the GazettE staff account released an official notice on Twitter (X), sharing a link to the official website, to notify fans of Reita’s passing.

We would like to inform this very important notice to everyone who have been supporting the GazettE. This is the saddest news we have to inform that the GazettE’s bassist REITA passed away on April 15, 2024.
