HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY RUKI !! "He's a poet, as one would expect"
-- Aoi, The GazettE

To be honest, I didn’t like you much at first. You really seemed like the full blown obnoxious artistic type; overemotional and diva up to a point. But as the years passed, I’ve come to appreciate you a whole lot more. Your talkativeness is actually cute and rather endearing. Without a doubt, you have great taste in clothing. But most important of all, you are the brains and the passion behind the GazettE; without you, nothing was gonna happen. Period.
Happy Birthday, Rookie. I wish you good health, happiness, and prosperity. Stay awesome bro ;D.

This is for the man whose voice never fails to make my day. For the man whose words strike me deepest. I hope you’ll continue inspiring a lot of people. Happy 30th birthday Ruki-san.
What really got me was when you said “Hello. I’m the GazettE’s vocalist, Ruki.”
So, I don’t usually do this kind of thing, y’know, where I write out big long paragraphs for someone’s birthday. But this is you we’re talking about. How can I not write about you on your birthday?
First of all, like many other Sixth Guns, I want to say Happy Birthday and thank you. You’ve shown me so much. I’m sure everyone knows what I’m talking about when I say that because of you, I know my dreams have as much chance as the next person.
Your lyrics… so elegantly put together… I can’t explain the emotions they rip out of me. I can’t explain what kind of effect you, and the others, have had on me. I can’t explain, so I don’t think I’ll even try. I know people will understand.
Happy Birthday. Keep smiling, Chibi. I love you.
Forever a loyal fan,
Elle.
