I don't think they are very good friends, maybe just cordial. 2001-2002 was a time where they were paired a few times on live shows and they do look good together but it's mostly planned. They didn't choose to air together. For the phone call, the artistes are already told who to call. It helps that they know each other perhaps.
I don't know about ayu but gackt is REALLY good friends with yoshiki from Xtasy Records. Look at their interaction on live shows. There's a marked difference between gackt's interaction with ayu. But what i really admire is that ayu is not intimidated at all with gackt's stoicity or silence. And he does show her a certain level of respect. During some shows, he can be really taciturn which i think is not very fair to the artiste starring with him.
