Reita's Fashion Sense
Uruha: (about Reita) he has horrible fashion sense
Aoi: Yeah really horrible.
DJ: Ah, I see.
Ruki: He's going to beat you guys up.
What do you wish you had done when you were a...
Ruki: Gotten my drivers license. I really wonder why I never did that.
Uruha: Seriously, why didn't you?
Ruki: And I had so many chances to go, too. I want to completely change that "If I have time to go to the driving school, I'll play instead" kind of thinking I had at the time.
Aoi: I would have liked to take the college entrance exams.
Ruki: That's a lie.
Aoi: I didn't graduate high school, though.
Reita: Aren't you getting the order wrong?
Aoi: I just wish I had been able to at least go to college~ Kinda thing. I'm kidding, though.
Kai: For me it's piano. My mom played, and we have a grand piano in our house, so I wonder why I never learned it. I tried it once, but then I gave up.
Reita: Because he's a thoroughbred.
Aoi: Well, it's not too late, so why don't you start now?
Kai: But the drums...
Aoi: Couldn't you do both~
Uruha: For me it's English. I wish I'd have learned it while I was at the right age. My English grades were always a 5 on the 5-point scale.
Ruki: ...I guess you can repaint the past, huh
Aoi: We can say that cause there's no one here that knows.
Reita: But I've never heard that from Uruha.
Aoi: Rather, I've never heard you speak English.
Reita: That came out of nowhere. [a joke: "nemimi ni mizu" means "out of the blue/out of nowhere". but instead of saying "mizu" he said water in English, lol]
Uruha: Ehh?
Ruki: Your timing of that was weird
(laughs) What about Reita-kun?
Reita: I went to an industrial high school, but I wish I had gotten qualifications from there. I didn't get any.
Uruha: Then why did you go?
Kai: Huh? Didn't you say once you were getting a permit to handle dangerous machinery or something?
Reita: I failed.
All: Wahahahaha!
Aoi: So it's not that you wished you had done it, you couldn't.
But didn't you say that getting a permit like that would basically guarantee what you did for life, so you didn't want to?
Reita: Yes. And now that I think about it, it wouldn't have been anything like that. And guarantees like that are important.
All: Wahahahaha!
Ruki: That's an adult way of thinking (laughs)
Aoi: No, that is important, though

Aoi & Visual Kei
I: Did you experience something like a culture shock when you started playing in a Visual Kei band?
Aoi: First we talked about putting on makeup. "I'm fine with it, but who's gonna put it on me?" (laughs) But then I thought "Whatever, I'll do it myself", so I went to a 100-Yen-shop and grabbed myself some cosmetics. Me and that young lady practiced putting on makeup together (laughs). And while at it, her husband would be giggling at me (laughs). The place we did a live for the first time was near hide's museum in Yokosuka. After that we often played in Tsurumi-ward. Which reminds me, that's around the time I finally got accustomed to Visual Kei. When we were playing in Tsurumi, there was a band that would destroy its drumset. I thought "Visual Kei is damn scaryyyy!" (laughs). In other genres there are generally no bands that do such things, right? "Visual Kei is a dangerous world", that's the first thing I thought back then.

That awkward moment when your internet, phone, water, electricity and gas goes dead and suddenly FBI and SWAT barge into the house with an AC-130 providing suppressing fire, shoot the family dog, and detain you, and when the judge passes his sentence, he gives you 12 years in a Supermax prison to be guarded 24/7 solitary confinement for being guilty of copying and pasting an...
