YOSHIKI x GACKT - X JAPAN's album got delayed because of GACKT?

On May 23rd YOSHIKI and GACKT aired a collaboration live broadcast titled "YOSHIKI CHANNEL× OH!!MY!!GACKT!!" from Roppongi nicofarre online.

During the broadcast the two sat on comfortable red chairs sipping Y by YOSHIKI wine. They talked about when they first met, revealing the fact that they drank 16 bottles of champagne together during their first meeting. Apparently on that day YOSHIKI was supposed to finish the editing for X JAPAN's album before the next morning, but instead ended up drinking champagne with GACKT until the morning. "It's GACKT's fault that X JAPAN's album was delayed", YOSHIKI laughed.

When describing GACKT, YOSHIKI said, "He is awesome, I mean, he puts out albums on time", to which GACKT replied, "That is n-o-r-m-a-l."

GACKT on the other hand said he hopes YOSHIKI would be "a bit more responsible", but later on during the show also said that "He (YOSHIKI) is a musician and his ideas are out of this world, so there's no need for him to be responsible. If we start to naturally fit into a pretty box, it means that we are over. So from that point of view, I think YOSHIKI is just the way a musician should be."
