really? I don't see why. I mean, it's quite common for japanese singer/bands to name their songs after religious important people. Just like ayu made M and hitomi made MARIA, and Luna Sea has a song called "Virgin Mary" and "Jesus" too. I think it's clear that Gackt most likely will make this a religious song of some sort, as can be seem by the covers. I don't see how it's reatarded. I'm not religious, but it makes perfect sense to me. It's a simple title yet has a lot of meaning.

Yeah, and they only do it because they have some weird trendy fascination with Western religion. It's pretty ridiculous to Westerners to see artists wearing crosses and naming their songs stuff like "Jesus" when we know they don't have a clue about any of the stuff.

Well, they might not follow the religion, but assuming they have "no clue" is a bit too much. I mean, anybody can know Jesus history, either they believe it or not, or either they be religious or not, by reading books, watching movies or "being preached" by others. Material is definitely not lacking. That's how ayu made Free & Easy. She was inspired in the Joan's Of Arc story after she watched THE MESSENGER movie. It doesn't need to have a lot of clue after you've watched a movie and know that somebody had a history like that and then feel inspired into writing something about it. Maybe it's a weird trendy fascination, but then, if they like that, I don't see why it should be so ridiculous, I dunno. About the cross, many westerns wear crosses when they don't give a damn about the religion, so we can't really blame japanesew on that.

Wow, Jesus is kind of a strange title O_o; Hearing it's from Gackt, though, I'm not too surprised I haven't been following his recent stuff, but I'm really curious to hear this single now xD I LOVE the covers~ I hope the song will be good and meaningful too ^__^
