GACKT, KEEPS SINGIN AT GRADUATION CEREMONIES AROUND THE COUNTRY THE SONG BORN FROM THE PROMISE MADE TO A BOY
GACKT is singer and song writer born in Okinawa prefecture. He is a man with a unique world view and a strong cool image around him, but the truth is that every year since 2006 he has been doing surprise live at middle and high school graduation cerimonies.
The school he visited till now are 8.
The song he sings at each of this graduation ceremony lives, No ni saku hana no you ni, was born from the promise made to a boy.
The occasion to compose this song came in 2005, at that time GACKT had been appointed as a DJ for a radio program, when a boy from the Maiko High school in Hyogo prefecture that was listening to him, called to have guidance form him and said “I’d like to have some support from you for my department that is almost at the breaking point due to lack of enrollments”
At that time during the program, GACKT himself, after suggesting “How about you try to take action able to attract attention on the true meaning and charm of your department yourself?”
“If you are able to stop the lack of enrollments I’ll compose a song to send to your school for the graduation ceremony”. he said.
After that, since the number of students wishing to apply for that department exceeded the limit, he started working on the song to fulfill the promise . In 2006, on February 28 he visited that same school, taking part at the graduation ceremony as a surprise guest, and the same song was presented in a mini live in fron of the graduating students. Furthermore, it is said that the song was completed 2 days before the appearance at the school.
This time、 I’d like to show you a clip of GACKT singing No ni saku hano no you ni at the graduation ceremony.
With an heartfelt singing voice、speaking kindly the message he gave to the students is beautiful.
NAGASAKI HOKUYODAI SENIOUR HIGH SCHOOL
The song became a single in 2007,and for this PV、
triggered by the fact that there were photos from Nagasaki Hokuyōdai Senior high school、GACKT decided to use his second graduation ceremony.
In that same school he went to held a mini live.
Moreover, on March of the following year GACKT appeared at the graduation ceremony of Satake High School in Ibaraki prefecture.
This school seems to have been Kami’s old school, GACKT’s late friend and former MALICE MIZER member.
NARUTO DAIICHI MIDDLE SCHOOL IN TOKUSHIMA PREFECTURE
And this one is about the last live he did in march 2014 to the Naruto Daiichi middle school in Tokushima prefecture.
The chance for this live was made by a letter sent by a male student about to graduate who reached GACKT.
The following extract was written in this occasion.
“Would you come to our graduation ceremony?？If you can make this happen I’d like to express my gratitude directly to you. （omission） On the Graduation day. I will be waiting. I will be waiting until the day I can finally thank you”
After the live GACKT exchanged an embrace with the boy.
I’m sure this is something that boy and all his schoolmates too will never forget.
