Look at that hot cowboy practicing his horseback riding skills ♥♥♥

乗馬



昨日は、23日に上越市で行われる「謙信公祭」に向けて、乗馬の練習をしに長野まで行ってきました。

約1年ぶりの乗馬で、感覚を取り戻すのに少し時間がかかったようですが、しばらく乗っていると感覚が戻ってきたのか、巧みに馬を操っていました。

いよいよ明日、Gackt謙信最後の出陣です!

Horse riding

Yesterday, we went as far as Nagano to have a horse riding practice for the [Kenshin Kousai] to be performed on the 23rd at Jouetsu City.

Riding for the first time in about a year, it seemed that to regain the sense it took a little time, but after a while the sense of riding came back and he was handling the horse with skill.

At last, tomorrow is Gackt as Kenshin's last departure for the front!*

The first thing that ran through my mind when I saw this was "Save a horse. Ride a cowboy!" *blush*

That is one fine stallion.

The horse is nice too. :)

Gackt = Knight in Shining Armor, complete with White Horse!

A big reason why I think Gackt-san is awesome is that he takes everything so seriously including practice. That's why he wins!

you.win.XD

HE's the Knight in Shining Armor and The Princess at the same time!

and the Dark Lord of the Underworld too of course. Now that's true multitasking!

Uwa! *0* Gackt looks so wonderful on that horse, thank you for posting and sharing it. Also, thank you for the translation akogare! ^^

I'm sad to hear that he hasn't had time to ride for almost a year. Clearly it's something he enjoys. I had thought that maybe he owned the wonderful horse he rode in Platinum Box 7. Guess not.

Quick, somebody write him a script so he can play a Central Asian conqueror.

Bwahaha. Am I the only one who wishes I was that horse? XDD
Thank you!

Thanks for posting this and editing for the translation. The way Gackt always practises and doesn't duck out of the donkey work (er - horse work?) is inspiring. Seeing him preparing like this just makes the eventual performance look more rewarding, even though I'll be waiting for Kenshin in Joetsu to wave that cowhand's hat!
