About the「Flavour Roast Kiwami」, director Kawano explained,「Beginning with the idea of thinking about the seasons of the locality, we went after the season of the coffee beans, changed the harvesting area and used carefully selected beans. From the ingredients, the extraction, to the fire for roasting, we paid attention to all of it」.

Tamura-san commented,「The name『Kiwami (究み)』, came when we were thinking about our continuing pursuit for even better taste in future, and intentionally stuck on the name『Kiwami (極み - extremity)』. From here on too, we would like to achieve even better taste」.

When GACKT tasted the「Flavour Roast　Kiwami」, he said「It's more delicious than I expected. I think that this would be most luxurious for the Japanese who enjoy the season. For those overseas as well, because Shun Meguri Cafe will be a spot where one can enjoy the autumn foliage, so do come and make your way here」and included English comments, while talking about the charm of Kiwami and the Cafe.

Also, he presented a hanging scroll on which he wrote「Shun Meguri Cafe」, showing off his skill in calligraphy.

ORICON.CO.JP: GACKT Feels the Limitations of Cosplay

GACKT Feels the Limitations of Cosplay It's really quite a lot

On the 29th, singer GACKT attended the launch event of 『NesCafe Flavour Roast Shun Meguri Cafe』 at Tokyo's NesCafe Shinjuku. Earlier this month on the 24th, he was dressed as a "mini-skirt nurse" when performed at the『HALLOWEEN PARTY』, hosted by VAMPS, which became a hot topic but, he suggested that「It's really quite a lot」when it comes to the limitations.

In recent years, when he put on various forms of cosplay which included「AKB48」「cat ears」「school uniform」and others, comments of praise grew on the internet but, with regards to his own nurse appearance, he revealed that he was shocked, saying「I thought, for some reason my arms looked fat」, and showed fretfulness when he continued saying「Age is catching up too, I have to keep doing it for as long as the ladies' dressings will accept me」.

Also, going with the flow of one of the themes of this event,「Chase the season」, a reporter asked GACKT「Will you join the recent rush in the entertainment industry to get married?」. To which GACKT replied as he slumped his shoulders,「I have no plans at all」.
