GACKT Official Blog update. Translation below:
I started recording in the morning today.
After I was done with training, I started preparing.
The members who were joining in on the recording too
have already come into the studio
They’ve started recording the various necessary parts.
Today has been a long day.
Recording progressed smoothly but
the check for the new poker program was also being done at the same time.
I still can’t release all the information I have about it but
it has a rather funny delivery.
Anyway, it’s funny.
Despite that this is not the finished version yet,
it’s become such an funny program.
I would like everyone to look forward to this program.
When I saw everyone watching the program with intense concentration
and bursting out in laughter,
I can feel that we’ve created a new poker program.
It makes me want to quickly record the others too.
After the program check and the recording was done,
wonderful guests appeared in the studio.
They’re friends who were introduced to me by another friend.
It seems that these guys have made their hobby into a business.
What these people are dealing with are
life-sized replicas of Aliens or Predators.
The famous designer of the Aliens and Predators,
【Giger】, passed away and after that, all the rights
were being owned by the HR Giger Foundation but
I heard that they bought those rights from the Foundation
and started making and selling Alien and Predator heads.
They heard that I especially love Predator and Alien,
and that I like Giger’s designs
so they brought an Alien prototype here.
This is a really happy occasion.
Giger’s designs have had a huge influence on my life.
Even my stage sets has nuances and ideas of Giger’s included in them.
As I stared at the Alien skull in front of me
and kept grinning, the dancers looked at me funny.
I suppose they probably don’t really understand the value of this.
It seems that they will soon bring Predator’s skull over too.
I just can’t wait.
Today, we’re also celebrating a friend’s birthday over dinner.
The tequila fest will be starting from here on.
I don’t know when it will end but
I can only hope that I can get home safely.
Alright then,
I’ll get back to my tequila fest.
Everyone, have a wonderful night too.
