Word and image

[wongkk.livejournal.com]

This is another one of Gackt's complex facial expressions.  It's a fairly uncomfortable picture, which I found thought-provoking but not easy to enjoy.  The poem is from the same set as the last Word and Image I posted.  

I'm not sure of the origin of this picture as there was no credit where I found it, but it looks to be from the Crescent/Last Song era and may be a screen cap e.g. from the photobook  "making of" video.  I've looked through the Crescent photobook itself fairly carefully and I can't see this picture there.  The words are mine.

Hee - I think I'm the one that "tried" here!

Yes, I know what you mean: he does look pretty exhausted, but I wanted to provoke people to think about what might have happened to make him so tired.

So, has he been chased? Did he have a fight with someone? Has he been making a huge effort to do something - to give effect to a dream - which has just failed in front of him? You get the idea.

I'm happy for everyone to think of their own story - perhaps he's just had a hard day being photographed ;)
