GACKT Official news update. Translation below:

Thank you for your support of Gakuton -GAKTON-.

This time, GACKT has decided to change his name from GACKT to Gakuton -GAKTON- before his 20th solo debut anniversary but there were around 2.9 million claims that came in from many fans and clients.

GACKT and the managing office are taking this very seriously, and have decided to voluntarily cancel and retract all announced activities.

At the same time, the name change to Gakuton -GAKTON- will be treated as a temporary action, and we are announcing that he will revert to the name GACKT again for all activities.

Thank you for your continued and future support.
