[@MacRyanMac]

[@kinkin1398]

MacRyanMac Pls try to react Dragon Force thank you their my fav. Band pls ryan

[@Jojo-17Argentina]

Please react more Larc en ciel songs like butterfly sleep

[@cocolow4able]

MacRyanMac React to son tung mtp- lac troi. I'm sure you will like it if you like old and new sounds together

[@WookieSenshi]

Gackt probably has one of the best clean singing voices in the world in my opinion.

[@syntheticvocalist-p472]

he's also the voice provider of the vocaloid Gakupo

[@banditwoman77]

I have been waiting for you to react to Gackt for a long time, I have never clicked on a video soo fast! Gackt is indeed a very talented an amazing person, he's an excellent actor who has been in a Hollywood movie called bunraku. I would definitely encourage you to look at more of his music and some of his acting roles. Also I laughed a bit when you said he was a vampire because he use to tell everyone he was one and that he's over 200 years old lol, explains alot!

[@MacRyanMac]

I can believe that he is a vampire! and I gotta check out his movies!

[@mikamo6666]

Rachel Burnett one more film with Gackt is Moon chaild. About vampires, and Hyde from L'arc en ciel/VAMPS acted on this film.

[@BuddhaBless328]

Fun fact!. Returner is sung from the perspective of a samurai's wife waiting for him to come home from battle, but as you can see he doesn't quite make it lol.

[@deliriumzer0]

It's so weird watching you react to Gackt! He was so legendary when I was in high school... if you were into Japanese music at all between 1999 and 2005, he was always one of your first, like, 5 artists. :D I have a ton of positive nostalgia about Gackt. ^_^

[@gillb6366]

Just remembered: You need to look up the lyrics to Vanilla... My God, it's a filthy song. They add a woman whining "iku" before the last chorus during some of the live shows.

[@mysticlilium]

Or at least watch a live for it .. vanilla lives are crazy in a way 😂

[@ninchan3]

Mystic Lilium YES!!!

[@pershawww]

Gillian B it's on a recorded version. Not the single version but the 6th day album version

[@heidimatsumoto9657]

something like "i'm coming"...... lol

[@isakigoboom]

Doodle Fox 'iku/ikura', verb meaning 'coming' in both the sexual and non-sexual way.

[@lourdesgurgitano9483]

GACKT HAS A VERY POWERFUL VOICE

[@Mureirsa]

MY FAVORITE

[@andreas.6111]

Vanilla is like, 18 Years old but is still so goooooooooooood. Thanks , for the reaction!

[@MacRyanMac]

DAMN! I didn't realize it was that old! :p

[@alexspat7248]

speaking of old mizerable is also damn old... you can see in the song the connection to malice mizer

[@orchidsmithy2307]

Anye S. And when I first saw it l just thought it was cloud from final Fantasy

[@andreas.6111]

黒闇 so true! That Song has a mix of Gackt and Malice Mizer. Also, Last Song from that time too is lovely

[@andreas.6111]

Orchid Smithy lol, maybe because he inspired a couple of game characters, but the only one I'm sure about is the main character of Castelvania

[@adrianright514]

Gackt actually did a movie with Hyde from L'Arc en Ciel

[@Mureirsa]

thanks

[@myHeartDrawsADream_]

Yes it's called "moonchild"

[@ChristineExplores]

I just ordered that movie on Amazon! Can’t wait to get it!

[@RY903]

They're actually close friends. Maybe that's why they're both never aged lol

[@NamiMakimono]

That movie, Moonchild, made me bawl my eyes out.

[@RawwrBunny]

If you've play any of the final fantasy games his Redemption song is the theme for Dirge of Cerberus

[@Hellion421]

Castiel discovered Kpop yeees ❤️

[@xaonrider92]

In fact, one of the characters in Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core is based on him. He's wearing that character's costume in the Redemption video.

[@doorknobofakender]

as a double fact, the secret ending of Crisis Core is motioned filmed using him live so that whole part where G picks up the body and looks at the camera is Gackt.

[@mrstrdknmabalz1412]

well, he wears Genesis' outfit

[@sonyabelmontfarenheght1189]

Redemption is Hell of a song,I love it so much,I am literally addicted to this song.

[@rachelraza5786]

You should watch the movie Moonchild. It has Gackt and Hyde from L’arc en Ciel in it. They are vampires... it’s good stuff

[@MIWCreature666]

His voice sounds so clean and nice because he's actually classically trained ^^ Same with all of his music playing abilities. As for that mic stand in Redemption. Yes, he did actually use that. He used it for that song in his Diablos tour. It's worth a look~ And if you want to see some of his acting, one of his best movies is called Bunraku. It's an incredible movie! I'm glad you enjoyed it!! ^^

[@hedwigtheowl8682]

I'm enjoying moonchild very much

[@XenaWarrior24]

If I'm not mistaken Gackt did play a vampire in a movie called Moon Child.

[@zinniaeridano7782]

Yes it is Gackt, also "Gakuto". Yes, Gackt started with the wagakki parts in jrock, yes, I was reading that in a Japanese Magazine the other day. He is also a designer and a voice actor. He plays Japanese traditional instruments too, and speaks English, French, Corean and Chinese also. You should check him on Bunraku, the movie. He is going to do a World Tour this and next year.

[@zinniaeridano7782]

Vanilla is actually older than Redemption...

[@zinniaeridano7782]

And he has songs in ALL genre~ Rock, pop, symphonic, goth... By the way you should check Fragance, kimi ga matte iru kara (unplugged)

[@マウアーアンナレーナ]

Zinnia Eridano World tour? whAT?

[@zinniaeridano7782]

He announced he was planning a WT. He hasn't announced final dates or countries but he said he was doing it this or next year.

[@マウアーアンナレーナ]

Zinnia Eridano Ohh why didn't I know? Sound good.. thanks for telling haha

[@tceechia]

I truly believe you can do another reaction video with some of Gackt's live performances. It's on a whole different level!!

[@_TIM1031]

Gackt was also in the movie "Bunraku" which is an American film (I believe), but it's not a Japanese movie! He plays a samurai in it! It's a great movie!

[@aster4025]

Man, Gackt brings back memories, lol. If you like the combination of traditional Japanese music with j-rock etc. you'll love Kagrra,. They've already disbanded, but they did something called Neo-Japanesque, which is exactly that, the mixture of traditional with new. Their songs are just beautiful. Uzu, Sakura Zukiyo and Shiroi Uso are some of their best.

[@1obsessionafteranother794]

Got so excited to get notified that you reacted to Gackt, hope you check out more of his stuff.

[@veebeewai]

I know this video is old but I keep coming across your reaction videos (MIYAVI most recently) but your reactions are so cute, as in a child seeing something new for the first time and it’s opening up a new world for them. Lol It’s giving me nostalgia of when I first heard of “Gahkto”-san back in ‘03. He was such an enigma back then that one of his (non existent) profiles stated he was 300 years old and I was absolutely convinced he was, like a vampire. He really hasn’t aged since I first heard of him. Only thing that makes me eh about him is that he was my ex’s favorite singer but...eh. I forgot how operatic his voice is. I’d recommend more groups/singers but you seemed to have covered a lot already. Didn’t see FEMM (far east mention mannequins) but I’m sure you came across them in the last few years.

[@angelS2hatobr]

Finally!!! Gackt is viewed as a GOD in the Entertainment industry here in Japan. I'm very glad that you reacted to his music. GACKTO-SAN IS GOD!!!!

[@yuukonen]

Woah It's Gackt! Finally I'm still waiting for D/the Gallo/Arlequin ☺️

[@yuukonen]

Asagi from D has also some amazing vocal

[@NurSieAlle]

I am waiting for D too, because I know he'll like it ToT ♥

[@iamtheblackwizards1108]

YES! do it Ryan ! you will probably really like all three bands, they are awesome :) the longer you put it off the longer you are missing out on awesome music and the longer we have to wait XD

[@yuukonen]

I just really wanna see how will he react to Asagi x Audience while Eden (live) 🙏🏻😍

[@Satikas98]

I like to see his face whe he watch The Gallo- Yami uta video XD

[@stephenwyatt88]

Gackt is one of those singers either you get him or you don't. Admittedly I had trouble appreciating his music for a long time, but nowadays I enjoy it quite a bit.

[@bunnyday1473]

Just watching this sent me down a youtube rabbit hole of all the old songs I used to love listening to on a burned cd lol. Definitely look up the songs Oasis and Secret Garden! I love both of them, they are some of his more classic early songs. Also Mizerable was his first solo single, where he very much looks like a vampire in the video haha :)

[@ChristineExplores]

Thanks for reacting so positively to Gackt! I’ve been a fan of his for nearly 20 years! I had a Japanese pen-pal that introduced me to his music back then! He’s amazing!

[@cheezarose]

Please react to D (Japanese band) and T.M.Revolution :)

[@kristalhinricks6176]

Cheeza Ryuurei yes!!!!!!

[@WanFlame]

Aaah I would love if he react to T.M. Revolution side proyect Abingdon Boys School and their cover of Dress (live version) ;) I know that video is like 10 years old but it's still available on youtube and that live ws so good!

[@NurSieAlle]

OH D would be really nice TwT

[@iamtheblackwizards1108]

YES! please react to D - namonaki mori no yumegatari and Eden (live)

[@yuukonen]

Cheeza Ryuurei Eden Live from 2 years ago And Loiseau Bleu!

[@SessmaruKusanagiGaming]

He does still use that stand when he plays Redemption, Ghost, and his earlier songs. (:

[@d.b.3551]

I love Gackt for about 17 years now. Thank you sooooo much for this video! Your reaction was so wonferful. Greetings from Germany!

[@TheGACKTfan]

+MacRyanMac you are awesome! This is coming from a US GACKT fan much love.

[@lynnahara]

MacRyanMac, regarding your question about if he plays those instruments during recording, the answer is it depends on the need on the recording itself, there are songs where he needs to play the guitar, like for example, one of his guitarist is also his violinist, so IF needed, he plays the guitars on recording while his guitarist plays the violin (same song). though for the piano part, all of them are played by him, because piano is Gaku's major 🤗

[@Ak1za1]

I'm probably the only person who's going to request this but, can you react to the now disbanded "KAGRRA,"? songs that I suggest are: "Utakata" "Uzu(渦)" "Tsuki ni Murakumo Hana ni Ame" If you do, I want to look at it as a tribute to the vocalist of the group. His birthday is on Dec. 7th, unfortunately he passed away. So if you happen to make a video for Kagrra, I can't wait to see it, and I feel like it will bring back nostalgic memories for some of us Visual Kei fans. :) I just found you today and I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS.

[@aster4025]

He totally has to listen to them! He seems to have liked the j-rock/traditional combo, he's gonna love Kagrra,

[@Ak1za1]

sillystar yaaaa~~~ :D I think it will be great! The memories for us VK fans will come flooding back and he'll discover another band in the process ~

[@TraciaKurosawa]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@Ak1za1]

Aiya Gertland 😭, let's hope we'll get something on Isshi's birthday :P

[@Yaavie]

A reaction I would love to see as well!

[@pattrocks]

Vanilla is soooo soo old song, but its amazing.

[@rjcloutier]

Haven't heard of Gackt before but I like it! You should react to Hello Sleepwalkers and/or [Alexandros] 👍🏻

[@ickyickyptang9433]

Ryan Cloutier Hello Sleepwalkers YES!!! ❤

[@rjcloutier]

IckyIcky Ptang Their album Planless Perfection is my fav haha love them

[@riyandidarmawanputra6373]

I still remember when I heard "Returner" for the first time, and I had no idea who's Gackt at that time. I realized that I rolling into the right song and right musician! His voice is amazing! And make sure you take a look at a movie called "Moon Child" ( en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Child_(2003_film) ) where he played a role with Hyde from L'Arc~en~Ciel !

[@MacRyanMac]

Sweet I'll check it out!

[@makotow8967]

Vanilla ...my first japanese pervy lyrics song i have ever heard

[@crucifixmegabuster95]

Why has no one told him of d'espairs ray?

[@mirohaverinen2077]

D'erspairs ray is a must!!!!

[@MarithePlata]

megaman exe YES PLEASE!

[@Vanyar.S]

megaman exe ikr?? They're definitely a must!

[@easternacoreduzterkeit479]

D'espairsray is very decent n unique band! they blend industrial n gothic into something we can dance n moshing happily together, even they have disbanded about 7 years ago, i still listening to them often

[@neelia.g]

I think he'd love D'espairs Ray!

[@SugizoSamaLuna]

Gackt is a very gifted artist. He's fucking amazing and can does many things on music and acting. His live concerts are amazing with great theatrical performances! He also acting in the movie bunraku with demi moore!

[@jessicajohnson2412]

Gackt are so so so amazing seriously! He’s so good I am crying, he’s music is out of this world in my opinion so damn good, I am mad at myself for not being a fan of him much earlier

[@RaveN-bh1qe]

Ryan i simply love it when you suddenly turn into an Owl ^^ Ohh and Btw since you love the fuse of Modern with Traditional you should definitely check out D (Ouka Saki Some ni Keri, Huang Di (皇帝～闇に生まれた報い～ ), Namonaki Mori no Yumegatari, Der König der Dunkelheit ) Love Them and i am sure you will like them also .

[@iamtheblackwizards1108]

all fantastic songs ! btw nice Jimin pic :)

[@GacktItalia]

Thank you for sharing this! We are the biggest overseas community about GACKT and we really enjoyed watching it and if you ever want to know something more just let us know :D And YES he uses the Mic stand still and he has a new one very similar! He's preparing a World Tour now!

[@MicukoFelton]

Thank you for reacting to Gackt.

[@ttaki1243]

please listen and react to GACKT's romantic songs, like white lover, love letter, last song and flower. These are totally different from the songs you reacted. Enjoy it (:

[@Mureirsa]

white lover remix is great

[@xiaolung27]

I haven't even gotten thru the whole video yet and I'm already just as stoked as you, I haven't listened to Gackt it some time so it's a bit nostalgic.. he's really talented. Also I feel your pain on the iTunes front... I'm still sad Doll$boxx isn't on US iTunes.. **ugly sobbing** oh and I absolutely concur on the traditional w/ rock mixture, it's awesome.

[@TheKirricibo]

Now time to react Vocaloids

[@dulcewitvrun1422]

Now you are in love of GACKT! I remember just could watch him, for some reason didn't like his voice but a friend of mine showed me a live and was like OMFG! There are some lives in KZbin and must watch them!!!!

[@TheDevilsOrchard]

Nice to see Gackt finally get covered, Japanese Rock essential. Since they released a new album recently, this is the perfect chance to recommend Sukekiyo. Their songs En, Hidauta and elizabeth addict live would be the perfect choices.

[@catk8447]

Finally!! You don't know how long I waited for this video

[@amiiboguy5357]

React to Journey Through The Decade and ANOTHER WORLD - BOB - they also songs from Gackt

[@tetsukopc2595]

For the Samurai - Returner is a song for a TV-drama called Fūrin Kazan - where he played a samurai. And I had to smile when you said he's n Vampire, as he played together with hyde (leadsinger of L'Arc~en~Ciel) in a Vampire movie called Moonchild. And for some great sining of Gackt and traditional music please check out "Shima Uta" sung by Gackt.

[@TumiYukii]

i LOVE HIM. React to Ayumi Hamasaki please!! they're good friends! i recommend the song "game" and "about you" from her, they're rock. also "humming 7/4"

[@neyneyt8325]

Tumi Yukii yessss queen Ayumi but I think he should react to some older songs such as "Dearest" since its a well known song and "Talkin' 2 Myself" because it is rock-ish . Regardless Ayumi is amazing .

[@cherylsigah7897]

Tumi Yukii react to her live performances!! Especially Memorial address, surreal and a song for xx

[@franh1488]

Nice video! Gackt is great! Pleaaase react to SID or Uverworld! And please listen to other songs from Miyavi... Some of his older songs... They are better! Greetings from Chile!

[@MacRyanMac]

THank you! and hello Chile ! :p

[@franh1488]

MacRyanMac 😄 Ah! From SID react to V.I.P and Uso and from Uverworld react to D-technolife and colors of the heart! I would love u till the end of the world if you do! Pleaaase

[@なにものちゃねる]

React to UVERworld please!

[@amykannedy6578]

Yes Sid please

[@Rx79100]

SID シド Please !!!!! You are going to "love" them . Their melody is so "versatile" off this world. - Natsukoi (夏恋 )( 10th Anniversary Live at Yokohama ) - Main dish this is an epic performance ! - Monochrome no kiss ( Live SIDNAD Vol.6 ) as a starter - Uso ( You will know this song ) - Alibi (アリバイ ) ( If you like Jazz-fusion) - Enamel ( One their strongest song in this modern day )

[@GoddessAstrola]

Gackt writes and composes nearly all of his songs; if memory serves there are only 3 songs in his entire catalog he didn't write himself. As far as playing on the tracks he does play some but his band plays on the tracks for the studio recordings. And the wiki page you were looking at is in need of update because he recently released his 48th single "Original Sin". Which was used as the opening theme to the first 12 episode,s and the closing for the last 12 episodes of the anime Trickster. He also provided the voice for the main villain of that series by the way. I recommend checking his IMDB page if you want to checkout any of his acting roles.

[@MacRyanMac]

That is crazy impressive!

[@gillb6366]

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy. Gackt's one of my favourites.

[@fallenfrmgrace06]

Redemption is from the soundtrack to Final Fantasy VII Dirge of Cerberus. Gackt was the inspiration for the character Genesis from that game and Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core.

[@EbbnFlow_Design]

Im so happy that youve reminded me of all my middleschool music obsessions! I came here because of your BTS reactions and now im just going down memory lane with all the visual Kei XD

[@alexspat7248]

love gackt! he is living in japan like an aristocrat... he is damn wealthy and for sure one of the person of the planet i respect the most! his voice is so unique and flexible he is able to sing every genre.. if you compare it for example with hamasaki ayumi her live voice and the record one are totaly diffrent! and gackts totaly not! his acting performances are also damn good but at the most part he plays the bad guys...he does training every day for hours! as he is damn photogenic so he used also to be "the most beatiful face in japan" he also likes japanese comedy and also can joke within variety shows ! there is no second person like him for sure! he is also fluent in korean, chinese, french, english, spanish! with a alot of effort he is doing he is used to be an icon or an exmple of being an"perfect human"

[@alexspat7248]

kind of not so fluent

[@pupadesign]

I can imagine him drinking in his living room in a penhouse then he just up and walk to his valcony and has a full view of ginza.

[@StormGhost69]

the singer kamijo from versailles used to be Gackts roadie back in the malice mizer days

[@MacRyanMac]

That's crazy!

[@visualkeikatt6934]

Thanks for the upload, feels special this was a day after my birthday

[@MacRyanMac]

Happy Birthday!

[@musicproductiongranturismo7793]

On top of the music videos, I watched concerts from him and saw him piano and kicking ass playing every instrument of a band. I also saw him playing some shamisen. Apparently he plays more music instruments. The music video "Redemption" made me an instant Gackt fan. The second music video I saw from him was Returner. Apparently "Returner" has been beating records in Japan music history. When I first saw one of his concerts, the crowd kept yelling his name before he got on stage. Then it was that he is very famous in Japan. Gackt is crazy talented and has a lot of discipline. He is very serious about intense regular physical training and staying flexible (splits and stuff...). He often appears on Japanese TV shows and always wins their games. On KZbin you can find some TV shows he appeared on and even if you don't understand Japanese, you will have an idea of the physical stuff he's up to. It really shows how fit and flexible he is. He got has a 2nd degree black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do (a Korean martial art that is somewhat similar to one of the karate styles (kyokushan, etc...)). This is Gackt!

[@juanavargas7562]

I still remember when I saw returner for the first time, I actually felt like crying at the end. I love all his music from the very first one I heard when I was 14 (I feel somewhat old since I'm turning 25 in a few days). Yes. His voice is nice, very nice. I'm kind of happy to see you reacting to Gackt, and have such positive things to say!! And that you like his music. Vanilla has such a good beat, but the lyrics are pretty shocking.

[@joheyjonsson2825]

He has a full band as back-up. You need to check his live videos to see them clearly, but the entire band is in videos like Redemption and Black Stone. I personally love the guitarist Chachamaru and the violinist Yuu. There's also a clip of Gackt and Yuu playing a violin duet.

[@lazylight007]

His hair in Vanilla . . . Super Saiyan Gackt.

[@kanashi13]

Yes! Finally! And yes!! He was the first one to experiment with traditional instruments and rock, also he is still using that mic stand and Vanilla is way older hahaha You should see his lives videos, some songs when he plays instruments live are Sayonara, Mirror and he plays the Shamisen (like a japanese banjo) in the intro of the live version of OASIS. Check it out ~

[@MacRyanMac]

I wanna see him live now!

[@something7609]

kanashi13 vanilla is in 90s lol It has a lewd lyrics tho

[@ickyickyptang9433]

That face you made when the music kicked in on Returner. Priceless.

[@KPopHeaux]

FINALLY! Woo! MOAR JROCK! Flumpool, Luck Life, Kishidan, Beat Crusaders, Aqua Timez, NICO Touches the Walls, DOES, Acid Black Cherry...PLEASE, please, pretty please!!!

[@Xia-hu]

I wrote some of that article on wikipedia :D so interesting to see someone actually reading it.

[@virginiaashby8218]

If you loved his MVs you have to see his lives, he is truly a great showman, like his Diabolos Concert.

[@jonesiawilliams2194]

Haha yes His voice is as smooth as velvet!! Now listen to LUST FOR BLOOD! my very first song i heard by him on the radio. And I thought it was a wise old man voice and his pretty face confused when I tired to find him.

[@jbangelofdeath]

Gackt acted as Uesugi Kenshin (one of the major players in Japanese Middle Ages) in a TV series called "Furin Kazan", that video is from aruond that time.

[@bakachan3601]

One of Gakts songs was used in the old Square Enix game Final Fantasy VII Dirge of Cerberus on the play station 2.

[@MikomiJadeSkywalker]

thank you so much for that reaction)))))) loved it

[@NNValo666]

I don't know if ill get a reply or if someone else already posted this but there's some fun facts! The Vanilla video as someone else said the video is about 18 years old. (It will turn 18 on 8/11/17 actually lol) But if you're a fan of Final Fantasy (Specifically FFVII), it is known his hair was styled like Clouds, since he is a huge fan of the series! In Redemption (which was also a song for the Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core game for PSP) the outfit he is wearing was actually the outfit worn by Genesis from the game (The Character who was actually modeled off Gackt!) You can actually find photos of it online ^^ Again I don't know if anyone else had mentioned this but, yeah! :D

[@onesonglory33]

if you like the combination of traditional Japanese music and newer sounds you should look into Kagrra and Sid. Both have a good mix.

[@RedAle-qo7ms]

Ryan!!!! React to SID, please! Especially these songs: - Rain (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood's opening) - Otegami - Enamel (Kuroshitsuji's opening) The vocalist has such an incredible voice, please listen to them!!!

[@sayanghosh9509]

yes yes

[@allisoncrooks891]

4 years later I stumble upon this after your SSTP and Gackt's GHOST and I have to laugh the image in the thumbnail on this is from GHOST

[@miri236]

Gackt's voice is my favourite out of all the singers I know~ And his live performances are amazing too! If you want to react to more of his songs, I recommend "P.S. I Love You" and "Arrow". "Kimi Ga Matte Iru Kara" is also really good, you might want to check out the unplugged version with English subtitles. :)

[@itskawaiitrash986]

Yes! Gackt is great, and if you ever decide to do a continuation of this video (because with Gackt, there is so much going on lol) I would suggest: Solo Music videos: Ghost, Hakuro, and Setsugekka are my favourites, alongside Mizerable, White Lovers and Episode.0. You might also be interested to know that aside from Malice Mizer, he also participated in/created a band called YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz, for which I would recommend you definitely at least check out their song "The End of the Day." Lastly, Gackt (Gakuto Kamui) actually is the 'voice template' for his very own Vocaloid, known as Gakupo Kamui (Lmao) You weren't lying when you said that he does everything, it would take a few videos to cover even half of what he has done since his debut!

[@マウアーアンナレーナ]

PLEASE REACT TO "THE GALLO" they are great! Sadly they are not really known.. I recomment the songs: Yami uta Belphegor Incubus Beilal Edit: in japanese they're written ギャロ (gyaro) in case u need to know lol

[@mirzarm429]

How did I find this reaction after 3 years?! Wtf YT thiiiis is what I need you to recommend to me!! Btw Vanilla does force your body to move on its on, there’s no way to resist 😂

[@Shourikan]

Ryan be like "how are you 43 sir??" And I'm like "Well he's made of plastic" lmfao

[@PsychoReapers]

Finally, wait for this for a long time

[@zephyr0th20]

DUDE GACKT MADE AN OPENING OF ONE OF THE BEST KAMEN RIDER SERIES THAT WAS MADE IN HISTORY I M GLAD U REVIEWED HIM!!

[@jpotion9860]

The band which gackt was a member of a long time ago called malice mizer is pronounced malice "mee-ser"! the origin of the word comes from miserable (i would assume french or german...but in english its pronounced quite similar)

[@decimalowen9206]

Yes! You actually reacted to the top three I would have recommended first for Gackt! Also, I have to recommend "Kagrra," again because you like rock melded with traditional music, despite the warning that they are no longer an active band. I love Miyavi and the Gazette, but Kagrra, is definitely the Japanese artist I listen to the most.

[@MidnightEkaki]

Oh man... Gackt was my teen playlist lol. The main thing I listened to before getting into kpop in my late teens (im now 23) I haven't listened to these songs in so long. But yeah I fell in love with his voice, his aesthetic, and the emotions in his music. He describes himself as a samurai vampire lol so theres a mix of gothic rock and traditional sounds in his music. My personal favourite song from him is Setsugekka End of Silence. But I have so many songs I love from him.

[@Lokilanie]

Gackt-sama's Ghost was used for the American Terminator, either movie or TV show.

[@isaiahpeters7848]

He does use that microphone, but typically only for that song. He has two personal band mates named You and Chachamaru that play his strings, then he typically hires out for people to fill the rest of the instruments. Gotta say, he’s my favorite J-Rock artist

You've earned a subscriber! Omg I love your reactions they are so pure and genuine I cannot stop smiling. Having you react to jrock bands is amazing and it makes me miss listening to them again. If I'd recommend something for you I think Sakanaction! They're post rock but more towards an electorica sound (which seems to be a common genre in Japan). Would love to hear your opinion on them!

Thanks for this vidéo GACKT are The Best 💗

[@superjaz33]

To the video, is Gackt a samurai, sorta! Returner was a tie into a Japanese drama where Gackt played feudal lord Uesugi Kenshin. Really though his comedy shines! Try looking up him on Japanese talk shows like Utaban and Heyx3

You forgot to mention that his voice is used for the vocaloid Gakupo. I can't stop seeing Gakupo. I wish I knew Gackt before vocaloid

[@munou000]

"Sakura,tiru..." my favorite his song.

[@lorenagomonal5764]

Vanilla is 9+ years old. It was sadly reuploaded. It's in the Returner Yami No Shuuen video.(first one,samurai) Crown, him, and international merch rights had it out, taking down A LOT of his best songs.

The second song, Redemption, was a theme for a Final Fantasy game! It's from Final Fantasy 7 - Dirge of Cerberus! There's another song by him in the game called "Longing" (I think so, I haven't listened to his music for a while q.q)
