ItalianoGACKT Official Blog update. Translation below:
I quickly did training in the morning.
I took a shower then immediately did push ups.
It may sound like an odd order to do things in but
when I’m busy I have to quickly do things
during the in between moments.
That’s the GACKT way.
I then headed straight to the salon
to trim my hair since it has grown a little longer.
My fringe has grown quite a lot.
I actually wanted to cut my hair short but
there’s a reason why I can’t do that.
I think I spoke of this before last year but
because of the pressure from before and after the filming of 2016’s Kakuzuke CHECK
a round shaped bald spot appeared in the back of my head.
Honestly, when I found it
I had a great laugh.
Normally, I think that different kinds of bad things are also energy.
That’s why
I think of living without stress and such.
So, after smoothly completing
this time’s filming for the 2017 Kakuzuke CHECK,
I personally believed that
compared to last year
I’ve managed to finish the shoot without much pressure.
However,
after that…
Just as I thought of getting my hair cut short when I went to the salon
『Big bro, it’s appeared again!』
was the bombshell that dropped.
While I thought, Seriously!!
the moment I saw the bald patch on my head
I again burst out in laughter.
In the past, any kind of baldness has never happened but
this time it looked like it appeared for a commemorative sake.
Looks like GACKT also feels stress.
I myself am completely unaware of it though.
Apparently, it looks like my heart has been damaged.
Ahahaha.
It’s seriously hilarious.
When I found it, hair is already growing so,
well, I guess it’ll grow back in about a month.
Honestly, there are lots of people in the world
who face all kinds of stresses in life.
And there are also a lot of people who sigh
while they frown upon those stresses with suspicion.
This is what I think.
No matter how bad the experiences that you’ve gone through are
it’s more important to live life in a way
that turns all of that into funny stories.
『Laugh in times like these』
This will do.
If you are able to laugh
whatever it is, it will really become a funny story.
Don’t lock away these things in yourself.
Even I, GACKT,
can end up with one or two bald spots.
Despite that, I laugh when I look into the mirror.
『Ahahahaha, hilarious〜』
That will do.
Even if you worry about it, you can’t do anything about it can you.
The act of worrying
is equivalent of staring at an incomplete puzzle
and wondering
「What the hell is this picture?」.
What’s important is completing that puzzle.
In other words, you have to make a move.
Don’t stop and just stand there.
If you can laugh while progressing forward
all bad things will definitely become funny stories.
That’s how it is.
