the GazettE - PLEDGE [Full Pv HQ]

The Gazette (ガゼット)

The Gazette

Gazette was founded in February 2002 by Ruki (vocal), Uruha (1st guitar), Aoi (2nd guitar), Reita (bass guitar) and Yune (drumms). Ruki, Uruha and Reita already played together in a band called Ma'die Kusse and they changed afterwards to Kar+te=zyAnose; Aoi's and Yune's former band was Artia until the five mentioned ones united and Gazette developed.

In April 2002 they released their first single "Wakaremichi" and two videotapes, which were released again two month later in a second press. In the following August/September they released two more singles and another VHS. At this time Matina was their record label. And finally, they gave their first oneman in the October 2002.

At the beginning of 2003, Yune unfortunately decided to leave the band. Kai, the ex-drummer of Mareydi Creia replaced/substituted him nearly immidiately and in March 2003 they joined the PS Company label.
