door and opening them saying "Ooh! This is pretty! Let's wear it today!" TT^TT reminds me of a hobo......

....eh. They're all dorks. Not very good at keeping their first thought ne?

Well I like Aoi a lot, and I tend to have a lot in common with him; especially about the clothes thing. I DONT go shopping unless its for accessories. The only clothes I wear are the ones I get from modelling jobs, family, friends or the stuff I choose out of the books of my dad's stores(he is managing director of Billabong surfware and sportsware in this country) So that he can pre-order the stuff I like so that if they dont order them for here then at least I can get them. But I never do any shopping uness I'm looking for bracelets, necklaces and so on.

So what Aoi does isnt really out of this world I suppose, he just doesnt like shopping so much and the guy probably gets enough from his fans that he's got so much that he doesnt need to do more shopping, especially if he likes the clothes he gets from fans.

I heard from somewhere that Kai-san can actually play the guitar. Does anyone know anything about it?

kawaineko-chan wrote:I heard from somewhere that Kai-san can actually play the guitar. Does anyone know anything about it?

Well I dont know much about it, but I heard that somewhere along the line Kai played temporarily for another band before the gazettE so maybe he played guitar back then? And on one backstage clip I once saw, he was handling a guitar so maybe he does play the guitar? And surprisingly, Ruki used to play drums so what instrument they played, doesnt really surprise me anymore at all, cos Ruki going from drums to vocals is big too.

well, I remember I read one of his journals, and he said his guitar had a scratch and he started ranting about it....so it would seem he has a guitar and knows how to play it....
