GACKT 「I was in a laughing fit during the SM scene」, a speil on the charms of movie 『Deadpool』

I~ have arrived! The hugely popular, 「4th wall (the wall between fiction and reality)」breaking superhero, Deadpool, is in a movie. To celebrate this, on May 26, a movie premiere event for 『Deadpool』 was held in Tokyo.
The movie is a mega hit and the number 1 R-rated film, it made a record as the movie with the best opening performance for Twentieth Century Fox Films, and has already broken various records in 120 countries that it has been released in.

During the event’s red carpet, firstly to enjoy the blockbuster film, Yomiuri Giants pitcher Miles Mikolas and his wife Lauren, and professional boxer and model Takano Tomomi, graced the carpet. After that, together with 「Deadpool dancers」, GACKT and Creepy Nuts (R-Shitei & DJ Matsunaga) appeared. GACKT said 「I really like Deadpool, so I’m glad that it finally became movie 」and 「Its amazing that the one time Marvel tried having a dark hero as a main character for a movie, it became a huge hit around the world」 among other things.

After the special stage on the red carpet ended, GACKT and Creepy Nuts moved to the screening area, and appeared in front of the audience who were there for the screening. Possibly because it was a surprise, loud cheers erupted from the audience stands. When asked about the movie’s highlights, GACKT, who has already watched the English version, said with a grin 「There’s an SM scene. He ends up on all fours. That’s the part I really like. For me I was in a laughing fit」.

In the middle, with the 『Deadpool』 movie’s R-rating (shitei in Japanese), R-Shitei who appeared as a guest performed a freestyle rap. On the rap battle tournament program 「Freestyle Dungeon」 (TV Asahi), R-Shitei mows down the freestyle rapping challengers, and on that day displayed his prowess. With 2 from GACKT, and a topic from audience who got picked, he weaved them together and wowed the venue.

In the last part, the broke open the sake barrel while chanting 「Go！ Go！ Deadpool！」 in hopes of it being a hit in Japan. At the end, GACKT fueled the audience, saying 「It has broken records around the world, so if this doesn’t break any in Japan, we’ll seem like a boring country. I’d hate for that. So I hope that everyone will spread the word about the movie」.

Incidentally, this is not the first time that 「I~」 Deadpool is appearing on screen. In reality, he appeared as the last boss in the previously released movie 「Wolverine： X-MEN ZERO」. However, many around the world heavily criticised the fact that he was completely different than the original work and looked like a horror creature, flooding it with comments like 「That’s not what Deadpool is ~!」. However, as mentioned previously, the movie 『Deadpool』 was well received. It looks like we can somehow enjoy the movie with a piece of mind.

The movie 『Deadpool』 will be released nationwide on June 1 in TOHO Cinemas!

Today, May 26, the public premiere movie event for 「Deadpool」 was held in Tokyo, at TOHO Cinemas Roppongi Hills, GACKT and Creepy Nuts (R-Shitei & DJ Matsunaga) made appearances.

In 「Deadpool」, ex-special forces member Wade Wilson gets told that he has late-stage cancer, and gains an immortal body and superhuman combat abilities through human experimentation. The action movie follows his activities as he works under the name Deadpool. Because of the extreme content, it has been rated R-15.

This day’s event was held on a special stage set up at the theatre entrance and in the theatre itself. First, DJ Matsunaga appeared at the DJ booth on the special stage, and spun a danceable track. Then, Deadpool and the dancers appeared and unveiled an acrobatic performance. Furthermore, R-Shitei, who had the movie’s R-15 rating (shitei in Japanese) named after him, appeared and performed a rap that was centred around 「Deadpool」. After that, GACKT was called in, and commented about the movie 「There are all kinds of characters that fall under the category of American heros but, for the first time a hero of this type has been made. For myself I’m really happy that this movie became a huge hit globally. Because he’s quite a funny hero I’ll be glad if people like him too」.

During the stage greeting held after moving into the theatre, GACKT spoke excitedly about scenes that he likes. Despite saying 「Will this be a spoiler?」, he said 「I really love the avocado scene. Another scene I like is the SM scene. He ended up on all fours, that’s what I liked. Despite that he’s a hero (laughs) 」. He also mentioned action scenes that he was moved by 「There were lots of action scenes that used extreme martial arts, and I thought that it was well incorporated into the movie」.

In addition, by the MC’s introduction, Creepy Nuts came to the stage. The MC touched on R-Shitei’s freestyle rapping being a hot topic, and requested 「Will you perform it for us here?」. R-Shitei readily agreed to it, and GACKT gave the keywords「crazy main character」 and 「is it alright to describe it like this」 which were inline with the movie. Furthermore, together with the keyword 「Johnny Depp」 from the audience, R-Shitei used the words and performed a freestyle rap a cappella. Even GACKT was in admiration of the degree of perfection in his rap that incorporated the charm of the movie and the keywords as well. He confessed 「At the end I thought Johnny Depp would somehow appear」. With regards to his own performance, R-Shitei said 「Although its not being graded ……」, but upon receiving a big round of applause from the audience, he looked embarassed as he laughed 「So that means its 100 points （laughs）」. And at the end, GACKT and Creepy Nuts broke open the sake barrel, and ended with the event being a great success.
In addition, at the event held at the theatre entrance, professional baseballer Miles Mikolas and his wife Lauren, and professional boxer Takano Tomomi also attended the premiere.
