I love Gackt. He is not only fashionable, funny, but can sing and act as well. He has great style and a nice deep voice. Some people don't really understand him but he is just one funny, funny man. Many people find him weird or strange, but I think he is somewhat mocking certain aspects of Japanese society. I'm not going to get into it, but Gackt is one of the top 3 well known Japanese male celebrities in Japan.
He is also open minded and plays about a million instruments. He can speak some Mandarin and is friends with Wang Lee Hom among others. I watch his shows religiously and I really respect him as a person because in the homogenous society of Japan, he really is an individual.
Anyone like him? Hate him? Don't understand him?

but just turned off by his nice eyebrows.
You are turned off by his eyebrows? He has like, the most perfectly plucked guy's eyebrows. In fact I used to......nevermind.
I used to notice him back when he was with Malice Mizer. He is so damn pretty, like a porcelain doll. He's also one of my favourite fashion icon back then. But I like him most because I never know what's going on in his mind, which makes him all the more exciting.
But the strangest thing is, for a guy so bloody good looking, I actually don't have the hots for him. Possibly because he's so mysterious that I don't even know his gender preference. Remember all the dry-humping he used to give to the rest of the members of Malice Mizer?

Haha, satanrina - I remember all that. He has changed a lot, he doesn't do that anymore.
The reason why I like him is not because I have the hots for him (like Jay! And Xiao Zhu! And Ou Di! And Kaneshiro Takeshi! And Kimutaku! And Takki! And Miyake Ken! And Okada Junichi! And...)
I like Gackt because of his character, his personality. He's so mysterious that it's really interesting. One time he said on Utaban that he likes girls who can have sex for a long time! haha! And then he said that he likes to go to the back of the supermarket for the "good meat." Did you watch that episode?
He is just so "pretty." And so fashionable. Yet he's cool. Have you seen him in the Another World MV? Gah he looked good there.

I saw the Another World MV.The first time I noticed him was when I was looking at one of my japan magazines which was I think last year.I never saw him act before,but I really want to watch his movie with Hyde and Wong Lee Hom called "Moon Child".Looks good.
I find Gackt really mysterious too.It's actually werid that he wouldn't tell his age.He always says he's 456 years old or somewhere there.I remember watching a dating game he had to do with one of the members from morning musume.It's actually quite funny when the girl asks him his age.

I don't get any Japanese variety shows here, I think, I kinda stopped watching most tv programs recently. I like it that he's pretty open, which is rare in Japanese society. Especially since he's an idol and will have to upkeep his image.
Actually, I can hardly understand what he's saying most of the time. But the times I do understand, he's pretty funny. Darkly funny, deadpan expression, the kind of humour I like too. Of course, he might be telling the truth, I never know!
I didn't catch his MV, because ....well, did I mention the lack of Japanese variety shows? Also because I was traumatised by one of his earlier MVs with Malice Mizer, I think it was "Illuminati".
I just watched a concert clip of Gackt and some other people and other artists like Mana, if that's how you spell it. And i was disgusted. They where dressed in bondage clothes and leather straps and chains. And they were dressed like girls and "dry humping" each other while singing. It jsut sort of freaked me out... lol i was like. o.O.

Yay, it's about time Gackt got mentioned...I love him, especially his voice, it's so deep and emotional in his songs. Aside from his looks (and gorgeous is he!! I could sit here and drool for eternity) He does seem a bit mysterious, but that makes him more attractive in that sense. He seems to be that kind of strong willed person, he said that when he was younger, he hated the piano, but he still played it, just to prove that he could do it, and now he's great at it. He was one of the first few Jrock artists i ever listened to, and i think he's one of the best too, it's no doubt that he's one of the top artists in Japan.

Gackt can play so many intruments I can barely keep up. He can also do the splits. He did the splits in this one machine on Utaban, it was so hilarious. Gackt always seems to say the right thing at the right time, and it's always funny. The thing about Gackt is that everything he says is practically a joke. If you realize that, he's almost always sarcastic.
Jewel_Dust, can you understand Japanese?
And I'm going to upload some clips on Gackt. Has anyone seen the clip where Gackt speaks to Vivian Hsu in Mandarin?
REally? Gackt speaks Mandarin? you really need to uplaod that. I want to show my friend, she'll go crazy.
I don't doubt that Gackt is really talented and has great ability. i jsut don't like the way his music is presented... like... it's just wierd.

No, Chun Li! I was supposed to upload that. :) I have all his music videos, all the Utaban clips (well, translated funny ones that are being mentioned here), and I have multiple lives of Domoto Bros INCLUDING the one with Vivan Hsu. His Chinese really is quite good, except when he said "Thank you". After you upload, I'll probably put up some stuff too.
Man, it's about time someone made a thread for Gackt-san. Just so I can obsess about him some more. :D He is one of my current obsessions along with Jay. Made a whole site for Gackt too. BWUAHA. Check out my site Cube (http://tsoba.net/~cube) to see how obsessed I am.
Well, actually, I like him because of his humor a lot more than his prettiness. His humor is hilarious if you can get past the initial strangeness. Gackt is truly a man to be admired for all his musical talents as well as his personality.
:D

06-07-2003, 08:04 AM
Okay, why don't you upload that file? I'm going to start a Gackt download thread in the Downloads and links section. Be sure to describe what each of the clips you're downloading are (in detail) so we don't waste our time and upload the same things. That way, we can trade and also share with other members and increase Gackts fan base!
And Mike...
It's not "weird." You just don't understand it so you think it's weird. People probably think Jay's mumbling is "weird." It's not weird to you because you understand why he does it.
Point is: Saying something is weird is close-minded.
(I'm not being mean, by the way).
edit: I started the thread.

in wierd i mean having sex with other guys dressed as girls on stage. But his music is cool. Maybe it's different. XD... i never really noticed Jay's mumbling until i heard people here mentioning it... lol, i guess i'm wierd too. :P

Ah, yes. So many that I don't even know how some of the above-mentioned instruments look like. I've been trying to get a close look and his teeth, because they are supposedly ruined from years of playing the trombone and trumpet. But he never smiles, no blindingly wide smile anyways so....
Haha, satanrina - I remember all that. He has changed a lot, he doesn't do that anymore.
He doesn't?
*sad*
Well, you mentioned something about Gackt doing splits? xD~
Anyways, since this subject is about his fashion sense and hair, which is your favourite Gackt outfit and hair?
*I'm feeling all fan-girly again!*

Actually, he has the NICEST teeth. I downloaded a Domoto Bros. clip where he was playing ping pong to win a bottle of wine for this woman, and he showed his pearly whites. I was squealing about that smile for a week... Er, I'll have to upload that.
Also, the (in)famous clip where one of the hosts on Hey! Hey! Hey! tries to grab Gackt's crotch shows a couple scenes where he shows off that cute cute smile.
As for my favorite outfit and hair... I'd have to say that I'm a sucker for Gackt in a suit. I don't know why, but I love him in suits... For favorite hair, I'd have to say either Mizerable hair, his Wasurenai Kara hair, OR his semi-recent one in the Kimi ga Oikaketa Yume photobook. Yep.

I heard that many FF characters were modeled after Gackt?
It was rumored that Squall from FF8 as well as a character from FF11 (the online FF?) were modeled after Gackt. Final Fantasy makers swear that the similarities are purely coincidental. I still think that the FF creators were influenced by Gackt when they made Squall though.
BUT! If you're read the manga Hanakimi, one of the characters (named Himejima, I believe) was modeled after Gackt. In Hanakimi, Himejima is a gorgeous, long haired bishie who is very vain and randomly speaks German. Also, Umeda (a doctor in Hanakimi) can be seem using the cologne "Platinum Egoiste", which is the cologne Gackt wears.
Er, yea... Gackt is pretty popular.

I love Gackt!! ^^
I'm so glad someone started a thread about him. Not only does he look cool, but his voice is so great. His song 'Mizerable' is one of my all-time favourite songs. I really wonder what his real age is though...I read that he claims to be a vampire and is over 400 years old...o_O I love how he is so mysterious...~ *^^*
Anyway, lots of people think that Squall from Final Fantasy 8 was modelled after him. Apparently, when Gackt first saw a pic of Squall, he insisted that Square must have modelled Squall after him. Heheh. But if you guys have watched the music video of Mizerable, and the ending of FF8, don't you think there are some similarities? Like...the clothes, and the cracked desert ground...? Those are just some things I noticed..^^;; I saw a pic of the FF11 character, and I think he looks more like Gackt than Squall did.

Wow..really?? Squall was modelled after Gackt? I guess that explains why i love Squall so much too... :happy: and now that i think about it...he does kind of resemble Gackt... and I've heard of Hanakimi before, but never really seen any issues of it.
ergggg sorry guys, how do u attach the files? because i can't find the button thing to attach files, and the url's for the pics i found don't work directly.
My friend showed me a picture of Gackt and he was wearing EXACTLY what squall wears in FF8. the EXACT same outfit with the fur and stuff.

Yea, I remembered that he referred to Squall as Gackt number 2 in one of his shows. That explains why I suck at FF, too busy drooling over Squall...so beautiful.
*wipes drool off*
There was another video game character he was often associated with, that one with the Vampire costume he had in the "Mizerable" video?
My favorite Gackt outfit...? Hmmmmm. I think it would have to be when he looked like Sephiroth, you know, when he was in his "I'm a prince" stage. I think that was before his Oasis type songs. You?
Ah, I like his Dark Angel costumes back in the days with Malice Mizee. Those wings. Those talons.....Fwaah~
And also his Dark Prince of the night, "I'm going to eat you" look he had in his "Mizerable" video.......Fwaah~
*ahem*
As for non costumes, I like him in his casual white long sleeves.
And the times he goes au-naturale. I mean, although he has a nice booty and pecs...Fwaah~
*ahem*
I mean, if you look past all that, his body is like a sculpture, that whiteness. Really, I admire him like I admire Michange.....Fwaah~

Squall was modeled after Gackt. There's no doubt about it. Just like how Tidas was modeled after Takki.

It's a page with comparisons of Gackt and Alucard, and Gackt and Squall. They all really do look so similar. Hahaha...all Square did was add some belts to make Squall's costume. That's the only difference~ ^^

06-08-2003, 11:15 PM
Yeah I have several pictures of Squall in the same poses as Gackt.
Squall also as the same "cool" type attitude that Gackt has, would you not agree?
linny
06-09-2003, 02:20 AM
Yes, but in a way, Squall is more clueless. And, Gackt is always much cooler because he has the sarcastic humor going on. Plus, Gackt looks way cooler with a gun. XD
Does anyone here read Hanakimi? There's this one pose of Sano (main guy character) that looks exactly like one picture from the Kimi ga Oikaketa Yume photobook. o.O

Anyway, the pose I'm talking about:

Ok, I work out everyday and I have higher fat percentage than him. The horrors, maybe it's the supplements. Although I wonder how long it takes for him to swallow all 40 kinds of supplements. But well, this comes from the guy who claims to eat his vanilla scented candles, so
*suspends belief*
Hmm...dating is my fave past time too. But wait, he likes Meg Ryan and Sandra Bullock? Why does that leave me? Pick me. I'm pretty sure I can generate more energy than those Hokkaidian girls...

That's mine too! I admit to not having heard many of his songs, but Cube is very good stuff.

Just have to add this though. Meg Ryan may not be Grade A in the looks department but I think she's got lots of individual style that lets her carry whatever she wears very well. And her comic timing is excellent. just her choice of man is truly bad (whatever possessed her to leave Dennis Quaid for that pompous b****** Crowe?) :bang:
Chun Li
06-11-2003, 08:18 PM

I'm sorry this might be a little random, but... I have to say it. I just finished downloading Hoshi no Suna, and I have to say...
I love Gackt.
There are so many reasons to love this man, but the most important is his music. I'm so serious. Everyone here can say how much he acts weird, how strange he appears, how he shouldn't wear make-up, how he scares you, but in the end, it's such a small thing to complain about.
Listen to his music. You'll love it. I swear. Forget for a moment all the strange things that scare you. Just... listen to his music. It speaks for itself. It speaks for Gackt.
Sitting here, listening to him softly sing Hoshi no Suna, I get why people love him so. I get why he has fangirls screaming for him every where he goes. His music is just so superb. I was afraid that he had turned pop, that he was forgetting about all the beautiful music he made in the past.
Then, he comes up with these deep beautiful songs like Hoshi no Suna and Tsuki no Uta, and I'm blown away. Gackt is just wonderful.
Okay, so I'm ranting. If you want to hear Hoshi no Suna, go to Dears Community (http://www.livejournal.com/community/dears) and go down a couple entries. Download Hoshi no Suna. It's just... gorgeous. I'll be uploading when I have time, but go download it. I promise, no one who gives it a try will be disappointed.

I really like both the songs, they're beautiful, and yes, i believe that Gackt really deserves the attention he gets, he not only has an attractive personality, charming looks, but also, and probably most importantly, his music is well composed and written, to add on with his deep and soulful voice.

HYDE IS WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY COOLER THAN GACKT ...
The reason why Gackt wears this heavy make up is because he was from a Visual Kei band named MaLice Mizer. In Japan, VK bands are those cross dressing, make-up wearing guys ... ^_^ ...
I dont like his voice ...
linny

*blink*
Yes, Gackt used to be in a Visual-Kei band named Malice Mizer. Their music wasn't half bad either. And yes, they did wear heavy make-up and they probably did cross dress. *shrug*
Like I really care.
All that should matter is that his music kicks ass. So there. :bleh:

For a moment there, I thought nyemie is going to get it. O.o
I'm sorta glad that Gackt's pop era is over. Or at least, I hope it's over, with birdcage and Tsuki no Uta and Hoshi no Suna. It's a really nice change from all that pop glossiness + hyperness + constant skin showing.
As for favorite Gackt song... OASIS people. OASIS. XD

Oasis. I'll never understand your obsession with that song. The live is cool. ^^

..o.O you don't like his voice?? That is the first time i have ever heard someone not like him because of that, i mean...he's got one of the best voices out there, and so what if he was in Malice Mizer....you know...L'arc~en~ciel also started off as a Visual kei band...which means Hyde cross dressed too.
And hey, don't get me wrong. Hyde is my absolute favourite, I'm probably even more obsessed about him than Gackt.
Chun Li
06-16-2003, 06:38 AM
In a good mood today cause it's Father's Day, so I'm on the nice side.
Gackt has one of the best voices in "Jpop" (Jmusic is better word, perhaps?). Lots of other artists have really thin voices, whereas Gackt's voice is deep and has more substance.
And as for Hyde being cooler - I give Hyde credit for his music and his voice. He has some interesting videos too. But as far as "COOL" goes, Gackt is definately cooler. Hyde is a different type of cool - he's not as outgoing in the public eye. I think Gackt totally redefined the "Kakkoii"/"Cool" defination.
Anyways, Hyde is in the Making of Moon Child video too. He's such an introvert sometimes! Gackt was going around learning all these languages and eating all kinds of different stuff, but Hyde kept more to himself. I think one of my favorite Hyde videos is Neo Universe. I love that song.

?! L'arc~en~Ciel was never a visual Kei band ... it was the INdies days that hyde had to wear that "white dress" (yknow the one from the blurry eyes video) Visual Kei is like .... Shazna, Malice Mizer etc...
I thoguht this was a forum?! ...its my own opinion so why am i gonna "get it?!"

well...was that really harsh? i don't think that we were really trying to offend you, but yes..i did think L'arc~en~ciel started off as a visual kei band, but really, i'm not getting into this, so consider me wrong, or right, whatever, i was simply pointing out that since you dislike people cross dressing or make up, even if it was their Indies, they still did so...and well, that's all i was getting at.
They said you're going to 'get it' because...well....yes, it's a forum, and i do think we should respect your opinion..and none of us here really insulted you or anything of the sort. But well, it IS a gackt thread...do understand. If someone went into the Hyde thread and said he was really bad...well..you would get a bit defensive too, neh?

Hm, actually, L'Arc~en~Ciel was/is Visual Kei. Malice Mizer was probably one of the more extreme and don't even get me started on Shazna. And, even if L'Arc isn't technically visual kei, they've been categorized that before. *shrug* I don't follow up on L'Arc a whole lot.
And, don't worry about the 'get it' bit, nyemie. Akizuki is one of my closest friends and she's the one that listened to all my ranting about Gackt for months. She knows how defensive I can get when people say things about Gackt.
I do give Hyde credit since his songs aren't half bad (and he sings English a lot better than Gackt does), but... I prefer Gackt's voice. It's deeper, richer, smoother. Plus, Gackt is one funny funny man.
Anyway, anyone seen the latest Beauty Clinic cm by Gackt? Features Gackt ... and a naked woman. o.O I hear it's supposed to be funny but I haven't seen it yet.

linny
06-17-2003, 02:03 AM
*nod* It created quite a buzz within the Gackt fandom community, I believe. I've only seen images.
I think the storyline for the cm is something about Gackt being the perfect man and that lady being the perfect woman. Something about inspecting to see if she really is a perfect woman. >.<
Bah, give me funny E-ma/To Feel the Fire/C-care cms any day.
Chun Li
06-17-2003, 08:01 AM
OMG!! The perfect woman! That's such a hilarious CM... I bet Gackt wasn't too upset at being called the "perfect man." I think he's a little too skinny though.
linny
06-17-2003, 11:09 PM
Just a little. He used to be freakishly skinny, but buff. Nowadays, he's getting a little bit more meat on his bones... Whee. But, his muscle definition definately when done a couple notches.

You know though, I'm a little worried about his health. It seems like he's been too busy, no time to rest a little. Did you hear about the time he fell of the stage? It was so disturbing to read about. o.O
I hope he takes care of himself better. We all love him to bits but that doesn't mean I want him to die of exhaustion or something...

No bashing, but I recommend listening to some of his songs before you make a judgement. Much as Gackt would like us to focus on his looks (because he DOES look good), his music still far outshines whatever else he could do.
So, download a few songs and tell me what you think. ^^

pardon me for asking, but was it him totally naked for one of his mv? i saw the mv while flipping the channel and was flabbergasted to see this naked man on my tv screen.
i've heard about him but has never listen to his songs. i did some search on the net and one of interviews confirms what u all been saying, he's mysterious yet funny. i like this type of man.
the interview i read: http://members.tripod.com/~Super_Cat/popbeat1.html

Hm, I don't think he's been completely naked in one of his mvs before. He's been completely naked in one commercial for Takano Yuri Beauty Clinic commercial, but... that is more or less it.. unless I've been out of the loop for too long.
And yes, Gackt is one of those really mysterious funny people. I like him that way. So interesting. ^^

Have you guys seen Moon Child yet? What do you think of the movie? I was actually rather impressed by Gackt's acting skills, even if he was rather melodramatic.
What about his new album? It has a harder edge to it and is more rockish than his usual stuff. I guess h
e just doesn't fail to please.
-farfie-
linny
02-21-2004, 01:38 AM
Moon Child was ...eh. I still have several issues with it (i.e. Hyde being a vampire and flying all willy-nilly), but yes, I was pretty impressed by Gackt's acting. He doesn't suck! It's INCREDIBLE. XDXDXD Actually, I like his acting in the beginning half of the movie better. Dork Gackt is much more believeable than overly dramatic "EVERYONE I LOVE IS DYING" Gackt. Yer.
And I have heard his new album. Is it just me or does the album sound a little too thrown together? I mean, the songs themselves are great, but I don't really like the order they're in. It just doesn't have a very smooth transition from one song to the next. Plus, he put so many b-sides into this one (and I really did not want Solitary to get in the album).
Has everyone heard it yet? What's your favorite songs?
evenstar_sc
03-05-2004, 09:09 PM
Linny, is Gact's new album called THE SIXTH DAY? Is it a compilation of all his singles?
I haven't heard enough of Gackt to tell but so far I like what I hear, his voice is good...Vanilla, Last Song, Love Song, Secret Garden and Kimi No Tame Ni Dekiru Koto are my favourites so far! I feel another serious obsession blooming.
He seems like a very diverse person and sarcastic. I like his style while he pretends to be cool he's saying the funniest things and the way he tries not to laugh in those DOMOTO and Utaban interviews...lol.
Jrockers tend to go for the melodramatic don't they? I sorta feel like laughing whenever they strike any kind of over dramtic pose. It's just hilarious, I love it.
And did I mention that he is so beautiful? Too beautiful. Hard to believe he's a guy.
XIII Dizzy
03-06-2004, 11:30 PM
Indeed, The Sixth Day is a compilation of many of his singles. I don't like how Gackt has a tendency to re-release things. Like Jyuunigatsu no Love song, there are THREE versions of it.
On Crescent I'd say my favorite songs are probably Mind Forest and Lust For Blood. But then again, I've only listened to it twice so far.
I don't understand how people think Gackt looks like a woman...it just doesn't make any sense to me. In all of vkdom (or ex-vkdom, I should say), he's probably one of the most masculine jrockers (aside from the guys from Luna Sea). But then again, I've seen many androgynous males in my life.
Some jrockers are melodramatic, but many aren't. I've realized that those who are melodramatic during interviews perform earnestly on stage whereas those who act psychotic on stage are pretty tame during interviews.

I was just making a generalization of the JRockers that I've seen so far, to me they seemed a tad melodramatic...apologies if it offended you.
When i first saw a pic of him it seemed obvious that he's a man but I have some friends who don't know who he is, see the pics of Gackt and they'd assume that he's a girl. I'm surprised that they can see a girl when all I see is a guy.
If I were to rationalize it, I suppose it's hard to view things from a different point of view when you've lived with the same mindset for so long. When men should look like men and women look like women. For some it's still hard to accept androgynous looking males. When an idea is fixed into our minds it's hard to change it.
Though I know that Gackt is a man, he still looks feminine to me because I don't have that much exposure to many androgynous looking men.
Ok about MoonChild. I watched this movie when I hadn't even seen pictures of Gackt so I had no idea who Hyde or Gackt was and i still liked it. I thought it was a pretty good movie. Though the whole tortured vampire story has been done before, it had a slight difference when they integrated different morals, and messages into the story. It had it's overdramatic parts (especially towards the end) but it's still acceptable. :)

Oh, not at all. I completely agree that sometimes they're melodramatic, but then again, that's what's so fun about them. If you've ever seen backstage clips of MUCC, or their studio live of Daikirai...it's just...they're so crazy you have to love them.
Well, Moon Child wasn't...bad per say, but it's an average movie. Though I must say I was rather impressed by Gackt's stunts. But I have a feeling that Miyavi's "Oresama" would probably be better.

Me and my friend are seriously considering petitioning him to stop making Juunigatsu songs. I mean, seriously, how many different ways could he possibly remix the thing before it gets annoying? You can kind of tell he's already stretching it a bit far once you listen to the Chinese version. It's quite scary actually. I STILL can't get over how his voice suddenly gets nasal a minute into the song. >.<
And as for Gackt rereleasing things, Gackt 101 in my experiecne: the man oversells everything.
But I happen to like The Sixth Day. The remixes rocks, and sad to say, but I prefer The Sixth Day to Crescent. I suppose it's because the overall feel to The Sixth Day is much more rushed when compared to Crescent. Maybe it's just me.
Some jrockers are melodramatic, but many aren't. I've realized that those who are melodramatic during interviews perform earnestly on stage whereas those who act psychotic on stage are pretty tame during interviews.
SO TRUE! Diru acts insane on stage, but they're so ...normal in interviews. It's quite scary to see the difference. I suppose that proves that as insane as they are onstage, it's still a performance? And I'm sure Gackt tries to be melodramatic, but it never quite flies if you ask me. He just can't help being a dork. XD

03-22-2004, 01:25 AM
Yes! Especially since I understand Chinese, when I was listening to shi er yue de qing ge I was so frightened. Gackt was trying too hard. Especially later when it turned into a contest between him and Leehom to see who can go higher. -_-
Gackt's name has become synonymous with "sellout." But dammit, his tunes are catchy. :shakes fist:
Ahh, yes, when I first saw clips of Dir en grey offstage, I was surprised by how normal and unexciting and ungod-like they are. This is even more true for Kagerou. If you've ever seen their lives...they are just...let's just say that THEY HAVE ISSUES. Especially Daisuke, the vocalist. Even the most experienced of jrock fans would make the comment that he must've forgotten to take his medication. But when they're being interviewed, he speaks calmly and politely and bows. 0_0
About Gackt being a dork. Well, the man tries. But he just can't dance. And apparently no one's told him that yet. Hey, he tries.

This is even more true for Kagerou. If you've ever seen their lives...they are just...let's just say that THEY HAVE ISSUES. 0_0
Yah, see, Diru already kind of keeps me on borderline. I'm a little scared to get into Kagerou. Shall spend time exploring hide, laruku, x japan and miyavi instead. Yer.

HE CAN DANCE! It's just he chooses not too. The dork. Have you ever seen Papa lapped a pap lopped live? Or Lu:na live? THE MAN CAN DANCE! ...When it's choreographed, but still! It's dancing! And it's pretty darn good dancing at that!
And you have to admit, Gackt spazzing around makes for really funny conversation pieces. There have been many times in the past where me and my friend would snicker over his spazzing. Seizure seizure dance never fails to crack me up.
Which makes me come to my point at last. I love Gackt because I can laugh at him. A lot. :D

By Papa lapped a pap lopped live, do you mean the one where he has poofy pants and an army of Gackt clones are dancing with him? Well, I don't know if you can call that dancing...I don't know, after seeing Kirito dance (and that man can truly dance), everything pales in comparison. =P

I'm sorry this might be a little random, but... I have to say it. I just finished downloading Hoshi no Suna, and I have to say...
I love Gackt.
There are so many reasons to love this man, but the most important is his music. I'm so serious. Everyone here can say how much he acts weird, how strange he appears, how he shouldn't wear make-up, how he scares you, but in the end, it's such a small thing to complain about.
Listen to his music. You'll love it. I swear. Forget for a moment all the strange things that scare you. Just... listen to his music. It speaks for itself. It speaks for Gackt.
Sitting here, listening to him softly sing Hoshi no Suna, I get why people love him so. I get why he has fangirls screaming for him every where he goes. His music is just so superb. I was afraid that he had turned pop, that he was forgetting about all the beautiful music he made in the past.
Then, he comes up with these deep beautiful songs like Hoshi no Suna and Tsuki no Uta, and I'm blown away. Gackt is just wonderful.
Okay, so I'm ranting. If you want to hear Hoshi no Suna, go to Dears Community (http://www.livejournal.com/community/dears) and go down a couple entries. Download Hoshi no Suna. It's just... gorgeous. I'll be uploading when I have time, but go download it. I promise, no one who gives it a try will be disappointed.
Hoshi no Suna really is a beautiful song.
I just recently bought the Crescent CD and ive been blown away by that track in particular.
Now i can probably say that thats my FAVORITE Gackt song off of his recent CD.
Its so beautiful, he sounds so emotional when singing it.

his flailing around resembles that of a chicken, dont you think?
i think it's his hair that makes him look like a chicken in that one haha
I have all his albums (i think) and most of his singles, and i think they're very much worth it hehe. oh! i think it's really great when he tries to sing in chinese haha have you ppl heard 十二月的情歌 (december love song) with wang leehom? it's really funny when he tries to pronounce some words and it ends up being all nasaly hehe

don't leave out us guys :-x haha. yea, i totally love his dorkiness, especially when asked about his age and his showering methods. He's totally funny on tv shows cuz he's totally random
I KNOW! Isn't he awesome? He is so random and the things he talks about! He's just a STRANGE man. (And sorry about leaving out the guys; it's my experience the girl numbers practically pummel the guys XD)
So, I guess the question for today is how did everyone get into Gackt?

So, I guess the question for today is how did everyone get into Gackt?
hrmmm well i guess it was a rather slow process for me hehe
one of my friends sent me mizerable once, along with a bunch of w-inds songs, and i was like... meh just another singer i can't understand... then i dled some of his videos and was like.... wtf haha and so slowly i started getting into his music (i think vanilla was my first favorite of his.. that is, until i found out what he was singing about haha) and it's just an obsession that's grown hehe
i'm pretty notorious for spreading gackt stuff to all my friends now hehe, so to actually get them to like him, i send them last song (which is my favorite song of all time! :laughing: ) and then i start sending the more.. "interesting" stuff

WHORING? HOW IS HE WHORING? He isn't THAT bad, is he? You must defend yourself when trying to bandy such crooked words against quite possibly my favorite jrocker of all time!
Calm down, linny, I always use words like that, there's no negative connotation to it whatsoever. In fact, I call all three of the jrockers that I love to bits and pieces "complete and utter sluts." :happy:
And actually, your thinking Gackt-san's dancing is hilarious is a Gackt minion trait.
Yes, well, I can't help but think like a Gackt minion sometimes since I'm surrounded by them day and night (three of my closest friends are Gackt minions) :oops:
And yes, that is how I..."got into" Gackt. My friends all are, so therefore I am. And because he is an amusing man.
As for favorite songs?
At first it was Leeca, because the lyrics are gorgeous. Then it was Secret Garden...oh wait, it's still Secret Garden =P Even though Mind Forest comes pretty close.
On one of my friends' birthday, we went to Koreantown, where a karaoke place had jrock songs (dear god I love them), and we sang Vanilla...or rather, we tried.

03-25-2004, 08:30 AM
You shouldn't have too much trouble. And besides, if Hyde says that Gackt is an alien, then he is an alien.
Which brings me to another question.
Have you guys seen the movie of Hyde and Gackt, Moon Child? Have you heard of it? And most importantly of all, how do you feel about fans who like to indulge in GacktxHyde pairing?
XIII Dizzy
03-26-2004, 05:10 AM
I'm not sure if I answered this already, but Moon Child, from the perspective of a movie-goer, I'd say is pretty bad. The storyline is cliche, the acting (on the part of Hyde anyway) was not...good. The whole English/Chinese/Japanese thing just doesn't work and doesn't make any sense. And there are lots of questions that the movie tried to address (unsuccessfully), like that of why Son decided to stay with Mr. Chen. I mean, it's quite obvious that they were bullies rather than victims in Malapa...
I think the sole basis of GacktxHyde is that Gackt wants to leech off some of Hyde's youth.
-farfie-
wh00shwh00sh
04-01-2004, 02:31 AM
Lol, but Gackt is supposedly younger than Hyde.
anyways, i've seen the movie, not great.
cool cast, but theyre not... actors. XD
and the way it was done.. like how it was just so chunky *one year later, a few months later, etc* didnt work too well with me.
there were some parts that i liked alot, like the part when they wree driving to the beach and gackt was going to kill them all coz of his crappy driving haha, i liked the way that part was filmed.
lets see... i dont really remember who son and mr. chen were. x_x;; care to help me remember? XD
i kinda liked how it had so many different languages. although the movie wasnt grand, its nice to see that theyre all like good friends now. muahahaha *loves the picture of gackt looking like hes in love with lee hom*
linny
04-01-2004, 02:39 AM
Son is Leehom in the movie and Mr. Chen is the Taiwanese mobster boss that he protects. The movie itself isn't the greatest, but it amuses me. XD~ Seriously, dork!Gackt is funny. Especially when he's SKIPPING. Ahaha.
And about Gackt leeching off Hyde's youth. That may in fact be true. But the two don't seem to be hanging a lot a lot now that the Moon Child buzz is slowly dying, so maybe it's no longer true.
Okay, the one question on my mind is do you guys think Gackt would ever have a chance with Hyde if he wasn't married? It just cracks me up because I feel bad for Gackt. It's such a one-sided adoration sort of thing.
XIII Dizzy
04-01-2004, 08:26 AM
Are we to take this question seriously? Because Gackt's just playing around. Even if we were to say that he adores Hyde, it's admiration rather than...love.
I don't know, to me Gackt's not very good at pulling off the gay thing.
-farfie-
wh00shwh00sh
04-02-2004, 05:44 AM
Lol, does anyone know Hyde's actual height?
i found some places saying that hes 5 feet 2 and his wife is five feet five. that just kinda cracks me up.
actually, i love how short he is.
although i cant say anything. im barely five feet tall. ^^;;
anyways, i dont know...
hyde and gackt are rather adorable together though, like those pics when gackt is carrying hyde on his shoulders. how sweet. XD :excited: :laughing:
evenstar_sc
04-02-2004, 06:47 AM
I've seen some pics of Hyde and his wife and yes he looks shorter than she is. I like that he's short tho he's still taller than me.
ok I've just recently got into Gackt and his music. I think it was eventual with all the mention of Gackt everywhere...I just figured I'd try out a few songs and I really liked what i heard. The first fansite i went to was linny's site Cube...it had a guide to Gackt section. Which was pretty helpful.
The first thing I found out from most Gackt fansites was how hilarious, sarcastic and dorky he acts. Then i dloaded some interviews, namely the translated Utaban ones and found out it was so true. Even in the non-translated interviews you could see that he was always getting the biggest laughs from the audience. Gackt gives me the impression that what he says during interviews has to be taken with a pinch of salt...
Favourite songs so far are Fragrance, Secret Garden, Vanilla, Kimi no tameni dekiru Koto. Fragrance if firmly my fav Gackt song.
About linny's question: I don't know about their history...but I don't think Hyde or Gackt would want a chance with each other. If Hyde were to miraculously change into a girl, maybe Gackt would have a go but that's not gonna happen.
I think they work well together as in the case of MoonChild and Orange no Taiyou. There seems to be a mutual admiration between them. They seem to be pretty good friends.

haha, ive read that gackt has a "love" for hyde. something about hyde being all that he wants in a woman.

*fangirlyness*
nah, i doubt theyd do well together.
im more of gackt/leehom pairing because of this picture: http://img8.photobucket.com/albums/v26/sariaya/gakuleehom.jpg (yes gackt's pants and lee hom's jacket are horrific but lets not pay attention to that. pay attention to the look of love on their faces!! XD)

Ahh, let's not even go to Vivian Hsu! >.< She's such a slut, not only is she "friends" with Gackt, she's done stuff with Sugi also!

Because of that, my respect for the man dropped by miles.
Anyhow, Hyde has a movie coming out this fall, called "Last Quarter" based on a manga by Yazawa Ai called "Kagen no tsuki."

Wait, your respect for Gackt or Sugizo? (Because Vivian was in a pv for Gackt and their interaction was pretty non-existent. And she doesn't act like a slut at all in the pv and I can't compare against anything she's done with Sugizo since I haven't seen anything of them together. Yer.)
And I don't like any pairings. I personally think Gackt is going to die a bachelor. Or at the very least, he will profess his undying love for You (again), but they're just best friends so that doesn't count either. Whatever. I stick to my Gackt will die a bachelor theory.
XIII Dizzy
04-07-2004, 03:46 AM
My respect for Sugi, that is. If his stuff with THE SPANK YOUR JUICE doesn't so own the pop-loving side of my soul and if Super Love PV didn't amuse me so much, I wouldn't even call him "Sugi" anymore and will reduce to the cold "that man that used to be called walking sex and played guitar for LUNA SEA."
Actually, Hsu and Sugi had almost no interaction in her "ta ta" PV either. But just the fact that he was in it irritated me. She never openly acts like a slut, I don't know, maybe I'm just...jealous. =P
I give the "Gackt will die a bachelor" theory a thumbs up.

I KNOW! Isn't it SO TRUE? You can just TELL. It's somewhat depressing. I lobby for him to get a girlfriend and just get married. The man seriously has fears of procreating. O.o
XIII Dizzy
04-07-2004, 07:59 AM
I highly doubt Gackt would be happy with the idea of staying with one woman for the rest of his life. His leather pants are meant for all to grope with equal lovingness.
And if he gets a girlfriend now, he'll lose much of that sex appeal that he has over women all over the world.
-farfie-
linny
04-07-2004, 05:29 PM
Do you really think so? I mean, many Jrockers are datings/married and it hardly seems out of the ordinary. Would many fans really be so upset if he got a girlfriend? To me, the sex appeal is still there. XD~
But then again, I'm not one of the hopefuls who dreams of flying to Japan and making him fall in love with me. O.o;;

Personally I don't mind the pairings it makes it more interesting. I'd hate to admit it but I agree he'll prob end up a bachelor for the rest of his life unless he finds someone willing to put up with the his eccentic aristocrat image...

He's a natural dork then. I thought that clip of him falling was hilarious. He fell off the stage during allnightnippon show too...and got up and sang like nothing happened. I'm not sure if it's good showmanship or he's just used to it. I thought he was breathing quite heavily before he fell off the stage and after, he was practically having an asthma attack. It's amazing he still managed to sing at all.
Gackt's voice is one of the few voices I've heard which sounds as good live as in the studio. Eg. the hanashitakuwanai clip. No lip-syncing there.
Btw does Gackt ever lip-sync during lives?
XIII Dizzy
04-09-2004, 05:49 AM
He actually SAID that? WHERE? :excited:
It was probably ripped off the "making of" part of the MOON CHILD DVD set. Him, the girl who plays Yi Che, and the guy who plays his bodyguard (recall the scene from the movie where the black bodyguard tells the Gackt who is holding his daughter, "It's time, boss.") were watching a clip on TV or something. Then all of the sudden he turns to the black guy and goes, "Kiss me." And the girl laughs and claps her hands and says, "yeah, do it!" and the black guy's all like, "No!"

You know of all j-rockers, Gackt is probably one of the more masculine. He could NEVER pull off looking like a girl, while there are others who look like dead ringers if they dress up like 'em.

After viewing some other J-rockers pics and comparing them to Gackt. I agree. I've seen vids of Hyde looking more like a woman than Gackt ever could. Gosh hyde looks positively pretty as a woman. Mana the charismatic robotic doll from Malice Mizer looks really good too.
People have a right to their opinion, when I show my friends his vids or pics, they're either fascinated or appaled. Whatever it is, it definitely gets a reaction.
Isn't Gackt releasing another album this month?
The 7th Night with accoustic versions of some of his songs. I'm really interested to hear what he comes up with after this release.

I am too. I haven't been obsessing very much about Gackt because he's currently doing the touring months which means minimal release of new songs, but The Seventh Night might prove to be interesting. I really want to hear Papa lapped a pap lopped acoustic.
Do you think he'll finally get over the whole Moon Project or will he revert back? I'm really excited to see what he released after Seventh Night because, well, we haven't heard anythign that wasn't Moon related in awhile, right? =D

I think the vampire in the Moonchild movie was Hyde and Gackt was the vampires friend. :happy:
Do you think he'll finally get over the whole Moon Project or will he revert back? I'm really excited to see what he released after Seventh Night because, well, we haven't heard anythign that wasn't Moon related in awhile, right? =D
I think he will eventually, I mean, he can't live on one idea and keep on developing it. It'll be too redundant. I'm sure all his fans would rather he close the Moon project and start on a new one. I'm not quite sure how long the Moon project has been going on tho' but from what I've learnt it's been a few years.
Btw the 7th Night accoustic album is brilliant. It really highlights his wonderful vocals and composing skills. My favs would definitely be Mind Forest, kimi no tameni dekiru koto and last song. Not that the others are no less brilliant. :wink2:

I only know him through the movie "Moon Child" starring of course Gackt , Hyde and LeeHom..... not bad a movie .....He wasn't a vampire until the very end of the movie....
He acted quite funny in movie..... but i guess in real life he's kinda quiet... Man of few words ...... saw him a few jap variety shows..... quiet .. cool... that's him..... n very stylo..

for some reason everytime i watch him on a variety show he reminds me of Bae Yong Jun. He's funny though and he don't mind talking about sexuality. he speaks his mind. moon child is still in a way confusing to me. i don't think is has a very clear/strong plot. one thing's interesting for sure...gackt's character. Hyde was kinda stiff when it comes to acting. GOSH! G's talented!

I like Gackt's voice, but he looks too much like a woman for my taste. My friend loves him and bought this really expensive calender featuring him. I thought he was good in Moon Child, that movie seemed to suit his personality. I also liked him when he was with Malice Mizer. Saw this funny clip of him a few months back, he was on this Japanese talk show and he was saying how he doesn't like to work out, so instead he does this one move that he learned from the Matrix in the shower. haha, then everybody was trying to imitate him. Pretty funny. Anyone else seen this clip?

Gackt has an incredible voice but he's a big unusual...I really like his songs and its a good thing I can't understand all of it. I mean, he doesn't seem to mind people thinking he's gay, not to mention how much he enjoys crossdressing...^^;;

GACkT is pretty good, but MIYAVI is AWESOME. No offense, I personally prefer miyavi over gackt ANYDAY... and jay over miyavi =DD

Gackt doesn't actually crossdress half as much as people seem to think he does. Even when he was in Malice Mizer, he played the role of the prince, meaning for the majority of the time, he was dressed as a man (no matter how feminine he looked). And to be honest, I can only remember maybe a handful of photoshoots/instances where he crossdressed, and none that are very recent.
And people thinking Gackt is gay - it's actually an advantage for him that his sexuality is ambiguous. Yaoi fangirls love the mystery and the possibility that he's gay. In general, Japan is more accepting of sexual orientation than a lot of other places, so I guess it's not that big a deal. Oo.
And BE THANKFUL you don't understand his lyrics. He's a great musician, but his lyrics all have the same general line to them - at least, quite a few of the recent ones do. Even without translations, you can tell just by listening that he likes the word "dakishimete" and "kimi no/ga/etc."
As for Gackt vs. Miyavi, to each their own, I suppose? I like both of them, but for different reasons. Miyavi's sort of a spazz/dork who's really wild and crazy, and Gackt's sort of an older, more elegant man. It's evident even in their music how different they are. I never could listen to Miyavi for a very long time, even though I love all his ADD tendencies and his crazy hair. XD~

I love Gackt! He's my favorite Japanese singer. He's so awesome! I do agree with linny though. A lot of his songs seem a lot alike. Maybe that's why I like them. Because I like one of his songs...so I like them all. :D
He is pretty different from Miyavi too. Miyavi is crazier. I do like Miyavi though. He has some really cool songs. :happy: But I still like Gackt more. Gackt will always be my favorite. :love: LOL!

Actually, I just recently heard about this myself. You can read a little more about it at Sari's LJ (http://www.livejournal.com/~gakuhai). I was really excited about hearing they're using him as a model for a character since so many people say so often that people like Squall were modeled after him. XD

12-10-2005, 07:24 PM
Hrm.... *deep thinking*
I know everyone just LOVES Gackt's voice. But I still need a few moments to get used to his voice everytime I heard his new songs. Not that I didn't like his voice, but I need time to get used to it. Not everyday you heard a voice that is so thick and deep.
But then, I'm so used to Hyde's voice.
Right now I'm into Black Stone (reminds me of that band in Nana, Blast) and the all time faovurite, Vanilla.
See my username? LOL. :D No, I didn't choose my name for the sake of that song

I got into Gackt's music when I heard Last Song, which will always be my all time favorite. But I also like Vanilla, and Another World. Though I believe that the instrumentals for Black Stone sound similar to Another World if not exactly alike. But because of that, I like Black Stone. Though Gackt's hair is really creepy in that PV and he tends to head bang in it too.

Oh one of his Utaban interviews haha its so funny and weird.. and hes so opened about it too lol
my laptop was broken a few weeks ago, and now I only have half of his songs and interviews/shows. it was heartbreaking ><;
I dont think the black stone and another world sound familar, there's a rock-like feeling to it..but other than that, its not that similar
i also got into gackt because of "last song" XD I saw it at the 54th kouhaku sogn festival which made me into a fan of gackt since. :D
blkfirestrm
01-16-2006, 02:08 AM
Lol, Gackt is really open on the Utaban episodes. They nicknamed him the "Pork Belly Aristocrat", which I found to be quite funny. Then there's the fact that he tries soo hard to do dead-pan humor, which I must applaude him for. If I tried to do it, I'd end up cracking up before I ended up saying what I wanted to say.
And I feel realy bad for you....if my computer crashed I'd most likely end up dieing. (I really should back-up my files....)
But I guess that you have a point about Black Stone and Another World having a similar feel to it. My first impression of Black Stone was..."Was he feeling uninspired that day? It sounds like [/i]Another World[/i]." But I wish that I had the instrumental version of Another World to compare it to. (I already have the instrumental to Black Stone)

Have I mentioned I'm SO GLAD that the cornrolls + long curly extensions are gone? They freaked me out. I love the man, I think he's a beautiful human being, but sometimes, I think he has really bizarre fashion sense when it comes to his hair. And I don't know. It's weird thinking he's only 30 when he seems so old.
Redemption and Longing are very solid singles indeed. I don't know, I'm kind of sitting here waiting for the man to bust out an uncontrol or even a seki-ray. It feels like his music is heading more towards a flatter, more infused style, which works, but has a tendency to make his songs blur together. It was actually really hard for me to differentiate between Redemption and Longing because Longing felt like a faster, harder extension of Redemption. I guess I'm just waiting for that one rock song that will make me do a double take. o_o;
AND THANK YOU FOR THE PICTURES~ I'm loving the covers of Newsmaker and Oricon Style. *_*

Ah my god...thank you soo much for saying that he took out the cornrows. When I first looked him up for information on his Redemption single, pictures of him with cornrows popped out and I almost died. They don't look good on him, I hope he doesn't give fans heart attacks (and the bad ones at that) like that again.
But I really like the hat he has on for the Oricon Style cover!!! But his clothes in that cover look good in general.

To those who love Gackt....
I've put the Redemption album and music video download in the Download section, man that was hard to find.
Hmmm, in that Dirge of Cerberus game, if you manage to collect three or more G-Reports you will unlock a special ending with a character named "G" on it (yes it's Gackt, obviously). I haven't played that game though, I'm still waiting for the US version. This game has sparked debates now about who is cooler: Cloud or Vincent?
I'm thinking about dyeing my hair yellow like Gackt in my avatar, but it probably won't look good on me... :oops:

The Square guys certainly have a thing for Gackt. He's singing the theme song "Redemption" for their latest game Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus and is also a featured hidden character there.

I don't know when did Gackt had the yellow hair but the brown hair "Squall" Gackt was in his Mizerable days.

If you've watched FFVIII's ending you'll know the connection with Mizerable right away.

I actually took a long time to figure out what you are talking about. The last time I played FFVIII was... years ago. So I watch the ending on youtube and you are right, it was really really similar.
Who needs Squall when we have Gackt? LoL.
The question is, who is copying who? Gackt always insist that Squall was potrayed on him, and the Square people denied it. Hmmm...
But Gackt-sama! I'm siding with you!

vk is a style of JROCK. It stands for Visual Kei. And they're focused on wearing heaps of make up, wear "weird" clothes. It's not weird, but for people who are not used to it, thye might think it is weird and girly.
Gackt is great! He is very funny, I love it the way he hides his smile! So adorable, even though that term wouldn't be appropriate for him considering his age..

I know it's an old clip, but do you guys know where Shingo mama pretends to kiss Gackt? Gackt was sitting at the back, and shingo mama is at the front. Then, shingo mama made "her" lips like she was kissing gackt - since the camera's angle made it look real.

with gackt's extremely heavy make-up, he can be mistaken for quite a young guy.
but there's something about his face. i think it's his cheekbones or something, that tell me he's older..

Actually if I am not mistaken he speaks French too. Which is good cause if for what ever reason I meet him we can speak French together :tongue:
He is so handsome though, your right something about his face, its mature but attractive it makes him look not necessarily old in a bad way. Also I have to say his cheeks are very female like, so are his eyes, ahh I am talking in circles.

Cardcaptor Stacey: if i hear good reviews for it, i think i'll watch it! ^^
of course! gackt can speak tons of languages, and he can play nine instruments! =D
i heard a short clip of him saying english, but all he said was "i'm tired." lol, but i didn't detect a think accent. =) oh, and yes, he speaks french. i saw a commercial with him speaking in french, and the comments said it sounded extremely thick.
i think his mom is half french?
if he didn't have so much makeup on, and had a normal "guy hairstyle," i don't think people would think he was feminine.

Whoa actually he does have a bit of a heavy accent, I had a hard time understanding it, I had to play it twice to understand it clearly. He just doesn't announciate and mumbles a bit.
xanimeotakux
10-14-2006, 06:06 AM
his thick accent is so..thick? XD that i mistaked it for japanese. that is, until i read the comments and all these users were posting in french and some posted that he was speaking in french. XD
ah, what's new with our lovely gackt?

Awesome.

hey vampires are pretty cool, if i was to be any kind of mythical creature then itd be a vampire.
or spiderman.
but spiderman isnt a mythical creature...so it'll have to be vampire. i knew gackt ever since we were young, in the 15th century.
oh the good times, stalking pretty young girls at night, biting their luscious necks and drinking some of that sweet, warm blood. too bad theres child abuse and sexual assualt laws now...

I've watched all the clips and commercials reene uploaded! GOSH I LOVE THEM! Esp the showering part!! He's such a funny guy.. Whenever i see Final Fantasy now i think of him. :love: I love his song Vanilla!
His features are so perfect... There's just something special 'bout his eyes! I wanna buy his albums! But i'm not sure whether Sg still haves.
Curious though, is he really naked for the CM?
laruku
07-13-2007, 09:15 AM
^ yes. Totally. Fully. 100% naked.
I am trying to find some backstage videos.. where well.. I can see more stuff than what's on the commercials damnit!

07-13-2007, 10:13 AM
ooh reene, your so dirty. I heard that he likes to take naked photos of him holding his dick. haha he seems like a funny person but I find it weird of him saying he is like 41584651651654 years old and is a vampire. I also heard his mother sent him in some mental hospitial because he drowned or something and said something that scared her.
haha gackt :D
