GACKT

is that GACKT ? (NSFW)

That was a photoshoot connected to a series of commercials he was doing in the mid 2000 -ish?

It was a service more oriented to females if I recall correctly; I forgot what it was called though. That picture/photoshoot was circulated pretty heavily back then.

Plutzer prize? That hashtag (didnā€™t click on it though) ā€¦ :smile:

Well, he once sold a dakimakura of himself seminude, soā€¦

Yea thatā€™s it!
Are they really, still?? lol I may have to check those out again; they were talked about quite a bit at the time. (It also spawned talk/dating rumorsā€¦)

@foccius only once? lol

This is the one I remember, but I would not be surprised if he did the stunt more than once

Oh this! Completely forgot about this!

I wanna say then, that there is at least two instances (this and one other), then, but I canā€™t for the life of me remember what the other one wasā€¦ :sweat_smile:

Lol gotcha, I was just finding a reason to use that image :sweat_smile:

I was at both shows in Munich. First one was in July and it was 36Ā°C that day and I was not well being squished all the time.
The first one felt special because it was the first one, the second one was less energetic because it didnā€™t feel like a ā€œGackt with backing bandā€ concert and more like a ā€œBand that happens to have Gackt as a memberā€ concert.
And yes, the MCs AKA ā€œGackt yelling sexual stuffā€ were like 5-10 minutes sometimes :smiling_face_with_tear:

I wouldnā€™t be surprised if he was literally just feeling out for how many groupies heā€™d have that night.

ā€œNo, literally! Who wants to fuck me?ā€

:thinking: Like he wasnā€™t the ā€˜headā€™ of the band the second time around.

Kinda sounds more draining than fun, that first one, between the temperature and the 10 minute "sex beckoning " lol

By the way, what was Jon from? Like a previous band orā€¦ :thinking: I canā€™t remember how that came about.

I really hate that he did so much plastic surgery that he cant even laugh anymoreā€¦ and looks a bit weird - I guess thats why he almost always wears glasses recently.


I know hes old but I wish he would aged with this!

Iā€™m sure this will be B.S. to you, but,

He has worn glasses for decades, with the reason stated that he has a light sensitivity.
Additionally, that expression you are referencing is not new, that is also decades oldā€¦

:thinking: why the ozempic reference? If your making fun of him for his looks, how does ozempic fit? Isnā€™t that for diabetic management?

no, Iā€™m not making fun of him.

ozempic is prescribed for wanting to get skinny really fast if he travels to the US and buys insurance over there, and it gives a very specific look to the face during first months that I donā€™t think Iā€™ve seen on anyone Japanese before this Gackt picture, actually.

He was in a band called ā€œfadeā€ which has been around since 1991 and disbanded like mid 2010s, but he joined in 2001 where he was an exchange student, so I assume heā€™s in his mid 40s now.
