Vif - Special Feature - Ruki Interview
Ruki’s Interview for Vif:
1. Completely changing over from the last 2 songs which were hard numbers, the new song “PLEDGE” is a majestic ballad after “Guren”, so please tell us about the motive behind working out a ballad this time.
Ruki : That’s because I personally feel winters are for ballads. That is why I made it.
2. What is the theme of the single “PLEDGE”?
Ruki : I wanted to write about an expression more profound than love.
3. The title “PLEDGE” means a vow or a written vow, please tell us the motive behind such a title. Also, other than “a vow or a written vow”, does this word also carry some special significance?
Ruki : I added the sense of something being deeper than a promise.
4. Which are the lyrics or the phrase which symbolizes “PLEDGE” this time?
Ruki : The first and the last words.
5. With the GazettE going to Tokyo Dome, the expectations from the fans run high just thinking about how the contents would turn out to be, so do you have anything you want to try, or any objectives in mind for Dome?
Ruki : It’ll be good if we are able to create the biggest burst among the artists who have performed at Tokyo Dome.
6. What is the reason behind having decided upon Dome at this time?
Ruki : That is because the band needs a giant, triggering explosion right now.
7. What is the Dome Live, to the GazettE?
Ruki : We wanted to try out what we would be able to present on a Stage of our dreams, at this time. That is all.
8. What is the GazettE’s next objective, after Dome is over?
Ruki : We just want to take the band to the highest position.
9. This is always asked of everybody holding a Live at the highest rated structure in Japan. What is a “good Live” to the GazettE?
Ruki : A sense of unity. How much does it resonate with the audience?
10. During the long Tour, were there any difficult times for the 5 members while travelling?
Ruki : There weren’t.
11. Please tell us what has been your favourite item of convenience during the Tour.
Ruki : iPhone.
12. What is the one thing in the world that the GazettE is proud of?

Downton Abbey: A Journey To The Highlands Special Feature
Feature. As in one. Should have checked the back of the DVD case before I got it as an overnight new release…
Anyway, here you go.
blackthumb: mint, chives, and sage
I had a bounty of herbs in the last few weeks, despite a very shady summer, so I put them out for our neighbors to grab! I put out a little sign, and tied each bundle of herbs with Bakers Twine
Of all the herbs I’ve tried to grow this summer, the best ones for a black-thumb like me have been the chives, hands-down. They started to look a little sickly once, earlier in the summer, so I cut them all back leaving only about an inch above the soil, and now they’ve exploded back stronger than before. I have a feeling if I kept cutting them, they would get stronger every time. I read in Grow Great Grub: Organic Food from Small Spaces
And so dang tasty! On Saturday mornings when we’re making eggs, I cut a bunch off and then scissor-slice them directly into the egg mixture. We have yet to try them on baked potatoes, but I can’t wait!
For the sign, I used my handy-dandy, rusty-trusty Cavallini ABC Alphabet Lowercase Set of 26 Stamps in Tin w Ink Pad
