ItalianoGACKT Official Weibo update. Translation below:
I woke up slightly late today.
My body doesn’t feel like moving.
After that I went to the bathroom to wash my face.
Like this, I still wasn’t awake.
At this moment I immediately did some push-ups,
Then the blood instantly rushed to my head and I was completely awake.
I had a shower, and took a few photos of my back.
But I still feel tired.
I lied on the sofa not wanting to move,
And thinking about what kind of style should I wear today.
This kind of feelings…
It’s the Giorgio Armani jacket I bought few days ago.
It looked like D&G,
But it really is Armani.
Hmm…forget it.
My replacement meal for breakfast is supplements and green vegetable juice.
Metal muscle HMB has quite the result.
Then Takumi contacted me.
“Bro, there’s this kind of news again.”
I opened the link he sent me,
And the subject jumped out at me.
“GACKT’s advice to the custom officers, don’t do it if you can’t smile”
What is this? After that I read the content.
It’s about what I wrote in the blog a few days ago…
First of all,
I did not mean to “advise”,
If it was taken as an advice, then it is not my position to say so being so young.
If it caused any misunderstanding, I hope I can explain.
This was not an advice,
Or rather it’s a plea.
The person who wrote this seemed to be a man call Nakada Hiroshi.
He wrote before an article call “Mayor’s Time”.
He is a man with unique concepts.
I continued to read the content…
Well,
Maybe because of his own unique ways of imagination,
It made his interpretation unique too.
Nakada carefully wrote the roles of the custom officers,
Of course, I fully understood this.
Then I re-read the content I have written in my blog.
I, GACKT, did not tell the custom officers, “You have to smile!”…
After that I repeatedly read the original post, yes I didn’t.
Nakada seemed to have misunderstood something,
So I shall write my point of view.
I too, can fully understand the work of the custom officers.
On this basis, I would like to stress that,
The “request” I have wrote in my previous blog will have to stay in this content.
“If there’s a chance, I hope you all can add some smiles,
Like this, people who came from overseas will be able to reduce a little bit of uneasiness”
Yes, this is what I wrote.
If there’s a chance,
Add some smiles in the end,
This will make people feel happy.
Nakada said he has never seen any smiley custom officers from overseas.
That’s right, neither did I.
And I have never thought to be smiling all the way,
And I have never written such things in my blog.
But what Nakada in the end said was,
Have you ever seen any custom officers and immigration staff who are smiley?
I have actually met a lot of these kind of people,
I went to forty over countries due to work.
No matter it’s overseas, or Japan,
For those staff members who can add a smile in the end,
I always feel thankful for them.
In the midst of being busy,
They were still able to add a little smile to it,
This is something really remarkable.
This is certainly not only the airport staff,
The police,
The city hall,
All the institutes,
All professions are included, is it not?
Of course,
The congressmen who support the country, the staff, we can say the same for them too.
Of course,
I’m included too.
Greeting someone with a smiling face,
This is a talent only we humans have, right?
In the future, if there’s such misleading article,
I hope everybody can correct me.
