The Another World MV just smells of Hong Kong - irresistible!
Oh, and he gets to do the smoking-in-defiance-of-stomach-wound bit at the end which is very Gackt and very HK (in 90s HK films there is always such a part for an actor/singer, Andy Lau Tak Wah, who specialized in the "devil-my-care doomed look" whilst driving/lying/riding a motorcycle in plenty of blood, and at least once leaving a girl running behind the motorbike in a wedding dress - truly. You get the idea!)
woohoo HongKong! xD When I first saw the clip I immediately thought, been there! walked that street! been in that "tingting" ^^ (HongKong Island, most likely Admiralty/SheungWan) Oh the lovely alleys. hehe Hope to see all that again next year. :)
Yeah, "tingting" trams in Hennessy Road. And all those disc shops piled to the ceiling with plastic CD cases like you never see in Europe, and a Stephen Chao movie playing on a screen over the door with a shop guy sitting in a high chair by the doorway - all those lovely things!
Oh yes, Andy Lau in Moment of Romance or As Tears Go By or God of Gamblers - I bet Gackt has watched all these too. He said somewhere that he is learning Cantonese so maybe Andy Lau and Gackt might share a screen one day.
Anyway, I agree with you that Another World is - if you know HK - another whole wonderful world.
You the safecracker is Win. If there's ever another Gackt movie, I hope there's a bigger part for You in it. I saw the HK casino featured n some travel show - I believe the hostesses get $600. an hour just to hang out with the high rollers.
