GACKT OFFICIAL WEIBO – AUG 29 2017

GACKT Official Weibo update. Translation below:

This time
I’m being invited to the [WORLD POKER TOUR] held in LA.

I’m here at the party venue,
and saw a row of familiar faces.
I first talked a bit with the CEO Adam
he poured quite a lot into this event too.
He started WPT 15 years ago and now the prize money is more than 1 billion.

I was introduced to the competition director of THE BICYCLE HOTEL
Mo Fathipour
He spoke with a heavy local accent that made his English a little hard to understand
but he kept making jokes and smiling.

I was being introduced to a interesting person.
After I went into the venue, as expected, it’s filled with amazingly handsome young men.
The one at the far left is Wes Johnson, who is a very influential cosplayer in Twitch and YouTube,
beside me is the commentator Tony Dunst.
He’s a very famous poker player, who won last year’s WSOP bracelet.
I was surprised at everyone’s brilliant smile.
What kind of invincible smile can gave out such brilliant light? They’ve already reached such a level
Really, it’s too strong…
I felt I can’t win such bright smiles…

This commemorative wine is also for this event
It’s the original wine made from Napa Valley.
There’s also the young entrepreneur who develops wine in Napa Valley
and the fellow designers also participated in the party.
They had a super funky attitude and so I asked about their age, and when they said 24 years old, i thought
『nothing fucks you harder than time…』I can’t help but muttered to myself within
that’s the [American norm]…

Joining such American party
These high quality smile surprises me every time.

Every time I worried about whether I can speak English.
When they speak quickly there will be some parts that I can’t catch,
at times like this I can only smile and try to hide it.

This is also kind of practice.
