great to see so many Gackt fans. Usually, in more homogenous societies (ie my town), people would be harping on superficial things like:
"he looks like a woman!"
"don't understand, don't wanna bother"
"he looks strange" (MM days)
"he sings strangely. where's the eddie veder roughness?!"
"dude, where's my car!"
I don't mind in the long run. more Gackt for us
It's great that these days his music seems so much more mature, too, with stuff like Tsuki no Uta and Last Song (which is VERY nice). This is my favorite of the various "Gackts" thus far. Can't wait until I get his new album.
And yes, Hyde is great, too. Roentgen is simply my favorite album of all time. His next album will be more heavier, though, so I'll wait and see.
I think MM Gackt is what draws most people into his music.
