GACKT Official blog update. Translation below:

I woke up at 8 a.m. without any jet lag at all.
I may have mastered the solution to jet lag…
I went straight for a shower and then started training.
I did the stuff that can be done in the room without going to the gym though.

In this first half of the year, I’ve found quite a few rather effective methods so
even if I don’t spend that much time on it, I’m able to get something done.

That said,
if I add in flexibility stretches, it can’t be helped but I’ll end up spending an hour and a half in total.
Muscle training and flexibility exists as opposites of each other.
The more muscle training you do, the stiffer your body becomes.
It’s better to first create a flexible body, then effectively do muscle training.
If you want to make a muscled body flexible, it really takes up a lot of time.

It is especially so with the core muscles, and the more you build them up,
the body’s core becomes rather strong and tough.
Flexible yet tough muscles often look like they’re fatty muscles.
You should choose how you want to train by deciding on how you want to look,
what kind of appearance you’re aiming for, and how you want to use your body.

After finishing my training, I went downstairs and got my hair styled.
Today, I’ll be having a tea party with the users who were picked by BLANC.
I got my hair slightly styled and changed my clothes.

My hair has grown quite a bit.
I want to cut it but I’ll bear with it for awhile more.
After finishing my preparations, I had a quick meeting with the company president Yamashita.

It was then time and the tea party began.
I joined the tea party a little late.
One by one, I answered the participants’ questions
about basic beauty and body sculpting.

I don’t know how useful it was but
if these can become even the smallest of hints in the lives of the participants,
I’m sincerely happy from the bottom of my heart.

In my own opinion,
I’d basically pursue what I’ve found out on my own and research about it very thoroughly.
I’ll gather only the results, then I’ll improve on it again.
Repeating this over and over again is my current method
I don’t know if it’s correct or not but
at the very least, to me, it’s knowledge that’s very useful with regards to beauty and the body.

Time passed in the blink of an eye and the tea party ended.
I hope that this short period of time became something meaningful for everyone.

After that, I wanted to relax and have tea until my next appointment, so I headed to Roppongi Hyatt.
The next venue is near to this place and I thought of leisurely having tea here for awhile but
I heard from the hotel manager that they’re shooting YOSHIKI CHANNEL here.
If that’s the case, I thought of popping in for a little so I quickly contacted YOSHIKI’s manager
and suddenly intruded in the program.

We’re always passing by each other so unless it’s something like this, we never really get to meet.
Seeing YOSHIKI for the first time in awhile, I was glad to see that he looked well.
Furthermore, I was also able to meet INORAN-kun and George-kun after such a long while,
so it turned out to be a pretty happy program intrusion.

Recently, even if I want to meet friends like this, we can’t really match our timings.
Even though it’s a program, I’m glad that we could reunite like this
and I was worried about YOSHIKI more than anything else but he looks to be in good health.

As always, he’s silly and eccentric but I was glad that I was able to meet the usual YOSHIKI.
I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that his body will quickly recover, and that he will be able to perform his lives as he always does.
