ORICON.CO.JP: GACKT increases his winning streak on 『Kakuzuke CHECK』 to 48

GACKT increases his undefeated, unmatched personal winning streak on 『Kakuzuke CHECK』 to 48

ABC, TV Asahi’s 『Geinoujin Kakuzuke CHECK! This is the real first-class product! 2017 New Year's Day Special』(6:00 p.m.), which has become a yearly New Year’s Day tradition, and has “first-class celebrity” GACKT’s winning streak journey becoming a hot topic each time, was broadcasted on the 1st. GACKT extended his personal win streak to 48, showing his overwhelmingly unmatched performance again this year.

This time as well, GACKT, who appeared in the studio with a confident look, said that if he was undone by the first question, which requires distinguishing between a bottle of wine that costs 1 million yen from one that costs 5,000 yen, he declared that 「I’ll go home」. He impressively answers it correctly, and following the wine, he continues adding on to his winning streak by answering without any hesitation in his eyes, like his successfully distinguishing truffles of the finest quality from frozen truffles, and a professional jazz band from an amateur one.

In the team challenge, although Takafumi Horie got the answer wrong by not picking the instruments that are worth 2.8 billion yen, and caused them to fall to the rank of 「Normal Celebrity」 again this year, GACK himself chose the correct answer to this question.

The legend of GACKT started in 2009. With Barcelona Olympic Games Judo 78 kg class gold medalist, Yoshida Hidehiko, music producer Tsunku ♂ (2015), movie director Kiriya Kazuaki (2012), former K-1 world champion Masato (2013), singer Nishikawa Takanori (2014), and Golden Bomber’s Kiryuuin Sho (2015), he has partnered with friends who he was close with in their private life, together they continued his consecutive winning streak.

However in 2016, his partners, Kis-My-Ft2’s Kitayama Hiromitsu and Nakayama Yuma got an answer wrong, and the team winning streak was stopped at 39. Since then, the focus has been on how far GACKT can stretch his personal winning streak to.

ORICON.CO.JP: Will GACKT continue his personal Kakuzuke Check 42 win-streak next year?

Will GACKT continue his personal Kakuzuke Check 42 win-streak next year?

With “First-class entertainer” GACKT’s winning streak and the sight of his wholehearted rejoicing at getting the correct answer becoming a “New Year” tradition, ABC’s TV Asahi program 『Geinoujin Kakuzuke CHECK! This is the real first-class product! 2017 New Year's Day Special』 will be broadcast on New Year’s Day next year (January 1, 6 p.m. ~ 9 p.m.). On the 『2016 New Year’s Day SP』, his team’s winning streak stopped at 39 but GACKT’s personal winning streak extended to 42. Will he be able to further extend his win record!?

The GACKT legend began on 2009’s New Year’s Day. He appeared with his “close friend”, Barcelona Olympic Games Judo 78 kg class gold medalist, Yoshida Hidehiko. Following that, he partnered with movie director Kiriya Kazuaki (2012), former K-1 world champion Masato (2013), singer Nishikawa Takanori (2014), and other friends who he was close with in their private life, together they continued his consecutive winning streak.

However, during the 『2015 New Year’s Day SP』 when he achieved his 36th winning streak, GACKT complained 「No one wants to be my partner」, and had his “junior” Kiryuuin Sho (Golden Bomber), who could not say no, to be his parnter. Kiryuuin Sho said, 「I don’t want to prevent GACKT from succeeding」, and with that pressure, his face cramped, and perspiring non-stop, he kept being teased by MC Hamada Masatoshi (Downtown).

Finally, for the 『2016 New Year’s Day SP』, he was grouped with the talents Kitayama Hiromitsu (Kis-My-Ft2) and Nakayama Yuma from Johnny’s. Moreover, whenever GACKT enters either one of the AB rooms, everyone would rejoice at their assurance that they picked the “correct answer”, and MC Hamada would lose his ground, so they took measures and set up a private room to by used by GACKT.

From the start of the program, Hamada kept stirring up Kitayama and Nakayama, saying 「Break (his record winning streak)」, but they managed to continue until the 40th winning streak, when his instigation came true on Check 4 「Wind music」. Kitayama and Nakayama had to listen and distinguish between a professional and amateur wind symphony orchestra performances. It was the first time that GACKT had to taste the humiliation of falling to the rank of a normal celebrity, but with a simple comment of 「I’m sad」, he did not blame his two partners and gave them a warm-hearted response. In the next challenge, Check 5 「Bonsai」, the scene that became a hot topic was when GACKT impressively picked the 100 million yen Bonsai and jumped up from his chair with such momentum that it toppled, displaying his emotions and exclaiming 「Sshaa!!」, 「Mental reset!」.

After the broadcast, GACKT revealed on his own blog that due to the pressure from 『Geinoujin Kakuzuke CHECK』, hair loss in the shape of a small circle appeared on his head… He readily agreed to appear on the 『2017 New Year’s Day SP』 too, and this time, he will be taking part with Takafumi Horie, a.k.a. Horiemon, in a team. This time as well, the unique GACKT world will unfold, with his confident claim 「There’s no possibility that I can make a mistake with one of the top 5 chateaus」 as he tasted the wine, and his description of high quality meat. How far will he bring his unprecedented personal winning streak of 42?
