Ruki’s Interview for Vif
1. Completely changing over from the last 2 songs which were hard numbers, the new song “PLEDGE” is a majestic ballad after “Guren”, so please tell us about the motive behind working out a ballad this time.
Ruki : That’s because I personally feel winters are for ballads. That is why I made it.
2. What is the theme of the single “PLEDGE”?
Ruki : I wanted to write about an expression more profound than love.
3. The title “PLEDGE” means a vow or a written vow, please tell us the motive behind such a title. Also, other than “a vow or a written vow”, does this word also carry some special significance?
Ruki : I added the sense of something being deeper than a promise.
4. Which are the lyrics or the phrase which symbolizes “PLEDGE” this time?
Ruki : The first and the last words.
5. With the GazettE going to Tokyo Dome, the expectations from the fans run high just thinking about how the contents would turn out to be, so do you have anything you want to try, or any objectives in mind for Dome?

6. What is the reason behind having decided upon Dome at this time?

8. What is the GazettE’s next objective, after Dome is over?
Ruki : We just want to take the band to the highest position.
