gackt playing

That looks cool!
But I suck at pool, I'd stick to bowling.

what a poser. yozaaaa. 2

^ I noticed that too. This is my first time seeing Gackt in a video. I never had liked him seeing his pictures anyway, but I wonder why so many girls go crazy for him..

ITS BECAUSE HES DRACULA!!!

oh boy.. thats cool.. I wanna try it..

He really follows his own fashion, so meh, it's too bad you're seeing him for the first time with those weirdass cornrolls.




in less than a half year he had these hairstyles





















and yeah, I KNOW. he looks like a woman. but yeah, Japan's got an own sense for beauty.
but hey, if you're into anime and you like these male characters, bishounen, you must be gay, right ?




nice upbeat performance

=======
Though now I'm really confident in myself, I was really horrible when I was a teenager. Because I wanted sex, I was so confused about my desire for it that I wanted to say "someone please stop it!" If I didn't have it daily, it felt like my day was unfulfilled. Nothing satisfied me.

Like Dracula hungering for blood, I had a craving for sex ( ). I almost think now that I could have been called somewhat of a "vampire."

So I also went through that stage in my life.

Now, I sometimes think that at that time, I was really just sucking up the life energy of my partner through sex. I have a hunch that I was really transferring that energy to my own body.

The more you do that, the quicker your vitality will increase. The more your vitality increases, the more you want.

It's a feeling of thirst. I kept thirsting after sex. I couldn't go without it. That was the only thing on my mind. I was seriously worried that in being like that, wasn't I just a monkey?

"Someone, please stop me!" that was really what I felt like.

Though I was craving it, to me, there was just one rule that should not be broken. That rule was "do not masturbate." I swore to it on my heart.

I had great feelings of guilt over masturbation. After I did it, I would think "what the hell was I doing?" and then I would get attacked by a huge feeling of shame. I felt that I was worthless.

If I was in a relationship with someone, I would tell myself that I would act in a manner that would build up a mutual relationship with that person. When I wasn't in a relationship, if there was a way I could manage it, I would restrain myself.

So, there was no way I could be by myself. When I was thinking I wanted to masturbate, I would go out looking for a partner until I found one. Then I'd talk to myself to persuade myself.

"If you feel like masturbating, get up and go out!" I would say.

When I didn't have a girlfriend, I had my friends. When I didn't have any girls to associate with, I had people I could share feelings with. There were also people I used just for sex.

It was the same for both of us. Both I and my partner would have sex wherever we could till we'd had enough.

At that time, I would have sex all day. Don't you think that's stupid? Even while I was thinking "what am I doing?" I was having sex. It was one of the most challenging things I've faced.

I was not satisfied like that. I was sick; there was something wrong with me.

Though you might be laughing, in those days, I was seriously worried about this.

Now, I think that the spiritual peak of a young person and the physical peak of a young person are both very important.

However, if you slip off that peak, it might become a very bad thing. If young people put a cap on their feelings when they want to do something and restrain themselves, by the time they are older, they will reach that spiritual peak. However, by then, their physical peak is passing. In short, though you think there are things you want to do, it needs to be both a physical and spiritual want. If that happens, then you'll be satisfied [lit: have money]. If this is the case, it won't become like you are doing any strange pretending, right? When your body is weak, the spiritual part will make up for it in pleasure.

I think that people who do cosplay, S&M, image play, prostitution, or compensated dating are most likely people who have slipped off the spiritual peak. I have absolutely no desire to do any of that. I can't understand at all why compensated dating is necessary. [note: if you don't know what this compensated dating is, it's a popular "pasttime" in Japan where a girl, usually high school age, gets together with a man through a dating service and he pays her money for sex. It's basically prostitution under the veil of a dating service]

When I was a teenager, after this physical peak passed, the desire that I had for sex all the time completely disappeared.

Though the act of sex itself doesn't completely satisfy you, it penetrates into the body.

Now I am happy. This is because I don't have those uncontrollable urges anymore. However, this is not because my sexual desire has disappeared.

What's important isn't the deed of sex itself, but whether or not you feel it from the heart. If in your heart you don't have feelings for this person, your body doesn't function.

In the case of a man, even though you can function under those circumstances, are you merely going through the movements? You know in your heart what the best circumstances are. Telling yourself "Somehow I can manage," is completely different from saying "This is the perfect time." When you can say "This is the perfect time," then that is when you and your partner's hearts are perfectly matched.

However, the number of people who can share that feeling is extremely limited. Matching hearts. That, in the end, becomes the basis for sex.

Looks and style and personality are all good things. However, that doesn't mean that sex is right. Any relationship with those people won't last long.

If sex between two people doesn't fit, it's always all right to become just close friends or just casual friends.

this name has been familiar to me since a few years ago. I listened to Vanilla, watched Moon child but didn't like him as much. My friends have been saying negative comments about him such as he is a weirdo, he has a thing for pig belly etc. I didn't appreciate his image in Moon Child much since I was completely drawn to Hyde =P.

some time later till last year, when I listened to Diabolos and watched Todokanai.....PV I suddenly realized he has a deep masculine voice that really moved me. His appearance in that PV is irresistable . Then before I knew it my computer is full of his pics, PVs, mp3s. His poster is hanging on my wall, Jihaku and Moon Child novel are standing on my bookshelf.

He is a truly talented musician so I guess I"m completely attracted to his music. Well, sex appeal also plays a part.

It all started with my love of anime. I was interested in a lot of the music I heard in it, so I went searching around different sites to learn who sung what. Eventually, I happened upon J-fan.com and browsed the reviews section. I came across Gackt's name and thought it sounded interesting and clicked on it. I randomly selected the review for MOON, and listened to a minute or so clip of "Rain". I was blown away by the quality and sheer emotion conveyed through his amazing voice. It was unlike anything I’d ever heard before. I quickly jumped on my p2p program and downloaded "Rain", "Soleil", and "Lu:na". Needless to say, I was amazed and from that point on I became a fan of his music.

I never really gave much thought to Gackt himself up until a year or so ago, when I decided to learn more about the man behind the music I love so much. I searched around forums, fansites, and the like for appearances, interviews, pictures, and just about any information I could find about him. The more I watched and learned, the more I liked him. As I said in my intro post, he just fascinates me. Now he’s one of my favorite artists of all time and I can’t get enough of him (in a good way, of course… I’m a relatively sane fangirl ).

So that’s the story… nothing too extraordinary. Sorry for babbling on for so long, lol.

I actually only started liking Gackt a while ago...

Looking back, it was a big chain of coincidences that led me to Gackt...

I first saw him in a youtube video that a friend had sent me...she thought Gackt was okay, and said that the video was just really funny (it was the one where Shingo mama was pretending to kiss Gackt) so i watched it...thot it was great...but really caught my attention was Gackt...He looked so cool...and it was really funny how he was trying to keep a straight face and look "cool" through the entire thing.~~ After that, I kinda forgot him for a while...

...until I saw this GREAT display picture of him on my friend's msn!! Upon request, she sent me more pics, and i started liking him. I wanted to hear his songs too, but i was too lazy to actually find them, cuz i knew some of them would be hard to find since they're old... Being the lazy person that i am, i randomly put in my msn name "Anyone have any Gackt songs??" I didnt really expect anyone to respond...

...but someone did!! He was actually nice enough to respond and send me Gackt's songs!! And the guy had ALL of Gackt's songs!! I was so happy!!
The minute i heard Last Song and Vanilla, i was hooked!!!~

If not for coincidence/luck, i never would have started likin Gackt~

My friend Rochelle is always online and findin' somethin' new. So one day she IM's me this link to a video. She was really excited and swore I needed to watch it. So I did, it was "Mizerable". I liked the song and the video struck me as infinitely different from what I was used to. My interest was peaked and I kept lookin' through the video archive...thinkin' that these songs are cool..but I wasn't hooked...until I found an AMV of "Fragrance". The song was so amazin' that I started lookin' for as much of Gackt's music online...which led to more Gackt pictures...which led to watchin' Gackt interviews(hooray for youtube!)....which led to a "Moonchild" purchase late one night on amazon.com...and all that's added up to an unhealthy fixation and drownin' my family and friends in Gackt/Jrock euphoria ever since.

The more I read of him and his lyrics the more into him I get. I'm always ecstatic when I find an artist I can identify w/...Gackt's lyrics, the tone of his voice, and the flow of the music just gets me everytime. It's a pretty rare and amazin' thin' when a singer produces the giddiness in a jaded chick like me, so I'm definately happy I found Gackt.

I think it's been a month of bein' a Gackt fan. *throws confetti* Yey!

Subject description: my story

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I'm reading fanfic about a month or so ago, Naruto fanfic to be precise (because Naruto is now my crack, I'm totally addicted) and the author starts talking about how Sasuke plays and sings along to Gackt, to Naruto and gets him all hot and bothered etc. Basically uses Gackt to seduce Naruto. Then continues on to how they visit him and perform with him Fragrance, U+K and of course VANILLA.

So I decide to check and see if this Gackt was a real person, because I'd like to see this Vanilla for myself. Lo and behold, he is real and he has the sexiest voice and the most amazing stage presence ever. I went in search of videos and found Mizerable, which I adored because he used violin in it. I love the mixture of Rock and classical music. (Metallica and the Philharmonic orchestra - don't remember which one). I promptly sent the link to my friend Sheila, who, like me isn't afraid to listen to new stuff.

I still can't decide which Gackt song is my favourite. I have Vanilla and Arittake no ai de as my ringtones. I will definitely buy his live DVDs. Oh, his lives, what can I say that hasn't already been said. Simply awe-inspiring.

Anyway to cut a long story short, we went in search of more videos, pics, fanfic and songs (Hooray for youtube ) and I stand before you the proud Gackt-obsessed fan that I am today.

actually i was not a gackt fan in the beginning... i actually found him somewhat repulsive ( ) due to the actions of my sister when anyone mentioned gackt (in a negative or positive manner)... and then i saw clips of his somewhat more outrageous behavior (the fanservice version of vanilla) as well as the (cough cough ... rather risky photos of gackt)..

i was talking to my friend p-chan about random things you know how everything is going here in stockton, ca and there in japan and the topic of gackt came into the discussion.. well i stated my opinions based on what i had seen and heard about him and she proceded to send me various tracks of different artists (no indication of who was the artist.. she's a sly one) and asked me to listen to all of the songs and tell her the number of which one i like the most... it ended up a tie between #1 and # 20 which turned out to be last song and sakai story... i was surprised to hear that they were written and sung by gackt...i would have never thought the person i described above would be capable of writing such beautiful music or such passionate lyrics... so i decided to give him a try and p-chan proceded to SNAIL MAIL me almost anything she could that she had of Gackt in the form of songs/videos/pics (yay for the diabolos concert!!!) and this all was about a yr and a half ago (well not the yay for the diabolos concert though)

ive come to appreciate/admire him as an artist and human being. his style is unique as much as his music and thought process is... i admire the passion and variedness of his music... but most importantly the love and devotion that he has for not only his fans, but his "family" (everyone that works with him)... not many highly popular artists would be soo kind/caring/loving towards their crew from each individual in gacktjob to his background dancers to the roadies and security guards...they all have a place in his heart... though he at times looks cool (emotionless) only a man with as much passion for everything i stated above would be able to produce the music/performances/and whatever else he works on... his caliber of artistic talent is rare but to be a highly successful artist and still have a personal connection with all those who work with you is very very rare and possibly non-existent now... who wouldnt fall for that?

This gackt guy looks like he's trying too hard to sound and look cool.

He was born to sound and look cool.
He doesn't try at all.
This man is truly a genius... he really is.
Don't let his looks fool you.
