Gackt CHAPTER.3
Keyword Questions 50 & Making Photo
RNM Special Edition
It has been a while since Gackt last appeared on RNM’s cover article. The theme of the photo shoot this time focuses on “life and death” and is linked deeply with Gackt’s world of music. We were going for an aristocratic (lit. noble) feel (for the photoshoot) and requested a complete change from the usual outfit to a formal suit. Gackt cut a dashing figure as he walked into the photo studio after he has tidied up his hair and (changed) clothes. As usual, he looked at us one by one and shook hands with us while saying, “Yoroshiku ne.” [1] And the photo shoot began.
[1] Hmm, something like a form of greeting when you start work or when you have a favour to ask of someone…
In order to create the background (lit. atmosphere) needed for this photo shoot, we decided to add (computer) effects. You can see from looking at the off shots that there aren’t any mansion-like houses or even smoke (to create the effect). [Do note that the sofa and silverware are real items] Gackt only had difficult instructions from Mr.K, the editing staff and cameraman, to work with such as, “There is an entrance hall behind you though it’s not there,” or “We are now in the room of a Western-style house," but he captured the look (well). For the photo shoot on the sofa, he personally (suggested), “Isn’t it better if (I’m holding a) cigarette?” And got ready the cigarette as a small prop! (The image of) Gackt smoking under a slightly gloomy atmosphere is just too striking!!
And the focus of this cover article, the keyword interview which looks at the "current Gackt", was held at the same time as the photo shoot. During the interval between changes of settings and checking of lightings, Gackt easily answered the questions that writer, Ms.T, mercilessly shot at him. One memorable part was when Gackt drank Joa (!?) during a break.
I asked a friend what Joa is and she replied, “Joa is a calcium drink for kids. Maybe it’s not only for kids but can you imagine Gackt drinking it in his short break? It’s this REALLY tiny little juice box thing.”
The photo shoot ended earlier than expected, probably because everybody was concentrating hard on it. And of course, at the end Gackt shook hands with the staff one by one again and said, "Arigatou ne." [1] Looking forward to the next time again!
[1] Thank you

Q.7 Your favourite outfit for the winter season?

Q.8 What were you obsessed with in year 2005?

Q.13 Name me a MANGA that you like in year 2005!
Ans: “太陽の黙示録” by かわぐちかいじ (Kawaguchi Kaiji) I like their thoughts on China’s capitalism and communism, and the way they view Asia. It’s very similar to the world view I have in mind. There are many things in the book that I agree with as I read it.

Q.26 The language you intend to master currently?
Ans: I’ve been revising my Chinese and Korean lately. I read grammar books alternately every day.
Q.27 An advice for someone who wants to learn a new language!
Ans: Probably making friends (with a native speaker)? A faster way would be to find a girlfriend or boyfriend. (You can learn it) fast if you find a girl/boyfriend.
Q.28 What is piano to you?
Ans: I wonder what it is… even now there is still a hesitation before I start playing. It’s an instrument filled with memories and traumas, I think. It is filled with my traumas. So there is a (certain) resistance to (playing) it.
Q.29 Any favourite pianist? Please tell me!
Ans: None who still lives. I like Rachmaninoff, and also Debussy.
Q.30 Which classical CD did you listen to most frequently?
Ans: I wonder which that would be. I do listen to a lot of piano suites. I don’t listen to so-called trios or suite. [1] It would be between orchestra and piano. Chopin has suites, right? I listen to those mostly. I think “悲愴” and “革命” [2] are great, because I like Chopin’s sad melodies very much. I do want to play it, but my skills are no longer good enough to play for others.
[1] He said 小組曲 here and it’s rather different from the suite in that it contains a few different kinds of dance music.
[2] The first one is “hisou” and the second one is “kakumei”, and after checking, and michiyo_fr suggested that it might be "Revolutionary Etude" and "Etude Tristesse". As I have no knowledge of any classical music, do let me know if you have any other suggestions.
Q.31 Any piano piece you sing along to which is definitely effective in wooing girls?
Ans: There isn’t any! None, definitely none. Because it’s spontaneous, and you play what you feel at that time. But because I rarely play it (for others), it has a special meaning to it (when I do). I don’t play it to seduce everybody, you see, only to someone special will I play the piano.
Q.32 The period of time you make music.
Ans: There isn’t either. It’s not fixed at all.
Q.33 The work you like to do most and hate to do most in recording?
Ans: I hate pre-production. I like recording drums; it’s comforting watching it. Indeed, the tune won’t be good if we don’t do the drum well, since it's the foundation. I think recording the drum is important. The drum and bass are important.
Q.34 Do you write the lyrics on the computer? Or is it handwritten?
Ans: Handwritten. It is written by hand and after that, I type it into the PC.
Q.35 (Any kind of) notebook you are particular about for writing lyrics?
Ans: None for notebooks; but I’m particular about pens. That is why I prepare many different kinds of pen. I choose the pen to use according to my mood. I use a variety of colours too. Red, green, etc. Mainly I write using ballpoints. I collect a lot of ballpoints and fountain pens and use them according to my mood.
Q.36 Which part of body do you find most attractive (lit. your charming point)?
Ans: Collarbone……?
Q.37 Complex?
Ans: My short legs
Q.38 Dream car?
Ans: Birdcage
Q.39 Which driving route would you recommend for couples?
Ans: Hmm, Rokkou (六甲) is good.[1] I think the best would be the back of Rokkou. What I meant by the back of Rokkou is the (part) not facing the front. The back of Rokko is not as popular (lit. minor) but the scenery is beautiful.
[1] Rokkou usually refers to Mount Rokkou (rokkousan), a mountain area found in Hyogo prefecture, Kobe city.
Q.40 Please tell me a dream you had recently.
Ans: (Dreamt that) my friend’s company went bankrupt. (laughs)
Q.41 What did you dream of becoming when you were ten years old?
Ans: I wonder what it was. I was extremely pessimistic (lit. negative) when I was ten years old, so I had planned to destroy the earth. Really. I was very against human beings. I thought that the existence of human is the one thing that this world had no need of. I’ve changed a lot since then though.
Q.42 The way to realize your dream.
Ans: A strong will, I think. And then action.
Q.43 Ideal way of dying
Ans: It will be great if I can pass away smiling.
Q.44 What do you aim to do as an entertainer?
Ans: That would be the extent to which I can push people’s back. Anyone can darken a person (‘s life). Even in sad movies, if we can’t let the other person have the will to move one step towards the future ahead, then there is no meaning to our existence. If it’s just to say that oh, it’s great; or oh, that’s sad or painful, anyone can do it. I think what I can do is to make the other person take one step forward into the future. That is why I create as much place where fans can communicate with me as possible. They can send messages to me through my official homepage and everybody’s voice can reach my PC. I receive around two thousand mails in one day. Of course I read all of them every day. I can’t reply to all, but I will when I see an interesting mail. There are also times when I was encouraged by those mails. They give me the strength to live. Not all of the things we do will be rewarded, but even so, if there are such moments that can make me think “I’m really glad I’m doing this,” then those are truly happy moments.
Q.45 What do you imagine yourself to be in your previous life?
Ans: Maybe the devil. Probably something that isn’t human.
Q.46 Frankly, (which type do you think) will become your bride?
Ans: The one who will become my bride…… is probably someone with a beautiful smile.
Q.47 The keyword of year 2005?
Ans: “If I can’t clear this, I’ll retire.”
Q.48 A word to your own self for finishing year 2005.
Ans: You’ve worked hard.
Q.49 Keyword for year 2006?
Ans: One step from here on. One large step. In order to find my place in Asia as “one who is committed to uniting all Asians”.
Q.50 What do you wish for the world for year 2006?
Ans: Hmm, to be able to create a bright future for children. For that I will do all that I can.

Comments:
5,6,7 - Hahaha, he keeps talking about his new blouson. Gackt, you love the blouson. WE GET IT. XD
9,13 - I've never heard of those titles before. :O It makes me wonder again where he found the time to read books/manga and watch movies/animes. X3
Aah, would be nice if he can go snowboarding often this year~
22 - *COUGHS COUGHS*
27 - I have to agree with him. You can learn a language fast if you are exposed to it all the time. ^^ And it helps that there is someone who knows the language and can correct yours. Practice makes perfect~
35 - That's.... cute about the pens. X333
36 - Now he's making me sensitive about his collarbone too. *stares* XD;;
37 - *blinks* >.>
41 I thought that the existence of human is the one thing that this world had no need of. I’ve changed a lot since then though. - ^^ He has changed completely from then. But then, it's also sad how a ten-year-old can have such thoughts. :/
There are also times when I was encouraged by those mails. They give me the strength to live. Not all of the things we do will be rewarded, but even so, if there are such moments that can make me think “I’m really glad I’m doing this,” then those are truly happy moments.
Honestly, I cried when I read this part. I feel so touched by those words.
Did it make you believe too? Did it put faith in your hearts as well? ^^
50 - Beautiful answer. :D If there is anyone else worth fighting for other than our loved ones, it would be children. I feel that children represents innocence and dreams. How many times have we forgotten what we felt when we were young? Of what we have lost...? Great answer. ^^

I collect a lot of ballpoints and fountain pens and use them according to my mood.
*so amused* i do that too! a lot of stuff in this made me laugh and there were other things i do too xD you wouldn't mind if i quoted a few things in my lj, would you? ^^ ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/40220896/5789565) | | From: | ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=91.7) sweiled |

XD You do that too? Aah, I do have a few coloured pens, but I have no idea why since I don't use them at all. XD
Nope, go ahead! I don't mind at all~~ :D About the pens... he's so particular, but it's so cute at the same time. *laugh*
Legs.. short?? *blinku* Er... (How much taller do you want to be, Gackt??)
About email... That is so so true. We don't realize sometimes how much we affect people. Seeing a comment in the mailbox saying that we have helped someone else, or that someone else appreciates what we have done, it gives a very good feeling.

Hahaha, yeah, that was amusing. =^^=
XD He is tall but he has disproportionate body. ^^
Oh, totally. The other party might think it's normal or nothing special to thank someone for doing something, but the person receiving it will feel it. It brightens up one's day to know that they have helped someone in some ways.

Wee, translations. Since I haven't gotten my newsmaker yet (shipping it along with like 4 other magazines and stuff @A@), this was really entertaining! The 50 questions, that is.
Hrm, comments...
Blouson... expensive... (dies)
But it is kind of surprising to know that he hasn't bought anything for a year. Not often a celebrity does that, but it just shows how he can spend the extra money on giving to fans his best rather than spending on his own pleasures. It's really a comforting, and at the same time, admirable thought.
It's comforting to know that even with his busy schedule, he manages to find time to read books, watch movies, etc. It makes him seem more like a person who knows when to relax and when to work. I hope he isn't over-working himself, though, if he has the time to read, watch movies, but only get 3 - 4 hours of sleep!
Yes, make friends. Cheri teach Gackt Mandarin and French :O!
And that complex about short legs...? Uhm? Erm...? I don't see it...? @A@...?
If Gackt were my godfather, I think I'd die in infancy, or almost anyway.
The last bits are quite inspiring, all the things he said. I really believe he can accomplish his dreams because he will action them. Gackt has always been inspiring, especially with those bits of quotes and what nots. I really need to start up that notebook with all his quotes again. Of course, I probably won't have too much time to update it. Oh well, see what I can do.
:D Hi Gackt, I have a beautiful smile...?
Erm, anyway, the destroying the whole world thing just makes me think of chibi-gackt with horns and devil tails, drawing out a plan on paper with crayons on how he'd like to demolish human kind.
Hey, it's kinda cute xP ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/42188848/5789565) | | From: | sweiled |

Ahahahhahaa... thanks for reading. :3
Hmm, yeah, he did buy that sofa in Asutralia last year. :O But it is rare that an artist doesn't spend a lot of money on personal items.
^^ At least when he is not recording, he'll have more time. Like photoshoot or TV appearances, he'll still have the time to watch and read during breaks or when travelling between places. What I found amazing is that he doesn't sleep when there is break time, instead he uses it to do more prodcutive things like watching movies or reading~ I would be snoring like a pig if I were him. >.>
If Gackt were my godfather, I think I'd die in infancy, or almost anyway.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! XDDDD
Oooh, are you thinking of doing that? Hee, I was thinking of doing quote by fans. ^^
XD; Sou, sonna kanji. Lil Gackt planning and plotting with crayons. *squeeees* OMG I totally thought of Gackt when I was watching Howls Moving Castle... how funny. ^_^
Drinking Game from Hell... Gackt is so cute... I would like to see him get really wasted, Im sure he'd be very funny!
Gackt's legs look long cuz he is so skinny but they are very short, haha its cute he has a complex cuz it makes him more human.... IMO he is still the most perfect being on this planet or any other... but its kinda refreshing to see him say that.
I wrote him an email with my little chibi and I told him he gave me the strength to move forward when I could not... I wanted so bad for him to reply but I at least hope he read that. ^_^
And I have a nice, white, straight smile Gakuto!!! XD XD XD eeeep! where are my manners!
Thank you! thank you! thank you! XD First off...
Imee, did I forget to send you Saori's answers to that one question?! OMG, if I did, I'm so sorry! I seriously can't even remember!
Something told me that he would actually write out the music and then put it on the computer. I think that's a good way though, because it's probably easier to think clearly when you actually put pen to paper! ^^
OMG, yay, I love Howl's Moviing Castle! And it's Saori's favorite ever.
That thing about the mails really did make me touched. I've always wondered if my Christmas card made it to him, and reading that makes it seem like it did, even if it didn't. ^^
Thanks for the wonderful job! :3 | | From: | sweiled |

Hahaha, that's okay. I asked Jeannie and she replied me. ^^ I'm already thankful for all the help previously. ;D
X3 I do translations on paper too, because it's much more convenient. :D But then the typing into the computer... >.> tiring yo.
XD That anime was pretty good! :D I still prefer Spirited Away though~
^^ I'm sure it did. And I'm also sure that he read it.
You are welcome, sweetie! "If it’s overseas, I would like to go to Switzerland."
Nooooo! Make it Austria! :) Not that I'd ever met him there since I don't go skiing anymore. No one to ski with :( | | From: | sweiled |

Hahahahaha... XD XD I don't even know how to ski/snowboard/winter-sports ;O; WHAT. Gackt, you don't have short legs! I, a legal dwarf, have short legs! My great-gramma was like.. 3 foot something. MY DAD IS 4'6". My whole family IS TINY, TINY, TINY. Gackt, you do not have SHORT LEGS.
*pissed* XD
Aww, but I think it's wonderful that he likes clothes so much! I like clothes too ^^ I'd love to converse with him about his blouson. XD My aunt owns a rather large clothing store, mostly vintage stuff, so I love messing around with clothing ^^ I want to learn to sew like my sister and Gramma, but they never teach me *cough* ja~~~
Q.22 What gives you warmth during winter?
Ans: Human skin
That is a very cheeky Gackt thing to say :P but funny!
I like Rachmaninoff, and also Debussy.
:D I like Debussy lots~~ he creates some very sorrowful moods. but I honestly haven't heard much Rachmaninoff. ...I'll have to fix that..
Q.41 What did you dream of becoming when you were ten years old?
Ans: I wonder what it was. I was extremely negative when I was ten years old, so I had planned to destroy the earth. Really. I was very against human beings. I thought that the existence of human is the one thing that this world had no need of. I’ve changed a lot since then though.
... I'm laughing at this answer because... I had the exact same plan when I was that age. I don't think it's normal at all, but I really did feel exactly the same as that. When I was 10. It's a lot more elaborate that just "I wanted to destroy the world", I actually had it all planned out and was preparing to kill everything :P It sounds really funny, but when you're serious and you feel that hopeless about everything, it doesn't really seem so funny anymore.
I am more than glad that he's changed. I am glad that I changed too.. but it is very eerie that we thought so similarly at that exact age, and we think so similarly now. Though he's like in his 30s, and I'm like.. NOT. XD It is something interesting..
Q.50 What do you wish for the world for year 2006?
Ans: Hmm, to be able to create a bright future for children. For that I will do all that I can.
:) That's a gorgeous way to end the questionnaire. | | From: | sweiled |

*FANS YOU* XD XD Calm down, lady!! Hahaha, he doesn't have a proportionate body, that's the problem. ^^ Luckily I do. Sorta. XD
XD; I'm HORRIBLE with clothes and fashion. I don't know what is what or how to differentiate materials. It's comfortable, I wear it. XD I'm the kind who chooses convenience/practicality over beauty. :D Of course I do like to dress up every now and then. It's good to know that I'm still a girl at heart. XD
*NODS* I went @@; and then ;O;, because no kid should ever have that thought.
I'm glad he has changed too. ^^ Oh well, you know what they say, girls mature WAY EARLIER than boys. XD
:D :D :D :D methinks so too~ omgggggggggg...>_<
we have so much in common! i LOVE rachmanioff. he's also likes chopin and debussy! and i played the pathetique (beethoven).
howl's moving castle! I saw it 3 times.

XD That always happen to me~!
He is MAD about that blouson. XD
this made me laugh so much XD but it was expected by him as well XDDDDD
XD That one made me blush like hell. XD XD
Hey, I totally know what you mean. XD I have a few coloured pens but I NEVER use them. XD I use a standard black pen and that's about it. I thikn I just like looking at all the shiny colours in my pencil box. *-*
EVILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! XD i laughed so much when i read this XDDDDDDDDDD i know he didnt mean it seriously.. but its such.. an interesting dream! XD
XD XD Doesn't it?? I was hahaha-ing when I read this part. XD;;
He will read it. ^^ And he knows English too, so it won't be a problem. ;D
*nods* It has happened to me a few times. Sometimes I get emails from people instead of comments here, and it always brightens up my day. And sometimes it even comes at the right moment, when I'm done or needed some cheering up. :D It's nice to hear a kind word from someone. ^^
I agree~ I love that last question and his answer to it. ^^
HAHAHAHAHAHHA... XDD Well, I do the same. When I comment on my own translations, I read the whole thing again and choose the ones I want to comment on. X3
You are very welcome, sweetie!! ^^ *hugglies back* ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/107675748/1369659) | | From: | miyun |

| | looong comment, sorry >>;;; | (Link) |
|
Well I got to about question 20 or so (in my own translating) before I got frustrated and set it aside and forgot about it >>;;; But so far what I got was pretty mcuh correct, which made me happy. It just took me about ten thousand years longer than everyone else -_-
3. "managed" to get three hours of sleep, Gatchan? THAT IS NOT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT!! -_-;;;;
6. That impressed me to hear that. I mean just thinking of all the celebrities who go out and just blow huge sums of money on clothes and houses... and then there's Gackt with his little blouson. ^^ Even though he DID spend a lot on it. 5-6 million yen hoooo boy that's a lotta money!
8. I didnt get it when I first read it and I still don't get it now: what's he mean when he says "around rank B."?!?! Rank B of what? How? What? >>;;;
10. Awww he cried ^_____^ *holds him close, strokes his hair, gets her lights punched out* @_@;;
12. I looked up the kanji for Fukuoka and I couldn't understand what they meant together... and I was so frustrated until I plugged them into babelfish... and got Fukuoka. Duh. -_- I guess babelfish CAN be useful!
16. "Too much bad news to count"?! Ahhh! No! Gatchan! ;_;
17. I think I died when I read that. SO CUTE. Dude, if Gackt were my godfather... I'd be one lucky kid O_O
20. Ohhhh so THAT'S what he meant by "my level is too high". I was like.... Gatchan... WHAT'S TOO HIGH?? Your level, yes, but your level of WHAT?!
22. "Human skin" *blushes* That could be taken two ways >>;;;
23. I cordially invite Gackt to the "luxury" (XD) of spending next Christmas with me, a girl ^_______^
25. What is zouni? Never heard o_O
26. That's just amazing. Grammar books every day. @_@ He's so freakin smart
27. Find a Japanese boyfriend so that I can learn Japanese? -_-;;; yeah I wish. Wanna volunteer for that, Gatchan?
28. Why is there hesitation, dear? You play beautifully ^___^ <3
30. He doesn't think he has the skill? ._. That... is BS. >>;; I've played piano for 13 years, I can appreciate the incredible pianoness he possesses XD
31. I would give nearly anything to have him play the piano for me *__*
33. Pardon me for being STUPID, but what does one do in pre-production?
35. Hehe, pens. I like chewing on them. Note to self: if you run into Gackt, stay away from his pens >>
36. Most attractive feature: Collarbone, eyes, face, nose, lips, hair, skin, ass, belly....*rambles on*
37. Hehe even Gatchan has a complex ^^;;; Well I've always thought that he's had rather... odd-looking legs, I never thought they were short though ._.
38. wtf?!?! Can you picture that? *dies* XD
39. Where's Rokko? ._.
41. Destroying the earth at ten? Wow I guess he's always had big ambitions, eh?
42. Still working on this one myself -_-
43. That's a very Gackt answer.
44. If only he knew. If only he knew. I think he'd be very happy. ^^
45. The devil? x_X;;;
46. Once again... a very Gackt answer. You know what sucks though? I hate smiling x_X I think it makes my cheeks look really fat.... >>
47.,48.,49. More very Gackt answers ^^ And I've said it before, and I'll say it again... I feel left out ._. I'm just a poor little white girl, don't forget me! Y_Y
Thanks so much dear ^^d *buys you... cool stuff? yes*

8. My guess is that players are ranked according to their skills. :D I don't know how good Rank B is, but since B is after A, I think it should be pretty good? >.>
12. Hehe, yeah ^^; Fukuoka is a name of a place~
20. Aah, that's what I interepreted it as. :D Inferred meaning of sorts. Level too high = busy = tight schedules. ^^ Especially since he mentioned schedules in the previous sentence. :D
22. *blushes along* >__>
25. It's like a mochi served in soup. :D
26. I KNOW!! @_@;; I'm too lazy and get distracted too easily to be able to do that.
28. I think it's because it reminds him of something...? If you use something as a way to block the memories and pains, isn't it a bit like escaping? Hmm, how should I put it? You just won't play is as naturally as you ought to, because those pains and memories are right there at the back of your mind.
33. I don't really know either. @@
37. XD Well, you can tell easily that he doesn't have a proportionate body. ^^
39. Me don't know either. ._.
44. I do think he knows. ^^
46. ^^;; You look fine when you are smiling! I love to smile. :D Because it makes my day happier~~

EXPENSIVE much? @_@
I think not even tetsu would spend so much on one piece of clothing. On a useless white brand-name house trinket, yes, but not clothes. XD;;
Ahaha! I gotta get a Japanese boyfriend slave practice partner. >_>;;
Drinking party from hell, eh? Maybe he should drop by Danger Crue's...

XD XD For me, I rarely spend much on clothes. I spend my monye on my obsessions, ie Gackt and manga. >.>
XD!! Oye, grab one for me if you see any too, okay? >.>
That place sounds wacky just by the name of it. @_@
The Q&A this time aren't as funny as the Oricon ones though. Well, it's still all right, I guess. :D And yeap, he makes the boring questions interesting. X3 ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/24621494/3190618) | | From: | tarogirl |

"5,6,7 - Hahaha, he keeps talking about his new blouson. Gackt, you love the blouson. WE GET IT. XD"
But he wants us to be sure! *laughs* So cute, sounds like a kid with a new toy. XD
"Did it make you believe too? Did it put faith in your hearts as well? ^^"
Yes it did. But then I always had faith. ^^
And I've always loved his collarbone. And his "short" legs. (whatshortlegs?) | | From: | sweiled |

XDDDD totally~~
XD!! The short legs comment is creating a hoo-ha here~~ XD I always love these 50 questions things. The short direct questions and the short direct answers can at times really give a good glimpse of what's in his mind. Even when's he's making jokes.
19: *invites him to come to Fiss in Austria next year* =D
28&31: Somehow that just makes me want to hug him.
41: There are times when I share that view. When I think it would be for the best if many (if not all) people were just plain wiped out...
There are also times when I was encouraged by those mails. They give me the strength to live.
That is such a beautiful thing to hear as a fan, isn't it?

This was great to read; thanks for translating! ^^
I bought a blouson during the tour, partly to relieve stress.
This is probably a silly question, but what exactly is a 'blouson'? Like a jacket or something? o.o
Q.14 Name me an anime that you like in year 2005!
Ans: Probably “ハウルの動く城” (Howl’s Moving Castle)
I'm obsessed with this movie. I just knew Gackt would like it!
My friend had a baby, born this month. I was asked to be godfather.
Aww, that's sweet ^^
Q.27 An advice for someone who wants to learn a new language!
Ans: Making friends, isn’t it? A faster way would be to find a girlfriend or boyfriend. (You can learn it) fast if you find a girl/boyfriend.
That's what I do! It only works if your boyfriend actually wants to teach you his language, though. Otherwise you end up having to meet his grandmother & not being able to say a word to her O.o
Q.37 Complex?
Ans: My short legs
What is he talking about?!

Thanks, and you are welcome!! ^^
I have no idea either. ._.;; I don't know much about clothes. This is what I got from dictionary: "A garment, such as a dress or shirt, with a fitted waistband over which material blouses." :/ He needs to wear it out. X3
*grins* I wasn't entirely surprised when he gave Howl's as an answer.
O.O Right... Thanks for the tip. XDD

^^ It's good to know that what we do makes a difference, isn't it? I don't write to him often at all; in fact, probably only once or twice. :D Because I've always felt that me writing one letter means one more letter that he has to read. ._.;; And so I don't write unless it's something important. :3 ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/61898185/7037982) | | From: | fujipuri |

Blouson is a loose shirt, right? Was he saying that he spent 5,6 million on clothes after a yr of not buying any? *ish confused*
Aside of that, thank you for the translation, Imee ^^ Wonderful as always and I love reading this kind of questionnaires. Gackt gave interesting answers.
He got time to watch movies and read manga/books?! He's so busy and he still got the leisure time.. I really admire this man.
Hehe, I collect pens too and lots of stationary items. Barely use them all, but it's all so cute and pretty and colorful ^^;
Short legs? He got short legs?! Yeah right.. I got extra chibi legs then. But maybe he does? I looked at his picts and he often wore his pants really up high on the waist line.
I love no.44. Love it!! This is the reason why I really believe in him. Yep, definitely put faith in my heart <3 He's full of suprises when it comes to this matter. I mean, this is a simple questionnaire, right? Yet he can made such a deep answer. Very lovely ^^ (I put q.41 instead of 44. I deleted that msg and changed it. So if you got 2 msg in your inbox... proven that I should never ever reply to a lj entry the moment I woke up. BAD!!)
On the other hand, he really got such a huge ambition for a 10 yrs old kid. All I can think of when I was 10, probably watching too much cartoon shows.
Ohh, that Joa thing! I was imagining it and the picture of him drinking kids' juice box... XD CUTE!! | | From: | sweiled |

XD Nope, he spent 5,6 mil on that blouson alone.
YOu are welcome!! :D Thanks, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Hahahaha, my guess as it was done in between breaks and when travelling from one place to another. ^^
Me too. ^^;; I like looking at all the shiny pens in my pencil case.
YEAP. He doesn't have a proportionate body, actually. :D
XD XD That's okay, sweetie~ No.44 has got to be my fave question and answer too. ^^

woah why didnt i see this before i went to bed!!
why do u think he said blue? monday blues? ha ha ha.... -_- the first thing blue that came to my mind was his eyes though...
He drinks vege juice and... not milo? nooooo! hahaha!
He must excel in everything that he does, isnt it so? including playing darts. @.@;;
*DIES* lucky godchild of his!
Im glad he doesnt spend christmas with girls?..... 8D
I don’t play it to seduce everybody, you see, only to someone special will I play the piano.
*bawls* his bride is a lucky woman ;__;
Yah... his legs are very short indeed.@.@;; whats hyde's then? :P
It will be great if I can pass away smiling.
*tears* i wonder what was it that made me felt emotional when i read that.. the thought of him passing away (sad)) or the thought of him wanting to be happy when he dies (happy))
i thought it's such a pure and simple answer!
Indeed, he has worked hard for year 2005. *sigh*
this is sucha cool translation! i feel "stress-free" when I read it LOL XDDDDDD | | From: | sweiled |

XDDD WOAH, that means you went to bed really late. ^^;;
XD XD Hmm, melancholic? Peaceful? SLEEPY? XD
I can't survive on juice alone in the morning. @_@ Oh, but then, I don't eat breakfast either. XD;;
I KNOW. ;O; Whoever he plays the piano to, that person is very lucky indeed~
XD!! Well, he doesn't have a proportionate body~
I had difficulty writing that question down. ^^; It made me smile though, because it shows how much he has changed, and you know, how great his life would have been for him to pass away smiling. It means he has achieved all that he wants to and leaves this life with no regrets. So I associate with happy thoughts. :D
Hahahhaa, cool! XD I think I spend five, six million yen. (both shocked) 0.0 That's like SGD$75 000 if I counted correctly. I can NEVER afford that.. Gosh, is that what one will become when one earns big bucks? Chinese is supposed to be easy for me cos I'm Chinese but NO... However, I've recently started working hard for it cos I hope to take up Japanese after next year. He's so committed to learning new languages... Q.37 Complex?
Ans: My short legs haha! but really, is his legs that short? In my opinion, his legs do look short when he wears the black stone oufit.. maybe because of the 3/4 pants. XD but still, he is so tall!! Q.42 The way to realize your dream.
Ans: A strong will, I think. And then action. I find this really meaningful and comforting. I don't think my mum will ever approve of my ambition but I'm not giving up anytime soon! I trust that I can do it! All I need is a little more perserverance and faith! Thank you for this last chpt! Looking forward to reading other new stuffs! | | From: | sweiled |

Something like that. @_@ But well, you can't really compare it that way, because their income is much higher than ours too. Oh, besides, he only bought that one item during the whole of last year. :D It's still pretty expensive though. ^^;;;;;
Hehe, reading comic helped me tons in my Chinese. ^^ Yeap, a knowledge of Chinese language is very useful in learning Japanese.
Yeah, he is tall, but he doesn't have a proportionate body. XD
:D :D You keep pursuing your dream!! ^^ Strength and determination are important factors to achieve your goals, methinks.

I do the same thing with the pens X3
I have so many notebooks cluttered about, because I always write everything out by hand first, and then transfer it to computer. I wonder why~?
What a wonderful interview, and it's interesting to read the staff parts, too.
Oh! I remember being taught a great way to learn other languages: word association. For example, when I was learning French "'Mason' means house, and masons build houses". The words really stick in your head if you can do that. Thought it's not much help on grammar. | | From: | sweiled |

XD
ah I love all the articles but I LOOOOOVE it when he does these quick questions X3
Q.15 Name me an internet site that you like in year 2005!
Ans: There isn’t any.
clearly he's forgotten all about Inter'Gackt'ive
*bawls all over the place ;_____;
XD
Q.27 An advice for someone who wants to learn a new language!
Ans: Making friends, isn’t it? A faster way would be to find a girlfriend or boyfriend. (You can learn it) fast if you find a girl/boyfriend.
ah sooo true! I don't think I'd have got so far without you and Jeanne helping me with my nihongo and keeping me motivated ^^
ah all his talk about piano, so interesting, and no wonder his piano pieces seem so passtionate when he says things like this:
Q.28 What is piano to you?
Ans: I wonder what it is… even now there is still a hesitation before I start playing. It’s an instrument for blocking memories and traumas, I think. It blocks my trauma. So there is a (certain) resistance to it.
I always feel a lot of emotion in his music but when I hear him play piano there's somtning special about it!
Q.35 (Any kind of) notebook you are particular about for writing lyrics?
Ans: None for notebooks; but I’m particular about pens. That is why I prepare many different kinds of pen. I choose and write with it depending on my mood. I use a variety of colours too. Red, green, etc. Mainly I write using ballpoints. I collect a lot of ballpoints and fountain pens and use them according to my mood.
ah HAHAHAHA fantastic! XD
*sends him fun coloured pens* X3
Q.37 Complex?
Ans: My short legs
ah HAHAHAHAHA! XD
I always thought he had nice long legs... specially when he's in the leather... long leather-clad Gackt leggies *drifts off to fantasy land* XD
Q.44 What do you aim to do as an entertainer?
Ans: That would be the extent to which I can push people’s back. Anyone can darken a person (‘s life). Even in sad movies, if we can’t let the other person have the will to move one step towards the future ahead, then there is no meaning to our existence. If it’s just to say that it’s great; or that it’s sad or painful, anyone can do it. I think what I can do is to make the other person take one step forward into the future. That is why I create as much place where fans can communicate with me as possible. They can send messages to me through my official homepage and everybody’s voice can reach my PC. I receive around two thousand mails in one day. Of course I read all of them every day. I can’t reply to all, but I will when I see an interesting mail. There are also times when I was encouraged by those mails. They give me the strength to live. Not all of the things we do will be rewarded, but even so, if there are such moments that can make me think “I’m really glad I’m doing this,” then those are truly happy moments
awwwww ;___;
thats such a sweet thing to say, and makes me glad to know that our words can encourage him ^^
*spams his e-mail* XD
and sugoi! where does he find time to read all that e-mail! 0_o
Q.48 A word to your own self for finishing year 2005.
Ans: You’ve worked hard.
he sure deserves to tell himself that
*pats him on the back* ^^

XDD He doesn't have a proportionate body though he is tall. ^^
Yeah, but whenever I remember that one email = less time for him to rest... ._.;;; thanks for translating again! ^_^ i love reading through his answers..it's just so gackt~
i just guffawed at him saying his complex was his short legs.. gosh. if only he knew how many thousands of us drool over those legs clad in jeans or leather..*thinks back to the utaban billibow episode* they're really long enough gackt!!!! *huggles*
if gackt can still read manga, learn chinese and korean in spite of all the things he's been involved in..damn. i need to stop complaining about all the work i've got. comparing university homework, tests, projects.. to him wanting to unite Asians...*goes and dig herself into a hole*
i probably should pick up chinese again. ^_^ | | From: | sweiled |

Ahahahhaa... XD XD Well, he doesn't have a proportionate body though he IS tall. :3
XD XD I know~ That's one of the thing I've stopped doing since I met him. Somehow using time as an excuse just doesn't sound convincing anymore. ^^;;
:D That's good~ Read comic. Kill two birds with one stone and all, you know. XD :D These questions are always fun~ but it's hard to decide which ones to comment on. XD
Can you imagine spending 6 million yen on one shirt?? I can't imagine spending that much on a lifetime's worth of clothes! XD
He always makes me want to pick up some hobby and try to become a pro at it. ^^ Of course, it's easy for him but not so for me! XD But I guess he proves that you can never be too old to start a hobby and be really good at it. :D I want to try snowboarding but Ricky's like "NO". XD XD
Dang I STILL haven't seen "Ima, Ai"! I want to see and cry too!! XD
#16 is ;_____;
#17 is ^______________^ Hmm, don't know why but I was very moved by his ansewr to this one. ^^
*offers my skin for warmth* XDXD
Oooh I think it's so romantic how he says he doesn't play piano for just anyone. Can you imagine how it would feel to have him play for you? Knowing that he only plays for someone that is special makes it all the more meaningful~
I love his collarbone too~ :D The pic in my icon has great collarboneness~~ XD
Gackt does a GREAT job of camouflaging his short legs. ^^ Hmm, need to take lessons from him. Ricky does too. XDXDXD
What/where is Rokko??
Thank goodness Gackt doesn't want to destroy the world anymore~ Somehow the answer wasn't surprising, was it? ;__;
2000 emails a day~ I am really grateful that he takes the time to read them. I never doubted that he did, and I really believe that our words are meaningful to him... He says that these mails give him the strength to live, but I hope he knows that for many of us, his being there to receive our mails gives us the strength to live. Heck, his just being there gives me the strength to live!
I love how he dedicates himself to the next generation. It's something we should all strive to do! They are the future, after all. :D
Thank you for the translation!! :D :D | | From: | sweiled |

Can you imagine spending 6 million yen on one shirt?? I can't imagine spending that much on a lifetime's worth of clothes! XD
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! XD XD I agree totally. I don't even know HOW he could do it. I mean, when it comes to the paying bit. @@
Ahahaha XDDDDD I like to experiment with new stuff too because you never know whether you might like it or not. Mainly on the sports and arts section. XD!! I wanna learn snowboarding too, so we can sneak out together perhaps? XD XD
Don't make me fantasize in the middle of the night! XD Anyone would love to have him play for them. Just a special song. I'll probably cry my eyes throughout the song if that happens. XD
HAHAHA!! Oh yeah!! It does show nice collarboneness. XD
XD!!! Eeeh, same problems?? Yeah, Gackt does a good job of hiding it. Maybe that's why he gets teased so often about his pants riding up high. -___-;;;
I have no idea. @@ Tokyo ja nai kana?
It wasn't at all.... ;;=;; *clingies*
I know~ It means a lot to know that he reads them and shares some of him time with us. ^^ We are never far from him, aren't we? There has always been a link. I think as long as you are sincere and you truly care for him, a link will always be there between you and Gackt.
doukan~! And because I think they are the innocent ones. ._. I want to help them, I want to educate them so that they can earn a decent living and LIVE.
You are welcome!! :D |
