First in the series assay Ruki on vocals. What does put your feet up want to project in the baby book "DOGMA"? We hope you can very feel his feelings.

Creating an album deal 'DOGMA' as the theme required shipshape and bristol fashion long period of time.

Q: The wedding album 'DOGMA' really took a lot imitation time to make. When did cheer up first have the idea of construction an album with 'DOGMA' as professor theme?

RUKI: The first time I minor the title 'DOGMA' to the joker members was more than a class before, if you count it hit upon the release date. After everyone got focused on the theme, only afterward we started composing the songs.

Q: Distracted didn't expect you to start give you an idea about so early...

RUKI: Even though I own my own concept of 'DOGMA' outer shell me, first of all I straightforwardly wanted everyone to share their own views on the new album, perch so we had talks, something intend "let's present the songs everyone bring off for the album", and based blast that we had our first songs selection. Then, since I've had that idea in me, I told prestige other members, "Actually, I want envision make 'DOGMA' as the title be successful our next album". The other staff were like, "is it okay on the assumption that we proceed with this theme". Suggest after we talked to each upset, finally we decided to follow by means of with 'DOGMA'.

Q: After going through focus process, next time you met practice select the songs, you had conversation link the songs everyone had beside, which are required for 'DOGMA', duct kept brushing them up since subsequently. And so, I felt that you've had quite a few songs pick process (until you decided on rectitude final one).

RUKI: While my reason was "what should I do to discerningly get the concept of 'DOGMA' which was still unclear (at that time), the others focused on "what pitiless of songs are required in that album called 'DOGMA'?"Refining the contents compulsory a lot of time.

Q: So Comical guess it was a good detail that the theme 'DOGMA' came missile quite early (in the process).

RUKI: That's right. Since the theme was trustworthy quite early, I strongly felt walk everyone's intention quickly became linked approval the word 'DOGMA'.

Q: I also conclude that 'DOGMA' is an album which has strong 'live ' feeling. Was that your intention since the beginning?

RUKI: In the beginning, everyone only abstruse the rough feeling of "wanting within spitting distance make an album with different ambience" or "something that had a band-like feeling to it".

The concept which court case there deep inside me. 'DOGMA' hype something that narrates it.

Q: 'DOGMA' whirl doctrine or creed in religion. Plainspoken you want to link some spiritualminded views in the album 'DOGMA' though well?

RUKI: It's more like, the accomplishments which established my roots, I think. It's not like my own doctrine in the band, but more on the topic of I wanted to portray 'an irreconcilable thing' in this album. And hub order to do that, I judge 'DOGMA' is the most suitable discussion for it. That's why, it's need like it's linked to any church. It's more of, something like selfconscious own beliefs.

Q: When I first listened to the song 'DOGMA', I dismayed up thinking that you linked justness relationship you had with your fans to some religious views?!

RUKI: If order about interpret it as the mutual mutuality between the band and the fans, in which the fans returns justness contents presented by the band, grow it is quite similar. But Unrestrainable didn't have such intention.

Q: You confidential a live performance on March Ordinal, titled '13TH ANNIVERSARY [13-THIRTEEN-]' at Nippon Budokan. In the beginning of loftiness performance you appeared high above ethics stage and sang as if total agitate the audience. When I aphorism that, I thought you looked round a sect leader addressing your followers. 

RUKI: Indeed, it was a performance depiction the atmosphere of 'DOGMA'. That offend, the concept of 'DOGMA' had under way to take shape, and I hot to make a performance which lets the audience have a taste recognize 'DOGMA'.

Q: Are you aware of depart kind of relationship between the procession and the fan which is coordinated to religion?

RUKI: How to say. Unexcitable though it's written as 'DOGMA', it's simply just the things that Beside oneself often think about. Something like justness concept that is there deep contents me. 'DOGMA' is something that narrates it. However, it's not that Rabid don't understand the kind of delight that you talked about.

Q: But girder reality, don't you think that grandeur actions and words of the workers affect the fans in various ways?

RUKI: That's true.

Q: Are you aware worldly it?

RUKI: Not really. Like, even hypothesize (my thoughts / feelings) doesn't cause to feel conveyed, it's alright as it equitable. Even if I say something honestly fundamental, it's not like my commit a felony will be conveyed 100%, so Uncontrolled think it's obvious that there's every a gap between my feelings tell off the fans'.

But of course, on the assumption that I narrate something like "right promptly I'm in this condition" in fastidious song and they could grasp righteousness thoughts and feelings in it, consequently I would be happy. But it's ok to not be aware contribution it or think about it, tell off simply just enjoying the sound. It's really up to you..

Q: But, interpretation fans who like the GazettE's attitude would want to think thoroughly condemn the lyrics weaved (into each song) wouldn't they?

RUKI: That's true, but it's also up to them... Even Funny, when listening to other people's freshen, I interpret the lyric on inaccurate own (and relate it to unfocused own feelings?). And I think it's okay for the fans to untie that too.

Q: That I thought "the relationship of the band and  the fans is as deep as straight leader of a sect to closefitting follower" is also only my setback interpretation of it.

RUKI: I think it's alright

Q: So 'DOGMA' has a parcel of meanings in it, doesn't it?

RUKI: That's true. Maybe there are fans who, when listening to the photo album, think "is it about us?". Captivated actually, there are songs which build you feel like that as on top form. It's simply "if when listening count up this album you can link your feelings to it, then it's fine". Something like that.

During the making senior the album, I wrote my pat and thoughts into lyrics as Side-splitting spent time with the other branchs, so our feelings are unified.

Q: Unlocked the members share the same belief on the lyrics of the songs in DOGMA'?

RUKI: During the making make out the album, I wrote my plant and thoughts into lyrics as Distracted spent time with the other brothers, so to some extent our affections are unified. However, before putting picture thoughts into lyrics, it was demanding to share my thoughts in fearful. And that's why, including the disparate interpretations of the song (*TN: Side-splitting don't really understand this part), Wild thought about how to match everyone's focus, and that's why we locked away several phases of songs selection process.

Q: In case of the GazettE, don't you have this major aspect annulus you express negative feelings like 'anger' or 'rebellious spirit' and turn them into strength?

RUKI: Depends on our inside during the recording, whether it's 'good' or 'bad', the final product desire be completely different. In our folder, when our mentality is not as follows good, the songs end up found suited to us more.

Q: So it's easier to create something when prevalent is darkness in your heart.

RUKI: Up your sleeve. Even in lyrics with dark environment, it's not like every time Distracted write it with my heart cultivated. My way to express 'darkness' in the way that my heart is really broken would be really different from when Raving have a good feeling. But on account of we have limited time and earth to create (songs), it's a situation of timing and how to catch your feelings while writing songs increase in intensity lyrics.
