Gackt

OK so I'm not the best at this but I will start with some info on our beloved Gackt and eventually this page will begin to look better! =^.^= So for starters, some information

A LITTLE BG INFO ON GACKT

Gackt’s full name is Gackt M.S. Camui but can be pronounced/written Gakuto, however his true name is unknown and only rumors of it are heard floating around. He is a song writer, vocalist, and multi-talented instrumentalist as well as a beloved celebrity both in Japan and the international JPop fan community. Gackt has his own band named GacktJOB in which he is accompanied by You (Guitarist), Yukihiro Chachamaru Fujimura (Guitarist), Jun-ichi Igao Igarashi (Guitarist/Bass), and Ryuichi Nishida (Drummer). He was also vocalist of Cains:Feel and Malice Mizer. Thanks to him, Malice Mizer became well-known.

Gackt can speak Japanese, English, French, Mandarin, and Korean.

Early life

Anyone who asks for his birth date is given the same answer; July 4, 1540. claiming that he is a vampire. Speculators state that his actual birth date might be around July 4, 1973, but of course there is no real way of knowing.

Gackt was born in Okinawa, Japan, and his hometown is Kyoto. His parents were EXTREMELY strict and he was only able to view national or educational programming. At age seven, Gackt nearly drowned in the Sea of Okinawa. After being saved, he claimed to be able to see things that normal people couldn't and was then sent into isolation in a mental hospital.

Gackt is a very competitive person, saying, "It's not that I want to win, it's just that I don't want to lose." As a child, he had always wanted to be better than anyone else and continues to learn new skills and practice existing skills to become better. He was also very ambitious as well he is now.

If you’re one of those people who are really good at something, I also suggest that you do not encounter Gackt. He will try to better any one at anything, seeing as he is willing try anything and everything at least once. He finds humor in most things, although he’s always trying not to smile or laugh he says things no one else would dare to, even if it makes him look like a fool. Anything for the sake of a laugh, no?

His parents were both musicians and forced him to learn the piano when he was three. He was too small to actually play, but he had to sit in front of the piano for two hours. Later, his competitive nature made him master the piano after seeing his friend play better than him. Then Gackt's interest changed to brass instruments after seeing his father play trumpet. Again, his competitive nature resulted in non-stop practice and mastery of several instruments of the brass category, but it had all ended when his parents worried it would damage his teeth and forbid him to play. After this he considered becoming a music conductor.

Gackt changed his musical tastes from classical to rock at 17, it was something he had never heard before and caught his interest almost immediately. It was at this time that his mother also told him that she regretted forcing him to learn to play the piano.

Early Career

Gackt started as a drum technician for a recording studio and drummer for an unknown band. Later on, he met lifelong friends and fellow performers Ren and You and formed a band, Cains:Feel, with Gackt as the vocalist, although he felt his deep voice wasn't suited for the trend at the time.

Solo career

GacktJOB was put together after Gackt left Malice Mizer in 1998, and the original group consisted of several members: You (violin / rhythm guitar), Yukihiro Chachamaru Fujimura (lead guitar/effects), Masa (rhythm guitar), Ren (bass), Toshi (drums), Yosh (choreographer/dancer), and Igao (keyboards).

Is Gackt Gay?

Gackt's sexual orientation is a very important issue with his fans since his videos and concerts often insinuate a level of homosexuality. In his autobiography, he wrote that sex is an important aspect of a relationship between a man and woman. In contrast, he believes that a relationship between men depends on time and trust. He has also stated that he can love a man as much as a woman, but cannot have a physical relationship with one.

Gackt has written that if Hyde were a woman, he'd fall in love with him. Gackt was even tempted to kiss him while asleep, but restrained himself since Hyde is a man and married. (Aw shucks, right? But that means the fan girls still have a chance ^.- )

MOON CHILD

Gackt wrote the story for a movie named Moon Child, in which he hounded L'Arc~en~Ciel's lead vocalist Hyde until he agreed to co-star in the movie.

The movie revolves around a group of friends and the changes that occur over time. Gackt stars at a child named Sho who stumbles upon a barely concious vampire named Kei (Hyde), and befriends him. Through time, Sho grows and learns from Kei, his ageless friend.

The story is actually quite sad and not much can be sad or else the whole movie will be given away.

A LITTLE MORE INFO

Gackt was recently involved in Dirge of Cerebrus, performing the song for the game ("Redemption"). He has also been involved in other video games, commercials, modeling and so on so forth. He is extremely multi-talented.

This wonderful man's hobbies are dating (he's such a player), martial arts (Gackt works extremely hard to keep his body as lean and strong as possible), and billards. He used to smoke but has (thankfully) given it up. Some rumors have said he traded smoking for sex, but I won't stay on that too long because I'm not sure if it's just a rumor or not.

He also prefers candles, electricitt is not his best friend. He has "super" hearing so the sounds of lights bother him, as he said in an interview. He has said many things in his interviews, and has done many funny things as well. XD

Also, if you ever know what hotel he stays at you're in for an eye full if you go to his room. He has the tendency of staying in his hotel room completely naked, not that I blame him. It is HIS room afterall. He also cooks naked while reading, quite the multi-tasker. Gackt said it takes him four days to prepare a meal (you better take some munchies if he invites you for dinner) because he says it all starts with purchasing the food.
