GACKT Official Blog update. Translation below:

For the first time in awhile, I’m in Hakone.
I came into Hakone last night.
It was past 2 a.m. when I arrived.

As I had a meeting with the President of Resorttrust early in the morning,
I came to Hakone Rikyu, which is run by Resorttrust.
As I could only arrange it at this timing,
my meeting with President Ito began early in the morning.

Before the meeting, I did some light training.
I decided to take my time and properly train
after the meeting.

This is the first time that I’m meeting President Ito but
I’ve been using Resorttrust’s XIV Resorts
since 10 years ago so I know it well.
Especially when snowboarding, I often went to Tateshina.

Since Odaiba’s XIV Baycourt was built,
I started to live overseas little by little,
and these few years, I patronised them less and less.

Despite that,
to think that we’d be fated to be in discussion like this.
Fate is a mysterious thing.

I was excited and nervous, wondering about what kind of discussion we’ll be having.
Meeting President Ito for the first time, he’s over 70 years of age but
he exudes an air of dignity.

3 hours was too short a time but I was able to learn much
from the still active President Ito in the way he thinks and his perspectives.

I’m really thankful to be able to
speak with a top-class executive like this.

Ito-shi said this.

『The modern day youths are such poor things.
Back in our days, there were many things that we wanted and could do.
Because it was an era when we were in short supply of anything and everything.
Now, we have everything.
That’s why,
they are even troubled by simply living…』

Even for me,
I do think that it’s like that too, so compared to the past,
the current Japan is really abundant with a lot of things.

I think those who are of my age group will know that
there was a larger variety of enjoyable things back in the days when we didn’t have enough.
The more convenient things get,
the more difficult it becomes to satisfy the heart.

At the end of the interview, we got into talking about fine wine while having some.
He is also abundant with knowledge of wine.
The sight of him tilting the wine glass and swirling the wine is like art.
I too will devote myself to becoming an adult like him…

After the interview, while going back to my room,
hair/makeup artist Tecchan said this.

『Big bro, you’re looking for a partner? Are you getting married too?』

What is he saying!!!
What and where did that come from??
It’s about me looking for a partner for a game called Fight League!

Mixi will be “launching” their new smartphone app 「Fight League TM」
in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Canada.
The launch announcement event will be held on June 22 (Thu).

Anyway,
is there a partner who’s filled with KiAi???

『I’ll will become GACKT’s partner!!!』

I’m awaiting your KiAi filled love call!!
