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).

Pleased that you liked the poem ideas here and the screen cap - I sure understood what Gackt meant about persistence when I was trying (time beyond my meagre counting abilities) to pause on the exact frame for the maximum flash!
Actually my original screencap WOULD make a good wall: it is much brighter and with more colour than the pic you see here (I had to mute the colours and make the image 30% transparent to get a coherence with the Diabolos picture).
"so thought out"? Sigh. There was so much to think about with this topic that I wrote out a whole A4 side of themes (hee - like a school project). I worked up about 5 of the themes (yeah, usual picpoem pieces) and tried to post 2 or 3 more of them to GA but they looked crap cos they don't fit the layout width; I'll try to upload to the LJ gallery at the w/e to see if I can grab a permitted link to a new window and a bit more width. My ideas are often just too darn FAT to squish into 400 pixels!
Thanks for leaving an enthusiastic bunch of comments. Hey, you're the Mod of a Gackt-Kenshin specific comm - if YOU can't gush over a bit of Gackt-as-Kenshin, who can?
