“O〜〜〜n the ro〜ad
Da〜re mo tabi〜 no to〜chuu〜〜･･･♪♫“(Journey through the Decade)

Beep...
... Hello...

Oh~, it's you. It's been awhile...
Hm??? What's up??

Eh?
“Are you in Japan, again?”
... you ask...

Aren't you sharp...
I'm now headed to Jakarta.

I'll be back...
How are you?

Eh?
“I watched Music Station
and got energised from it!!!”
... you say...

Is that so.
Thanks. That day was hectic.
That being said,
my stay in Japan this time
I was way to busy to the point of laughter...
Wait a moment.
'Cuz I'm entering the lounge now...

Fu〜〜〜 to.
Well,
that week was really,
on heck of a schedule.

Eh?
“Your stay this time
was that busy??”
... you ask...

Well...
When I say busy,
it's more like my schedule was so full
that I didn't get a chance to stay still at all.

I have to do all sorts of things too right?
Besides work,
there's lots too right??

Ah, come to think of it,
I went for a dental treatment.
I thought『I hear a voice I know next door...』
and when I peeked in,
it was SUGIZO!

Ahahaha.
Things like this happen too I guess.

When I asked him

『It's been awhile, how're you???』

he replied

『What on earth are you doing in such a place!!!』

Ahahaha.
I said, Well for dental of course!!

The image of the two of use next to each other getting our dental treatments
is so weird.
Then,
we parted ways saying
"Let's meet again at Music Station!!"

Eh?
“Do such coincidences really happen??”
... you ask...

Tokyo is a small area y'know.
If I'm having tea at the hotel
I can even meet soccer player Kazu-san and his wife,
incidentally,
Down Town's Matsumoto-san
will be drinking next to me too,
even at the the soba shop
Tamori-san will be having soba there,
if I'm having Yakiniku,
Ayu enters the same time as me
and we'll start drinking lots together halfway through.

Of course,
I believe everyone's busy with work but,
they'll definitely have to eat right?
For anyone,
they have to get stuff done
by putting together those gaps right?

In that, when you're looking weird,
you'll naturally get seen.

Eh?
“What do you mean by 'looking weird'?”
... you ask... ...

Um... that's hard to say.
For example right,
while you're having a meal now
your friends go and say let's wear masks this time
and go eat Tempura!

That is what starts it.

Well, because we're looking like this
people will definitely think that we're really weird guys but,
because your friends sitting around you are all doing the same thing.
It's exceptionally fun.

Ahahaha.
Absurd right?

But, this is exceptionally fun.
While troubling over
"what kind of mask should everyone wear??",
you'll try on lots of different ones.

Since we're going to eat Tempura like that.
Of course its funny.

Then,
I'll be found in such a place.
By someone.
When that happens,

『GACKT, what are you doing??』

that's what they'll say right?
But, stimulus like these are good.

As you know,
for me,
no matter how busy I get
I'll definitely find time for training and martial arts,
and I'll definitely have a proper eating time.

I hate it.
Using the excuse that you're busy
to irresponsibly eat,
and say that you can't exercise.

I absolutely hate it.
Finish the meal appropriately too,
guys like that too.

That's why,
properly take time to go eat together
with the senpais who are taking care of you,
you'll get to learn various things from them.

That amount of time,
is really precious to me
that again makes me recognise
that there are various things that are lacking.

I have to study more... I guess.

The busier you are,
the more you should find time to have meals with your friends and senpais.
At those times,
you may even get to have new meetings.

Ah, that's right.
This time, by chance,
at the time when I was in Japan,
Jang Keun-suk and No Min-woo from Korea have come over to play
and we all went out drinking and all.
Mixed martial artist Akiyama-kun and a few others also joined in.

Eh?
“Even though you were so busy
everyone's timings came together!!”
... you say...

Strange isn't it?
This came together.
Even though we're all busy.

『Well then,
shall we all go eat together at night!』

and everyone jumped in together,
all of us had drinking competitions into the night
and all that jazz.

So, we found time
to make appearances at some of our kouhai's lives for a bit.

This time, because the band SADIE is splitting up,
I thought I should so visit them for a bit,
and I went to peek in.

On that day too,
Keun-suk and the others said they really wanted to go watch so
we all went to watch together.

They were excitedly saying
Japanese rock is cool!!!

Because it's not a culture of K-POP I guess...
Well,
If this kind of rock disappears from Japan
Japan won't have any more music of their own
to be proud of.

Eh?
“Was it hectic until morning??”
... you ask...

I went out with them as long as I could.
Then, I'll definitely find time for training,
also, I did training from morning too.

When it comes to training, no matter how busy I am
I'll definitely not take a break fro that.
Besides, various friends of mine come visit the gym.

Eh?
“Does that mean that they go to GACKT-san's gym?”
... you ask...

That's right.
while I'm in Japan,
everyone comes to train together.

Because I teach.
Like how to shrink the body,
how to maintain and such.
Also how to train with effective exercises and such.

Everyone calls it
『Gaku Zap!』
though.

To the point where
recently I'm really thinking
if I should start a gym too...

If I do that,
although I'll be able to share with everyone
the experience and knowledge I have...
everyone will come pushing.

Come to think of it,
last week Hyde came by.

Eh?
“HYDE-san came over too!!?”
... you say...

Everyone does it together.
Because we happened to have time,
it's like "let's do it now〜〜" and everyone jumps in together.

Eh?
“Everyone gathers with such a casual gesture?”
... you ask...

When it comes to training,
you don't really need a strong reason to do it right?

Today, if there's a bit of time
I'll do it now〜〜!! Just that's enough.

Inline image 20

That's how everyone gathers.
That's how it is.

So,
everyone does their training
then split up after that with
"See ya~~!!"

It's that kind of era.
Those who are aware are maintaining their youth more and more,
those who aren't aware enough are growing older and older.

To me,

questions like『GACKT, why do you train??』

or,

『What do you want to become?』

isn't it the worst
that in this world
there are those who have to comment about things like that?
Ahahaha.

To me,
there are too many idiots out there
who only touch their keyboards
and don't even do any basic training.

It's like, as a man
at least do the minimum of what you need to do!
Training your body,
and maintaining yourself,
as a man,
as a woman,
as an adult, it goes without saying that it's what you have to do.

In the past,
it used to be said that the group of guys
who go the training gyms are body builders but
right now,
instead, it is those who don't go to the gym
are living like animals that don't really use their muscles right?

To proudly and unabashedly say

『Everyday, on my way to work I climb the stairs at the station!』

there are those who have the gall
to say things like that.
Isn't just asking to be said,『Are you an old man!!』?

Because they seriously think that that is considered as exercise.

Guys like that,
should hurry up and get sick
so that they can understand the importance of what health is.
No matter how much money you have
you can't bring it to the next world.

Unless one can quickly understand
the fact that his own intemperance will lead to all diseases,
one will never know
just how gorgeous his own life is.

Then, why you get sick,
you'll become a burden to the precious people around you too.
Isn't this an era where even if you earnestly train
you'll still contract various diseases?

Without doing a single thing to strengthen your body,
what do you do after you get sick??
You exercise and live your life to the fullest,
but even then isn't that really rude
to those who have fallen ill?

... Eh???
”Does GACKT-san's
body size and weight always stay the same?”
... you ask...

It changes.
No, it can change.
To the body size that I need at that point of time.

If I were to film a drama or something,
and I think that the character will look better with a bigger size,
I'll increase my body size.

It changes depending on the theme.

Just recently, there was the Kenshin Festival at Niigata right?
This time I shrunk my body a lot
because I thought of acting as Uesugi Kenshin,
from a physique that was around 74Kg
I shrunk it to 67Kg.

Eh?
“If you're shrinking that much,
doesn't that mean that your body fat percentage fell a lot!”
... you say...

No, it's the other way around.
When my body size drops,
my muscles will also drop together so
my body fat percentage will instead go up.

At that time,
I was even wondering what to do
if it goes above 10%...

These 20 years, without change,
I've always kept it at around 8〜9%.
Well, because I'm at it everyday...
You can't help but say that it should naturally be like that.

Anyway I'm【GACKT】right?

If I can't even do that.

Besides, I made a promise with Father too.
I'll do my best for awhile more!, something like that.

... Eh??
”Did you go this year too?”
... you ask...

I go... every year.
I'll definitely go to report to him all that happened until I visit.
Then, I'll leave and say goodbye with
"From here I'll do by best again!".

That was
the day before Music Station
I think...

I always say goodbye by saying
"I'll do by best without wavering!"

Right,
that's why at Music Station
it felt good right?
I got to meet a number of friends too.

Because this time it was hectic,
it looked like everyone was having it tough but,
I managed to meet Koo-san for a bit too.
Later, I also met YOSHIKI for the first time in awhile.

It's really been such a long while that
we ended up laughing though.

Recently, because music programs are decreasing,
I think there may be those who think
that music itself is become weaker.

That's wrong.
There's no world without music.

If we don't deliver power
who else will give people power?

What's important is,
Ki Ai and passion and aspirations and the strong will to stick to them.
As a Japanese musician, that as well,
is something that has to be delivered to the world.

That's why,
we challenge various things one the world stage like this.
There will be lots of diffiiculties.
There are also rotten people who say "that stuff's impossible!"

Well, watch me.
'Cuz I'll do it.

Alright, well then it's about time to head off.
I'l going to Jakarta.

Until next time,
I'll tell you about my vacation story in Jakarta.
