I was never familiar with this particular tokusatsu series from Japan, having been reared on ULTRAMAN, but I knew that Gackt being asked to do the theme song for the 10th Anniversary of the current incarnation of the popular children's show was a BIG DEAL.

Perhaps even Gackt did not know what an influence this collaboration would bring, along with 3 hit singles, JOURNEY THROUGH THE DECADE, THE NEXT DECADE, and STAY THE RIDE ALIVE, Gackt would take a break from his tour to have a pivotal role in a film ALL RIDERS vs DAI SHOCKER as RIDERMAN from the classic series, and the young star of Kamen Rider Decade, Masahiro Inoue and Gackt became friends, both gentlemen speaking of the other in their blogs.

Now I'm watching all the Kamen Rider series I can find subs for! and  whole new generation of KR fans now know GACKT! RIDERMAN.

Fave Gackt Moments 2009 - Requiem et Reminiscence 2 TOUR

Before the end of the year gets away (for those of us in this time zone) we can't not mention this:

After a break of three years GACKT RETURNS TO THE LIVE STAGE with 10 BRAND NEW SONGS!!!!

 

 

 

 While the story of Requiem and Reminiscence reprised the concept of the REBIRTH album and  tour of 2001, Gackt added more depth and resonance to this story which featured German SS soldiers turned into cyborgs as a metaphor of the inhumanity of war and the ability of the human spirit to rise above death itself.
GACKT brought along his excellent band GACKTJOB, his team of dancers,  a wonderfully designed set, effects and lighting to stun and delight both old and new fans. But what we will probably remember the most are the SONGS,from the hard rock IN FLAMES  to the technopop of GHOST the teasing frivolity of  KOAKUMA HEAVEN  to what has become a classic Gackt ballad OBLIVIOUS
This is what GACKT's Dears have been waiting for.
While it's simple, this says it best i think.

Arigato gozaimasu! Gackt-san.
