TRANSLATION: GACKT's message for Kenshin Festival
GACKT's message for the 89° Kenshin Festival
To me, Joetsu is my "second hometown" it's a special place.
When Joetsu citizens, the ones who take care of my beloved hometown, asked me to make Kenshin live again playing this role, I felt incredibly glad.
So, to answer their expectation, I was preparing the best Kenshin performance you've ever seen. But unfortunately, during my stage play my leg fractured.
And so this year I had to face this mission in this condition.
Sure, the idea thing would be to always be in best conditions to face something. But in real life, in most cases someone is forced to show his skills in spite of the various obstacles that unfortunately happen in life.
This time, my condition is difficult but I don't consider it an obstacle, but more a thrust to lift up the combattive spirit and I would be very happy if I was able to pass on to as many people as possible that, if you put your heart and will into something, no matter all the disadvantages, you can accomplish any mission”
『I wish that many people will come and visit this wonderful and quiet place, and I wish for everyone to know the lyrical beauty. And with this performance I hope to be able to pass on the Japanese soul.』
This was my thought that helped me move forward.
I hope that, with this event, many will fall in love with Joetsu.

TRANSLATION: Oricon - Uesugi “GACKT” Kenshin performs, despite the leg fracture
In Joetsu, Niigata prefecture the hometown of the hero lived during the Sengoku period: Uesugi Kenshin, the 89th Kenshin festival was held with the title <May the Ghi spirit be with us, forever> and GACKT played the role of Kenshin on the afternoon of the 24th. In 2007 GACKT played the role of Kenshin in the NHK TV drama 『Furin-Kazan』and this is the 6th time that he appears in the Kenshin festival.
During the stage play wholly produced by GACKT himself ”MOON SAGA- Yoshitsune hiden- 2” , GACKT fractured his left ankle but, despite all this he commented "This is not an handicap, but simply a thrust to pull up the combattive spirit."
He marched in the city conducting 500 armed men.
GACKT said ”To me, Joetsu it's like my second hometown, it's a special place" and then "I hope that for many, this event will be an opportunity to know the beauty of Joetsu and that many will fall in love with it, as I did"

TRANSLATION: Jtimes - GACKT visits Uesugi Kenshin grave
GACKT visits the Rinsen-ji temple, Kasugayama, where Uesugi Kenshin's grave is and he prays Kenshin's soul for the successo of the performance.
To prepare for the 89th Kenshin Festival, on the 23rd GACKT visited the Rinsen-ji temple, where Uesugi Kenshin soul is resting and he prayed for his soul and the success of the march and reenactment of the battle where he performs in spite of the wounded leg.
Before the temple visit, GACKT held a press conference at the Joetsushi maizou bunka center (historical archive of the city) together with the mayor and he declared his big enthusiasm for the performance.
GACKT touched the argument of the fracture he got during his stage play. "Actually even walking it's really difficult" He always carries a cane in his left hand and, see him walking and limping it's quite pitiful. But in spite of all this "You can expect a magnificent performance. I won't disappoint you. It will be something really frantic."
He also revealed the fact that it's not possible tu use the same horse he used for this event in the past 6 years. "The first thing is to avoid accidents. And I am really cautious in every preparation".
At the entrance of the temple GACKT was welcomed by many fans and, entering the main wing of the temple, he warmly greeted the ex superior of the templi, Mr. Sasagawa. Joined hands in front of the Kenshin's gravestone, he walks the rock stairs with the help of a cane to reach Kenshin's grave and bring flowers.
