Gazette meme:
Name
Danielle
2. Birthplace
Portland, OR
3. How long have you been a Gazette fan?
A little over 2 years now. I’m not a super big fan though. I don’t keep up with them or anything.
4. How did you first come across Gazette?
RP website.
5. Who's your favourite member?
Kai.
6. What do you like about your favourite member:
He’s silly, and makes me smile.
7. Something you don't know, but would like to know about that member:
Um… How’d he get interested in the drums, and at what age did he start playing?
8. Which of the members have you written letters or fanmail to?
Um… I haven’t written them any fanmail. Is that bad? They probably get a ton already.
9. Something about you that changed when you became a fan of Gazette:
Honestly, I don’t think The GazettE changed that much in me o.o. Jrock in general gave me more incentive to learn Japanese though.
10. Your favourite Gazette song and why:
Toguro. Because it’s awesome. xD I love how quick it is. I do love Taion though, also.
11. The song you'd like to hear most at lives:
Probably Toguro.
12. The song you listen to when you feel down or sad:
I wouldn’t usually listen to The GazettE when I’m down. I’d probably listen to Останусь by Город 312. But if I were to listen to a GazettE song while sad it would Reila.
13. When you are ill, the song that makes you feel better:
I don’t get sick very often.
14. The song you listen to when you are happy?
Filth in the Beauty, Toguro, or Agony xD If we’re going strictly by The GazettE…
15. The song which influenced you the most:
Idk about influencing me, but Taion really influenced me to look at more of their music.
16. The first Gazette song you ever heard:
I think it was either Cockroach or Filth in the Beauty.
17. Is there a song you can sing perfectly without having to look at the lyrics?
>.> No.
18. A Gazette song you'd like to sing at Karaoke:
xD Toguro just so that I could fail at the quick parts (not the mention the slower ones x.x;;;)
19. Have you seen Gazette live?
Psh, no. It’d be cool though, seeing Ruki riding those rails. XP Fabulous.
20. If you have, what were your thoughts? If you haven't, are you planning on attending a live and how?
Well I’m not counting on it, but if I ever get the chance, I’d like to :3
21. At violent Gazette lives, where do you always stand? Or if you haven't been, where would you like to stand?
I’d would stand… on people >D
22. What style do you (or would you like to) attend Gazette lives in? (Clothes, make-up, etc)
IDK! Whatever’s clean? D: Or a suit of armor so that I could sneak in and pretend to be a decoration like in Scooby Doo. Then I’d kidnap one of them backstage, and sell them back to the group for a ransom 8D
23. Name a few necessities for attending a Gazette live:
A ticket.
24. Do you (or would you) always fill out the after-live questionnaire?
I have no idea what that is o.o
25. Something you've started collecting because of Gazette:
I didn’t start collecting anything.
26. Which Gazette costume series do you like most?
I really don’t know ;o; I do like the photo series of Ruki (a Personal Photo Session) where half the pictures he’s wearing a suit, and half the pictures are bloody. That was very interesting.
27. One item you like in Gazette's goods range: (Or if you don't own any, one thing you'd like to have)
I have one of their CD’s.
28. Your cellphone's ringtone:
Some default ringer. >.> Just cause I was worried about BYOB going off in the middle of driver’s ed or something the other day.
29. Your cellphone's wallpaper:
It’s Peachie, panting like a dog.
30. Cellphone strap:
N/A
31. PC wallpaper:
Roger the kitty from Open Season 2 :’D <33
32. Does your email address have something to do with Gazette?
No >.>;;;
33. A place you go to frequently:
Home?
34. Your favourite shop:
I don’t know… I don’t really have one. Though I do love Uwajimaya, and Kinokuniya D:…
35. Your favourite CD shop:
Kinokuniya or one that sells some European CD’s D:
36. A magazine you read frequently:
I don’t really read any magazine frequently. Out of jrock magazines I like SHOXX though.
37. Recommended CD:
Sentimental Macchiato by SID
Out of The GazettE probably Nil or Stacked Rubbish o.o

I don’t knooow? D: Kai, I guess.
48. Which member would you like to cook for?
Whichever one likes top ramen!

I don’t know xD I think Kai would change the least.
50. Please arrange the members according to who you think would make the longest telephone calls from shortest to longest:
I haven’t talked to them on the phone so I can’t be sure…
51. If you had to substitute in a Gazette live, which part would you choose to play?

Fill in the Blank
(List ten Jrockers of your choice. Then fill them into the story and fill in the blanks.)
1) Mao (SID)
2) MIKI (Mix Speaker's Inc.)
3) Yuina (Dolly)
4) Hisui (as.milk)
5) Riku (Chariots)
6) Jun (vNEU)
7) Yukiki (Anubis)
8) Aoi (Ayabie)
9) Satoshi (Girugamesh)
10) Kasumi (ex?-SMILE)
You're taking a walk in the park, when all of a sudden, you trip over something. You fall into the hands of (1)Mao and he says ...
"Hi!"
You reply...
"O.O Sorry for smashing you."
Then you look back to see the leg of (2)Miki in your path. (2)Miki is sitting on a bench laughing at you. You say...
"That's not very nice."
He says...
"You're not very nice : P"
You thank (1)Mao again for helping you and he offers to walk you home. When he takes your hand, (3)Yuina pops out of nowhere and says...
"Fwahaha! People to kidnap >3"
(1)Mao says...
"I'm to young to die ;o;"
(3)Yuina grabs your hand and you both begin running away from (1)Mao just because (3)Yuina is such a spaz. (3)Yuina takes you to an ice cream parlor. (4)Hisui is working there.
(4)Hisui says "What flavor of ice cream do you want?"
You say...
"There's too many flavours! I can't decide!"
(4)Hisui replies...
"Hurry up."
(3)Yuina drags you out of the ice cream parlor so quickly that you accidentally drop your ice cream on someone's shoes! You look up to see (5)Riku looking very angry.
(5)Riku says...
"Lick it clean, Mortal. >O"
You reply...
"I don't want to ;-;"
He demands that you clean them for him, so you get a napkin from the ice cream store and start wiping his shoes. (3)Yuina ditches you because he thinks you're boring. (6)Jun comes to get some ice cream.
When he sees you, (6)Jun says...
"HAHA. You cave to clean a shoe!"
You get up and introduce yourself, and (6)Jun...
Laughs.
You talk to (6)Jun for a while and he starts to "get attached" to you. You...
Wonder how that happened, considering he was just laughing at me like a meanie >O
He ignores whatever you say and leans in to kiss you. You...
Watch.
Just when things were getting interesting, (7)Yukiki interferes! He throws a...
Knife
in between you and (6)Jun. (6)Jun...
Throws the knife back at Yukiki
and runs away, dragging (7)Yukiki away with him. You head for home alone.
You're on your street, just a few houses away from yours, when (8)Aoi pops out of a tree and starts...
attacking
you. You scream in horror. (9)Satoshi swoops down from the sky wearing...
An ape suit
and manshorts. He grabs you and then starts flying into the sky with you. You scream...
"KING KONG!"
He lets you go, and you start falling down, down, down to the ground. Luckily, you were saved by (10)Kasumi! He screams...
"How did you get up there??!!"
and drops you off in the park where you originally were. There, you see Gackt playing in the kiddie playground and Kanon trying to teach three-year-olds how babies are made.
THE END
O.O That was pretty good story...
I tag... Daidiru, unless she's already done this D:
[I know she doesn't like The GazettE though >.<;;]
