GACKT ITALIA staff blog: April 27th 2014
Good Morning dear LOVERS,
Let's introduce a new feature, weekly this time. GACKT ITALIA staff thought it could be really wonderful to interact more with all GACKT fans and readers of this website, so we decided to post a weekly Staff blog where we face the most important moments and share with you all our point of view.
This has been a really eventful week, GACKT is very busy with the promotion of his new movie "Akumu-chan The Movie", in Japanese cinemas starting from next Saturday May the 3rd. We have translated a lot of GACKT iterviews and a lot of exciting news regarding Akumu-chan.
In these interviews, GACKT said "Akumu-Chan is a movie that both kids and adults can enjoy". Here below we post some of the interview translated by our awesome staff where GACKT also says "I love to spur people and think about the children's future".
You can also find two new official trailers for Akuu-Chan while waiting for the movie to be released next Saturday in cinemas (only Japanese ones for now). Aren't you super excited just like we are to see what's going to happen in this movie??
As for GACKT Italia news, we have a lot and super exciting ones! First of all, as you may have noticed reading this page, the site is almost fully bilingual. We realized that a lot of our readers where coming from outside Italy too, so we decided to give you all the chance to read, understand, enjoy and interact with all GACKT things related.
As you may have also seen, we have finally publish the new issue of our own FANZINE. The new May number contains a lot of official GACKT news, an article dedicated to Moon Saga 1 costumes, a very dedicated analysis of GACKT's new single, P.S. I LOVE U and an all Italian Style Chibi GACKT version.

Starting this week, we also opened a new "daily feature" to involve you more inside GACKT's wonderful world. Every day, together with the Salottino on the forum and the Keep Calm on our social, we will post what we call DAILY QUOTE or QUOTE OF THE DAY so you can all learn more about our beloved artist.

GACKT’s Fucking Stupid Stories Number 12
Bzzzz Bzzzz Bzzzz…
…Yes, anyo anyo… [Korean phone greeting]
What, you?
No, no,
I don’t hate you or anything.
You just call me all the damn time.
And everyone’s always blabbing about the same stuff
so I’m getting fed up with it…
Huh?
What?
"You can do ikebana too!" [ikebana= Japanese flower arranging]
Even, you’re going to say that…
I’m going to say it frankly…
I’ve hardly ever done ikebana.
And I don’t like real flowers that much.
I’m not good with them…
It’s just that, on that show,
I manged to skilfully express my own image.
Really, give me a break.
At first,
when I saw all those flowers,
I was thinking,
"Seriously…?"
To think I’d be arranging flowers for the first time at this age…
I’m really not good with them.
Mostly…
You know, right?
I hate getting my hands dirty!
Even with foods,
there’s nothing I can’t eat.
But, you know, right?
I have a lot of things I WON’T eat.
That’s right.
It’s like I’m always saying to you,
I hate food that gets all over my hands.
Huh?
No.
What are you saying?
It’s not about the taste.
I just don’t like getting my hands dirty.
I like the taste of mandarins.
But I really hate how my fingernails feel
after I stick them into the mandarin.
No matter how much you wash your hands,
the yellowish color from the mandarin
stays on your fingernails, right?
That’s what I hate.
There are lots of other examples.
I don’t eat fruit much
because most of them you have to peel yourself…
Huh?
Am I a child?
Shut up!
I know that.
I just really hate it.
So why don’t you peel the fruit for me?
I never said that I won’t eat it.
You’ve never told me to say “ah”, right? [As in, “say ‘ah’ and open your mouth so I can feed you”]
Stop it, it’s weird.
You wouldn’t like it if I did it, right?
Give me a break.
Huh?
You want to do it?
Don’t ever say that again.
I really hate having that done to me…
Is there anything else I hate?
I’m not saying they’re things I hate.
Just things I won’t eat.
Don’t misunderstand me.
Things I won’t eat are…
for example…
crab and large shrimp…
Isn’t it weird though?
It’s a food you have to crack open with your hands to eat!
No, no,
I’m saying I really hate it…
Rather than whether it tastes good or not,
I can’t understand working with that grimy feeling all over your hands
in order to eat it…
And when you pick crab out of the shell,
it looks like the bits your eraser leaves behind on the page!
A long time ago before a tour,
my manager looked at me not eating crab, and said,
"Since you won’t shell the crab yourself,
I’ll do it for you,
so eat it all up!”
What he placed in front of me looked like eraser scraps
no matter how I looked at it.
Since then,
I haven’t eaten crab at all.
Hey, hey…
You laugh too much.
Look at it from my point of view.
Even elementary school bullies don’t make their victims eat eraser shavings!
Really, give me a break.
Honestly,
the only seafood I’ll eat even if it gets my hands dirty
is clam, maybe?
Even then, I don’t want to get my hands dirty if I can help it.
I like to eat them with chopsticks…
But sometimes I screw up and it slips out of my chopsticks,
and the juice goes on my t-shirt
and it ruins my entire day,
you know?
"Nooooooooooooooo!!!!"
