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.

Gackt and Kazu-chan went walking in the evening in Bucharest, above, Gackt like a kid in a candy store, sees something he wants in the store window - cellphone straps(?)  (gee Gacchan, now you know how we get when we see anything with you or You on it!)


DEARS - since the creation of Gackt's official fanclub (under this name) the club published newsletters - the newsletters in future will be digital, posted monthly on the Gackt and Dears site.

The Dears Memorial Box - reprints of all the newsletters from 2000-2008 in a special slipcovered box will be available for pre-order on July 4th, only 3000 will be made, and this can only be ordered if you are a member of the fanclub.

Gackt at the grave of Uesugi Kenshin (1530-1578)


An old grave hidden away at the foot of a deserted hill,
Overrun with rank weeds growing unchecked year after year;
There is no one left to tend the tomb,
And only an occasional woodcutter passes by.
Once I was his pupil, a youth with shaggy hair,
Learning deeply from him by the Narrow River.
One morning I set off on my solitary journey
And the years passed between us in silence.
Now I have returned to find him at rest here;
How can I honor his departed spirit?
I pour a dipper of pure water over his tombstone
And offer a silent prayer.
The sun suddenly disappears behind the hill
And I’m enveloped by the roar of the wind in the pines.
I try to pull myself away but cannot;
A flood of tears soaks my sleeves.
