[LIVE REPORT] GACKT and Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra's moment of splendour
The special collaboration live between GACKT and Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, "An Evening of Classical Splendour" took place on 26 December.
The peformance was split into 2 parts. The first was the orchestral performance conducted by Kurita Hirofumi. The first half began with the theme of Yoshitsune Hiden, the play which was being performed from March 2014 earlier, followed by GACKT's debut song Mizerable and his newest single DAY BREAKERS -Akatsukizukuyo-, creating a fitting lineup for the final performance of 2014 during which GACKT celebrates his 15th year of going solo.
The second half is built on GACKT fan favourites, with 5 songs, including Love Letter which was popularised by the CM in which he was marrying co-star Yonekura Ryoko.
Despite that 25,000yen is expensive for a ticket, the event's tickets were sold out, and commenting on the 2014 event being in response to the critically acclaimed 2013 event, GACKT said "Being able to meet everyone here like this, and with the thought of doing this again next year, I'll sing this song." and entered into the final song "12 Gatsu no Love Song" in the midst of rousing applause.
Aside from the Stage Play "Moon Saga Special Chapter -Hot Blooded School Life-" which will be held on the 8th January 2014 at Nakano Sun Plaza Hall, GACKT's greatest life work is in the plans for summer 2015.

TRANSLATION TAKESHI NAKANO BLOG - December 21st 2014
This year is about to end.
How are you all?
It's not an habit for me to update GACKT's Blomaga
This year has been full of big changes for me.
Maybe this year is the review of the last ten years of my life.
5 years ago, and also 2 years ago, I had a desperate moment where closing my company seemed an inevitable solution.
Why did I decided not to close it?
I still wonder today....
If you think only about the profit and money, closing the company would have been definitely the right decision. If I'd done that, I could have had a more wealthy life....
However, I decided not to
first of all for the extravagant GemCEREY clients that believed in a bizarre man like me. You are really crazy and... I love you!!!
And also for all of you, my crazy collaborators.
You are really crazy too.
And I thank you all.
Thank you guys.
And so many other bizarre and extravagant people that always believed in me.
Thank you so much.
You know that maybe you are right?
I think I did good on enduring on this.
Wait, there's another bizzarre person.
GACKT！He's really crazy!!!
He's extremely crazy!!!!
Thank you for your friendship~
To have these people close to you it's more important then money and profit.
To survive in this world, you need to have a lot of passion to do your best and giving your best in each moment!! In the now!!
Bye♪

TRANSLATION - Excite Music Nagoya report *SPOILER*
The Ultimate School Festival Entertainment Show Tour by GACKT, [Camui Gakuen de MatomenaSai] kicked off on 29 November (Sat) at Aichi Port Messe Nagoya.
神威♂楽園（Camui Gakuen） is a fictional school where、“the Young Master of Camui Conglomerate who loves GACKT” and looks like GACKT, Camui Gakuto, presides as the Student Council President. The event was organised with the motto: 「Play with abandon, work your hardest, dive headfirst into everything with all your energy」. The Gakuen (School) Fest, is where Camui Gakuto and GACKT's band members and dancers form "F9" and showoff their skits and cover songs in full glory.
Also, from the audience to the staff members (of course including the reporters!) are all dressed in school uniforms as per the dress code. In the event venue, the "Sales Department" sells goods which can only be obtained in this event, and there is also an eating area called the "Gakusei Shokkudo" (Student Cafeteria). Furthermore, besides each performance having its own Mr-Miss Camui Gakuen Pageant, the event venue is decorated with life-sized standees of the Student Council President and the members of F9 that allows you to have fun snapping as many photos with them as you want.
The first part of the performance started with opening remarks, singing the Camui Gakuen school song, Principal Kamei's speech, and finally the Student Council President of Camui Gakuen, Camui Gakuto appears. With a smile on his face, Camui Gakuto leisurely strolls along the red carpet laid out in the middle aisle and approaches the stage. Because there is a rule about remaining ladylike, the students kept to their seats and welcomed him with greetings like "Seito Kaicho! (Student Council President)" or "Gokigenyo!" Ahh, Student Council President looks impeccable today too...
Following the announcement of the winners of the Mr-Miss Camui Gakuen Pageant as mentioned before, was the Variety Corner by the F9. This year, we watched the Student Council President endure the severe pain of a foot reflexology session, F9 members kissing each other, and a punishment game.
And finally, we finally dived into the main musical program of a live performed by the LIght Music Club. Following the theme of "MatomenaSai" (i.e. to summarize) this year, they picked songs that they have previously covered to perform. In addition, since there are 2 types of set lists having been prepared, the songs that will be played at any given venue can be different. Today's set list is called “神ver.” (Kami version).
Here, with the Student Council President as the vocalist of the LIght Music Club's “SUPER EXCELLENT HIGHSCHOOL STUDENTS IN JAPAN”, 「SEX JAPAN」 for short, they performed numbers from T.M.Revolution, LUNA SEA, THE BLUE HEARTS, L'Arc～en～Ciel and others “with all their energy”. In addition, during the cover of X JAPAN's song、the Student Council President showed off his drum skills dressed like the topless YOSHIKI、and at the same time, the did a perfect copy of AKB48's 「Heavy Rotation」 while dressed up as girls. The level of great quality is worth special mention! They showed us exactly what is means to 「Play with abandon, work your hardest, dive headfirst into everything with all your energy」.
【Camui ♂ Gakuen de MatomenaSai】 has only 3 more runs left. If you're dressed in a school uniform, be unabashed, why not go through the doors of Camui Gakuen to where the Student Council President awaits. Please note that Excite Music will also be reporting about the 14 December (Sunday) performance at Chiba Port Arena after the tour ends, so please do look forward to it.
