GACKT OFFICIAL WEIBO – JUL 22 2017

GACKT Official Weibo update. Translation below:

In the end,
by the time I leave from LA was already 5:30 in the morning.
From now on I will avoid leaving early in the morning as much as possible.
The main reason might be because of the jetlag.

It’s been a long time since I’m the first one to enter the airbridge.
I don’t know why but I felt a little shy while waiting for the others to pass by.
And it’s been a while since I wanted to board the plane this early…
I started to read a book after I sat down, but after a long time it still didn’t take off.

Even so,
how many years has it been since I came to New York?
I think I haven’t come after the terrorist attack.
At that time I made the song [12 Gatsu no LOVE SONG],
because I have many thoughts about the terrorist activities.
It’s not the matter of who is saying who is right,
at least those who had lost someone they love,
from this world, I hope that sad things like these will one by one become lesser,
it’s a song that prays to go on to live each day with the ones you love.

At that time, because it’s after the terrorist attack,
there were staff who didn’t want to go to New York for the filming.
In the end,
the number of staff was only half.
But even so they decided to go.
I can still remember what the local staff said.
Thank you for coming!
To not to forget this incident, let’s create an great work!
That staff meeting before the trip,
the opinions were totally splited.
Those who refused to travel were there too.
There’s not right or wrong,
it’s natural to be afraid.
Everyone lives with their own opinions.
What terrifies them will also be different.
Wasn’t I scared at the time? However, I have heard,
to me, the scariest thing in life is,
when you are thinking, but hesitant to move,
is the scariest.
At that time,
when I saw what actually happened, without any reason, my tears flowed out.
Then I came to uderstand what it means by “loss for words”.
16 years have passed since then.
The world is moving towards the direction of chaos.
When, will this ever stop?
I thought about this in the plane.
Then…,
How should I spend my time in NY from now?
I totally don’t have a plan.
