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).

Though, "living close to the flame"..it sorta reminds me of moths.. ^^'.. not that Kenshin/Gackt is moth!!! All depends on how you view it.
But as you once said: rather be brave dust than not. ^^

your posts are always so thought out and clever. Thanks so much for sharing! I think this is my second favorite entry from you! :D cuz it allows me to gush about him! LOL
