So glad you liked it! As always, my mission is to remind people that there is a lot of sophistication and nuance of feeling in Gackt's lyrics. If we can stop staring at him for one minute, we can recognize what a fine composer and writer he is. And if I can introduce some Japanese visual artist along the way, that's good, too.

I adore this photo because it has so many Romantic elements in it without being cluttered or campy.

It's worth while to look up the model Sayoko, too. She was considered the first Asian supermodel. Like Gackt, she embodied the concept of pride in one's culture, instead of trying to copy Western ideals.
