Yes, Arrow is so generic and also Akatsukizukuyo - Day Breakers-. The songs before those have been clearly better. But I'm glad that new album is going to be released in the next year. It's really about time!

^they are generic indeed but they are still enjoyable i'd say. They don't make me excited though like his earlier stuff did.

[mi|kshake]

I enjoyed Akatsukizukuyo - Day Breakers - and the orchestra version! Also downloaded Arrow but yet to listen.

[BlackSilence]

I absolutelly adore the orchestra version of that song. It's magical. He should seriously do an orchestra album.

so he's been acting a little odd latelly...the man now seems to have enough time for another social media account - https://www.instagram.com/gackt/ . He's throwing out at least one pic a day.He's got it last month i think... He writes in both english and japanese on there. I'm not sure what's up but he's like not doing much yet he's everywhere. I guess social media is doing him good. So before he starts touring he decided to add an other one, to get more exposure? He's been posting a lot of selfies though, and he seems to be obsessed with women for the past couple of days lol

oh and um, we are i think getting a new song which is going to be for some video game. I don't really remember when nor the details, it's been announced a few weeks ago. No title yet. Also he's going to voice the character in the game too. I cannot find anything on this anymore....Maybe it was just my imagination? lol EDIT: found it. it says an opening these on the game's website. https://www.gackt.com/en/news/detail.html?code=mWCoISxT

GACKT has made his new song "Hana mu Chiyu" available to download for free.

The free download is part of a collaboration with food and beverage company Nestle. The partnership includes the release of a new album titled "LAST MOON" in the spring of 2016.

"Hana mu Chiyu" will be available for free to the first 1,000,000 people through Nestle's special site for the collaboration.

On December 24, 4 new songs will be available to stream. More new music will be made available every month, allowing the album to be released gradually.

Coinciding with the release of the new album, GACKT will be going on tour starting on March 19 through July 2. The tour will be supported by Nestle as well.

i dunno if this is a good idea. lol Also i assume it'll only work if you're in Japan?
The song is... ok. lol really nothing spectacular. But it's not a ballad though. It has some traditional japanese instrument elements in it. I really haven't been digging that heavy metal drum beat he's been using for a while now, this one has it too. It's all over the place. It's a well done mediocre GACKT song.

You could also fit LONGING in this tracklist but oh well

[pheonixflame15]

Has the new tour started yet?

[axmish87]

Ok on GACKT's official FB page there is a post that the new album is already on iTunes

[relmy]

I've been so out of the loop with GACKT but is that RETURNER song the same RETURNER song from like.... nearly 10 years ago? ...What?!

[axmish87]

Yes it's exactly the same one and the album IS on Itunes
Anyone pleasee

[BlackSilence]

i've checked iTunes. It's not on there. But then again i'm not in Japan or USA. It probably will be out on the rest soon too.

I'm actually really quite pissed at him for this, how he handled the tracklist is beyond my imagination. Everyone was craving for NEW MATERIAL. and all we get after 7 fucking years is a bunch of old singles and, like, 5 new songs that have already been out for a while. How is this a good idea?

I know he said in the past that he makes albums for concerts rather than anything else, but WTF really?

and yeah the new tour just started not long ago.

[axmish87]

[BlackSilence]

well i'm not in Japan so.


you know, the way he did this whole "new album" stuff reminds me of all those times people flipped out over the recycled material on Ayu's, or marketting strategies that were fishy. I've gotta say that Ayu's wasn't NEARLY as bad as GACKT's now is. lol
