It was at all night nippon

Thanks

Yes it is... I saw it at Blockbuster a week ago. Meiki got the title right =)

OMG *faint* must buy that game

Did you watch his "Uha Mikakuto" CM?
http://www.uha-mikakuto.com/cm/main.html
Click " Movie".

I like the one he is taken by two black men

I heard his real name is " Satoru Okabe".

Is Satoru the given name or the family name?

Satoru is a typical japanese first name.

I think he does have plastic sugery. His face is pulled so far back that whenever he laughs it scares me (like his cheeks would just burst open or something).

I'm not a fan.

Bujingai is a very very STUPID game btw.

He's hot and I love his voice! I don't remember any of his songs though. I haven't listened to him in many years.

please don't come in here then

Why? Only people who likes him or his fans can come in this thread? I didn't say anything bad or rude. Just stating an opinion in a civil way.

True and i respect you for it! but there is not really any point to it right? only to enduce and argument

Have you seen the Gackt dancing picture? It's so funny (he's kind of a funny guy) 2

??? Yes,he is funny. He is popular ,because he is very funny.

he is gay ??

HJAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Who here is getting DIABOLOS?

I am!!!! *jumps up and down*

Diabolos Rockz

hmm im sorry but i seriously dun see the difference in his so called "nose job"
it looks exactly the same..jsut less fat! n u can definitely lose weight from ur nose..it happend to me! n i didnt get plastic surgery!

gackt survives deadly fall

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=triNRqfLmCE...ch=gackt%20fall

Hahaha! But he seems to be all right though... lol

He always seems to fall doesn't he? e.g. in the playground once. :p

what a great looking girl but wait aaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh she is a he oh my god 2

,

You like girly men?

,

I'm not hating, he just has crap hair and looks girly

yeah. looks like girl.

,

Gackt is hot.

However, that middle picture of him at the top looks like Jennifer Lopez...

Gackt is a f@g and he is very brokeback. he should go burn in hell...

Despite his style, the guy is actually smart.

He is aware of current events and political stuffs that is going on between Japan/Korea/China than any other japanese celebrities out there.

I don't know why people diss Gackt...I think he has a very unique style...

here's a piece of the interview

Translation of Fresh Sound Hokkaido interview~


Translation of Fresh Sound Hokkaido interview, broadcast on November 21, 2005. Thanks to sweiled for suggesting the article and for all her help with this translation!

...........

Q: Gackt's songs are (about) loss, (things) beyond reach and feelings that are in conflict; it's romantic love[10] isn't it.

A: Because I am honest[11]. I am more honest[11] than you would expect, even as you see me like this. I am more straightforward than you would expect. We'll, I've been in some good love relationships[10], you know.

Q: I'm envious.

A: Really? Go have a good love relationship[10].

Q: I do have such feelings, you know.

A: No no no no, it's no good just having such feelings. The most important thing is your actions[12]. It's like, "Take a chance!"[13] In any case, no matter how many times you fail[14], and it seems that all is lost, something new will be borne from that (experience). You know, everyone spends too much time imagining failure[14] before it even occurs.

Q: (We) think too much with our minds.

A: That's right. I wonder how many people have failed[14] after really going all out. I think it's good to go on and fail[14] right to the very end. It seems that, whether in matters of love, or work, their own dreams, or anything, there are many people who do things only half-way. I think (people) should find methods that move them forward, by being more reckless[8]; by acting first before thinking, and then planning (the next step) according to the result of those actions. The mind is too theoretical, (and you start to think) won't I fail in this way, won't it have a dramatic effect in this way, won't it cause trouble in this way, won't that cause me unhappiness, won't I get hurt. All of that is just guessing. Well, coming from me though, I'm an amateur. Isn't it just a matter of seriously going all out?

Q: For next year, plans for full scale activities in countries other than Japan have come into sight. What kind of year do you think it will be?

A: We're planning a tour, starting with Korea and including Taiwan, China and other countries. It's been roughly determined now. And from there, we're preparing a wonderful present for everyone once again. I think the first half of next year will be quite busy. And after that, our activities are still a secret.

Comments by your translator

150 pull-ups seems like an awful lot. @@ Everytime he mentions doing push-ups and pull-ups and all the training, I feel really lazy. ^^;; Last year I resolved to exercise more, and I failed. This year I didn't make any resolutions. XD Hmm, but I do get the feeling that when Gackt is involved, he could make even things like physical training a lot of fun.

I struggled with translating the whole "good love relationship" part for quite a while, and still don't feel satisfied about how it sounds. :\ When he says "good", it's more of a feeling of a love that is fulfilling. A love that was worthwhile, even though the relationship failed. I guess I lack that experience... is that good or bad?

I love the part where he talks about going all out for love, work, dreams, etc. In matters of love, going all out is the only answer, isn't it? For me, I got sick of not getting what I wanted, so I went for it (and got it ^^). But in terms of work, dreams, etc., I feel very much like I am one of those people who do things only half-way. I'm really conscious of that because Gackt always reminds me how much he doesn't like that kind of mindset. ^^; *prepares to move forward*

I do hope the people in Korea, Taiwan and China accept him and treat him like one of their own. For this dream of his to come true, to unite Asia through music, he needs the help of all Asians. It must be frustrating for him to feel like he has no borders within himself, but then getting resistance from all around when he tries to break down those.........

maybe cuz you never had real man that's why peace

^ hush you anyways. gackt is: to me at least.

hmm, Gackt is quite a man, really

INT: Interviewer
G: Gackt

INT: Tell me about your times of falling in love?
G: Last summer, when I went to Los Angeles, I fell in love with a young girl. She was working at the restaurant of the hotel. She had stylish blonde hair, very beautiful. She also had a nice voice to listen to; when I talked to her I felt excited and nervous *laughs* Even though usually when I talk to women I don't get stressed.
INT: And did you ask her out?
G: No, because I only met her one day before I had to come back to Japan. Before I came back, I actualy stopped by the restaurant but she had taken the day off. In the end, I came back to Japan without contacting her. It's so painful. I wish I knew ahead of time that I'd meet such a cute person *laughs* My loves are like that, it's so sad...
INT: How are your feelings when you fall in love?
G: If I were to fall in love now, it wouldn't be passionate as in, I love you! Love! Love! Or something like that. I used to be like that though, like I would forget about the world *laughs* But...if it's like that then one can't work well. I don'think it's good for fans to see us so infatuated with love. No matter how much you like her, the best thing to do is to study each other's hearts calmly.

INT: Tell me about your flirting techniques?
G: There are men who like to flirt with women; if they see someone they like then they just have to flirt. But...a man who cannot flirt with a woman means that he wants to love her. He likes flirting as though it is a game. It's fun; it's exciting; he wants to know if women will fall for him. It's a way of checking how much charm you have. I used to feel that way. I would automatically start flirting when I meet a woman I like. The result is me waking up the next morning with her by my side in my bed *laughs* But...now that I've thought about it, people who see love as a game haven't grown that much. I understand that well now.
INT: How do you feel about women in this era?
G: If I were to meet a woman whom I feel is good, I won't hesitate walking forward at all *laughs* That kind of habit hasn't changed at all from before even now. But...women whom I feel is good have decreased, I think.
INT: Why do you think that is so?
G: Maybe it's because the more you grow up, the more you understand women. So you become more picky and more strict in criticizing them. Another thing is that good women are actually decreasing in reality. All the good women my age have all gotten married. Only a few of them are single.
INT: That's true. And what type of women you don't like at all?
G: I don't like women who look down at their own boyfriends. I don't like that the most; to be looked down at by a woman, and not given any respect. If a man can still sit there and smile, I wouldn't feel sorry for him. He's being looked down at but still allows it. I think that man should re-examine his worth.

INT: So you like women who are followers?
G: Giving respect and being a leader or a follower are not related. I don't mean that you have to give men respect because they're leaders. If we're talking about this aspect, a woman should listen to the man she loves. It's a type of trust. Like asking for someone's opinions. If you trust that person, you will feel that their opinion is good. In the act to of listening, if you look at it carefully, no one is the leader or the follower; but it's trust they have in one another.

INT: Do you think money and love are related?
G: There are men who think that if they have money, women will fall in love with them easily. There are women who think that money is the most important thing because it will make love good. But I think people who think that way are very pathetic. Say, a man likes a women; he buys her a brand name purse, and she thinks, "You buy everything for me, you're so kind!" so she agrees to date him. Buy me everything! So kind! What!? Is that how kindness is measured? People who love but have never experienced the feeling of liking someone...it's so intolerable; it aches. You can't sleep at night because you like her so goddamn much but you don't have the courage to tell her. It's so painful and you suffer. If you love but don't experience that kind of emotion, I think it's very pitiful. You can buy a brand name purse with money, but you can't buy those kinds of feelings with money. Nowadays, everything is too easy.
INT: Such as?
G: Before, there was no e-mail. If you wanted to confess to someone, you had to think about what to say. You get nervous. Nowadays, if you meet a woman you like and you're interested in her, all you have to do is ask for her e-mail address, then tap into the computer, "I like you. Please go out with me?" And press send. You don't get to see her face when she finds out that she's loved. You don't hear her voice. You don't see anything. But actually, it's really important that you do. You can find out how she feels about you by observing her face, her eyes, and her looks. But nowadays, that importance has become lost. I think it's a real shame. If you really like a woman, then you should go through some trials as to how to confess your feelings to her. If you want a good love, then you have to suffer. I think that, that is a very special type of suffering.

INT: Sex and love?
G: Humans are very low when it comes to that. Nowadays, people don't search for love; they search for sex. They use sex as a way of restraining someone. The more you do it, the less worth there is. A woman who sleep with someone just because she likes him a little, I think...is so not interesting at all. There is no worth in her. No matter how many love experiences they go through, that type of people will never grow up. Teenagers like to think that if they have sex, they'll be an adult. That type of thinking is completely wrong. The same goes with men. If he only runs after sex, he will never grow up and will never know the true worth of love.
INT: When people date each other, it's only normal that they fight. What do you think about that?
G: When guys fight, all they have to do is punch each other out, then it's over. But when you fight with a woman, it's so tiring *laughs* When women get mad, they become very theoretical. I'm not saying this to look down at women but when I fight with a woman, she always talks about old things over and over again. She digs back to ancient history and talks about it. If it comes to that, I would say "I'm leaving." But then she would get mad and say that she's not done talking yet, how can I leave already? I would leave because she's mad, and I don't want to talk to her. She would lash back again, saying that how can I leave when she's mad. Then I'd explain that I'm leaving because she's mad, and when people are mad they would say bad things. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to lose my feelings for her. I don't want to hate her. I'd talk to her after she calms down. Then she'd lash back again and say that she is calm! *laughs* That's what women are like.

INT: Last question, how do you feel about women who cheat?
G: There are two possible circumstances. If she cheats on me without telling the other guy that she has me, I won't blame the guy and I won't blame her. I would re-evaluate myself. I'm probably not charming enough for her, not good enough for her so she turned to someone else. But...if she tells the other guy about me and they agree to see each other, then it would be like both she and the guy is looking down at me. Then we would have to talk.

Really good job on translatin'. This was a very interestin' read.

I hate to admit it, but he's right 'bout the way women fight...I'm seriously tryin' to cut it out b/c I'm beginnin' to annoy myself. When we have class arguments discussions, all the girls tend to go 'round and round sayin' the same thin', but louder b/c we want to be the right ones. -_-;

I do believe Gackt-sama's all grown up.

Oh interesting! thankyou i like the bit where he fell in love with the girl in LA. haha, it's nice to know that a girl can make him nervous too. too bad he didnt get to know her better before he left ~_~ and the bit on quarelling, thats so true about us women XD

it's so intolerable; it aches. You can't sleep at night because you like her so goddamn much but you don't have the courage to tell her.

ouch. im sure hes speaking from experience. // and im definitely the kind of girl who listens to her man.. not bcuz hes the leader but as what Gackt said, it's a form of trust. wow, i liked the way he put it. he equalizes both sex

then it would be like both she and the guy is looking down at me. Then we would have to talk.

it's nice to know that hes not the *RAWR* impulsive kinda guy! ^__^ it's true that a guy has to re-evaluate himself when his girlfriend cheats on him.

All the good women my age have all gotten married. Only a few of them are single.

Theres always me XDDDDDDD;;

Thankyou for translation! this was a really sweet article

Thank you for such a great translation! ^^ It's always great getting to read his personal feelings on such matters, these types of interviews are some of my favorites.

"All the good women my age have all gotten married. Only a few of them are single."

I swear that I say that very same thing substituting men for women about 50000 times a day.

No words to say to that except for the fact that I am in 100% total agreement. ^^ I love the answer that he gave here. Very very true. These are the words of a grown and mature man.

lol... he is so cute! I imagined that was how it usually is for him, what girl could resist his charms... XD
Damn him for saying that he fell in love with a blond in LA! that should have been me!! *is blond and lives in LA*.... lol... XD
And I love the part where he talks about how women fight, its so funny and so true! I used to do that too but since I became aware of it I realized its better to give ppl space when they need it. I dont like feeling trapped or cornered, so I must respect the man just the same.
Thanx so much for posting these!

Thank you so much for this wonderful translation ^^

Everything he tells here is so true. I love his approach he has on things such as love, and his passion for music and his goals in life.
The email issue he was talking about, it's great to finally see a man living these days that is aware of that. Guys don't have the guts anymore to say anything to you're face; same goes for breaking up with someone: they send an email with 'it's over' and I think, those are such cowards.

Teenagers like to think that if they have sex, they'll be an adult.
100% agreement here. Most people my age also think, that if they've done it, they are accepted in the group, that people can't look at them anymore as if they have no experience with anything. I don't want to end up doing it with someone just so I can talk about it with them, so I can be considered more adult. Because it doesn't. I want to wait for someone who really loves me, and I appreciate him for saying that so clear in this interview.

If she cheats on me without telling the other guy that she has me, I won't blame the guy and I won't blame her. I would re-evaluate myself. I'm probably not charming enough for her, not good enough for her so she turned to someone else.
Why is it that you can't find these kind of men here *_* it's so sweet, but sometimes this way of thinking isn't good. There are many women who have more boyfriends around the same time, just because they want to have lots of sex. You can see though, that he really appreciates women about how they are and how they handle things, and won't immediatly pick a fight or cause more problems.

Arigatou again ^^

Loved it thank you so much for sharing it, I completely agree with him in everything. Why would you think we would bash him though ? hehehe the only part he sounds self-absorbed is when he says a woman would wake up next to him the next day, but he's an idol, of course he'd get girls all the time, it's only logic XP

Hmmm, I just posted and then when I went to send it, it disappeared. Let me try again:

This interview is so incredible, that words fail me in expressing how I feel about it. It is a gift. I agree with about 99% of everything he says here and I have had these kinds of conversations with friends, men and women, and I have expressed the same feelings on these topics. I'm not patting myself on the back, but it feels good to know that someone I respect as a person and an artist such as Gackt, to know that he could understand these important sentiments in the same way as I do. Well, it feels good. Truly, it's a gift to read these very genuine and thoughtful ideas from him. But even if I didn't agree as much as I do, I would still feel appreciative towards him. It sounds corny but he is really sharing his heart and this is a brave thing to do. Thank you, Atrandum!! You lit up my day.

Translation of Oricon Website Interview 09-2005





...................

...........

It's going to be a Tokyo Dome live that no one has done before in the past!

Q: Immediately following the release of the album is the amazing 26-city, 36 performance nationwide tour, followed by the eagerly awaited Tokyo Dome performance!

A: You know, it's going to be a Tokyo Dome live that no one has done before in the past!

Q: Aa, are you making such a declaration[4]?

A: I declare it[4]. As for the stage, there's no doubt; and even as to the sound, it won't be the same kind as seen in the past.

Q: So the vision of the Tokyo Dome live has already become clear in your mind?

A: But I can't say it yet, you know (laughs). I'm thinking of something that, if the staff heard it, they'd say "Is this something that can be done?" For me, this album is that way, as are the lyrics, the tour and Tokyo Dome, and it's because I am thinking about it as one, total "story".

Q: Creating the work is like writing a scenario for a drama or movie, isn't it.

A: That's what I think. It's like thinking of a story for a movie and then turning it into a reality. And we practically made a movie.

Q: Speaking of movies, have you recently seen any good movies?

A: As for something recent, there's the movie I saw just a few minutes ago... I unexpectedly[5] started to cry (laughs).

Q: You mean just a few minutes ago???

A: Well, in the car on the way over here, someone played the DVD "Ima, Ai Ni Yukimasu"[6] (laughs).

Q: You shed tears by watching "Ima, Ai"? (laughs)

A: That's right (laughs). I myself even thought "It can't be!?" When we reached the studio, the back of my sunglasses were overflowing with tears and I couldn't get out of the car (laughs).

Q: Again, it's extremely surprising... you were KO'd by a romance film weren't you? (laughs)

A: Right? (laughs) But you know, I thought it was a really wonderful Japanese love movie. That would be impossible for Hollywood! And Nakamura Shido-kun's performance was wonderful. (while gazing far off into the distance) Co-starring together in that wonderful love movie, and then to have married...[7]

Q: And it makes you really accept their marriage[8] (laughs).

A: You can say it's accepted, but in a way, it's breaking the rules![8] (laughs) And then there's the Orange Range song "Hana"[9] that's...

Q: So, to conclude, send a message to the fans who are waiting anxiously for the album.

A: For the album, and the tour, and Tokyo Dome, it's like "Keep your neck clean and wait!"[10] (laughs) I have confidence that everyone's expectations will be exceeded and that you will all be pleased.

[6] "Ima, Ai Ni Yukimasu": The English title for this movie is “Be With You”. It's a romantic drama that was based on a novel and released in Japan in 2004. Here's the official website and the IMDB page.
[7] The lead actor and actress in "Ima, Ai" got married in real life! Thanks to sweiled for that info, and for all the help on the "Ima, Ai" content!
[8] The question and answer are a little confusing, but this is my interpretation. I think the interviewer is saying that you can readily accept the marriage of the two characters because they eventually married in real life. I think Gackt's answer is that it's true you can accept it, but it's breaking the rules for an actor and actress to fall in love on set.
[9] Shameless plug for Orange Range: go listen to “Hana”, it's good!
[10] "kubi wo aratte matterou!": this literally means "wash your neck and wait!", but after doing some research, I found that this is an old samurai saying. You would tell someone to keep their neck clean because the following day it would meet with a sword. In this context, I think he is saying the experience is going to be quite intense, so you better be ready for it!

Hehehehe... otsukaresama de$hita. ^^ I've always enjoyed reading these online translations. And I think that's an awesome translation of the meaning of DIABOLOS. Yoku dekita ne.

Hahahahahaha, I've long promoted that movie, it's so good and touching. I can totally understand what he means when he said that it is a really wonderful Japanese love story. It is definitely a one of a kind movie. Those that really touches the deepest side of you, and remains in your heart. Haaaa... hontou ni suteki na eiga desuyo. Pity you still haven't watched it yet. ;;________;; Every tried buying through the internet? Or maybe you can get it when you are in Japan.

It always make me feel excited when he makes such statements. His strong conviction and faith in himself is something I have never seen before. He is so capable of making people "believe". I can't wait for the DVD. ^^

De, ima email wo shimasu, mata soko de. ^^

Ah, no Diabolos comments from me, as I don't have it yet. And I'm (so far) resisting the temptation to download it. ^^

Hee. I'm not so surprised that "Ima, Ai" made him cry. It made me cry, and I'm not the type to cry at movies (nope, didn't cry at Moon Child... though did get slightly teary-eyed). Plus, we know he's really just a hopeless romantic, don't we? *patpats romantic sweety Gackt* ^.^

Oh goodness, I wish I could go to that concert... ^^

Thank you so much for translating it! It's always nice to know Gackt's words and thoughts about his own work (and other things). =)

And, actually, the guy got it slightly wrong, "diabolos" comes from Ancient Greek rather than Latin. ^^ There is a Latin word "diabolus", but that is really a loanword from Greek. Just thought that was interesting. ^^

Thank you very much. I love it. Its nice to hear what he has said about this album and tour. From what I have heard and felt from the songs on Diabolos, it tweeked my imagination of what his stage and performance... would or could be.
I am excited and I will keep my neck clean.
That is an interesting phrase. I understand it completely.
He has ways with words I say.


I the more I read and hear of how he is... makes me wonder what he really is like in private life. He must be interesting and comical.

Thanks.

野に咲く花のように
Yesterday was Ryu's birthday, so Happy Birthday, Ryu！

There's some nice news from yesterday. Gackt performed at the Maiko High School graduation ceremony in Kobe. A student from the school wrote to him a couple of years ago (& it was mentioned on Gackt's radio show back then) telling him about the school. The students who graduated were doing an "environment and disaster mitigation course", which began in 2002 in response to the earthquake that occurred in that area in 1995. Gackt was living in Kyoto at the time, and he also had friends who were affected by it. The fan who wrote to him was asking for help at the graduation, and apparently Gackt said he would be there & sing for them, and yesterday he fulfilled his promise ^^

It was decided only 3 days ago that Gackt would perform there, and he stayed up all night to write a new song for it. It was a ballad called 「野に咲く花のように」 ('Like flowers blooming in a field'), and Gackt peformed it with You & Chacha playing guitar in the gymnasium at the school (wearing his all black outfit including long leather coat & sunglasses, according to the article ^^. It sounds like it was a surprise performance, and that everyone there really enjoyed it. He's a very kind person ^^

There are articles at 日刊スポーツ (and it's also in the newspaper, according to the new 新聞 section at the Dears site) & Yahoo (it's the same article at both sites). Some of the lyrics are in the article, too: 「いつか見た夢の場所へ　たどり着くまであきらめないで　まだ名もない花だけど　決して負けず　強く咲きたい－」

I've been meaning to post about the Z Gundam 3 premiere event (「機動戦士Ｚガンダム～星の鼓動は愛～」プレミア試写会), which happened last Thursday. Gackt was there, along with Tomino & the voice actors:

There are a few articles around about it, but not many pictures.
MSN日刊スポーツ; スポーツニッポン; ZAKZAK; スポーツ報知; & there's also something about it at the Oricon Blog & some pictures at Cinema Topics


Gackt was in a couple of magazines that came out yesterday: Fool's Mate, and Papyrus, which you've probably already seen. It looks interesting~


The Love Letter single is out today~ I think the songs have been re-recorded & sound a bit different, although I can't really explain how...

I think I only posted once last month, but I'll try to make a post soon about everything I've missed. I see that there are over 1900 people reading this now, so thank you, people! ^^

Hey Sari~

Nope I have never posted a comment here before.. although I don't know why...(i guess i always have fun reading just what other people have to say..)

I'm always here reading.. over the years since i found it.. in late 03? or 2004?

I just want to say... Thank You! (you thanked us for reading.. but) Just thank u! for all the time and effort that you have put in!
Esp the good scans and all!!!

Gackt is so sweet... he is a real dear himself.. i think if i saw Gackt at my sch, I'd go crazy.. I'd stand infront of the stage and
infront of him and not let the other students see him!.. hahaha!
but one thing's for sure.. and tt is..

I'D GO CRAZY.. (heck! he makes me go crazy even through my monitor screen! heee hee..)

Once again, thanx loads Sari~ ^^

Thank you for commenting! It's always nice to hear from people... There's not much point in posting if I don't know whether anyone's reading ^^;

The article did say that everyone seemed very excited about seeing him at the school, and a lot of girls were crying... I guess that's understandable! It was very sweet of him to do this for them ^^ And as I heard someone say, this is probably something that the school students will always remember.
(回复) (上一级)

Maybe because he's only half. He's half Japanese and half Norwegian.

And who cares if he got plastic surgery. It's his body >.>;

he doesn't want to marry again according to a TV-show, it's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4l8nEaT_ig
He also said this (translated by yuzunari on YouTube):
"I always feel that it isn't right for a couple to be together by virtue of being married. The most important thing is the mutual feeling of love - this is what I think. Even before you begin dating"
- Gackt

I think he also speak Korean and German

he also have had many different hair colors; blond, red, brown and on the most recent video black

He rarely eat rice because it's fattening
