Sasaki Nozomi led by GACKT in her First Dubbing「I was moved」

Singer GACKT (43) and actress Sasaki Nozomi (29) attended the public Japanese dubbing for the American action movie「Kong: Skull Island」(to be released March 26) on the 16th in a studio in Tokyo.

GACKT, who has had abundant experience dubbing for games and movies thus far, will be performing as the leader of the Skull Island expedition.「My voice changes depending on the character, so since the character this time around is described as one who doesn’t really show his emotions I used a rather low voice to speak. It may seem to you that the tension is low now but, I’m just dragging the role. My voice is usually a little brighter」he said while looking relaxed.

On the other hand, Sasaki, who is taking on the challenge of dubbing for the first time, kept making mistakes when saying「Former British Army Special Air Service…」and repeatedly excused herself, saying「I’m sorry. I’m extremely nervous」. Having followed GACKT’s lead and somehow weathering through, she said with great respect「I was moved. With his aura being so bright and sparkly, I wasn’t sure that he would talk to me but he’s been kindly teaching me since the beginning. It’s a normal gesture but he was very kind」.

GACKT replied「I’m nice to cute people. Because I’m a gentleman」bringing laughter to the venue. Then, he made PR efforts, saying「Honestly, I didn’t really have any expectations for it but, it was so interesting that I remained at the edge of my seat until the end. I don’t really say this but, it’s 20 times more interesting than “Jurassic Park”」.

Also, GACKT just returned to Japan from Malaysia on the 15th, when Kim Jong-nam, the step brother of the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, was assassinated. Replying to questions from news reporters about this, he answered simply with「It was normal (in the streets of Kuala Lumpur)」.
