• Gackt's nicknames include Mr. Pork Belly, Magnum, and The Mad Aristocrat.
• Gackt earned the nickname "Mr. Pork Belly" by virtue of his shopping habits. Everything he cooks takes 4 days to prepare because he goes supermarket-hopping at Maru Sho (which has since gone out of business). He throws open the "flippy" doors to the back room and asks for the meat supervisor. He then haggles with the man over the price of the "hidden meat," which is pork belly blocks. He usually buys 1 pig's worth and invites all of his friends over 4 days later to eat curry.
• When cooking, Gackt also claims to stand there and stir the pot naked while reading a book.
• Since the interview where he received the nickname "Mr. Pork Belly," the supermarkets have been on a watch for him and try to get him to just buy the meat out front. He decided he should wear a disguise next time he goes shopping- like a suit, blue sunglasses, and an atache case.
• Gackt received the name "Magnum" after an interview segment in which the hosts inquired about his liking of walking around his hotel room naked, regardless of what hotel staff see him (quote:"I won't wear underwear...cause it is MY room." For more of an explanation, go read the interview, I will not describe it here.
• In addition to piano, Gackt also plays trumpet, tuba, horn, trombone, guitar, drums, and bass.
• He is very absorbed when he plays his instruments. Once, the interviewers twice slid the piano and him across the room while playing and Gackt never noticed he was moving.
• Gackt is very dedicated to his fans. He once did a concert in which the ending required him to be lifted off the stage with wires. However, the room was so small that he could not detach himself without being spotted by the crowd below. He suggested that he stay up there until everyone left. 40 after the concert was over, technicians told him he could get down since there only was one couple left in the audience, but he preferred to wait some more.
• Gackt's parents were extremely strict. As a child, he was forced to practice piano two hours every day, watching and listening to pre-selected television shows and music.
• At home, Gackt enjoys smoking, drinking, and watching movies (like the Green Mile.) These are the only things he does at home.
• Gackt stars in a movie out called Moon Child. In it, he plays an orphan who becomes the boss of a mafia-type gang that runs a drugged pizza scam in futuristic Taiwan. Shou's best friend, Kei, played by Hyde of L'Arc en Ciel, is a vampire. Shou helps Kei kill bad guys so he can eat them, and learns kung fu (and other vampire stuff) from him. Gackt pretty much wrote the script, so that explains why it is rather silly and the action sequences are quite cheezy.
• Favorite food: spaghetti.
• Least favorite animal: cockroach.
• Gackt has a pet cat.
• Gackt claims the JOB boys- his backup, are more like family than co-workers. Some of them even live togeather.
• Once, Ren drove Gackt home, but when they arrived at Gackt's house, Ren forgot the way to his own house, so Gackt had to drive him home again.
• Gackt claims that You's cooking is so good, Gackt could marry him, and that You is his soul mate, and sometimes hints that they sleep together. In in an interview, You told him to stop talking about their personal relationship while on air.
• Whenever Gackt makes references to hands or fingers in his songs, he is talking about Masa.
• Gackt does not like to waste time training. In order to get a workout, he takes a shower standing in Keanu Reeves' "dodging bullets Matrix" position. He also brushes his hair and his teeth in that position. Occasionally he spaces out and either the toothpaste runs up his nose, or he accidentaqlly brushes his teeth with Biore men's facial cleanser.
• In order to help him stretch, he has what he calls a "crotch-splitting device." One sits in the seat and puts his legs in the holders, then turns the crank and it forces him into a split. Gackt has split his pants several times using this device.
• Gackt claims to do some kicking style of martial arts. If any man comes to his house for dinner, he must first fight the American soldiers guarding Gackt and Gackt himself before he can come in because "food tastes better after a workout." Simply going to the gym before going to Gackt's house is the action of a weakling. Girls have nothing to worry about on visits, though.
• Gackt speaks Japanese, English, French, Mandarin.
• Gackt faints after his shows.
• The first time he heard "Stairway to Heaven," he cried.
