GACKT OFFICIAL WEIBO – JUL 26 2017

GACKT Official Weibo update. Translation below:

It’s still middle of the night when I woke up.
And,
looking out from the window, the Empire State Building looks so surreal…
I want to see it after my work is done…I shall start working now.

Up until noon I was constantly talking with Japan side.
It was already evening when all the work was done.
I wonder if I still can go to the Empire State Building…

Basically,
I have no interest in sightseeing.

But,
looking at the Empire State Building everyday makes me feels like going,
so I decided to create my own memories.

From before…, no, I think even now.
I’m so in love with Meg Ryan.
Well, although it sounds weird……
but I’m still super in love with Meg Ryan’s smile.

I saw in this movie 《Sleepless in Seattle》,
her encounter with Tom Hanks on the observatory on top of the Empire State Building.

When I watched this movie then,
I didn’t feel anything about the Empire State Building,
but after I came here, I started to wonder where they actually film it.

Anyway, I wanted to see it with my own eyes.
So I packed my luggage and immediately rushed over.
I finally reached the outside of the building.

I thought “Is it really here?”
Because the exterior is really simple, and it wasn’t that bustling with people.
Anyway, I went in.

No, what I thought was wrong.
It was full of people the moment I stepped in.
I hate this feeling.
Don’t tell me I have to join in the queue…?

Uuuuwah————, I don’t wanna queue.
Still I walked to the ticketing counter.

I’m so dissatisfied…
even the ticketing counter has a long queue.

I finally know why everybody stopped.
Because there was security check…
Well, it’s right to do so.
When I thought about this, Tokyo Tower and Skytree are really a peaceful place…

After passing the security check is the ticketing counter.
Level 80.
After that,
the movie location should be on the 86th level.

Here!! I thought as I walked around.
Everybody was taking photos of the scenery outside, but I kept looking for the filming location.

This should be the location…
Uu~~wah…, I thought with deep emotions…

Then I went up to level 102.
When I looked out from the window the night view was really beautiful…

Sure enough, if I didn’t come, I would never have this experience…
When I was going down,
a black man in front of the elevator greeted us.

“GACKT??? Oh my god!!!!”
And asked what was I doing here?

And I answered without thinking: “Well——I came to see Meg Ryan!”

“Harh???”

They had a strange expression.
Right, this kind of reply will certainly be considered as pervert.
There have to be another way of saying it?

Safely reached the ground floor.
And I got to the restaurant.
Phew~~~

But going there was a good thing.
Although there are differences between the movie and reality, but it has awaken my memories.

Next time, if you come to NY, you have to come here at night.
