Gackt from A to Z - saving the best for last - Yami no Shuen RETURNER

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Ah, Gackt's first number one single! The song inspired by his performance as the heroic Uesugi Kenshin in the hit taiga drama FUURIN KAZAN. *Gackt here re-creates the famous speech of Kagetora, who said, (paraphrased) 'he who fears death will surely meet death, while those who do not fear death, will certainly return' - and at the end says 'I am Bishamonten'- Japanese Buddhist deity associated with War.

Here, Gackt pulls off the near impossible, making Kagetora serenading to his troops (300 hundred dancers in Sengoku armor) so incredible! Leading the White Team in this year's Kouhaku to VICTORY! But spare a thought for poor GacktJOB performing in armor, espec You-chan, who had injured his back a few weeks earlier, you can't see the lovely Nell behind that kick-ass bass decorated with skulls, and Cha, still so elegant!

Nice to note screams from live audience for the cameo by the beloved Ogata Ken.
