ItalianoFull Proceeds from Sale of GACKT’s Barista to be Donated to Kumamoto Relief Efforts
On the 19th, GACKT (42) attended a launch event for 「Nescafe Gold Blend Barista GACKT Model」 at Tokyo’s Shinjuku Station Square.
From the 19th onwards, limited stocks of 1000 units of the GACKT-designed version of this product will go on sale on the Nestle Online Shop, and in response to the Kumamoto earthquakes, it has been decided that the sales proceeds will be donated in full.
GACKT said 「Troubling things are happening in Kyushu. I spoke to the president （of Nestle Japan）, and we decided to donate it. Although the thing you can do may not be big, the small gestures count as well so do it. Everyone let’s deliver your enthusiasm to Kyushu」, fans who rushed over gave a round of applause.
According to Nestle Japan’s Chief of Media Relations, Mr. Hosokawa Nakaba, 「GACKT-san’s side proposed this as a way to send support. The donations will be made through the Japanese Red Cross Society」. Further details including the donation amount will be announced at a later date on the Nescafe homepage.
