GACKT had a team battle against Taka & Toshi as an opening game. 「Well… I’ve been practicing for today. I don’t think that it’s not normally possible for me to lose though. In this one week… I didn’t really sleep and kept playing」 he said, revealing that he has been staying up at night to practice for a week. Then, he said 「Because I hate being told, that I should do it properly because it’s work…」, emphasising his stance on competition be it in games or work.

In the opening game, GACKT was teamed with a fan who was selected from the general public, and emerged victorious. GACKT said with a laugh 「Taka & Toshi-san didn’t really practice, did they. The way they attacked, isn’t what you’d do… I guess it was an easy win」. Taka (41) from Taka & Toshi, said before the battle 「During this one month from May 24, I successfully lost 8kg. I did well」, citing his triumph, but was dismissed by GACKT with 「On the whole, I get upset when someone says they went on a diet」. Toshi (４０) too laughed, and said「I, too, am upset」.

In the informal press conference, GACKT proudly said 「I borrowed a chassis for practice, and I sped through it, clearing all the games and collecting all the characters. If I lost this I’d be an idiot.」. He then added with a cool smile, 「The reality is that I stayed up all night to play it. I’ll end up like this if I get addicted. In love as well, because I’ll end up like this if I get infatuated, I try not to get infatuated, anyway…」.
