TOKYO-SPORTS.CO.JP: GACKT "I can focus on the changes in the flavours"
GACKT experiences「Dining in Darkness」, "I can focus on the changes in the flavours"
On the 9th, singer GACKT (42) attended the launch event for『SPECIAL.T In the Dark』which was held in Ryokusenji, at Tokyo’s Taito ward.
It was announced that「Kurayami Gohan」（in which one has a meal while deprived of sight）which is held once a month at the shrine, is having a collaboration event with Nestle Co.’s capsule style tea-only machine. While blindfolded, GACKT drinks Gyokuro green tea and Genmai cha (brown rice tea), while sampling Japanese sweets. He said with a unique tone,「Amidst the sharpened senses, the information that comes in is interesting. I can focus on how the flavours change in my mouth. At the end, I can feel thankful for being able to see with my own eyes」.
With regards to eating with his sense of sight shut out, he said「Normally I don’t do this except on『Kakudzuke』（Geinoujin Kakudzuke CHECK ＝ ABC Asahi Broadcasting’s program）』」,adding that in the wake of appearing on that program he started participating in events overseas where diners eat in the dark.
Lastly, he appealed「I thought that it would be great if this culture existed here in Japan too, so, by all means, everyone, do come and enjoy it」.
This collaboration event will be held from the 19th to the 21st at the same venue.

One shot with GACKT!
He's a really warm person!
We shook hands but he has a very strong hold, and I had the feeling to receive his strength!
It was a lil painful!
