About me:
Welcome to GazeRock Nation, the 'unofficial' fanclub for American GazettE fans.
This is for all GazettE fans to gather here for one interest, to get the GazettE to tour the U.S.
We're not affiliated in any way with the band, or PSCompany this site is purely run by fans.
Our goal is to get 2,000 members added on this page before we send the petition to the GazettE. Yes thats a lot of members but with your help it wont take long.
So to be able to accomplish that goal fairly quickly we need your help.
Tell your friends, post banners and links on forums you go to, and put banners on your myspace. The only way this site will be a success is active members spreading the word and helping us out. Without you this site would just be another idea that never got a chance to be something big.
HISTORY OF THE GAZETTE
When Karasu the band that Uruha and Reita were in disbanded, Ruki who was drummer in another band named Mikoto in Yokohama got them to join Ma'die Kussë, but that group disbanded. The three of them formed a new band called Kar+te=zyAnose, in which Ruki became the vocalist. Only after three months that group also disbanded, deciding if the next group didn't work out, Ruki would give up on performing. Reita, Uruha, Ruki, with Yune on drums formed the first line up of Gazette. Reita had stated that four members were enough, so they began to work, have lives and photoshoots. Deciding that the sound was two weak without a second guitar player, they found Aoi, in February 2002. Aoi was in the band Arita with Yune before it disbanded, the official group formed on March 10th, 2002.
They then signed a contract with Matina Label releasing thier first single Wakaremichi and VHS in Apirl 2002. By September they had realesed to more singles and another VHS, they gave their first one-man concert in October 2002. On January 21st, 2003 Yune decided to leave for reasons unknown, he was asked by the other members of Gazette to find someone to replace him. The replacement, though pretty good at playing did not agree with the views of Gazette, so they decided to look for a drummer themselves.
Kai's band, Mareydi†Creia had no success in its future therefore it disbanded. He didn't want to form a new band but hoped to join a existing one. Kai attended a Gazette live he found it pretty cool, so after the live Kai and Ruki exchanged numbers.
