GACKT OFFICIAL BLOG: GACKT's【recent favourite news】

GACKT Official Blog update. Translation below:

I wrote this blog on the plane headed for Japan.
It was only for one day,
but for the first time in awhile, I was able to spend some time relaxing, and at the end, had a fiercely enjoyable time while in Cebu.
My friends took care of me, as I have been working without a break since last year end through to the start of this year.

On this day,
although it was unfortunate that it was raining, the wind felt good
and in the afternoon, I got to drink wine from noon for the first time in awhile
as I spent time with them, getting into colourful casual conversations.

Although Cebu is a small island,
the transportation infrastructure has yet to be developed,
and when getting from Cebu City to Mactan, I was unluckily stuck in a traffic jam that made the journey 2 hours long.

Well,
during the time I was stuck in traffic in the afternoon, I was able to get work done to some extent so
upon arriving, this GACKT was proud of myself because it felt like I was able to get away from work a little.

「The sea is greeeaaat, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy!」

I yelled.

I slowly had my meal and thought of heading straight back but
in the end
they took me to a club.
To drink with the locals working there,
and the Korean, Chinese, Japanese exchange students who took turns...
While feeling sleepy, I was able to enjoyably? have a fiercely fun day
that ended at 6 a.m., just before my departure time.

This time, it's Hong Kong.
I also went around to a few different places in the Philippines
to meet and talk to the institutional investors and general investors from different countries.
In Manila, General Santos, Davao,
and in Cebu as well, Japanese businessmen who lived there locally and wanted to hear about【SPINDLE】were gathered,
and I would like to believe that not only was I able to explain about the advantages of this cryptocurrency, it's prospects, and the preparations for listing among other things,
I was also able to convey the sentiment of
【Why, I, GACKT, am dealing with this so seriously?】.

And,
from many of the entrepreneurs in the venue, I could strongly feel
through the sincere attitudes of intending to listen and understand,
that their long years of success in whatever business or industry they're in
is because of this humility and desire.

There weren't many people who were unfamiliar with what cryptocurrency is but
I was moved by how they unhesitatingly kept asking questions if there was something they didn't understand,
and how they fiercely took memos in their notes regardless of age.

At the end,
after my own words ended, warm feelings suddenly welled up in my chest.
I'm thankful for having this wonderful opportunity to learn so much.
I would like to actively appear more in such situations in future.

Right then,
all kinds of news has been creating waves in the streets again but
there are two recent news headlines that are my favourite.
This is the first one.

【GACKT Threatens! Gives Death Threats】

The rather strongly impactful title fitting of Lupin the Third made me unintentionally break into a smile.
This story is about the words that I jokingly wrote
at the end of my previous blog essay which said「Please be very careful when you’re walking home alone」,
and it looks like the citizens of the internet has picked up on that.
At the end, at the counter attack by Yamamoto Ichiro-san that said『(GACKT has) posted a threatening message against me...』
really hit me with a blast.
I expected no less!

I noticed that in the past, I would get much angrier over
Ichiro-san's counterattacks than over food or Mahjong.
I never expected that we would actually meet again like this, it makes me wonder if it's some kind of destiny.
It's been awhile, Ichiro-san.
I'm glad that you've been well.
You always give me fun articles to read.

Well then,
I really really thought that there was no way that there could be someone that would really have this exchange in real life in the world,
and I thought that there was no need to daringly say the words out lout but,
recently, scam websites by people touting the name SPINDLE have actually appeared
and these were words of disappointment and amazement spelt out for these people.

I thought that there couldn't be anyone in the world who would misunderstand that but,
if it wasn't Ichiro-san, then someone else might naturally point a finger at themselves and write about it.

If,
Ichiro-san ever gets attacked in the night,
I will protect you with all I can so please do not worry.
In the end, you're a guy I can use.

And,
the other favourite title of mine is this.

【Tragedy, GACKT Bought the Coins Only to Find They Cannot be Sold!】

This made me burst out in laughter for the first time in awhile.
That's just way too impactful.

Basically, no matter what coin it is, transactions/transfers/tradings of it are prohibited before listing,
and only after listing will it naturally start trading.
It's common knowledge to the point that it's embarrassing to even have to spell it out.

I think that there isn't anyone who can possibly take such an article seriously.
But, why would I be trading coins that have not even been listed?
What a mystery...

Recently, there are just so many click-bait articles
that the trend of writing about anything and everything is laughable.

Cryptocurrency has already become a huge global movement.
In recent years, youths and even housewives have never had their eye on finance and the economy to this extent before.
Even globally, it has become a phenomenon that no one can ignore.

And that's why,
it's important to obtain literacy about this.
If you're unable to properly make use of the correct literacy that you've obtained for yourself, you won't be able to increase your own assets,
and you won't be able to protect yourself from all kinds of malice-filled people.

Right then,
at present,【SPINDLE】has spread to every corner of the world.
An impressive amount of information that includes both positive and negative ones are spreading all around the world like a pandemic.
Although I've also seen negative opinions,
from the bottom of my heart, I am thankful that there are more positive opinions and a lot of support.

Without getting deceived by hoaxes or rumours,
please excitedly look forward to the announcement by authorised dealers and our official site.
I believe that we will be able to live up to the fans of SPINDLE and the many people who support us.

Information like trading on exchanges around the world
will be announced on the official site.

And, finally,
I was moved by the warm thoughtfulness and wonderful smiles of all the Japanese staff from【RUMHA HIGHLANDS HOTEL】in Cebu.
I think I'll want to visit again if I go to Cebu again.

Alright then,
we're already landing, so I'll get ready.
Until next time.

GACKT OFFICIAL BLOG: Once again, New Year greetings, and to the fans of SPINDLE

GACKT Official Blog update. Translation below:

It's the New Year, and once again.
An explosive happy new year.

This year, with much help from YOSHIKI,
I was able to maintain my status as a first-class celebrity again.

While YOSHIKI made the statement at the start that,

「(Even if we get it wrong and fall) That may be fine as it is...」

in my heart, a GACKT was exclaiming with all his might.

『Ooo〜〜〜〜yy!!! Do this seriouslyyyyy!!』

This year, I was able to get through it safely without going bald.

From start to end,
my heart was pounding but
as I watched YOSHIKI answering correctly with such ease,

『I’m embarrassed but, he’s kinda cool...』

I thought, and once again felt respect for my snack-loving big brother.

For this year as well, 2018 has started explosively.
To everyone who cheered for me
and everyone who sincerely hoped for me to not fall,
thank you.
GACKT still hasn’t lost it.
It is still a winning 2018.
*bow*.

Well then,
I, GACKT, has kept all kinds of my businesses hidden until now but、
the topic of the expression of my business participation in the ICO of 【cryptocurrency SPINDLE】,
which was announced last year end, created far more responses than I expected,
and that left me a little confused.

Personally, I’ve been involved in a variety of businesses for these past 14 years but
when I see some of those erroneous reports saying things like 「GACKT’s first business venture!」,

『This isn’t the first though...』

I’d think,
but such news kept popping up ever so often

Among that, there were sites saying things like
『Has he been caught up in fraud again?』
or 『Is he okay?』,
and whatever they want but
when you think of the overall ratio of successful businesses and investments,
the past losses are an insignificant amount of money, it’s not a cause for concern at all.

Thank you
for taking the trouble to worry about me.
*bows*.

Well then.
before I start talking about 【SPINDLE】,
the pronunciation of SPINDLE and Triendl were similar so,
I came to like it myself but
I completely mistook her for Darenogare-chan.
I apologise for that.
*bows*.

With this time’s release of information,
in terms of the overflowing amount of positive/negative information in the world,
there was a variety of reactions.

Looking at some of the biased posts and information on the internet,
I think there are likely those who will stop investments, saying
『This is bad! It’s a scam!』.

Alright, then no thanks.

In the end, investment stems from your own decisions.
It’s not something that needs to be forced.

There were also those who became anxious,
and posted directly to me.

『Are this time’s organisation’s members okay? You don’t know their past, do you?』』

Look here.
Even for me, before starting up a business,
I will definitely check and find out
who I’m working with and what kind of past they have.
Please do not worry.

In addition to that, I myself and my group too,
has judged that it’s alright to reveal GACKT’s name
because that business has strong positive backing for it, and it has great potential.

Do you think that I’d put my own name out myself
if there’s a mistake or if it’s going to be a scam?

Among the members involved, there are those who have been involved in administrative disposition as well.
An outsider can easily say 『You can just leave them out』 but
it’s precisely because we feel that their abilities are absolutely necessary
that we’ve made them one of our members.

And,
that person has also turned to work in the background
because they’ve had been heavily penalised in the past, saying
『Showing my face will create trouble for everyone』.

They had a difference in opinion with those authorities but
they had accepted the penalties.

Whatever the reason is
that a person has once been penalised for,
is this a society that keeps on putting down
a person who’s contributing to society
as they face their penalties and atone for their mistakes?
We’d still like to believe that Japan is the kind of country
that gives those kind of chances.

In fact, during these few years, ICOs for virtual currencies
have often been looked at as if they were scams.
It’s difficult to identify what’s the real deal too,
and if you hold any skeptical feelings with regards to SPINDLE
there’s no need for you to invest at all.

I sincerely think that only those who wish to support this UK-Japan joint project
that is 【SPINDLE】,
and those who can feel the significance and potential of it should take part.

And now,
all over the world, there are many fans of SPINDLE who support it.
Japan is part of it too.
Starting from Europe, the many fans of SPINDLE are spreading through Asia.

Unfortunately, America and China has banned ICOs.
In addition, there are also a few other Asian countries that have put in regulations for ICOs.
Japan’s regulations have also now become stricter.

Of course, we, too
hope that Japan will lay down the laws properly as soon as possible,
that the market will grow,
and that we will be able to smoothly carry out the project in a legal manner.

At present, all kinds of legal interpretations are floating around in the online world,
and with differing interpretations, it is still not possible to accurately discern which information is correct,
it can be said that the situation is dangerous

And the biggest pity of all to me,
is the fact that investors will simply be kept away from opportunities
because of biased perspectives and remarks by influential people,
and the reality is that the number of people who will lose opportunities is never ending.

In the end,
the most important thing is to decide based on your own judgement,
and to do your own studies properly.

Alright then,
I think I’ll talk about SPINDLE just a little.

This 【SPINDLE】 and
the service that we’re going to provide
is aimed at individual investors.
This will be a huge chance for people
who are intending to learn about investing from here on,
or are intending to start investing.

If I really break it down,
to simply explain what this service is in an easy to grasp way,
it combines the cryptocurrency user with the cryptocurrency hedge fund,
like a 【cryptocurrency matchmaking service】.

I think this is the easiest, most understandable description of it.

The process of personally accessing the internationally growing cryptocurrency hedge fund,
pulling out that track record,
scrutinising that, and eventually, investing, takes up an exceptionally large amount of time,
and is extremely difficult as well.

Of course,
those who personally have that ability to do it
can directly do it on their own.

To put it even more simply,
those who are capable of picking up women whenever, wherever, and in any situation
will not need a matchmaking service at all to begin with,
and they can simply look for a partner on their own, and pick someone up.

The reason why there’s an overflowing number of matchmaking services in the world
is because there are many people who wish to take a shorter amount of time for the encounter, the chance, and the success to occur.

The same can be said when it comes to investments.
At present,
the investors who have already earned a lot of profits
are the group of people who have the ability to locate and access the investments.

The service that we’re providing,
the matching platform 【ZETA】,
aims to provide an investment environment
that brings together the world’s cryptocurrency hedge fund、

with even more people,
with the people who intend to invest from here on,
with the people who want their investments to go smoothly
and with the people who have only dealt in cryptocurrency speculatively thus far.

The only ones who can access this
are those who have SPINDLE.

Of course,
after this gets listed on the cryptocurrency exchanges around the world,
this service will accelerate,
and it will create a flow of entry
for the global cryptocurrency hedge funds.

At present,
SPINDLE is in the pre-listing state.
This is of course,
but before listing, you can’t give away SPINDLE tokens
or sell them to anyone.
One of the reasons is to
deter people from selling the SPINDLE
tokens that they have at high prices.

Because I’m explaining it in a very simple manner,
more misunderstandings may occur but
it’s a pretty serious project.

When I describe it like this in this way again,
things like 『This time, GACKT has started a matchmaking service!』
might be said about me though.

When that happens,
I would think that it’s the end of Japan and I would like to go back overseas.
*bows*.

With such a serious topic, it might make you not want to start the new year so
I’ve tried bowing a number of times but
my thoughts and actions are all very serious.

Many people have actually gotten involved
to make this project a success.
From here on, I’ll update with information about it bit by bit.

To the fans of SPINDLE,
please wait patiently with excitement in your hearts.

And,
since it’s this kind of timing,
there will be fraudulent businesses that hop on SPINDLE,
and things like scam phone calls that will appear.

At present,
you can only purchase SPINDLE through an authorised distributor.
And the only form of purchase for it is a direct purchasing contract between SPINDLE itself and the purchaser.
It can't be done through non-KYC/AML compliant proxy purchases or group purchases at all.
Please share information about problematic posts and sites with us.
The official SNS sites have been set up.

Instagram
https://www.instagram.com/SPINDLE_zone/
twitter
https://twitter.com/SPINDLE_ZONE
Official facebook、
https://www.facebook.com/spindleSPD/

These SNS are already open.

Well then, I've rewritten this time's blog and
I've also been pissed off by all kinds of information that's circulating but
in the end, it's all become something like a huge promotion for it,
so I actually realised, while in the bullet train on the way back to Tokyo,
that I have to give a big thank you to everyone.
And so, with that said,
thank you.
I sincerely wish everyone a very wonderful 2018.
*bows*.

Happy New Year

「(Even if we get it wrong and fall) That may be fine as it is...」

and to that, in my heart, I exclaimed with all my might

『Ooo〜〜〜〜yy!!! Do this seriouslyyyyy!!』

while portraying a GACKT who has no expression.
This year, I was able to get through it safely without going bald.

From start to end, my heart
was pounding as if it was right after consuming Vi*gra but
as I watched YOSHIKI answering correctly with such ease,

『I’m embarrassed but, he’s kinda cool...』

I thought, and once again felt respect for my snack-loving big brother.

For this year as well, 2018 has started explosively.
To everyone who cheered for me
and everyone who sincerely hoped for me to not fall,
thank you.
GACKT still hasn’t lost it.
It’s still an erect*... No, it’s still a winning 2018.
Thanks.

*bows*.

Well then,
Triendl… no,
Before talking about 【SPINDLE】,
with this time’s release of information,
in terms of the overflowing amount of positive/negative information in the world,
when I look at the reactions from the general public,
before talking about financial literacy,
I could strongly feel that the information selection literacy is exceptionally weak.

Looking at some of the biased posts and information on the internet,
I think there are likely those who will stop investments, saying
『This is bad! It’s a scam!』.

Alright, then no thanks..

In the end, investment stems from your own decisions.
It’s not something that needs to be forced.
Please do look on enviously.

There were also those who became anxious,
and posted directly to me.

『Are this time’s organisation’s members okay? You don’t know their past, do you?』

Look here.
Even for me, before starting up a business,
I will definitely check and find out
who I’m working with and what kind of past they have.
It’s basic.

In addition to that, I myself and my group too,
has judged that it’s alright to reveal GACKT’s name
because that business has strong positive backing for it, and it has great potential.

Do you think that I’d put my own name out myself
if there’s a mistake or if it’s going to be a scam?
How much of a fool do you think GACKT is.

Of course,
among the members involved, there are those who have been involved in administrative disposition as well.
An outsider can easily say 『You can just leave them out』 but
it’s precisely because we feel that their abilities are absolutely necessary
that we’ve made them one of our members.

is the fact that investors will simply be kept away from opportunities
because of biased perspectives and remarks by influential people,
and the reality is that the number of people who will lose opportunities is neverending.

For the Japanese, who have weak information literacy skills to begin with,
their status quo is to be swayed by much of the media.
Looking at it from the outside, it’s quite a pity.
When it comes to making your own decisions by your own judgement,
what’s most important isn’t information from your superiors, but instead, it’s doing your own studies properly.

Alright then,
I think I’ll talk about SPINDLE just a little.

is someone selling all their SPINDLE tokens away at a high price.

it’s a pretty serious project.

I sincerely hope that you’ll somehow be able to safely
get through this year that has just started.
Please be very careful when you’re walking home alone.
*bow-bow*.
