GACKT to participate in a live video program

Earlier today it was announced that on June 25th, Nico Nico Douga and GACKT will once again collaborate to bring an exclusive live program, “GACKT to Nico Den ~ Konna Toki Dakara Koso, Waratte Kure~” (“GACKT and Nico Telephone ~We Have to Smile Especially During These Times~”).

This 1-hour program will give a chance for the audience to talk to GACKT through “Nico Nico Phone”. In other words, if they meet the terms and conditions of the show, anyone will have a chance to have a conversation with GACKT.

As the only term and condition for this show, the viewers have to talk about an “event in their lives that will make people laugh.” Since the Great Tohoku Earthquake on March 11th, GACKT felt that people are smiling less and less and is bringing a program that will bring back people’s smiles. With those feelings, GACKT asks the audience to help him improve the country even a little.

Even with that said, it will be hard to tell an interesting event on the shows unless you have one. So, Nico Nico Douga and GACKT are urging as many people as possible to participate in this event to possibly bring back smiles on people’s faces.

The exclusive program will be broadcasted live on Nico Nico Douga on June 25th at 11 P.M. JST.

GACKT reveals his bad luck with cars and gives advice

On February 24th, singer GACKT participated in a live video program on popular site Niconico Douga, where he revealed his bad luck with cars. During the show, GACKT gave advice to 10 users (which were chosen at 1 in 5000 odds) on dealing with misfortune.

One female user said she was caught in a fire twice in the last 5 years, to which GACKT replied, “I’ve broken my car in accidents 13 times.” But, he added, since he is alive, although he draws trouble, he also has the luck to get out of it. He attempted to cheer up the young lady by saying “It’s people who have the luck to get out of trouble that end up surviving longer than normal lucky people. You have the [former] kind of luck so you’re like me.”

Another user said he came to Tokyo from Hokkaido for work but since then, he hasn’t been able to stop coughing. Without missing a beat, GACKT shouted, “You, go to the hospital!”

GACKT also showed his sweet side to a fan who said she missed out on his summer live by managing to only bring the ticket stub to the concert. He told her humorously, “That’s not your misfortune. It was my misfortune not being able to see you.”

After the event, GACKT said he “hasn’t had this much fun in a while. This type of thing is good.” The radio program had the most number of viewers in Niconico history, attracting around 154,000 users.
