Gackt in Josei Jishin Magazine

[karadin.livejournal.com]

This issue features conversation between Gackt and Yokouchi Tadashi

This article will feature Gackt's early marriage and divorce at the age of 20, discussion of things that Gackt learned from his dear departed friend Ogata Ken, and Gackt's idea of what an ideal marriage would be like.

*We know a few facts about Gackt's marriage, and those come from his autobiography Confessions (Jihaku)  he married a Korean woman whom he met when they were both working in the same casino. Gackt admitted this was so she could claim a Japanese nationality, their divorce came about in part because she was taken ill - this was exacerbated being hounded by fans - as Gackt was becoming well-known.

We do not have a definitive date on when the divorce took place before, during or after his stint as frontman with the band Malice Mizer - much as we do not even have a definitive age for Gackt himself -  Gackt has stated that he and his former wife are still friends. He also said in Jihaku he would never marry again, and never wants to have children. Perhaps Gackt's idea has changed?

But whatever makes Gackt happy, will make us happy, in recent appearances, he certainly seems to be enjoying himself! Ganbatte Gackt-sama.

I have amended the post to show that we don't know a detailed timeline, I deleted while trying to edit my response to your comment.

Ah yeah. When my comment was deleted your post wasn't edited yet, so obviously I thought that was unfair. As if your conclusion about his age was right and mine not :P
