ORICON.CO.JP: GACKT, "the man who knows authenticity", unexpectedly flustered in the Gochi challenge?「You'll receive divine punishment」

　Singer GACKT will be appearing on the popular segment “Gurume Chikin Reーsu Gochi ni Narimasu! a.k.a. Gochi” (Gourmet Chicken Race, This is Your Treat!) of NTV program “Guru Guru 99” (every Thursday at 7:56 p.m.) on the 14th. The “man who knows authenticity”, who is said to be invincible even on ABC’s TV Asahi program Geinoujin Kakuzuke CHECK! (Entertainer Rating Check) takes on the challenge of fancy Italian food.

　This time’s Valentine’s treat is set at the fine Italian restaurant, The Artist’s Cafe at the top floor of Tokyo Dome Hotel. Ex-Gochi member Nikaido Fumi-san makes an appearance for the first time in a long while too. They cheered when the fillet meat rolled in for a hamburg steak cooked with an inventive technique. GACKT said “This dish would cost more than 60,000 yen” and so on about dishes that were made from lamb and so on, creating havoc for estimations.

　GACKT draws close to the recently popular genderless entertainer, Yumeya Masaru, and for some reason Okamura Takashi started criticising him time and again with words like “Your comments are slow” “Speak louder”, getting him irritated. In addition, with an “extremely difficult” quiz on premium food ingredients and so on, creating confusion with the mounting pressure. GACKT, who said “You’ll receive divine punishment” as he faces the hard battle, predicted his position and got ranked as he expected, but where did he stand in the end?

　And there’s a “Pitari Prize” in this time’s results announcement. Who will get it is going to be interesting.
