RUKI: You know, we are a visual kei band, so do nails, makeup and stuff, right?
KAI: Yes.
RUKI: So sometimes people tell me “He is gay” and things like that.
KAI: Ehhhhh ?! Because of the makeup?
RUKI: Yeah, tell me these things. There are those moments … For example, in the comments of my instagram, people say “bitch” and things like that.
RUKI and KAI: [laughs]
RUKI: I mean, because my clothes are different and is not manly in the view of some people.

RUKI: But honestly during the lives I can see happiness in our fans. They seem to really enjoy our music, so it makes me happy. I don’t care about those other bad things because the impression of our fans is the only thing that matters to me. And I believe that not all of them think so negatively.
From: Radio the GazettE, with Ruki and Kai.
It’s nice that Ruki not take it so seriously and as an adult can handle this, but what about the fans? That’s a bit childish and silly. Don’t make comments like these to the GazettE members, it’s very unpleasant. It’s a matter of respect.
I am glad he’s laughing it off so easily. I mean he’s a free spirit and he can do as an artist what he want’s to do. Whenever I see those ridiculous comments on his Insta it makes me just furious. Honestly ! How do these people dare to write such things !?! I am really glad Ruki’s ignoring them, because these people have to get ignored because they’re just idiots.

Also yes I’m glad Ruki can see that those people calling him bitch on his posts are childish and don’t deserve his time. Ruki is an artist, and where there is art and talent there will always be those who try to bring him down. I know that Ruki is mature and strong enough to ignore those people. Ruki knows that the people who do matter are the ones who will love him unconditionally.
In fact this isn’t happiibaka translation, I’ve translated it.
