On another cult I've just been told that in an interview with Tokyo Headline, Gackt said he may end his career by 2010.
"For me, the year 2010 has become a sort of stopping point. Before I reach that, I will move forwards. I like to sing and I really want to continue making things that will give a push to everyone's backs, but I do not have the confidence to continue doing what I have always done until I die. Even now I'm barely able to do it (laugh). I can continue with this style for another 3, 4 years; that's why it's 2010. After that, if I feel that I can do it, I will. If I feel that I can't, I will get down from the stage. For now, I will continue moving forwards."
What do you guys think of this news?
I can't see him just disappearing from the creative world, perhaps he'll move more into behind the scenes work, composing or even more films.
I can kinda see his point, there is only so long it would be credible for someone to carry on in the world of Jrock. It's better to go out while still good than fade slowly into the background and be remembered that way.
