REIKA: You’ll have to excuse me, it’s my second time [here]. (laughs) But personally, it’s such an honor, and I’m really really happy [to be here]. I went on tour and stuff and thought about souvenirs, but I ran out of time so all I bought in the end were from Tokyo Station………I bought you Rusk, so if you’d like…….
REITA: I like Rusk! You didn’t have to worry about this kind of thing though. Thank you.
REIKA: But Rusk has a short expiration date, right…….
REITA: Really? That’s fine, since I think I’ll end up eating all of it the day after tomorrow (laughs). Seriously, thank you. Ah, this…….
――Ah, please put it up~ (does it like in “Waratteiitomo”[1]) Well, I’ll keep it then.
REIKA: Ahahaha. I’m really sorry.
REITA: No no, thank you for doing this for me. Rather, I should be sorry for making you worry.
REIKA: No, no, it’s an honor!
――This is REIKA’s 2nd appearance, but the guest last time was NAOKI. He came in plain clothes then, but today he came in clothes that have the spirit of a costume[2].
REIKA: No, no (laughs). It doesn’t mean that I was careless at that [NAOKI’s] time (laughs)! When I got the information about REITA coming in something like a costume, I thought it would be better if I went in costume, too.
REITA: To match me, right! Thanks.
REIKA: Not at all! See, I was really glad to be named [for the program]. Before getting to hear from REITA that I was nominated, by chance I had an errand to do at the office, and from the conference room I could hear REITA’s voice saying “D=OUT’s REIKA is…….” So in my mind I became curious and was like, “Eh!? What could this be about?” Then, we talked about this conversation.[3]
REITA: In the office, REIKA is the only person I eat with besides the members (laughs).
REIKA: It’s happened twice in the past. It has a once-a-year pace, right.[4]
REITA: Yeah, yeah. Since I don’t really get involved with a lot of people (laughs). Because I meet people often at that pace!
REIKA: Ahahaha. But, those two times [when we went to eat], it was in the same restaurant, in the same seats!
REITA: You’re right!
――Was it something like, “let’s meet again in that place of memories!”!?
REITA: No, it’s usually different (laughs). That time, something seriously scary happened, didn’t it. I don’t smoke, but I was thinking REIKA does, so I even booked 2 seats in the smoking area. When REIKA and I went in together, we were suddenly told “table for 3?” at the entrance’s reception desk. I was thinking like, “Oi oi, stooop thaaat. Don’t say strange things!”
――Eh!? You mean there was someone else they could see!?
REIKA: Maybe……REITA didn’t bring anyone else, right.
REITA: I wonder if I was bringing someone, after all…….
―― You could see them!?[5]
REIKA: No, I can’t see it but, clearly they were seeing something[6].
REITA: I can’t see them at all either. But, again, from there…
―― There’s a continuation!?
REITA: Yeah. Although I asked for seats in the smoking section, they kept insisting on non-smoking seats anyway!
REIKA: We shouldn’t have said anything, right!
REITA: Right, right. I bet the “other person” was emitting some serious non-smoking auras (laughs).
REIKA: After that, when the staff noticed the mistake, we were brought to our previous seats, where REITA and I ate [together] for the first time.
REITA: Yep. Like, that day was really a mysterious one.
――You two really have no ESP[7].
REIKA: None.
REITA: No way, that kind of thing, I absolutely don’t wish to have. Are there people like that? Is there someone like that in our office?
――People like TOMO from BORN.
REITA: Oh man! I absolutely don’t want to talk to him (Rejection).
――Oh (broad grin)? By any chance, are you a coward!?
REITA: I’m a coward (laughs). Things like ghosts, I’m seriously no good with.
REIKA: Bugs too?
REITA: No good! Insects and stuff are totally impossible!
――What a wimp.
REIKA: Ahahaha. Wimp (laughs).[8]
REITA: I’m a wimp (openly declares). Things like bugs are really impossible, right.
REIKA: Definitely impossible. I can’t handle bugs at all, either.
――Was your childhood not okay?
REITA: Okay sure, I touched worms, beetles etc, growing up. But now it’s impossible, I can’t even touch beetles anymore.
――In the past, you was fine with frogs and stuff, too.
REITA: Yeah, yeah. Now it’s just absolutely impossible.
――Since when did you stop touching them?
REITA: I wonder when it was? Since I was a high school student?
REIKA: Right.
――You became adults so you don’t do it anymore (laughs). Becoming adults, didn’t the food you eat change?
REITA: About that. You know, REIKA~
REIKA: Ah, you’re right (laughs). I absolutely can’t eat vegetables (laughs). Even after becoming an adult, that didn’t change!
REITA: But you know, me, when we first went to eat, I wasn’t told anything so I ordered food without thinking. But when I think about it now, this guy tried to hide [the fact that he doesn’t eat vegetables] from me. I was thinking that he is the type of person who cares about others. When we went out to eat the 2nd time, I had my favorite salad, so I asked him “do you want some?” then he said “no, to be honest, I can’t eat vegetables.”
REIKA: But, REITA is really kind. When he knew, he said to me, “if you can’t do it, it’s okay even if you don’t eat it!” and he really cared about me. He’s really a good person. A place we went to was a yakiniku shop, and REITA likes salted Negitan, but for my sake, he ordered salted Tan without the Negi.[9]
REITA: But that’s because you said you can’t [eat it]!
――But, the negi of salted negitan is good.
REITA: That’s true, right. But I understand that dislike when it comes to things you hate.
――Does REITA have something he hates?
REITA: I have a lot! That’s why I understand how REIKA feels. I, too, though I’m not as bad as him, am not that fond of vegetables. Like eggplant and shiitake.
――Eggplant and shiitake are delicious, too, you know. “You become smarter when you eat shiitake,” didn’t you hear this from your mom?
REITA: It’s too late now, isn’t it.
REIKA: Ahahaha. But that’s true, right, since we’ve already become adults. Speaking as someone who is now an adult, recently, I’ve been enjoying drinking alcohol. Since I can only eat very few things. But, before we ate out the first time, REITA told me “it’s hard for me to deal with people who change [personality] when they’re drunk” and I felt pressured when I heard this. I thought……what should I do (laughs).
REITA: So I want to put this out there as a warning, “Don’t change.”
REIKA: Ahahaha. But as I thought, there’s this nervousness when you go to drink with a senpai, so I don’t think I could change personality to a drastic extent.
REITA: About that, even while you’re heeding the indirect advice of “don’t change”, you’ll end up worrying about something like “what do you do now that you’ve created a situation where you can’t drink to your heart’s content……”
――Ahaha. It came out! A type temperament! (see previous talk with K (BORN) x REITA (the GazettE))
REITA: That’s right (laughs)! REIKA, what’s your blood type?
REIKA: I’m B.
REITA: B, huh! I want to be like that.
REIKA: Ahahaha. Eh? What do you mean?
REITA: I really want to be like them, B types. You can say selfish things without giving a bad impression, and you’re always spoiled by other people. But REIKA has the nice, caring impression. I don’t think there are a lot of B types like that.
――When you two go out to eat, what do you talk about?
REIKA: We have conversations about standard equipment, or music.
――You have serious conversations like that!?
REIKA: We do!
REITA: But with this kind of image, I wonder if I could ask [people] not to write that we don’t have these serious conversations a lot (laughs). See, we’re rock musicians after all, so we’re obsessed with our image.[10]
REIKA: Ahahaha, true (laughs).
REITA: But, we do talk about things like equipment.
REIKA: But you know, majority [of our topics] are trivial ones.
REITA: True. Totally nothing in particular (laughs). If we’re asked about it again in this way, I won’t recall trivial topics at all. But that reminds me, when we met at the office before this, weren’t you saying something like “Ah, I’ve set aside a topic for this conversation!”? I’m really curious about it, what is it?
REIKA: My one-sided memory of REITA.
REITA: Eh? What? You have something like that?
REIKA: Yes. At a time when I absolutely had no interest in visual kei, I was browsing magazines on accessories at the convinience store. REITA was featured then. When I saw that, I was embarrassed that I didn’t know about the GazettE. Back then, REITA had an aloof blonde hairstyle.
REITA: I did (laughs).
REIKA: When I saw that REITA, who looked, to me, like an ideal rock musician, I was all “Eh!? Who is this? This person!?” and was asking everyone, “What’s the GazettE? Who is this?” and from then on, I searched everything about the GazettE and REITA, then I brought REITA’s picture when I had my haircut and copied it, which is my one-sided memory.
REITA: IS THAT SO!? I’m happy. That sort of thing really makes me happy.
REIKA: And then, way before, you could read REITA’s blog that was on the home page, but in the first post I read, it was an angry post where you suddenly snapped, so I ended up thinking “A-ah so REITA is a scary person……” (laughs).
REITA: Ahahaha. I got angry (laughs). I accidentally snapped. This story was 7 years ago so there wasn’t anything like Twitter, but there was undoubtedly fake REITAs going around and impersonating me, and doing bad things, I was seeeeriously pissed about that. Like, in fanmail or letters, people would write, “I met REITA earlier”, which is something I have no memory of at all, so I came to write [the post]. And there were a lot of [the letters], so if you could please investigate, because there’s apparently a fake REITA around pretending to be me. Then, one day, I checked the supposed day we met, and I actually had a radio recording then, which was the impostor REITA going around, and so the presence of this impostor REITA was made clear. So I snapped. I said, “I’m leading this serious life, but you’re fucking with my name!”[11] (laughs).
REIKA: Ahahaha. That’s really angry (laughs).
――I see (laughs). By the way, around when did you two actually meet?
REITA: When we first met, we were rehearsing at separate rooms, or something like that, right?
REIKA: Yes. At the time, because D=OUT’s manager was also the GazettE’s sub-manager, I heard the rehearsal studio was the same, so I asked, “Please, I’d like to greet them!” That time was the first.
REITA: Until that point, I was kind of able to put together their faces[12], enough to make a small greeting, but we never actually got to talk, right. That’s why that was the only time we really talked. When REIKA spoke to me, he said “Could you let me see your equipment?” We even exchanged mobile numbers then, right. Still, there was a long gap from that time until we first went to eat (laughs).
REIKA: Yes. A year from then (laughs). From the standpoint of a kouhai[13], it’s hard to be the one to invite, after all.
REITA: Nah, from the standpoint of a senpai, it’s a hard thing to do too, you know (laughs). Back then, if I’m invited by a senpai, I used to think that I absolutely cannot refuse, so now, since my own standpoint became that of a senpai, I can remember hating it when it was me [who felt obligated], so what do I do if I made [the kouhai] feel the same? So I become worried. That’s why, when I think of that, I don’t invite. Result is, it took one year.
REITA: I like Rusk! You didn’t have to worry about this kind of thing though. Thank you.
REIKA: But Rusk has a short expiration date, right…….
REITA: Really? That’s fine, since I think I’ll end up eating all of it the day after tomorrow (laughs). Seriously, thank you. Ah, this…….
――Ah, please put it up~ (does it like in “Waratteiitomo”[1]) Well, I’ll keep it then.
REIKA: Ahahaha. I’m really sorry.
REITA: No no, thank you for doing this for me. Rather, I should be sorry for making you worry.
REIKA: No, no, it’s an honor!
――This is REIKA’s 2nd appearance, but the guest last time was NAOKI. He came in plain clothes then, but today he came in clothes that have the spirit of a costume[2].
REIKA: No, no (laughs). It doesn’t mean that I was careless at that [NAOKI’s] time (laughs)! When I got the information about REITA coming in something like a costume, I thought it would be better if I went in costume, too.
