The event started in Osaka on the October 28th (Wednesday) at the ''Osaka Branch School''.

Camui♂Gakuen talks about the Student President, very similar to GACKT, and his school ife. This young boy, son of a rich Zaibatsu's businessman, is called Camui Gakuto. The event starts with the words「We have to have fun with patience, we have to study with patience, just like this we can achieve our goals!」. At the School party, except Camui, GACKT's members and dancers will attend, they will play the role of F9 and will try to play a sketch under the severe eyes of the Student President, with pop music cover.

In addition, the audience, fully dressed with School uniforms, as requested by the rules to attend the event, start to get closer to the venue's entrance to be routed by the staff. To enter the venute is enough to be brought back to the "first love"'s time, as if thanks to a time travel . All the people, wearing the same School uniform, granted a very deep effect of unity.

Inside of the event stand shops are available for a limited time, reserved only for the event, a corner for the souvenirs and for food. In the food stand, F9 members unexpectedly come! The incredulous students start screaming「Mister ○○!」,creating a very funny situation. Mr. YOU's curry (F9) was very delicious!

In the event a lot of life-size panels are placed, they are depicting the Student President and F9 members, you can take very beautiful photos with them! They got an extraordinary success.

The first part of the ceremony started with the hearing of the official school hymn, Camui♂Gakuen's announcement of the Miss and Mister's election, to see then the student president, Camui Gakuto. Camui is smiling happily walking in the audience to reach the stage. Unlike a classic live, having rules to follow, fan didn't screamed too much while waiting for him, but they exclaimed 「Hi student president!」「Have a nice day!」. This condition reminds the world of manga for the girls. All the students were crazy for their President.

This year, to the F9 members a new member was added. This student, TAKUMI, is 「Sweet!」and tries in every way to assert his "masculine strength". Here it comes the Camui♂Gakuen's motto, 「 We have to have fun with patience, we have to study with patience, just like this we can achieve our goals! 」. It was the first time (under constriction) for Hayato also! Seeing this situation, the Student President raised his hand hitting him making the audience laugh a lot. What he did(or what he was forced to do)was very funny. Well what can we say about it... sure his head is still spinning around after that slap!(ahahah)

Then here the members making up the school's pop music orchestra. 「SEX JAPAN」, “Super EXcellent highschool students in JAPAN” contraction, group's members are called by the President followed by T.M.Revolution, THE BALUE HEARTS that performed "seriously". Then, on X JAPAN's music, the Student President, dressed like YOSHIKI 「SEX JAPAN member」took off his t-shirt and started playing the song perfectly, note by note. In the end, very popular idols performed in songs and dancings giving even more charm to the event.

I also make my own latte-art, I became so addicted to it. I'm always making latte-art now. Lately I've been thinking that it would be lovely to find a girl able to make the latte-art but, I feel that there aren't many girls like that" said with a bitter smile.

Lately in the showbiz the wedding-rush is increasing but, he shared his opinion on the matter and said "I have absolutely no plans about that. I'm not that interested in marriage, I just think that if I could be together with a lovely person forever then it would be good" . In addition, "First of all, I should be looking for a girl like that (before thinking about marriage)" said laughing.

His performance in mini-skirt for the Halloween event that took place this month on the 24th has become a hot topic. But, he said, "I myself was surprised when looking at the pictures I saw that my upper arms were too big, I was shocked. I'll keep doing this as long as I can. But there are a lot things like that already" said a bit embarrassed.

GACKT appears for NesCafe Event「I think it would be wonderful if my girlfriend could do art on my coffee」

On 29 October, the launch event for『NesCafe Flavour Roast Shun Meguri Cafe』was held, and artiste GACKT made a guest appearance.

It was the same event that was held at NesCafe Shinjuku. GACKT, with an orange handkerchief peeking out from his chest pocket, commented「Today, I came in a coordination that gives the image of an autumn twilight.」. While looking at the interior decoration of「Shun Meguri Cafe」which used high-definition 4KVIEWING(R)to reflect a vivid display of the autumn scenery, and had a rock garden with real autumn foliage, he expressed his admiration, saying「It's a very calm space in time. As something uniquely Japanese, it's very luxurious to pass time while looking at spectacular and beautiful scenery.」.

For the talk session, he took a sip of「NesCafe Flavour Roast Kiwami」and commented「Frankly, it's delicious. I think that it is far more delicious than what everyone expects. To me, I'm honestly surprised that it can get to this level of deliciousness. For myself too, I'm particular about the food I eat, and because I tend to eat food based on the seasons of the production area, I was impressed by the concept of the product.」, with an air of satisfaction about the attention to taste of「NesCafe Flavour Roast Kiwami」, which follows the「season」.

Also, he hoped that many foreign tourists would also experience the season of Japan, and introduced its charm in English, saying「Hello, everyone. This is GACKT. Open for a limited time only, the 『NesCafe Flavour Roast Shun Meguri Cafe』 is a fantastic spot where you can enjoy the fall colors of Japan. I hope you‘ll stop by.」. He surprised the people around by his fluency and great pronunciation.

Following that, he revealed a hanging scroll which he personally penned「Shun Meguri Cafe」using his forte in calligraphy. When the MC asked about the work, he replied with a look of satisfaction「The ephemeral nature of autumn was expressed」. Then, GACKT commented at the end「I hope that『Flavour Roast Kiwam』can be gifted to the people who you can share the "season" with and have guided you」, and the event wrapped up.

◎GACKT On-the-Spot Interview
--Please share with us your thoughts about today's event.
GACKT: I think that it's really wonderful to have a calm space within business. As I currently live overseas, I can feel the seasons when I come back to Japan. If I ever wanted to feel the seasons, I think I'd want to take some time to come.

--Again, how was the taste of this time's「Flavour Roast Kiwami」?
GACKT: There are a few that I like the tastes of but, what I felt this time was the high level of quality in it. When I heard that they were starting a project based on the seasons, I thought that it was daring of them to challenge something like that because worldwide it's only normal to supply things in big amounts (which won't happen in this case).

--About the mindset of「Flavour Roast」which is「Following the season, changing even the harvesting grounds」, do you empathise with it as an artiste?

GACKT: I think that food is also part of being an artiste. Because if I weren't an artiste, such a level of things would not have been done. I think the point about continuously challenging the limits is one that is shared between food and music.

--What kind of cup do you normally use when drinking coffee?
GACKT: As I have a hobby of collecting glassware and coffee cups, I'm become somewhat of a collector. Since my cupboard has nothing but glassware and cups, I pick based on my mood at the moment. When I drink with close friends, I decide based on the image of drinking with others.

--Normally, how do you drink your coffee?
GACKT: There are a few styles of drinking. In the past when I was in France, I saw people drinking espresso and thought it looked cool so I learnt how to drink it. So actually, I finally could drink it about 5 years ago. Recently I'm into latte art, I also started drawing on it. I think it would be wonderful if my girlfriend could do art on my coffee. But girls who can do latte art are somewhat few.(laughs)

--In the entertainment industry, it's become a topic that there is a "season" of wedding rush. GACKT-san's plans are?
GACKT:I have no plans at all. If I can find a wonderful woman, I think that's fine on its own. I think it's good as long as you can be together with the person you like without being bound together in the form of marriage.

-- Your appearance in a nurse costume at another event a few days ago has become a hot topic, will your girlfriend feel intimidated if you're that beautiful?
GACKT: Personally, I think somehow my two arms look too fat.(laughs)As I'm also already ageing, I feel like I should continue doing cross-dressing for as long as I can.
