GACKT comments on Amuro Namie’s retirement announcement
Singer Amuro Namie, who announced that she will be retiring next September, also comes from Okinawa like GACKT.
With regards to Amuro’s retirement announcement, he revealed his thoughts, saying 「Honestly, I think it’s a waste but I guess it’s a finale fitting of her, and it makes me think that it comes in this form as well」.
Arrives with a striking appearance, beautiful chest and body line
On this occasion, GACKT took the stage with a striking appearance, wearing knit over his muscled chest and bodyline. He spoke casually, saying 「Just recently, my chest grew bigger. And it’s been weirdly emphasised」, and gave an update on his recent activity, saying 「But recently, I haven’t done any weight training at all, and I thought of wanting to show that this is possible even by just training using your own body weight」.
GACKT, who professes that 「Your own body is fashion」, said that continuing training is 「not much different from brushing your teeth」, and encouraged people who wanted to start training, saying 「If you think that you can’t do it, then you’ll be unable to do it. If you can make it a daily routine, then without needing to think about it, you’ll normally wake up in the morning to do it. After that, it’s a question of whether you can continue it or not. If you do what you decided to do bit by bit everyday, I think that you’ll be able to do it without needing to think too hard about it so, please do your best」.
Also, GACKT presently has houses in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and in a few other countries as well. His recounting of his first time taking the subway in over 20 years when visiting his friend in England in his personal blog the other day became a talking point too. GACKT said 「That was rough」 with a wry smile on his face, and he recalled 「I didn’t know how to buy tickets too so it’s of course, but I suppose you’d say that naturally having difficulty was frustrating」. 「But I think it was a good opportunity」he said, looking back at it as a fresh experience.

BARKS.JP: GACKT produces dresses with the theme of "duality"
Today, September 27 (Wed), a launch event was held for a new brand of party dresses that GACKT produces.
GACKT announced the new brand, 「MARGARET NOCTURNE」, in dazzy, a company dealing in ladies’ fashion, that is centered around party dresses for women in their teens and twenties. The brand’s concept combines 「MARGARET」, which refers to white flower, and 「NOCTURNE」, which refers to the black night, creating the image of an innocent young lady showing glimpses of maturity.
The dresses were also unveiled for the first time at the press conference. Dresses that look cute and simple from the front but are left wide open at the back and a few other dresses are GACKT’s designs which overflow with originality. GACKT said that he definitely wanted to incorporate two sides in a dress, and also said that he hoped that they won’t only be worn at certain parties, but also when going out for fun. He added that the dresses were based in black but this is also a motif of the white in 「MARGARET」 and black in 「NOCTURNE」.
With regards to Japanese women, GACKT said that they’re ranked highly, however, he thinks that there aren’t many areas where they dress up or express themselves. At the end, he said 「I would like all women to understand that wear a dress or getting dressed up isn’t a special thing」. Pre-orders for the 「MARGARET NOCTURNE」dresses start today on the dazzy store. Prices and sizes of the dresses along with details can be found on the sales site.
