TRANSLATION Blomaga 65: June 14th 2014
Bzzzzzzzz...
Bzzzzzzzz…
Hello?
Hm???
It’s you…
No, I was in the middle of a call.
Give me a moment…
Because I’ll cut the other side off…
Fuu~
Eh?
Who called?
YOHIO called.
The troubled 18 year old.
He’s got various problems.
In Europe, he’s gotten
quite popular so he’s deciding the office,
how to do future sales and stuff like that.
But he’s an 18 year old after all.
He’s concerned about lots of things.
Though before this when he came to Tokyo
he was with me all the while.
He really acts like a kid…
I kept thinking to myself that
he’s got to mature fast.
I could tell he kept pushing himself too much.
That’s why while he’s with me,
he can drop everything and turn back into an ordinary 18 year old.
To say that he finds it reassuring to come to Japan,
I guess it’s probably similar to how I breathe a
sigh of relief when I go overseas.
Probably because he says that he wants to live in Japan for awhile.
I thought, I guess I could help him with that
because the stress that teens feel is really troublesome…
Why not give him a breather…
Normally,
he’d appear to be an adorable kid.
But if someone else were around he’d act like an adult.
He’s probably kept it that way.
When he came to my staff’s home for a visit,
he was really happy.
I guess he had fun.
There aren’t many places where he can let his guard down and be carefree.
Well, I guess thats similar to me.
Recently, I, too,
have been able to spent time overseas without stress.
There are many ways to destress but.
In my case,
when I go overseas,
I’ll definitely have a look around various properties.
That’s the best destresser for me and
if there are nice homes,
there’s also the opportunity for me to live there for awhile.
A little earlier, I managed to see some really nice houses.
For the first time in awhile, I felt impressed.
The garage was fairly large,
it looked like it would fit about 8 cars.
It feels good to have one this large.
The kitchen is comparatively smaller but
well, I mostly eat out anyway.
It doesn’t bother me much.
It’s not a problem if it’s large enough to use anyway.
Generally,
kitchens overseas are based on
having a dry kitchen and a wet kitchen.
For example, take the table,
there’s another one that’s for domestic helpers to help out with the cooking.
The system here is more similar to the German style so,
the appearance of everything also looks refreshing.
The designer’s an Australian so
it implies that the design would be impressively elaborate.
This dining table’s nice too.
Despite the tremendous size of the table, only 6 chairs are placed there.
Such wastefulness is luxury at it's best.
Furthermore,
because it's made from one solid plank,
the sense of stability and the solid feel is in short wonderful.
The feel of it was pleasant,
and my heart started feeling shaky when
I thought it'll probably feel great to have a meal here...
There are 3 points about this house that captured my heart.
And the third's the wine cellar.

DEAR MY G-LOVERS
My thoughts can be read
on the GACKT Blomaga,
so those who want to read all of them, check it out.
(Updates thrice a month)
http://ch.nicovideo.jp/channel/gackt
The internet is scary.
No matter if you talk about good things or simply about rumours only
it somehow gets rewritten into truth.
Furthermore,
it gets transmitted overseas as it is rewritten
and turns into big news there.
It’s purely a case of putting the cart before the horse.
The news from overseas are
simply not understandable to the point of being a joke.
In addition, the more fans there are,
there will be more people who eat up such news,
that’s another troubling point.
This is a
news article from China’s leading news agency.
Unthinkable things have been written.
Putting aside Japan’s tabloid news articles,
even China’s leading news agency
is writing stuff like this as fact.
What on earth has this world’s media become?
Let’s see…
Let’s have a read.
“Japan’s ASKA from Chage&Aska has been
arrested for drug abuse.
Police are concentrating on visual-kei artist GACKT and
female singer Imai Miki as their next targets…”
This… I’m sick of it.
Just give me a break already.
Writing such shitty things
without any real facts or proofs,
do you call that freedom of speech,
freedom of expression,
or even freedom of journalism?
That’s too stupid.
It’s so stupid that it hurts.
Moreover,
even until now
the shitty media has been my sworn enemy so
even if such articles appear there it’s still understandable to me.
“Ah~ Another one’s been written~”
Well, I guess that’s how my fans feel.
But…
Why now, Imai MIki-san?? Why???
Why Imai Miki???
If you attack people in such an underhanded way,
there are actors, idols,
singers who ended up committing suicide.
It’s mentally tough to deal with these things…
Becoming bald because of stress arising from these things,
they won’t compensate you for those treatments right?
It’s a sad story…
Just as I was thinking about that,
a statement of withdrawal of the original article from the publisher
was posted
What’s this?
Is it the end just because you say you removed your article from the internet?
Without even cleaning up the mess that you started,
to just think that it’s fine because you removed it anyway…
Are these the people who believe in freedom of speech?
What a mess.
Ignoring the effects of your actions.
Not even thinking that it’s bad.
So that’s the kind of people our world’s media is made out of…
If they’re in the wrong,
they believe that the problem is solved simply be removing their article.
Not even paying any attention
to those that they have affected with their article.
It’s so shitty…
Above that,
I’m kind of put in a situation similar to having dementia pugilistica^.
Even though I keep getting hit like this,
I don’t even know
whether or not it hurts…
I’ve been seriously injured again…
I wonder if my spirit is completely broken…
If that’s the case,
I’ll want to leave Japan.
Is that all there is?
It feels like suddenly getting your face planted in the wall
by some guy you don’t really know
or some shitty dog who’s gone astray.
It feels horrible…
At a time like this,
I’ve received a letter about something completely different.
A teacher from the school
that I visited in March at Tokushima
for the surprise graduation ceremony live
came in the mail.
The teacher spelled out many of his thoughts but,
in that beautiful font and beautiful words,
he brought me up from my down.
There are people who understand.
There are also fans who help give me that extra push to my back.
Isn’t it odd…
Even though that unpleasant feeling was all I could get,
still,
the thought that I must keep trying harder builds up…
Damn it…
I guess I have to try a little harder…
My name is GACKT
My motto is “Mr. Smile”.
No matter what happens, I’ll smile.
So you too,
should smile.

Burururururuu…
Burururururuu…
Hello?
Hm?
Ah, it’s you.
Mm, now?
I’m a little busy…
Am I working?
No no, I kind of made a surprising discovery so
I got AYAKA, one of my staff, to help me
shoot.
Eh?
Is it my film?
No no.
It’s AYAKA’s…
Do you know the movie “SAW”?
That doll with the weird mouth
that appears in the movie…
Right right, that one.
I was talking to AYAKA earlier
about whether it was possible to cosplay as it.
So right now, we’re trying it out.
It’s kind of difficult…
Without proper equipment like lighting, there’s only so much we can achieve.
Exactly how much?
Well that’s…
It’s fun because we’re trying it out for real.
There’re lots of cases where stuff like this leads to work.
If even while having fun you just stop half-way,
can you do anything big in your working life?
Isn’t it obvious!
Fuuu~~, we’re finally done.
I think it’s a pretty good end result.
AYAKA’s expressions are pretty cool too.
I guess it’s expected of her.
Her acting isn’t half-way done.
When you’re doing a live-action version, and AYAKA’s doing it…
That’s kind of scary…
When the lighting’s brighter it’s not as scary though.
It becomes cute instead.
Somehow,
AYAKA’s making an eerie expression but it becomes cute…
normally one would find it creepy but
for some reason it looks strange and charming…
I wonder why…
AYAKA’s creepy after all… I guess.
Haa~
I’m beat.
The makeup took an hour to complete
and the lighting was really elaborate,
I ended up getting tired…
There’re a lot of things I was supposed to do
but I ended up forgetting about them.
My home furniture arrived.
That’s right, I bought a chair.
For awhile I couldn’t find a chair that I really liked.
So I went looking for one.
This chair looks cute… or
so I thought.
It’s a little plain.
This is FENDI.
Well, the cushions were nice.
But it doesn’t suit the current image…
This,
is a brand I like.
“POLTRONA FRAU”.
Their chesterfields^ are the best.
The luster of its appearance is very different.
There’s a lot of feel in each
of those buttons fastening the leather.
Eh?
What?
“What’s a chesterfield?” you say…
You,
are you saying that for real?
Eh?
You have no interest in furniture?
You,
furniture is common knowledge to women.
If you don’t know a single thing about furniture,
you won’t become a great woman.
It’s like furniture
is a symbol of a woman.
Remember that well…
There’s no choice,
I guess I’ll teach you...
