about R&R II DVD postponement
Nov. 20th, 2009 11:46 amryuik.livejournal.comI think everyone already knows that DVD's release has been postponed (and if I'm not mistaken, it's for 2nd time already, first date was about mid-November).
So for those who are wondering wtf - I think I have sort of an answer.
In the interview from Arena 37 C 12.2009 Gackt says that making this tour DVD is far more difficult than he expected. Cause he wants it to be a very special mix of movie and live show, something one has never seen before anywhere. And, of course, if there's nothing to compare with it and nothing to be based on, he has to explain it all in detail to his staff and they have to invent something from 0.
Main problems are with sound - he invited staff making sound for movies and staff making sound for live DVDs, and, of course, got lots of heated arguments between them ("if we do like that it's not going to be a movie anymore!" - "but if we won't do like that it's not going to be a live anymore"). So it seems it's really hard to find that balance between two things.
But Gackt seems to be satisfied with the result, he's very exited about this vid and proud of it, even now.
It makes me longing even more to watch this DVD asap, but at the same time I'm ready to wait as long as he needs to produce something exceptional that will surpass all my expectations.
I hope you feel the same.

Apr. 29th, 2009 02:39 amryuik.livejournal.comashura_oh kindly allowed me to x-post this translation here. Many thanks to her for this great work!
( B-Pass 2009/02 - Advance )
chikotori.livejournal.comI just watched Gackt's Nico Nico appearance on that site itself and I screencapped some of the funnier moments. Here they are with some commentary from me.
This is not a full translation or even a summary. I'm posting this mainly because I think no one should miss the final part of his message to the viewers :).
Please do not repost this anywhere without letting me know. I'll like to know where my blunders are when I have to fix them, haha.
( キラッ☆ )
P.S. I'm not sure how to tag this.

Ghost Keyword Interview translation
Apr. 18th, 2009 09:44 pmchikotori.livejournal.comHey, everyone :). I've just finished translating a Gackt interview. It's a keyword interview, so it's pretty short and full of random topics.
This interview is from the February 2009 issue of Arena 37c. Credits goes toryuik for scanning and sharing.
This is dedicated towongkk for being a wonderful person and getting me goodies from Japan. I hope you enjoy this, especially the last part since I remember you mentioning that you liked that part of the live.
( I have never lost in a staring contest. )

King's Brunch
Some of the discussion in this video: Gackt states his favorite food is kimchi, spicy Korean cabbage and that he likes to cook, he has (or had) four pets (we know of Eneru, of course, and Mei his cat, perhaps he is speaking of Belle, who passed on, not sure if he has another cat or not)
and most kawaii, that he wakes up in the morning and greets his sister (who lives above him in the same building) with a kiss.

Yokouchi Tadashi Blogs on Gackt's Concert!
Feb. 5th, 2009 07:12 amkaradin.livejournal.comYokouchi Tadashi had recently done a series of interviews with Gackt with portions on his blog with wonderful photos, as you may recall, he asked Gackt about his divorce.
Tadashi-san goes on to say how he was slightly unnerved to be one of the only males in the audience! And how impressed he was at the fan's excitement. He very much enjoyed the show, and speaks about the robot theme, and he was moved by the film at the end. He said he could almost feel the sweat coming off of Gackt during the concert! Tadashi-san also went to see Gackt backstage.
