GACKT as a Voice Actor Leaves Everyone Unquestionably Impressed.
In the new movie of Luc Besson "Arthus and the Revenge of Maltazard", GACKT will be making an appearance as part of the voice acting cast. As in the previous part, he will be taking over the role as the arch enemy of the main character.
[I really want to come up to the feelings of the director. So please expect something unlike GACKT, as you know him through music. I think it is interesting that I am taking a different approach on the impressions of my normal voice. Please look forward to it!] GACKT said with vivid enthusiasm.
The director commented on the continuous work with GACKT as a voice actor in the movie [Maltazard is an evil emperor, but this time, there is more of a tame approach to his character. I think it is a good way to also show a new side to GACKT. And the female fans will certainly have to watch it!]
Recently GACKT is working long nights through to complete his new [VISUALIVE DVD] and while his body seems to be demanding some rest, he keeps working hard for the fans, who are desperately waiting for the release of this new DVD.
However, this procedure seems to be coming to an end!
While checking the finished product on a large screen, a staff person commented [This is going to surpass THIS IS IT...]
[That person kept saying [Awesome, awesom] over and over again. We will be able to send this out to you very soon, which is a great relief.] GACKT himself commented.
So please look forward to the release of this DVD, just like GACJT wants you to!
SUGIZO and GACKT to Collaborate for Stage Production!!
Recently GACKT is busily involved in his "NEMURI×GACKT PROJECT" as Nemuri Kyoushirou, to which it has now been announced, that for the play [眠狂四郎無頼控 / Nemuri Kyoushirou Buraihikae], SUGIZO will be making his debut as a stage musician.
Alone for the reason, that the two of them have been members of S.K.I.N. this should be causing some attention.
Within the play [眠狂四郎無頼控 / Nemuri Kyoushirou Buraihikae] GACKT is taking over the role of the new hero Nemuri Kyoushirou.
It should be interesting to see, how GACKT is portraying the hero Nemuri Kyoushirou, after he had played the role of modern heros like Kamen Rider before.
Even more so, since said character played by GACKT is supported by SUGIZO himself.
In the interview SUGIZO has provided musicJAPANplus in 2010 he said, that he will give his very best as he himself does to make good music and to do the things whole heartedly.
With this said, it should certainly be great music he will be presenting.
On a more private note, SUGIZO said laughing that his goal for 2010 will be to [definitely find a girl-friend.]

GACKT Says "My Root of Music is Chopin" and Talks About How to Keep His beauty
Chopin has affected many Japanese artists including GACKT.
"It is Chopin that taught me beauty, resonance, pleasantness and sadness of music, it can give people courage and meaning of the notes that overlap one another. It's no exaggeration to say that my base of music is Chopin. Chopin's music strongly affected me, its allurement and charm. I want you to find out yourself." He commented on the site ETERNAL CHOPIN that introduces "ETERNAL CHOPIN" and other CDs of Chopin.
As a GACKT fan you should know his favorite animal, which are cats, hence cat mascots often appears on his stage. He has done photo shoots with two little cats in ROCK STAR vol.3. He said "I like how cats always keep their appropriate distance. I should learn from it." What does he really mean?
He also talks about how he maintains his beauty. He drinks special water with ascorbic acid and prefers eating Ashitaba, grown on Hachijo-Island in Japan. He recommends it to get rid of cellulite.
In ROCK STAR vol.2 he talks about seaweed to keep his beautiful black hair! He is eating hikiji, seaweed, everyday! But he hates that it looks like legs of cockroaches. Why did he start eating it? He says "I started getting bald!" This interview is hilarious! If you are a GACKT fan you must check out this issue!
