GACKT gets sentimental in “SEASONS” PV

As previously reported, J-rock legend GACKT will be releasing an official cover of one of Ayumi Hamasaki’s biggest hits, “SEASONS”. The full music video was uploaded on Nestle Japan’s official youtube channel, and is being used to promote the successful “Dolce Gusto” coffee machine.

The music video follows the story of a young couple, profiling the ups and downs faced in many relationships. The lead actor in the video plays the role of a film director, who is ‘directing’ the video he’s starring in! After giving some instructions to GACKT, he sits down and watches the video shoot take place. He takes a sip of coffee made by a “Dolce Gusto” which triggers memories of his relationship.

GACKT says he couldn't drink coffee until 5 years ago

On September 15, GACKT attended the opening event for 'Nescafe Dolce Gusto Drop Mirai Cafe' in Tokyo.

During the event, GACKT revealed, "I couldn't drink coffee before. It wasn't my favorite. When I went to France, everyone drinking it looked so cool, so I practiced everyday. I was finally able to drink it about 5 years ago."

GACKT also shared that he is now very particular about his cup of java. He says he would rather drink coffee he brews at home instead of buying it from a coffee shop. "I was very impressed with how deep the flavor of coffee could be. I was able to become an 'adult'," he said.

When asked if he has a special person in his life who brews him the perfect cup of coffee, GACKT responded, "I wish there was someone. She's rather difficult to find."

Nestle released their new coffee machine 'Nescafe Dolce Gusto Drop' on September 15. To commemorate this occasion, they have opened a "mirai cafe" ("future cafe") in Harajuku for a limited time until September 23. GACKT, who became the first customer of this cafe, stated, "I love new things like this."
