TRANSLATION NIKKANSPORTS ARTICLE: "GACKT :I have no time to do drugs"
On the 29th, singer GACKT (40) criticised artists who use illegal drugs on his blog and at the same time declared, "I'm not as free as to get myself involved in those drugs!".
The theory from GACKT is that "Inadvertently, there are unfortunately many sloppy people who call themselves musicians" and "It's especially so when it comes to sales. There are many people who end up drowning themselves in women, money, alcohol and drugs.".
In recent news, if we were to mention musicians who have been arrested for illegal drug use, the news about Aska (from the group Chage & Aska) being a suspect has been a hot topic. Perhaps under the influence of such news, there may have been suspicions of GACKT dabbling in drugs. To such suspicions, GACKT dismisses them with the statement "I'll make you fly!"
Further on, he gave criticism by saying, "From my point of view, people who get caught up in drugs and alcohol are inferior people.". Nevertheless, there not few entertainers who have been arrested for illegal drug use. His indignant response to that was, "People who go out to work, or at least those who have huge influences on their fans, to get caught up in alcohol and drugs...".

GACKT and the unexpected final audition event for Moon Saga 2
GACKT, The unexpected happening at the final audition for the heron's role in the theatrical representation
''The final audition for the girl who is able to steal Yoshitsune-GACKT's'' held to choose the role of the heroine (Hiyori) in the second chapter of ''Moon Saga – Yoshitsune Hiden'', Theatrical play that has GACKT himself as All Produce, in the role of lead actor, director, writer and scriptwriter, took place at the Shibuya AX in Tokyo, and as judging committee, other than GACKT himself, there were other people that have the role of co-protagonist: Kawasaki Mayo, Hiro Yumi, Furumoto Shinnosuke and Uda Tataki.
These auditions for the role of the one and only Hiyori, the heroine that is going to represent the key-point of the story, starts from March the 31 and will be open to all.
The fierce 24 winners of the public audition were announced, so that day had to be decided the role of Hiyori, and the casting was broadcasted on Niconico douga.
While the great number of people who rushed to the venue observed the proceedings, GACKT, Kawasaki, Yumi and Furumoto enterd the scene. -Today I hope from the bottom of my heart to find a marvellous Hiyorin- Greeted GACKT, opening the curtains on the audition.
While, starting from GACKT, each member of the committee sharpen the look, everyone immersed themselves in what was the first examination, which was the ability of portraying emotions: sadness, happiness and pain without using words.
During this examination were chosen, not only by consultation among members of the committee, but also through poll open to the public that gathered there, the 15 girls who would have taken part in the second audition.
Right after this first audition, with Furumoto in the role of Musashibou Benkei, took place the second examination consisting in acting a small scene with the 15 girls, -Each of you have eyes with an extraordinary expressiveness. Me too, I was stimulated by this because I had to work harder.- and Uda -Looking at you by the point of view of an actor, I'm deeply touched by your freshness- they both praised the finalist examined in this test.
Furthermore, on the second performance, -It really got through my heart the vivid interpretation of all of you, and perceiving your strong will to act in this role I was strongly motivated- (Yumi), -During the interpretation without dialogues you were able to fill the emptiness, there were parts in which I was able to perceive the thoughts and feelings in an extreme way, I felt that this was the real origin of acting- Commented Yumi and Kawasaki.
-People that, even without being able to act, made me feel their ability, if there's some potential, and till where they can get, here and now, in this venue, gave me a precious sensation.
More than in the whole situation, in this exact moment, the kind of person that has this enchanted expression, a natural good atmosphere around her, makes me think that she is necessary for the role of Hiyori- pronounced GACKT.
On the stage where the audition took place, it was expected to be proclaimed the result for the role of Hiyori, but the examination, proceeding with difficulty, without getting to a definitive result, unpredictably got to an end, with the sudden announcement that the winner would have been announced the following day through HP.
On this decision -From now one we'd like to retire to deliberate on which of the girls is more suitable for the role-, explained GACKT, - When this stage was reached by all of you, non only Hiyori but even all the other actors wanted to do their best, I think. So please, wait patiently- he concluded.
The play ''MOON SAGA, Yoshitsune Hiden, will be on tour starting from August the 8th, reaching other than Tokyo (Teatro Meiji) Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Hiroshima and Miyagi.

VITAMIN-G
My current thoughts are in the GACKT Blomaga, so those who want to read all about it, check it out. [the thrice monthly messages]
http://ch.nicovideo.jp/channel/gackt
My body age became 17. It was 15 just awhile ago...
I'm also ageing in real life...
The other day,
One of the G-LOVERS sent something interesting.
Hmm i would really know...
But honestly, i dont really like the word stoic.
Whatever it is, by using the word stoic its like being recognised as some kind of special person by the people around you.
No, i'm completely different.
There's nothing special.
Nothing special about me.
The people around me just think so without my permission.
I dont think of myself as stoic in the slightest bit.
On the other hand, i know a lot of my scruffy bits.
Because if you fall once, i believe that we can get back up again.
So to prevent my scruffy self from falling, i have to live a discipline life.
Getting there, there are many people who unfortunately fail as musicians.
There are many guys who dont admit that they've fallen.
Its especially so for sales.
There are many guys who have drowned themselves in fun, alcohol, women, and money.
I heard something like this while overseas.
"GACKT-san, did you know there's this recent hot topic in japan of a singer who got caught with drugs.?"
Noope!
That's trashy...
I don't have time to talk about other people. And for such talk, there's no need to keep bringing it up.
"Ehh~ GACKT-san, do you really not do stuff like drugs?"
I'LL MAKE YOU FLY.
To put it my way, a man who gets caught up in alcohol and drugs is second class.
To the people who go to work or, less commonly, those who have huge impacts on their fans, to get caught up in such things...
Saying it in a GACKT kind of way...
"I'm not as free as to get involved with those drugs!"
For the sake of being a GACKT with a bigger objective, i dont have time for such corruption.
Even amongst my staff, there are many guys who can't tale my strictness.
On the other hand, the guys who can take it become pros in being able to work in any given environment.
Inadvertently
All those dancers, staffs and member who came and went back them, i wonder what they're doing right now...
I really have no idea what any of them are doing now. The guys who left my crew have never contacted since leaving.
Whats that about?
No matter what the reason, if you end up leaving my crew and you're bothered to keep in contact, even if you're scraping algae wouldnt you show your face on grounds of the friendship you've built with GACKT?
Thats why i live while thinking only of the friends who are with me now.
And so, thats why I want to continue living for the G-LOVERS who follow me all me way.
Thats the way i'll live.
Of course, some will probably say thats cold but i'm not here to please everyone.
First, have confidence in GACKT and I will pour my energy into these friends and family.
The point isnt to say useless stuff like whether such a way of living is good or not.
"This is GACKT!" is what its called.
It simply comes down to this single phrase.
In a world where lots of rumours circulate, don't live an irresponsible life of being so involved in other's business.
Their business is their's.
You are you.
Isn't it more important to put effort into creating your own prosperity?
Isn't it time to graduate from a life that revolves around the nonsensical news in those weekly magazines?
It's a more interesting life going that way.
That's GACKT's guarantee.
My name is GACKT.
The motto is Mr. Vitamin-G.
You probably need some form of medication right?
I'll be your Vitamin-G.
Doesn't that feel good?
GACKT
