Gackt Army Divisions

[karadin.livejournal.com]

One of which is a community for the character Genesis Rhapsodos in Final Fantasy VII Dirge of Cerebus and Crisis Core inspired by our own Demon Lord.

redleather_love


and I am happy to say that the com has been a success, with lots of postings of fanfic and some fanart featuring our tempestuous red-headed General, but be aware, these tend to be racy m/m stories! Most often you will see Genesis paired with General Sephiroth or General Angeal Hewley.

(mmmm Hewley)


Another of our divisions is of course bunraku_blog for news about the upcoming feature film with Gackt-sama.

Veteran Actor of Stage and Screen OGATA KEN dies at age 71

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Veteran actor Ogata Ken died on Sunday, Oct 5th. He was widely regarded as one of Japan's finest actors, whose dedication to his craft brought out the best in younger cast members.

Real name Ogata Akinobu, the Tokyo native joined the now defunct Shinkokugeki theater group in 1958 and studied under Tatsumi Ryutaro (1905-89). He later married fellow member Takakura Norie and their two sons, Kanta and Naoto, are both actors.

Ogata achieved fame on TV when he played the lead role of medieval warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the 1965 NHK taiga drama series "Taikouki." In 1972-73 he played the lead role of a ninja assassin in the TBS period drama series "Hissatsu Shikakenin," which led to many other "Hissatsu" spinoffs.

A unique and versatile actor, he appeared in countless TV series and more than 60 movies. The best known of Ogata's films include Nomura Yoshitaro's "Kichiku," Imamura Shohei's "Narayama Bushiko" (The Ballad of Narayama, 1983) and the 2006 Yamada Yoji samurai drama "Bushi no Ichibun" (Love and Honor).

Not only a star of Japanese cinema he also appeared in several overseas productions, including Paul Schrader's "Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters" (1985) and Peter Greenaway's "The Pillow Book" (1996).

Recent projects included the NHK drama FUURIN KAZAN (pictured above with co-star GACKT) Ogata had a life-long interest in calligraphy, holding his own exhibitions, and his work was featured on the cover of Gackt's DVD featuring his role as Uesugi Kenshin in the drama.

Ogata last role in the Fuji TV drama series "Kaze no Garden," will air from October 9.

ama nö kapa

On heaven's river
The mists rise and drift across
"It's today! Today!"
My awaited lord
Has set off in his boat, I think.

Where would you want Gackt to perform?

[shinimegami21]

Weird question time! :D

Rules:
-It cannot be ANYWHERE in your home! Gosh, be creative! lol
-It cannot be in a hall, dome, arena.

I would like him to perform in the park near my job, solely for the pleasure of checking little kids pockets for acorns! LOL! And there are a bunch of acorns, AND children, around here!

Oh, and he will be close enough to simply walk over there! My boss would understand if I just...left. XD
