I fell in love with Final Fantasy back when they released FF7 here in germany. Since then I played every part of FF I could get my fingers on... And when I first heard of Square's plans to do more in the FF7-universe I was relly excited, 'cause it's one of my favourites.

Np!!


You're welcome! I'll PM you later btw
What FF game? Dirge of Cerberus? Yep sure, I love Final Fantasy series except for that horrible FFX-2 xD




Pics pics!!! From Pati>Pati Feb.2006 Some are from the concert so take care ne




^ I love the belt ^___^ I saw it in the video, but here it shows better.
















I'm going to make a wall with this one ^O^

*chuuu*



Ooooooohhhhhh... The pictures are really nice. Hehe...he's really inspiring, ne? It's tempting do do wallpapers and such...

^ Yep yep And I've put the words from Redemption on the wall


I've uploaded these pics for other thing, but I thought I should post them here too Are posted before, but are sooo~ nice












/Edit

I've uploaded a clip I hadn't watched until today:
Gackt - Another world and talk (Heyx3 Sakura special 2004.04.05) Link here!





Aww~ <333

^ This two caps are maybe from only one second, but waa~ *___* That eyes are devastating

im not. i never really got into games. but a few of my friends.....oh they do! lol. and i quote "when are we gonna forego daylight to play this?" yups. im like hmm.....okay. dun get me wrong. FF is by far one of the most beautiful games i have seen and the music is soo good. i just dont game. i sit and watch!

holy freak... he is THE SEX ICON! lol. sex me up gackt.

*laughs* That reminds me of the gool ol' times with my (now ex-) girlfriend...she's a gamefreak as well and back then I was sitting at the comp most of the time, looking for walkthroughs and stuff while she sat at the Playstation...we really were a good team. And we spent whole weekends just gaming, we rarely slept then and only had a snack every now and then. I loved it.



You did? Will you show us? I still have to upload mine, and I'm really curious to see yours.

The clip of Gackt with Hyde is already uploaded by yousendit Here.



Hehe ok It's quite simple, and also huge (1280x1024):

A few pics from Ryu's site






^ I think this is the Tokyo Dome.







^ Ohhh~ ^O^ Nya, Nya! The kids with the drums are cute

Gah! And I love Chacha's coat... But if you look at those pictures closely...they must have been on the train quite a while...it's daytime in the first but is't dark outside in the second...

Esti, the wallpaper is really nice, I like it. Okay, I've uploaded mine, it's HERE

*chu*

Thats what it use to be like with me and my step-dad. He would get home from work on a Friday night and whatever game he was playing at that moment. Then I would be like his second set of eyes telling him where badguys were coming from, or if there was something he missed. These were all first person shooter games, Metal Gear Solid, Metal of Honour (that was one of my faves to watch), and Silent Hill. We never did the walkthroughs until he had passed the game at least once. It's this strange sorta unwritten rule between me, my uncle, my cousin, and my step-dad.


That is really cool!!


Have I said lately how much I love You
He is perfect
Thanks Esti

Edit
Esti and Amber, I really like your walls!! Esti what font did you use on yours?

And I forgot that I said I was going to re-up those PV's... I'll start doing that in a few minuets

Yup, just like that. I remember one time she was playing Castlevania - Lament of Innocence and she just didn't know where to go so I had to look it up for her. After that I remained at the comp with the maps on the screen while in a second window I was checking some of my favourite forums and typing some homework in a third...

...sometimes I miss those times.



Thanks! And Esti I'd like to know which font you used as well. I'm always on the hunt for new fonts and brushes fpr Photoshop.

Woah yes that's true

Thank you!! Yours is nice too, I like the feathers ^O^


WAA!!! I love that games!! Metal Gear, Medal of Honour, and Silent Hill!!! Especially Silent Hill 2, it's one of the best games I've played

Pyramid Head rules!!!


You're welcome!! *chu*


It's called "Vivaldi" And thank you ne


Wo woo wowo!!!! I've ordered a copy of Redemption, but I've not could help listen to Longing I like it!!! Do you guys want to listen the single? Go here!!!

Hehe...the feathers just had to be...after all the symbolic birds in the PV I just couldn't resist.



"Vivaldi" *makes mental note*



Esti, I love you! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!

You're very welcome!



This is the Gackt schedule this next days

1/24 uv 表紙
1/25 Redemption single 発売

3/1 Love Letter single 発売 <- I have no idea about this

Gah, he's working his pretty butt off once again...baka Gakuto...seriously he should get some rest once in a while...*shakes head* Hm...another version of Love Letter maybe? Just a wild guess here.

^ Yep maybe; I'm curious to know how it will be ^___^


In the Oricon site there's a video where Gackt talks (About Redemption I guess). He looks like in the other comment from that site, but closer Like this:














He looks very pretty, but somehow a little bit tired I think...

*nods* Just like I said...he's working too much again, he really looks tired.

But I instantly fell in love with the silver bracelet he's wearing...I had one like that once, but mine was golden with red stones...I lost it a few years ago.

^ Gahh~ sorry Amber



Gekka no neko has posted a long comment about the Tokyo Dome live She has translated the MCs, and also this:

For the people who has already watched it, is when Ju-Ken & Cha are "invoking"...
Absolutely great!!! I love this and what appears after...


Btw, read this


ROLFLMAO!!!!!! SEX!!

Ah, it's alright. Whenever something like that happens it's for a reason. I've come to think that when I lose something like a bracelet or a necklace or something like that that it's time for it to move on to the next person...that it has served it's purpose for me...is that weird?



Oh, great, I was looking for those translations. Thanks, Esti! *chu*



Hm, that was a wig? I thought it was just partly added artificial hair, like the blue extensions he wore during Jougen no tsuki...*makes mental note to look for a wig* Just for my cosplay ...I found the perfect leather for the coat on eBay...I'm really tempted...

We never got to Silent Hill 2... He never passed the first one because we got stuck in to school and couldn't figure out how to get out. I went to look for a walkthrough then, but one wasn't made yet.


I love Longing...it sorta reminds me of Malice Mizer


That makes sense to me

wahh... thanks Esti ... for the pics, clips, songs, wallpapers! I like your wallpaper too AmberKid (using it now in fact)!

I found a couple of articles on Chinese websites and translated them. I guess they aren't new news but I hope to contribute sth to this thread!

16 Jan 2006

Gackt suddenly fainted during his “Gackt Live Tour 2006 DIABOLOS” in Korea. He had to be carried backstage to rest by the staff but he only rested for 5 minutes before continuing his performance.

The concert had progressed to the end of the third portion when the lights on the stage suddenly went off. Gackt then fainted suddenly and had to be carried down by 2 staff members. He only rested for a short 5 minutes before returning to the stage to sing and that did not affect his performance at all!

According to the staff, Gackt had fainted during his concert in Japan so the staff present at his concerts are always very worried. Two days earlier, Gackt had told the Korean reporters that he is very nervous over this concert in Korea. He must have been too nervous/worried that is why he fainted.

17 Jan 2006

Japanese artiste Gackt’s first overseas concert was successfully held in Korea, Seoul. Thus he has decided to hold similar large scale concerts in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan for his Asia Tour this year. Gackt has put in great effort for this concert in Korea, practicing his Korean vigorously. In the end, he was able to converse entirely in Korean with the fans for 20 minutes during the concert.

When he was interviewed by reporters after the concert, Gackt expressed that this was only the beginning and hope to continue. (learning Korean or holding more concerts in Korea? I’m not too sure) Gackt also said that he will be holding an Asian Tour and is planning to visit Beijing, Shanghai, HK and Taiwan by this year. They will be a starting point for the tour and he will also visit other countries.

In addition, the concert in Seoul cost around 1.2 billion yen (not too sure!). The scenes from his concert in Japan were reenacted in Seoul. Gackt performed a total of 17 songs, including his new single “Redemption” and attracted 8000 fans. Gackt also spoke with the Korean fans in Korean for 20 minutes, winning him thunderous applause from everyone. This is a good start to Gackt’s ambitious Asian Tour.

Another 2 pretty wallpapers I found of Gackt here and here. Not made by me!

EDIT

c_sraed of livejournal has uploaded the clip of Gackt on Heyx3 performing REDEMPTION. Go check it out!! It's awesome!

^ That's what I'm uploading too I'll post some screens.


I never thought it that way, but I think it makes sense to me as well


You're welcome!! And yep I thought it wasn't a wig
How much does the leather cost?


You say this because the sounds in the middle, right? At the beginning it reminds me of Dir en grey a little, just because the sound of the bass (I think it's the bass, from sec 0:24). I really like the song Have you guys listened to the instrumental version? it's very nice ^___^


Woooo thanks to you!!! ^O^ Thanks a lot!

I understand him being so nervous there in Korea, it's natural V_V



Screencaps from Redemption performance at Hey!x3. Really good, and I like the wind, it makes the Gackt's coat moves like in the PV










*________*




Ju-ken!!






Wooo pretty Chacha~

Amazing headbanging!













Wo Gakuto and the mike make an awesome image imo







Wo, this's from Euphoria Lj:

Sugoi Gakuto Gakuto, what an awesome man.
Hehe, that reminds me of when my bfriend and me were watching the Dirge of Cerberus video, when this appeared:

I said "Gakuto!!!"
Later my bfriend ask me why I knew he's Gackt I'm sure every of us can tell he's Gackt inmediately ne? I told him that, aside of the look & the outfit, I knew it because the way he walks; and my bfriend "huuuuun? the way he walks? Are u joking?" xDDDD



/Edit

Redemption performance - Heyx!3 23.1.2006 -> here.

Thanks you two. *hugs* I have a lot of people around me who don't understand my way of thinking. I'm glad that I found people who do.



Thanks. It's an honour for me that someone uses one of my wallpapers.



I still think it's extensions.
5,50€ per metre on eBay. I'm really tempted...there's no way I'll get it cheaper somewhere and it's good quality, too. I'm still thinking though, 'cause I'm gonna need beteween 4 and 5 metres in total...*sighs*



Chachaaaaaaaaa...



*laughs* I saw it was him immediately and I sqealed like a fangirl. My mother came running to see if anything was wrong...she thinks I'm completely out of my mind now...but do I care? Nope.

I like ChaCha's hairdo a lot in here! Arigato for the screencaps! I love the 'make it up!' bit, the singing, the lights, the head swinging (I half expect Gackt's hair extensions to fly off!), the mikestand ... ... I must have watched the clip at least 6 times by now.

xD Me too


Um, I'm not very fond of clothes material, but I think 30 € isn't very expensive for 5 metres of leather ^___^ Oh, I've just asked to my mum (is seamstress) and says that is a good price Ah, is the leather red?

Squealing is an habit for me now I squealed too when Cloud appears with the motorcycle


You're welcome! *chu* I love the "make it up" too!

I can get it even cheaper (5€) if I wait for the end of the auction and bid on it at the lowest price...And yup, it's burgundy-red, I think it's perfect. I saved the sample picutre: perfect colour is it not?




Me too. Normally I hate acting like a rabid fangirl but I just can't help it sometimes...

Oh, by the way...I've adopted a chibi-Chacha...isn't he cute?

WA!! It's perfect indeed!


!!! Sooo~ cute!!


Three pics:









And two gifs


xDDD


^ From the Sixth Day & Seventh Night

I was debating with myself if I should get it or not. I'll just do it!



It's from this site, she has even more of those... like this absolutely adorable You

Ohhh I know, I visited that site long since The chibis are very cute ^O^ I love the Black Stone one




From Gakuhai:












More:

omg i'm addicted to REDEMPTION!!!

^ It's really great ne? Have you watched the PV?
And Longing is great as well ^O^




From Sweiled, Oricon Style Jan.2006 pics







^ Uooohhhhh

Thats exactly why I say it ... I really like the instrumental version as well... if his next CD is going to sound like these two songs there's going to be a tie for first favorite.


Yea.. the way he walks.. and just carries himself altogether. He definatly has an aura about him.


My mom just ignores any sound I make while I'm on the computer now.


*hug* I know how frustrating it can be when no one understands your way of thinking


I forgot all about that site!!!

EDIT

Last night I was going through all my pictures (I was looking for one to play with in ps) and I found this

I really love him in a suit

and this is what I ended up doing in photoshop

XD yay gackt fans! XD
I'll put lots more pics later

^Gackt's got a bigger thread in the Other Celebs Pictures forum.
Btw, I love Gackt too! He's awesome..and I like his music and personality!

im surprised at the small number of gackt fans on soompi. hes so sexy imo.

what is his natural eye color? he always has colored contacts or sunglasses so i could never tell. oh and i read somewhere that hes not full japanese...is that true?

one more question: who's his ex-wife? anyone got a picture?

aw... i know, he makes it look good.
i wish he did more modeling, then i'll see more magazine pics/or run-way pics... ah... how nice that would be!

I agree!! ^O^

Very nice Melissa The moon, the piano, that words... what a nice combination



If someone wants to download a high quality version of Redemption PV (200 Mb), go here and download the .VOB link



















OMG *________*

He's soooo~ sooo~ SO BEAUTIFUL... *faints*

Hi guys...can anyone here post the website that has Gact diary again. I saw s.o. posted long time ago but i lost it....Thank a lots.

^ I don't know the site where Gackt does the diary entries but maybe you're talking about this site, there she translates the diary entries

Esti please, next time you start a picture fest here give out a warning, ok? You almost killed my computer...

But still...thank you! *chu*

^ Oh I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time.

It's no big deal...it just seems my comp has difficulties of processing so many (gorgeous) large pictures at once and I was nearly freaking because it wouldn't react anymore, telling me "not enogh virtual space available"...I was like "WTF???" Maybe I just need to defrag again...*shrugs*

*chu*

^ Um... has been your comp. many time on? Maybe your RAM memory was used up. You can see that on control+alt+del "Windows tasks administrator -> performance". Anyway, I'll put a warning next time

I'm going to post more caps from the concert now Since I think Melissa has already watched it hehe.

Did exactly that...performance seems to be just fine. Maybe I've just been juggling to many tasks for the poor thing...I closed Photoshop for now, it's taking RAM on a major scale. Whatever. *shrugs* But thank you anyway, if you put up a warning I can react before something like that happens again. *chu*

Sreencaps, yay!

Hehe, here they go~















^ He's a vampire, in fact I love this image.




Is awesome the strength and feelings he put in Ash...
