I'm glad that lots of Gackt's fans immediately thought of his loss when they heard this news. Gackt was very open about his relationship with Ogata so it's good to know that the significance for him was recognized and that the same openness was shown by fans.

I'm sure the funeral was very difficult for Gackt - will always bring back lots of other ghosts as well, I think.

Thanks for the translation and for showing us Gackt's message.
