Gackt

fybabe and minna-chan ^^
See though.. the thing I love about Gackt is how spread his music is. Some of it is heavy, some soft, and some unique. Which is why I love his music so much ^^.
Songs I'd recommend for starting out would prob be his common ones...
Cant remember without checking what albums they're from but...
(listed them kind of as type)
Sekirei, Doomsday - bit heavier
Vanilla, Illness Illusion - unique (come on, Illness Illusion totally RULES! LOVE THE START!!)
Hoshi no Suna, December Love - beautiful
Fragrance, Tsuki No Uta -umm... somewhere inbetween i guess ^^

I have to highly recommend Hoshi no Suna and Doomsday. I love the lyrics to them both.
^^

Just while I'm here everyone...
I've been downloading heaps and heaps of Gackt movies >.<
I probably have 3gig worth now *sigh* Buttt like alot of you I bet, I'm having trouble understanding them! I know a little japanese, enough to introduce myself and find out someones age etc, and thats about it. So I'm kinda screwed when it comes to these movies ^^

I was just wondering if anyone could
A. Tell me where a place to find translations might be?
or
B. Be willing to translate.

Either way, what I'm hoping to do is sub the ones that aren't already, because I REALLY hate no knowing what they're saying ^^

And one more thing... I'm thinking of uploading most of these on BitTorrent, because the only place I've found these movies anywhere so far is J-pop suki, and lets face it, their seed rate is s**t. So I'm hoping to find a decent tracker and serve all these Gackt movies in sets. You guys think this is a good idea? >.<

Anyway!
Arigato, especially to everyone who has been uploading!
Ja ne!
Luv Lil'

Edit: Ps!
I'm chasing a copy of his autobiography... but can someone tell me if there is an english copy? ^^

cghu007 what a coincidence!
the dvd i got is 'legend moon' i think (it's in kanji :sweat: but i'm not sure if it means legend but it's something moon for sure) coz it got all the songs you listed...
it's the gackt live tour 2002

i'm rewatching it again esp those songs you outlined.

my response after 2nd hearing/watching, songs that strike me there are (actually i could be bias, coz the 'action' is also pretty persuasive :hehe: ):
speed master - geez so sexy! wonder if he actually jerked off...
Fragrance - what a sexy sounding song! and why is he licking the mic
stand with so much clothes on??
Lapis - I think it's a nice song, but i don't really like the perf... a little too exaggerated
dears - nice melody. very catchy
kimi no tameni dekiru koto - catchy and i think he's completely out of his sex high haha... well, no more crotch grabbing, etc... maybe wanna go home - last song in the con :hehe:

ok, gotta get his more recent dvds i guess. must be boring for you gackt fans coz this is like his old stuff.

is this guy like this off stage as well? i mean all this black clothing, sexyness and bisexual hints etc... is it just a 'stage persona' thing?
i find japanese fans strange, coz i only see girl fans in this con, what happened to the guys? they don't listen to rock or what?
or they don't listen to gackt just coz girls listen to them??
how odd...

EDIT
btw, lil, 3gig is nothing, i've got like about 150gigs of arashi or more i think... all i know is that i gotta burn about 1/2 dvds a week...

I'm sure that Gackt has some male fans, but they're not going to ask to see a bunch of his stuff like most girls do. Besides, you'll find most of the guys in the "General Discussion" forum or in some female actresses thread :hehe:. They're not gonna go to a guy's thread....trust me on that one :thumbsup:.

I'm even suprised at myself for coming to this thread so much. I have to find an artist extremely talented and interesting to even consider spending even a second on them. Gackt far exceeds both requirements. The fact that he has a pretty face doesn't hurt either :naughty:. But again, it takes more than a pretty face to impress me. So rock on Gackt-sama :metaldevil:. Also, seeing his old stuff isn't boring to me because before now I'd never seen it before :hehe:.

As far as the 3 gigs - 150 gigs thing...sugoi :sweat:. The only things that I have on my computer at home are a couple of Tackey and Tsubasa clips, some Gackt clips, a few Hyde clips, some Do As Infinity songs....and about a million lab reports and scholarly articles :hehe:. My dedication is quite divided and issued out between my education and my fandom as you can see :sweat:.

I don't know what he's really like off stage. The way that he acts may be completely and totally staged, but that's cool. It makes things more nteresting, ne? I think that that whole bisexual thing with Hyde and whom ever else it concerned was strictly fan service...but that's just my opinion ;).

OMG!!!!! :shocked:

Am downloading them all faster than anyone can say "DK".

Thanks sooooooo much GacktsamaChachamaru-san :victory:

Errrr....ano, wanna ask...the Illuminati clip with Malice Mizer, did it actually end abruptly? Coz the one I downloaded ended before Gackt managed to finish the song (Gackt was soooo beautiful in the interview part of that clip. Think I wanna watch him again this morning). The file size I downloaded seems okay, so I just wanna check with you before I try downloading it again.

YEAY!!! Part 1 Merveilles has been completely downloaded. Now, if only my connection is good enough to let me have the rest without any glitch today...I'll be content. But, mmmm...ain't likely gonna happen.

Yeah it was cut off, sorry I should have said so, but that is the only version I've been able to find :shamefulcry:

Hopefully you finish getting the concert soon, it's a really good performance :woot:

lilwystynyra-san...

Yeah, I completely understand what you meant coz I've been worried at myself lately for laughing at programs I don't get at all. Hmmm...strangely enuff, although I don't know 99.999999% of what's being said...I do find them funny..no fake laughter on my part. Why is that? Probably I've been watching too many Gackt clips.

Don't know who can translate the clips fully. I think your idea is a good one...it is sooooo slow down there in JPS land. I've been downloading for weeks now and it's like...no end in sight yet.

fybabe-san...

where did you get that dvd :shocked: :shocked: ? OMG!! I absolutely love the Speed Master live. I keep watching it and watching it. He he...I don't know what he's like off the stage...although I'm dying to know too. But of course it's all show. No one can keep up that kind of energy for too long. I read he often faints after his cons. My message to the guy is..."Gackt-chan, go eat more rice!!" Honestly, he's too hardworking it worries me sometime.

I wish I could find that DVD here in Malaysia...to the Malaysian Gackt fans...what say you we collaborate to find DVD cons eh? More manpower equals more covered area.

Of course guys listen to him but I wish they don't have to explain themselves all the time. The guy is talented, his voice is beautiful, his work can fill up volumes...so he's a bit on the pretty side (ok, ok...more than a bit. Actually, he's prettier than I :hehe: )...what has that got to do with anything. I don't get it. The comparison to his MM days is getting a bit tiring for me to follow.

GacktSamaChachamaru-san...
I really wish to see Merveilles...hopefully will be able to by end of this week. It's okay about the Illuminati thing...just checking. I'm just soo grateful I could see him that close during an MM interview. OMG!! He's just too beautiful...not to mention that voice. Sends shivers up my spine. No wonder MM fans were so pissed when he's not in MM anymore.

Okay, not sure how you guys/gals are going to take this offering:

Gackt - DIABLOS [Album]
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TYQK6Z38

Courtesy of a friend of mine. If you've pre-ordered it and don't wanna be tempted...just imagine those are invisible writings I just pasted there :hehe: . Enjoy!!

The new cd is awesome!! Yall should all check it out!! It's available on the internet already and HMV hasnt sent my email telling me it has been shipped...I want my copy D@mn it!! I'm impatient so I dl-ed it this morning from Tornberry torrents :hehe:

I'd help translate some of the interviews, but I have started soo many other translation projects..I should really finish those first...Which one in particular do you want translated first, so I can put it on my to-do list?

@fybabe - my fav. Gackt album has to be Moon, it's the most musically diverse, in my opinion, but like others have said, all his albums are great, it's hard to choose!

I agree with all of you, Moon is definitely his best album, but some songs of the other albums (older and newer ones) are also typical gakkun :inlove: ) fy-chan Love Letter is very good too, but it's more calm then his other cds, would recommend to listen to all the songs you can get :hehe: but since you've seen one of his lives you already know what kind of style he has...^^

lilwystynyra I always thought that Illness Illusion is a MM song :confused: have to listen to it againsome time...sorry if I'm wrong! :sweat: edit: sorry i'm wrong I checked it out now...hehr, proves that I have to listen to older songs more! *g* shame on me

belle83 thanks for worring, I got my com back today and it was just a minor prob ..*g* I'm such a drama queen sometimes...^^

OMG THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE ALBUM!!!!!!!!! :bow:

watching stupid dl bar go slow slowly....

i'm going to buy it anyway but it's always nice to have it early ^_^

edit: cghu007- help me... x_X i don't know how to use flashget. i read the manual thingy but for some reason it's not working still. x_X...

He he...I was afraid someone's gonna :beatyou: me for leaking it here.

Yeah, I didn't get Flasget to work either, for some reason, and had to ask some friends to help me out with it:

Open the MU link -> wait for the 45 sec waiting time to finish
Right click on "Click to download" box -> scroll down and choose "Download using Flashget"
A dialog box opens -> for split option, choose 1
Then ok...and wallah...flashget is downloading.

However, I find that when I queue all my files, only the first file get downloaded, the rest will all have the X sign the moment the first one was finished downloaded. Don't know why. Just test it first...line up only 2 files. If the queue doesn't work, you have to download 1 link at a time.

But MU is still soooooo slow...1-2kb/s!!!! If it's not for its limitless time option, I'd never use it.

about MU, unless your files finish downloading in a short time, better not queue up anything..it's because the 'click to download' links will change after some time..so the links you queued up with would be invalid...

*pandaidiemenyusahkanorgnakdl*

Hi everyone. I wanted to bathe in the Gackt love. :hug: Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu.

I've been a fan for sometime (since 2001 to be exact). I discovered Gackt purely by accident. An anime fansite had posted a "Gackt Special" with five songs available for download. There was this gorgeous pic of him entangled in what appeared to be wire and he was sporting his blonde "vanilla" look. His royal hotness was sizzling on my monitor. Oooh I was smitten. :love_eyes: Never looked back since.

I'm personally not a big fan of his last album "Love Letter" but love all of his other albums. Some of my personal faves:

Vanilla
Seki-Ray
Freesia Op.1
Mizerable
Saikai ~story~

:mrgreen:

So that's what's happened. I thought there's something wrong with Falshget. Oh well...

He he...I'm trying to beg someone to give me the YSI link too. Don't know when she's gonna respond to my expert begging skill. Have already listened to it :dancing: . BT turns out to be much faster than MU since there are way too many seeders last night. I zonked out infront of the PC waiting for it to finish and when I woke up this morning...wallah..there it is staring at me in the face.

Am listening to it again after this.

thank you cghu007....

waiting patiently right now.... or trying too

hopefully my boss will not be around today

heheheh

YEAY!!! I've got the YSI link to the album. Go me and my begging expertise :dancing:

Unfortunately this is a hotlink so I can't pass it around freely. Anyone who really has a problem with MU and have tried like a 10000 times to download it and not being successful, please PM me and I'll give it to.

Alternatively, YM me (cghu007) and I'll give you the torrent file. I'll seed as long as you want to.
