GACKT Official Blog update. Translation below:

Finally,
the angry waves of an overcrowded schedule calmed down a little.
When there’s no room in my heart, my body also tends to break easily.

I went to get a drip, and my condition got a little better.

Let’s look back at what happened the other day.

I received an invite to the Gakuen Fest
from Camui♂Gakuen’s Student Council President.

As the Gakuen Fest was to be held before summer this year,
I decided to go watch the Gakuen Fest in Tokyo.

At the venue of the Gakuen Fest,
the F9 and the Student Council President has already started their rehearsals.
Looking at his serious expression,
the attitude of the usually playful President cannot be seen.
It’s a sign that they may not make it in time for various things.

When looking around the venue,
I found something funny.
Giving service in such detail like this is detestful.
From the superficial appearance of the Student Council President’s playful attitude, it might be difficult to imagine this but
I think he really gives his all to bring excitement to the students who are gathered.

The staff who came along with me put his face on the panel.
This is pretty bad…
I couldn’t stop laughing at how enraptured his expression was.
Just exactly how will it turn out if a woman’s face was put there?
It’s something I want to see.

This panel here gives a pretty good feeling.
In the changing rooms where I waited,
the members of the F9 were running this way and that,
checking various things and
looking like they were racing after the preparations until the very last minute.

It was then time for the performance to start, and the Gakuen Fest begins.
There were quite a number of students gathered,
and they looked like they were eagerly waiting for it.

On stage, the Student Council President, like always,
kept talking at his own pace as usual.
Stage familiarity is important too.
The way high school students can get used to it is abnormal…

Then,
the members of F9 go up on stage too
and the annual event that they do every year begins.

What was shown this year was rather risky,
and I could see that they were doing their best.
Their ability to make something that’s pretty dangerous become something funny
puts professionals to shame.

Even so
the Student Council President watched them, while laughing and clapping.
Even if he’s do-S, there’s a limit…

Since the staging is split into 2 parts,
from the second half onward, a performance by the F9, led by the Student Council President, started.

I feel like this every year but,
despite that they’re high school students, their performance ability wonderful,
and again, it makes me think that I have to work harder as a pro.
Their level is rather high…

In the blink of an eye, the end of the roughly 2 hours long stage arrived.

Since I believe that there will be students who look forward to finding out what tracks are included,
I thought that I shouldn’t write about them but
it’s a set list that is rich in variety.
It’s really something.

Despite that,
the song 【Pegasus Fantasy】 that came on in the middle really overwhelmed me.
That was supposed to be the opening song for the anime Saint Seiya but
to think that it turned out like that…

Since I’m drop by tomorrow’s Fukuoka Gakuen Fest too,
I’ll watch over their content.
This year’s Gakuen Fest is pretty high level…

I’m looking forward to tomorrow too.
