an entry for the challenge Gackt as Uesugi Kenshin
Finally, I have a new PC and can finish something (so many started-only things ha ha) for this challenge.
Here is a piece to represent Gackt as Kenshin, but it is for you to choose whether the speaker (singer even) of the words is Gackt-san or Uesugi Kenshin. For me, the phrase, "living close to the flame" reflects the brightness and daring of both of them. Can you see that in this tribute to them? I hope so!
The image comprises a friend's scan from the Diabolos tour book and my star screencap from the "Ama kakeru ryu no gotoku" DVD. The words are mine.
Earlier this year, Gackt was asked for the two guiding principles which reflected the way he lived and approached his work. His reply was "persistence" (not giving up - he used the proverb about dripping water wearing away a stone) and "willingness to try" (to take the risk of failure in the hope of a gain - he used the proverb about needing to go into the tiger's den if you want a tiger's skin). I thought that these two qualities were shown also by Kenshin in his defence of Echigo and his determination to build a better life for his territory (people).

no subject
Ah - you know I had a block for so long about this challenge, and then came all the PC woes. So, yes, finally I did submit something - even thought G and K each deserve so much more.
Ha ha - your moth comment is very funny! Surely, for moths, it is "DYing close to the flame"?
Thanks for checking the image, kind mingoes. I did the same - even downloaded the latest Firefox to check. I do foul up the tech sometimes but just can't find anything wrong here. ??? (if you could see my wrinkled eyebrows you would smile at lot!)
[ Ha - if any trojan steals my ID and sends you bad links - man, they are so dead! My uber-cool blade-wielding Gackt-fury avatar will slice their code into binary dust and feed it to their ancestors! ]
Good to see you here - thanks so much ;)
