For the part of the female heroin in the new 「MOON SAGA-Yoshitsune hiden- chapter 2」created by GACKT, two girls have been chosen among more than 100 candidates Hatsume(21), former Chu-Z singer and a model at the moment, Arisa Kuroda(26), a TV personality.

On July 29th during the press conference Kuroda said in tears "I finally made it... it was a long journey" instead Hatsune said "This is my first time that I work in a play. My character doesn't talk so I will try to show what I feel inside".
Hatsune has a brilliant career as a model, she was the official model for「Nicky」Magazine and she won also a judge price.

Kuroda acted in the tv show「Syu-ichi」and right now she's a regular guest at the「kouko-kouza」tv show.

GACKT said "I saw a lot of potential in them" in the beginning they were just looking for one actress but in the end they picked two, on this subject GACKT commented "Well, since we are not so sure about their skills, we picked two just in case. The one that will not work as we hope between the two, will be gunned down" joking, hopefully.

This is the sequel for「MOON SAGA- Yoshitsune hiden」(2012) . This time GACKT, other than being the main actor, will also curate the script and the music to create new stories that were not in the previous play. Hiyori (陽和) part played by Hatsune will be the key to the whole story. The play takes place in the late Heian period, Minamotono Yoshitsune (GACKT) finds himself in the famous Japanese battle between two noble families: Genji family and Heike family,「Danno ura」

The play starts on August the 8th in Tokyo at the Meiji za theatre.

TRANSLATION extract of Mayo Kawasaki blog

Good Morning everyone!

At rehearsals now
taking a break after completing GACKT Juku (cram school) - 2 hours of training involving muscle training and stretches!

GACKT is teaching the muscle training method
I am listening seriously!

GACKT demonstrating the half-raise muscle exercise
This abdominal muscle exercise is quite dangerous!

Mayoblog-luglio13-02 Mayoblog-luglio13-03

Tae-kwan-do and acrobatic skills are also taught!

From now onwards,
As we enter into the system of stage practices
Everyday, I can somehow taste a sense of accomplishment

Mayoblog-luglio13-04

For the 51-year old me
Somehow holding up my fist and lying down
Everyone who is working hard together with the young people
When they see Mr. Mayo, they will also say "I will work hard too!"

Mayo will never give up!


Time Spiral Poster Photo-shoot Part 1

Hello! This is assistant producer Nakazawa!

The other day, there was a poster photo-shoot for the premium drama "Time Spiral" in a certain studio in Tokyo. Let me tell you about the photo-shoot!

A pure white studio set-up was used as the background.

NHK-Time Spiral-01
The cameraman and the art director had an in-depth discussion on the setting of the photo-shoot.

Oh, this is a rough version (of the poster)?

NHK-Time Spiral-02

Somehow it is rather cool - like a movie poster.

Once GACKT entered, the shooting began!

NHK-Time Spiral-03

GACKT plays the character, Shuya, a physics professor, who appeared in front of the heroine Aizawa Natsuki, played by Kuroki Meisa. However in truth, he is a lonely time traveller going back and forth, between the past and the future.

Please look at this beautiful appearance.

In a white shirt matched with a quality scarf, the costume has a subdued tone that is the very image of a calm physics professor.

But there are signs that this time traveller is full of mysteries that are not completely hidden.

This dual (character) is one of the highlights of the drama.

Just by looking at this shot, it's guaranteed that the poster would be filled with the full mysterious charms of Shuya.

Ahhh, what will the poster be like, my heart is already pounding!

After this, Kuroki Meisa will be doing her photoshoot. I'll tell you about it next week. Please look forward to it!

GACKT daring to bare it all

Barks02

GACKT welcomed his 41st birthday on 4th July 2014. GACKT's androgynous sex appeal, which has already attracted many women, is likely to be boosted further now that he has generously showed off his wild and sexy physical beauty once again.

Showing off his nude body in the "Love and Sex" special feature in [GLITTER] magazine, due for release on 7th July 2014, there will be various poses based around the theme of "domination and submission", there will even be a full nude showcase!

Constantly advocating that one should be "a man among men before being an artist", GACKT has continued with his training every day without fail, this time showing off with great pride his beautiful well-forged body, unbelievable for a 40 year old.

One of his nude photos from this special feature would be used for the jacket of the limited edition "world's first life-size GACKT body pillow", to be released together with GACKT's 45th single titled [Akatsukiyo - Day Breaker] in October and only available on GACKT's official site. An original photo different from the magazine would be used and we are looking forward to the form that GACKT would be showing off.

This year is the 15th anniversary of GACKT as a solo artist. During the fan club limited event on 4th July 2014, it was announced that there would be a [Last Visualiveツアー] which would bring to an end the [Moon Project] that had been going on the past 15 years. One of the aspects of the [Moon Project] is also the GACKT-produced stage play [Moon Saga - Yoshitsune Hiden - Second Chapter], which begins performances on 8th August. From the opening of the stage play to the [Last Visualive] in the summer of 2015, it is likely to be a very bustling 15th anniversary year for the GACKT fan!
