Gackt sang the new single GHOST, and performs a violin duet, for which he practised diligently for many months, there was a screen behind the performers which showed many scenes and a film.

Gackt says he has no times for traveling, or going out, but must practice and record, so he has had time to catch up on tv viewing, and now knows some of the jokes his staff have been sharing, and entertained the crowd during the MC by referring to the popular comedy duo 'Double Dutch'.

Gackt celebrates his 10th anniversary as a solo artist in June, which is slated for the release of his Hollywood debut with the film BUNRAKU.


Famous Gackt Fans

"Gackt was so handsome! His dancing was good, his singing was good, and his aura was dangerous! I went backstage and shook Gackt's hand, and now I don't want to wash my hands, I have filming tomorrow and I want to be cool like Gackt!"

Kanata Hongo (Young Sho in Moonchild) also attended!

Hosho-san, who is a friend of Gackt and You, and collaborates with DARTS also attended, while he enjoyed meeting Gackt, You and Dancer friends, the strong sound made him feel weak halfway through the show and he had to leave, to his great regret.

You

blogged about the concert, and how he went to bed as soon as he got home!
He has had some massage and acupuncture, and recently re-decorated his living room, which became conversation during the MC! He is an electronics buff, and comments on how he assists his friends in setting up their computers and tvs!

JIMBO!

Is the name of the handsome man (Gackt certainly thinks so!) who appeared in the JESUS video and cover of the Dears single (which Gackt reminds people, is Not Him) You can find his details at a site called Tokyo Gajin Models!

I picked an azalea
And brought it home.
Now when I contemplate it,
In its crimson dye
I see the color
Of my lover's robe.
