GACKT Official LINE update. Translation below:

The morning of a day that will be hotter than expected came.
It was so bright that
without sunglasses, I couldn’t open my eyes.

In the afternoon, I searched for a house that a friend wanted
and went around to view a few properties.

Home viewing is really fun.
It’s one of my favourite hobbies.

After finishing up, I had tea then headed out for dinner.
It’ll be the first time in awhile that I’m having dinner with my friend,
and while discussing about a new business plan,
I listened to each of his ideas.

The existence of people who are able to openly listen to others’ advice like this,
and grow close while teaching me about all kinds of things is great.

At 19, I met someone and my perspective on life,
and my way of thinking about my way of life took a 180 degree turn.
Like how a dry sponge absorbs water,
I absorbed all kinds of things.
This was the starting point of my life.

Then,
the next starting point in my life
was when I met Ogata Ken-san on a historical drama.

I was worn out back then.
I was also about to be crushed by all kinds of pressure.
I also had a lot of antis and enemies.

From the bottom of my heart, I thought, I want to do my best for this man.
The present version of me exists
because of that meeting.
It’s already been quite awhile since he passed but
to me, it still seems like something that happened only recently.

I pay my respects to this father of mine.
I’ll drink today
while slowly recalling all kinds of things today.

I hope these thoughts reach you.
