ItalianoGACKT held a Guerrilla Live at Shinjuku. Full proceeds from 『Barista GACKT Model』 to be donated to disaster reconstruction efforts
The Guerrilla Live, which was held yesterday, 19 April, afternoon at Shinjuku Station Square was in commemoration of the collaboration between GACKT and Nestle.
The live this time was put on in commemoration of the launch of the GACKT model of Nestle’s coffee machine 「Nescafe Gold Blend Barista」. With fans gathered at the venue under clear skies, GACKT performed 2 songs, including 「ARROW」, from his upcoming new album 『LAST MOON』, which will be released on 27 April. Shinjuku’s afternoon was wound up with enthusiasm, and the event attracted around 2000 people by the time it ended.
Also, in response to the Kumamoto earthquake which occurred last week, GACKT announced on stage that the sales proceeds of the launched 「Nescafe Gold Blend Barista GACKT Model」 will be donated in full.
「Everyone doesn’t have to take large actions, small actions count as well. Just a little from each person is enough, so let’s all play a part. Let’s deliver everyone’s enthusiasm to Kyushu」──GACKT
From today, only 1000 units of the 「Nescafe Gold Blend Barista GACKT Model」 will go on sale through the Nestle Online Shop. The guerrilla live was initially to commemorate the launch of the GACKT model but, with regards to the donations, GACKT’s side entered into discussions with Nestle, and Nestle too agreed to it. （Please note that Nestle themselves have also been sending relief supplies to the disaster area since the 15th (Fri) following the earthquake）The sales proceeds will go from Nestle to the Japanese Red Cross Society, and the timing and amounts will be released at a later date on Nestle’s homepage.
