One of my favorite older sites is back online, these are translations of lyrics by Mina P to Gackt's songs from the start of his solo career to Diabolos, with extensive notes.

For Christmas, I finally got RE:BORN, and of all the tracks on it that I adore, Oblivious, touched me the most. I'm at the point now in my Japanese studies where I can usually make out the chorus and a few verse phrases of most of Gackt-sama's songs the first time I listen to them. This time I heard:
nandomo koe ni naranai koe de, kimi no na wo sakendeita
"I have called your name so many times in a voice 'that is not a voice' (ie. soundless)"
and thought that idea was so sadly beautiful, I wanted to know more. So, here's my interpretation:

And you'll find they are mostly in English! With a photo of the costume similar to our fave orange-pants silver hoodie Gackt wore in the Papa Lapped video of yore - and the Mercury guitar.

*POST EDIT - Gackt has now announced in lives that this song is dedicated to his 'Father' Ogata Ken.

Gomen nasai, the General's internet was down for two days due to cold weather, but here are your updates.

Youkouchi Tadashi Conversations with Gackt Vol.3
http://www.jisin-blog2.jp/yokosama/2009/01/gackt-vol3-f4ad.html

In this section, Gackt talks about the ancient Japanese tradition of the woman following her man three steps behind, and how modern Japanese women do not view this in the proper way, that it is not to make a woman feel less equal, but it is a man's way of showing that he will care for and protect his woman (standing in the line of fire) Gackt also states that what he finds most beautiful in a woman is a smiling face, age to Gackt, does not matter.

Youkouchi Tadashi Conversations with Gackt Vol.4
http://www.jisin-blog2.jp/yokosama/2009/01/gacktvol4-c0da.html

In this section, Gackt speaks of being divorced at the age of 20. He says that it was difficult keep the relationship and work on making a band successful at the same time, and he felt he must either pursue a career, or keep the marriage. He says that is difficult to be the wife of an entertainer, a full-time job on it's own.

Thanks to karadin for asking/letting me share this here.
First and foremost please do note that this may NOT be accurate or the exact lyrics to the song
There's no source/reference for me to compare it with so I really cannot be certain if its entirely correct. m(_ _)m

ExpandLyrics and a question behind the cut :) )

I still remember the day when I first met you
As the soft wind swung your hair, you looked just at me
You surely thought that I would be there with you more than anyone else
If I was with you, I thought that even I could smile

I didn't realize that letting go would be this painful
I pretended that and kept running until today....

You kept crying after I vanished, and I worried about you
But then I saw you walking close with someone I didn't know
You've grown up a bit, and laughed so beautifully
Never again, you won't cry again, you won't cry again
Show me your smile


Lyrics:  by Gackt, a section of Missing, from the Moon album.  Image:  Unknown photographer (does anyone know?)   Model:  Sayoko Yamaguchi , about 1980, so Gackt would have been a little boy when this was taken.  This picture would go well with Returner, too, hmm?
