Links

We do not encourage linking to content away from the community, this is in the case of dead links - where the content has been removed, but not the post.

Sometimes there is no way to get around links - for example downloads - downloads must remain locked to members only.

You might see an entry (such as a recent one directing to a Final Fantasy article, this was due to the length of the article and the fact that it was not directly related to Gackt) or news reports where the sources are shown (because we will only report verifiable news) some links may appear in posts, these are on a case by case basis and have been approved by the General.

There should never be links in comments. If you have something to show someone you may contact them personally (we encourage members to connect out of the com, after all) or you may make a post to the community, so everyone can see.

Hope this removes any confusion.

Thinking of you as I do,
any attempt to hide my feelings
has defeated me.
I would ask for one meeting
let the consequences be what they may

The Sixth Day Seventh Night Concert Series - Intro

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Five years as a solo artist, and Gackt decided to launch a retrospective tour in 2004 and there was plenty of material from the albums Mizerable, MARS, MOON and Crescent, not to mention numerous singles.

You couldn't ask for a better introduction, Gackt pulls out all the stops as he arranges one of his songs to traditional instrumentation, here, Gackt, You and Chacha play shamisen, while Ryu and Ju-Ken play the huge taiko drum behind the center stage, the dance troupe rounds out the sound with bells. The performers are dressed in a version of Heian-era garb, of almost 1,000 years ago, a period in time referred to as a 'golden age' of the arts in Japan.


Watch in awe.
