Why the sunglasses, Gackt?

[shinimegami21]

Haven't we all wondered this, or am I the only one?

I know there must be a legitimate reason for him wearing sunglasses that prevents us from seeing those gorgeous eyes, but I have no clue. I only have my crazy imaginiation logical thinking. :D I can only remember him not having them on during the Music Station performance of RETURNER ~Yami no Shuuen~ last June (the 20th?). Almost a year ago actually! And even then he had on that eyepatch.

So what do you all think is the reason for him wearing sunglasses all the time? Any theory is welcome! ^_^

Personally, I think the eyes are truly the windows to the soul, so maybe he doesn't want people to see inside of him? I know it's quite common here in Japan for people to usually not look into another's eyes. It can be seen as a bold thing to do, like...defiant, or rude? My English is slipping...

Or maybe he's trying to hide the fact that he doesn't wear contacts all the time! *gasp*

Or...since he dislikes bright lights, he wears them. I bet if he had the oppotunity, his entire house would have only candlelights. ^^;

Alright, time to stop babbling.

As someone who has become Gackt like with eyes and sunglasses...Im going to venture a guess that he has astigmatism and the light with contacts is super bright. I just started wearing them again, and I have astigmatism, and man...I definitely need sunglasses.

Remember, Gackt doesn't have much light (if any) in his home, and I can relate to why again. Having to squint because the light is so bright causes headaches, and when I have my sunglasses on, I dont have to squint (so much.)

I too have astigmatism, so I know that going outside with no sunglasses means death to my eyes ^^;

I'm glad that technology is so great, especially now that there are contacts especially for astigmatism. ^^;

I think Gackt can afford most luxuries, including the lighting in his house...and massive bed.

I used to wear contacts for astigmatism in HS, and that was, well, many years ago. So they have been around for awhile.

And, I don't recall saying Gackt couldn't afford lighting in his home. He chooses to keep it dark because bright light bothers him, especially if he wears his contacts often I imagine. I know when I have my contacts in at home, I will keep it dark if possible.

I think at the time, I didnt know too much about contacts, so I was suprised ^^;;;

I know you didn't say he couldn't afford lighting, and I wasn't coming off in that way. I was trying to be funny >.>; My sense of humor can be off at times ^^; sorry about that! I usually like darker settings too, but most times I need a good amount of light to do things, like use the computer or play video games. I highly dislike doing either in low light, with or without contacts.
