And you call yourself a fan?  
Wow.. Thanks to all those who replied to my question. The thought of Aoi being in love with a person is bugging my heart. T.T

by GazeFamily@Twitter

This caught my attention while skipping trough my twitter page. And this person dare to call them self a fan? A true fan would be happy if someone like Aoi or any other would be in love with someone. PEOPLE YOU DON'T OWN THEM, THEY ARE NOT PERFECT, THEY ARE HUMANS LIKE THE REST OF US AND THEY WILL EVENTUALLY FOUND SOMEONE TO BE WITH! Instead of writing hurtful things about their loved ones and comments like the one above, we should support them and be happy for them. 

It was the second time something like this has happened; first time it was after the Pledge PV came out and Aoi and Erina twitted each other I've noticed quite some tweets saying something along the lines of I hate Erina etc.

Why would be so wrong for Aoi to find someone? I can understand we would all be shocked, but to say something hurtful about it just mean and very, very unsupportable. I believe many Aoi fans dreams about being The One for Aoi but lest be honest, the chances of this actually happening are close to zero (beside I don't really see Aoi falling in love with teenage girls. It's illegal and I think he's more of a traditional type of a guy). 

I'm aware of the fact it's Japanese music industry's fault for fans acting this way, saying they own the band and the band members (just remember what happened to Gack's marriage and the whole drama around Miyawi's weeding) but still, it's just childish. If you are a fan support Aoi and the bend trough thick and thin.

I agree. Being a rockstar is not a pledge of celibacy.

I'd actually be rather sad if Aoi didn't have anyone. What a waste, he's a great guy. And lonely. He deserves so much more.

I know right, but in Japan it seems so. I really don't understand how fans don't get it, European and American rock stars are mostly married w/ children and no one judge them for it.

He really does seem lonely. Well next time we will just invite him to go drinking with us xD

Man if Aoi doesn't find someone to at least hang out it, I'll be worried...he complains about being lonely way too much. :D

As for the fans ... There's heaps of these in every fandom. IDK what's it about maintaining that illusion of perfection about one's idols. It's precisely because I can see their humanity that I love them.

I definitely agree with you, but don't let them get to you. Rabid fans should be avoided in big circles :D

He does complains a lot in deed ^^, poor guy xD.

Yup rapid fans should be avoid, and I usually ignore it, but sometimes it just too much.

I've actually though Aoi was in a relationship if not married for over a year now. His personality seems to have changed and matured a little since earlier.
Don't worry, I believe that there are more good fans who love and support Aoi and GazettE and other bands. I think a lot of people love the idea of being in love with their favorite member but grasp that the reality is its never going to happen. And in real life, if you TRULY love someone you want for them to be happy more than yourself, true love is selfless. For me, Reita is my personal favorite, but the day I find out he's getting married I will be so happy for him because he's almost 30 now, the boys I'm sure all want to love and settle down with families, they can still do music AND be in relationships. I think MOST fans understand that, unfortunately, its the mean spirited fans that get the attention for voicing their anger. The best thing is to show our support to the boys and not acknowledge these selfish fans ^_^

I know how you feel, to me Aoi is my absolute favourite since the first day I know about them (good 5 years now). I'd be so happy for him if he would find someone he complains about being lonely way to much ^_^.

He did mature (a bit, sometimes he still acts like a 5 year old xD), but I don't think he did married (only because of PSC politics, even though Tomomi-san denied it on twitter, I still think that marriage was why Miyavi left PSC). But after Pledge came out and Aoi and Erina twitted each other I got a feeling he has a bit of a crush on her xD. Either way married or in a relationship he is still my favourite J-rocker ever ^^

I saw that tweet as well and I was all "wtf".

I'm a weird person, so if Aoi's getting married or in a relationship I'd be sad...because my fanfiction OTP won't come true lol My dream is to see Aoi marry Uruha, not marry myself, but it's just as impossible so oh well.

Other than that, i don't think I'll be wailing and whining or anything. I'd be fine with it as long as he still makes music and look hot while doing it >_> If getting married made him stop making music I'll be pissed, definitely.

I made fun of Erina at one time, but that's coz I was staring at her teeth in the PV and it started to look retarded after repeating the PV over and over again... I'm such a weirdo.

Lol, you'll see your favourite OTP on stage xD

Marriage doesn't mean he would stop making music (I know about a few J-rockers that are married and still do music.). I agree tho, if he would get married and stopped making music I'd be disappointed, but then again if he would explain reason(s) why he stopped it might change the whole thing.

LOL, I only started at Aoi and Ruki at the PV xD

How true, but well, people are different and nothing will change Them.. One will be jealous because fave musician, actor found love, other will be worried that He didn't find love and one more won't care at all.. But real fan will always love celebrity no matter if the one found love or not...
