Tried looking for a thread that mentioned em..
I suppose there must be some living fans of this guy, well known, writer, artist, actor and all the above. Gsan FTW.
However, the reason I created this thread is to discuss his music career.. Rumor has it, Gackt plans on retiring in 3 years, what do you all think of this? And what of his new masterpiece “Jesus” which speaks of suicide and death.
Gsan seems like the type of person, to not live long. And not because of health problems. But probably because of well ‘pride’ of being, body and all that jazz. I really do hope he doesn’t take his life, (his newest song really worries me) is he too old? or will he succeedd and keep on going?
So controversy on the table, speak your mind, speak your mind!

Let me just say that this is something I don't usually like to discuss. I would likely not be alive today had it not been for Gackt, so the thought of anything happening to him...stresses me out. A lot.
Needless to say, yes I am a fan.
That said, personally...I worry about him a lot. I mean, he has been known to push himself so hard for his live shows that he'll pass out backstage. It scares me...a lot. The fact that he's announced a potential time to retire scares me too, because if he'll keep working through THAT...then what did it take to make him realize that he might have to call it quits eventually? What's more, how exactly is he gonna make the call when that time comes? If he actually decides to retire, knowing what he'll push himself through, I'll be terrified for him. But I'll probably be even more worried if he doesn't.
However...I'm not worried about the song or what it means. He cares too much about those he would hurt to do anything stupid like that. Even just fans like us.
I wonder where the inspiration for many of his songs come from, and Jesus is one of them. As much as it saddens me that he could write something like that (I hate the thought of him being in any kind of pain), for all I know it may even be similar to a trick I use (considering he and I are awfully damn similar, right down to both being left-handed, it could very well be) - if a negative emotion attacks, fight it by writing about it and turning it into something useful.
I hope it's not even that; I hope it was really just that he wanted to try something different. But still...it's about the only thing I'm not worried about. :sweat:

SQUEE
GACKT
Until now, I didn't know anything about 'Jesus' or any of that. To be honest, I haven't been that into him in years.
However i do consider him to be a very talented singer and wish him only the best.

Gackt has the sexiest voice ever. :drool:
*ahem* I can't discuss very well, because I don't follow his career, I just listen to his music, but I certainly hope he doesn't retire in three years- or take his life! That would be awful. He's so very talented. Like JimmyHavok said, I wish him all the best.
I absolutely adore the song Vanilla. Oh, my word. It's just amazing.

I like Gackt. He's a great person and a great performer BUT he has to stop pushing himself so hard. He's going to end up dying young like Kami did. He needs to take a break.
And I think his and Miyavi's biggest mistake were signing up for S.K.I.N. because, I hate to say it, Yoshiki is one of the biggest narccistic, egotistical SOB's alive. He thinks he's God's gift to women and he's nothing but a big nosed, skinny little asian boy with a 'Look at how hot i am with no shirt' attitude. PUT YOUR DANG SHIRT BACK ON, YOU SKINNY ASIAN BOY!! You're making the pedophiles drool! I can't stand the man. The only talent he has is playing the drums.

Gackt is probably one of the most egotistical, psychotic, and plain weird people alive....
But that's why I love him <3 The key to loving jrockers is to not take any of them too seriously XD (particularly... Gackt, Mana, Yoshiki, etc)
Anyone else excited for that movie, Bunraku, that he'll be in? =3

Funny thing is, I actually do take him quite seriously. Maybe I'm weird for quite seriously loving him for all his strangeness.
....then again, I already knew I was weird.
As for the movie, I'm excited beyond words. Also a bit concerned, knowing the kind of things he likes to do...but when I go see it, I'll have some close friends with me, so no matter what happens I'll probably be able to keep from screaming. XD;;

Oh man the movie will be great XD Gackt's acting makes me laugh so hard.. It's not even that he's that BAD at acting... but just the fact that it's Gackt. XD I love that guy
I know me and my friends will be in the theater laughing out loud at strange moments and all the oblivious people will be like "o_O what.." XDD

He just has his ways of making everyone laugh, doesn't he? I'm HOPING I can remain quiet through the movie, but...I can't get through watching Moon Child without making many loud and unnatural-sounding noises; I don't totally expect this to be much different...except for the pressure to shut up. XD;;;
He just has his ways of making even the simplest things amusing, whether it's in a funny way or a just plain adorable way. One of the things I love most about him.
And yet he can be so serious too. Not something you'd expect from someone like this.
On another note, what he did in that video...that was so evil. So awesomely evil. XD

Gackt the singer/actor. Has for the last year spent a majority of his time acting in a tv series and two movies. Well now is going back to singing and he is going full out on it. He Released a Single [Jesus] in December, and this month he is releasing another [Ghost]; and to top it off in March has has another one coming out [JOURNEY THROUGH THE DECADE]. Its making me happy and over whelmed. >.<
What do you guys think of the recent happenings with Gackt?

I have to say, Ghost is the most amazing thing I've heard in quite some time. Definitely one of my favorites of his. And the PV - by FAR my new favorite of his - was actually released on the day I prefer to celebrate my birthday...THAT just made my YEAR. I've always been a bit fanatical of the concept of cyborgs. So...for THAT to have been released on my BIRTHDAY (though it's not my legal birthday, granted)...needless to say I was thrilled.
I've already preordered the single...though I'm a bit upset; I always get upset in the time before something new of his is released. WHY is his fanclub only open to people who live in Japan!? T_T It's not fair. I want that special edition that's BEING RELEASED A WEEK EARLY! *sigh* All the location crap with many of my favorite musicians is really enough to make me wish I lived in Japan.
I will also be preordering Journey through the Decade as soon as I get the chance (read: money and the first order I placed from the site I've found - I hate having two separate preorders pending at the same time; I'm weird like that :sweat:). I'm excited for that too. X3
...getting off that subject...I've already said a million times that I cannot WAIT for Bunraku to come out. But it bears repeating. Because I am excited beyond all belief. I hope that it comes to my town quickly - though I've already decided I'm going out of town to watch it on the day it comes out if I have to. I'm gonna end up seeing it multiple times too, I know it...
For the first time, I've already made plans with a couple of friends. We're going to go see it together...I'll be sitting next to the aisle. Because we all know what tends to happen when Gackt meets action. I don't...really...take it all too well when things happen to him. :sweat: Just a sign that I care way too much for my own good. One of many.
So yes. First time, I'm taking the aisle just in case something happens unexpectedly...if I have to bolt, I can bolt. XD;;;
All in all, I'm VERY excited about all his recent activity. I just really hope he's not working himself too hard again...*sigh* I always worry about that.
On another very interesting note, I recently discovered that I work with someone who has watched Fuurin Kazan. o__o I thought I was the only person in my town who cared for it.
...it was quite embarrassing actually, when he saw my PSP wallpaper. He recognizes him, so...needless to say he's caught on to a few things. Things I don't like people in real life catching on to. :sweat:
But yes, I'm...semi-pleased to say that I'm now one of THREE pople I know of in my town who are familiar, to some extent, with Gackt. That's really not all that great...until you realize I used to think I was the only one.

I am here to report that I just received the Ghost single in the mail.
I...almost died. I knew the song was incredible after watching the PV, but I was still blown away. And then Blue Lagoon...I don't know HOW or WHY it is that his B-sides often become my favorites in terms of personal meaning (for an example of a past incident, Uncertain Memory [Oasis B-side]...there's a fascinating kanji switch in there, and I spent hours trying to decipher it, and when I finally did...it went way up on my favorites list, because...one, the meaning of it was beautiful; two, it was the first song I'd ever done that with), but it's happened once again. I'm working at translating it now...but it's rather shocking; I got it stuck in my head on...January 18. When there was no chance I could have heard it before.
...and there I was thinking I was being original with that melody. XD
Once again, Gackt does not disappoint (unless you count my disappointment at not being original, which is more than made up for by the fact that I heard one of his songs before ANYONE else XD). I'm very pleased right now.

I got into Japanese music because of him! 8D
Vanilla is one of my most favorite songs!! 8DD
I heard that Gackt did have a set year that he would be retiring, but I forgot what year it was. And though I will be sad, it is his choice. And he's not too old! I think he's only in his forties! D8 that's not old!

2010. Next year. He said it depends on how he's feeling, though...and I'm gonna be totally honest - much as I'll miss new releases from him, I hope he goes through with it. I worry about him so much...he works himself too hard. :( Though the way he's been going this year, it's starting to seem...doubtful.
Also, according to the most common rumor (and the one most supported by the little bit of evidence that's out there), he's gonna be 36 this year. Which...is not that old at all, no. Which...is another reason I worry about him so much. He's way too young for some of the problems he causes himself through overworking. T_T

i really liked fragrance, soleil and wasurenaikara. i don't listen to him that much anymore. > O>
and i've heard the rumours of suicide a few years ago and half-believed them. he seems to be the type to want to die looking good.

Oh yes, the rumors a few years ago, when he wrote a supposed death date (2007) on a tombstone with his own name. Never gonna forget that one...but you know, I trusted him not to do anything stupid then, 2007 ended and he's still here...so I trust him now after Jesus.
He does seem to enjoy scaring the living shit out of us all though. |3;

It didn't really scare me; I've been following him for long enough that I'm pretty desensitized to the "scarier" side of what he does. XD Though he does seem to have some kind of morbid fascination with the end of life, I must say. Rebirth as well, if you follow his lyrics. I can't say I blame him though.

Thought that the idea was awesome when I first heard about it...then I saw the character and heard the voice and just...right near lost it. I pretty much fell in love right there. XD I love the shade of purple that his hair is, for one...it's one of my favorite colors; I can't get over that. XD Silly thing, I know, but yeah. And I'm still amazed by just how similar the voices are.
Hell, even my sister likes him - and usually she finds Gackt's voice to be rather creepy (I can't blame her; according to her I sound pretty damn similar when I sing that low - so I can imagine it being quite creepy to hear a famous artist have "your sibling's voice"), because even though there's a very strong resemblance...there's just enough difference that the creepy factor is gone. XD;;
