    Cool [H] Planet GACKT

    let's talk about this beautiful j-rock demigod! Stick out tongue

    i first got hooked on gackt when i was browsing a site owned by an english instructor in japan. it was his first time in japan and was awed by the number of artists, bands, groups, etc in the japanese music scene. according to him, one artist who really stood out from the crowd (so to speak) was a weird-looking guy with a weird name, gackt. he looked feminine but sounded so masculine. this instructor even put a sound clip of gackt's song, birdcage, in his website. i listened to it, and was an instant fan. Cool

    let's spread the gackt lovin'! Wink

    happy birthday, gackt-sama!

  • =============================

    a short gackt biography

    gackt was born in okinawa, japan on july 4, 1973. he used to say that his birthday is july 4, 1540 and that he was a vampire. now fans know this is not true. hehe.

    it was his parents that got him into music, as they were both musicians. he began to study the piano at age 3 and eventually, he became interested in brass instruments when he saw his dad play the trumpet. his musical interest shifted from classical to rock.

    his rock career started as a drummer and he eventually went on to form the band cains: feel.

    gackt became very popular as the vocalist for malice mizer, a super big visual kei band (1992-2001).

    gackt left malice mizer to embark on a solo career, forming his own band called gacktjob. gackt became more popular than during his MM career. aside from chart-topping singles and albums, gackt also appeared in movies, TV commercials, and even took part in the play station 2 game called bujingai, in which he did the motion capture for the game's main character lau wang.

    gackt's physical characteristics:

  • height: 180cm (about 5' 11")
  • weight: 60 kg (132 lbs.)
  • bloodtype: A
  • waist: 68 cm (about 27 in) - pretty small waist for a guy, don't you think??
  • gackt's official website is www.dears.ne.jp

    great gackt-related websites and links:

    Is it just me or does the guy on the Onesimus billboard in Guadalupe look eerily like Gackt? Cool I always look at it every time I pass by that billboard. *sigh*

    When he's not in the J-music scene

    What does Gackt do when he's not busy with making music? Read on and find out (as if you didn't k now). Wink

    ==================================

    Source: Wikipedia

    In addition to music, Gackt has been involved as an actor in various TV commercials (usually playing himself), and in the Japanese drama Hero's Hero. He also co-wrote and co-starred in the hit vampire themed movie Moon Child with HYDE, vocalist of L'Arc~en~Ciel.

    Gackt is also officially an author, having written Moonchild: Requiem, and several as-yet unpublished short stories. In 2003 he published his autobiography titled Jihaku, in which he displayed deep thoughts and described events that had a profound impact on his life. Gackt has worked as a runway model for his favorite designer, Yoshiyuki Konishi; designed his own stage-wear and clothing line; and opened his own private, members-only restaurant and bar, Tamaly Bar, complete with his own personal and family recipies.

    Gackt was also involved in the PlayStation 2 game Bujingai, for which he performed some of the voices as well as doing motion capture for the game's protagonist, Lau Wong, who is a redheaded vision of Gackt himself. His voice acting, however, was not included in the English version of Bujingai. He has also appeared in Japanese commercials for the hit game Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and his name appeared on a dog tag in the game. Other voice-over work of Gackt's included the character 'Seiji' from the anime New Fist of the North Star (Shin Hokuto no Ken), as well as singing the opening and ending theme songs. He also performed the ending theme 「月の詩」, ("Tsuki no Uta") for the anime Texhnolyze.

    Rumors on the internet cite Gackt as the model for the Final Fantasy VIII lead character Squall Leonhart. In the game, Squall is wearing a jacket identical to one Gackt wore in his Malice Mizer days. Said rumors state that the designer of Squall Leonhart was a big fan, but Gackt has never been officially credited. Tetsuya Nomura, the character designer for Squall Leonhart, has stated that American actor River Phoenix was the basis for Squall, and that the jacket was intended to test the Playstations capabilities.

    However, a character with his likeness will appear in Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII. The character will be created using video-capture and digitally inserted into the game instead of the more traditional animation. Although having little direct involvement in the game, his character is revealed through various G Reports hidden throughout the game. Gackt's identity in Dirge of Cerberus is thus known as G, the prototype to Shin-Ra's super-soldier, Sephiroth (or codename S).

    In early 2005 he was asked to write and perform the theme songs for the Gundam movie Zeta Gundam: A New Translation, a movie eagerly anticipated by the anime community. The songs were 'Metamorphoze' and a rearrangement of a previously released song, 「君が待っているから」 ("Kimi ga Matteiru kara").

    Gackt's next single, Redemption, is also the theme for Dirge of Cerberus, and was released alongside the game (and its soundtrack) in January for Japan.

    At Otakon on August 5th 2006 Yoshiki announced he will be forming a band with Gackt. "Im also starting a band with...well alot of you probably know him ...Gackt! Yeah..it was kind of a secret. I talked to him on the phone last night.. I guess its alright" note: it has been confirmed that Gackt and Yoshiki will be creating a "super-band" together and touring the USA in 2007 (concert dates and other band members have not been announced)

    Latest GACKT news ^_^

    Gackt will be going on a trip to Los Angeles, and as his previous trips to Hawaii, Australia and Canada, the trip is for Dears members only (his fanclub).  Gackt will gather up some Dears members and take them to LA with him. Travel and party with him. Lucky, lucky people!!! I'm so jealous now.

    He will also have his concert in Taiwan this month and Dears and non-Dears are welcome. :P 

    His taiga dorama is also showing on NHK every Sunday. Well, it's not his drama; he's just a support cast. The star of the show is Masaaki Uchino, known to Pinoys as KimuTaku's older brother in the dorama Love Generation. ^_^

    Masa, ex-GacktJob member, had a terrible vehicular accident last month, Valentine's Day. He is now hospitalized Sad I hope he will recover soon.

    I got that from a Gackt group I belong to, and the original posts is in German and I had to make do with the rusty German I have. ^^;;

    Thanks! Already linked you up Smile

    This is great news indeed...Yoshiki is already a legend in his own right and this collaboration with Gackt is going to be really BIG!

    Naku, dyan din ako naiinis sa PJ, lagi na lang paiba-iba ng timeslot. E tuloy, di ko na mahuli-huli kung anong oras. Kailangan palagi mag-check ng NHK website para lang makita ang sked nila. Dati pa nga, nasa Friday evening to...parang almost midnight pa ata. Ang weird talaga.Confused

    Ewan ko kung sino ang mas maganda: si Gackt o si Miyavi!!! Pero syempre loyal ako kay Gackt-sama! Cool
