Teru

Friends list

To those who have randomly added me: I'm happy to meet new Gackt fans and get to know people BUT some of them do not comment at all or post anything in their journals. I've had too many people doing the disappearing act and also people who posted my translations without my permission and without credit. (I'm not saying it's anyone here cos that was waaay back.) I'm not being selfish but I would like to meet REAL people not leeches. So if your journal is an empty one (a post that says 'Friends Only' is valid because that means your entries are locked), sorry, I won't add you back. If you just created your journal within three months, sorry I won't add you back. You can get your translations elsewhere, I'm sure there are many out there. I would like the people on my friends list to be real people who comment (I'm not asking for comments to every post I make, but an occasional one is nice. At least then I know you exist.) and react and have a valid journal going on. I don't mean to say I wanna read about your life, but even posting about anything is fine. Just comment to this post to be added and I'll add you. If you add me without commenting here, I won't know it because I turned off the notification. But it's still my discretion on who to add back. There aren't many locked posts anyway. So if you just want news, 99% of the time they are not locked.

Another issue would be the translations.
Thank you those who thank me whenever I post a translation or just any news. It makes me happy and motivated to do more. :D I know I'm not fantastic at it but just a simple 'thank you' is enough to make me happy. It shows someone appreciates the hard work I put in. (besides I know that someone actually reads them) I would just like to ask that you credit me or link back to my post (if it's public) if you post them elsewhere. Please also do not paraphrase my translations and claim them as your own. If I know you did, you'll be out of my friends list in double quick time. 
I usually do not lock any entries until I've translated them. So if you've bookmarked something and checked again later and it's not there, it means it's translated. If you're friended, you'll be able to read them so there's no worry to you. 

Staff Blog Entries
I'll be locking staff blog entries whenever a new one appears whether or not I have translated it. This is what happens at the community site and I think it's fair to all. But they will still be available to people on my flist. I would however appreciate that you do not repost the pictures from the staff blog anywhere.

NO HOTLINKING OF IMAGES!

Requests
I accept translation requests. However, I need to emphasize that I have a full time job, am studying and have a gazillion things going on. So the request may not be processed quickly. Also I do not accept video/ audio translations. Sorry but my hearing is BAD. I'll also translate what I think is more important first, so if you can't wait, sorry.


That's all for now.

Sleepy...

FORDEAR

In the end, I burnt the whole night away working.
I'm totally caught up in work~~~!!!!

After this, I'm going to Joetsu.
It's tiring.

At any rate I hope you guys enjoy yourselves.
Because we obsessed over the completion of this event, **
playing was created seriously, it's interesting...**
It's going to be awesome.

Well well, will I be able to finally reach Joetsu in one piece?

Let's go.

ps: I think it's going to be cold in Joetsu today...


** This 2 sentences don't make sense to me in English. If you don't understand, let me know I'll try to rephrase them more....

GACKT finally reveals his age!

GACKT has finally announced his age officially as being 37 in 2010.
This news hit me the minute I logged on to the net after waking up from being sick. So whatever I type next might be under the heavy influence of meds.

Press con news for Nemuri Kyoshiro

Official site for Nemuri Kyoshiro
http://www.nemuri-gackt.com/

During the press con for Nemuri Kyoshiro, GACKT's age was accidently revealed when the introduction video showed "Year 2010 37 years old". Regarding this, commotion ensured since GACKT has never officially revealed his age but always said he was born in 1540. With a bitter smile, GACKT said "In the past live (MC) I said I was born in 1540, it ended up being shown in my profile. But I didn't have the chance to correct it. I didn't hide it on purpose." 

The previous character who acted in this role, Raizo Ichikawa, passed away suddenly at the age of 37 and next year May 2010 will be his 40th death anniversary; GACKT who is going to take on the same role will be the same age in 2010. 

GACKT mentioned that he is going to lose another 5kg to fit the role of Nemuri since he is a skinny fellow. 

The rest of the article states the background of the story which you can get on wiki

The stage show will start in Tokyo on 14-28 May 2010, 28 Sept - 20 Oct in Osaka, 20 Nov - 3 Dec in Aichi (Nagoya). 

Magazines - Nov

Shopping

If you've always wanted some of the accessories that GACKT wore, you can get this from Rakuten now.


It's one of his favourite rings.
They ship overseas and accept credit card payments. Details here in English.
Buy it here


Returner Limited Edition with DVD is still available on Rakuten here .
Price 1800yen
It doesn't say whether it ships overseas though, so you might need to get a shopping service to help.
But I think this company is under CDJapan, so you can actually try to get it from CDJapan here.




Peace

No No..., you're all overly worried...

FORDEAR

Tell you what, I said blazers are good~~~
But it's not compulsory.
I got too many emails saying Why~~~ amid confusion
I say the same too.

Sailor too, Gakuran too,
Pleated skirts too are cute...
Ribbons are cute too.
Ok--ay, I know how troubled you all are about this...

Well, we're aiming to be the Super Excellent High School Copy Band,
All of you just aim to be the Super Cutey Sexy High School Girl.

It's not vague like Halloween,
All of you have fun thinking about the easiest way to portray the image of a student uniorm.

Anyway, it's going to be really fun.

All right, farewell then~~

Gakuensai Updates!

The Gakuensai page has been updated with pictures of school uniforms and live goods!!!

I think GACKT and staff got too many emails asking what kind of uniform is ok and so they had this.


And the goods for Gakuensai are out!! There are a couple that I'll really love to have!!! OhGACKT why do you do this to me? XD

PLATINUM BOX X

Buy it at Amazon.jp
Price: 6120yen (10% discount)
It'll be on sale till 2010.01.13. So get it before that.

GACKT Blogged
He mentioned that because he hasn't blogged for such a long time, he got a lot of emails from fans asking if he's alright.
For the past 20 days (where he didn't blog) he has bogged down with tons of work, the fanclub trip, recording, making of the DVD,  rehearsal for Gakuensai, recording of PV, recording of new song etc........
He's so busy so that he's unable to smile now and feels like dying.
But after receiving the pictures of smiling fans (from the fanclub trip I guess), he feels better due to all the lovely memories.
They are now rehearsing for Gakuensai and the songs are not GACKT songs! *
GACKT also mentioned that it's extremely hard to get tickets to the Gakuensai. **
GACKT says he likes Blazers for girls' uniform because the skirt is cute.
Many fans have been asking the fanclub staff questions on the dress code.
One of it was 'Can I just wear glasses?'
GACKT doesn't like it so no glasses only! (Please wear school uniforms! )
GACKT mentioned something about being like Ultra Seven
Fans attending will have to wear School Uniforms, and a Tie.
Ties should be available on the day of the event,
Maybe skirts too?
GACKT will let us know in the next blog entry!


* I'm not sure if all of you knew, but it was in Dears Village. Fans were asked to choose which non-GACKT songs they would like GACKT to perform.
** 'It's hard to enter Gakuensai." He said it in a way like entering a school. Well, it's a school theme.

And remember about the stage show thing I mentioned a while back?
Apparently it's quite confirmed GACKT is going to be in it!
Not much details are known yet, so we'll have to wait till the press con.
http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2009/11/02/03.html

edit: GACKT blogged again! He said not to worry about the type of uniform chosen. He only said he likes Blazers but all styles are fine! They are currently trying to be a Super Excellent High School Copy Band so all you girls out there, just be Super Cutey Sexy High School Girls!

Singapore papers reported about GACKT!

Singapore's main chinese papers reported about GACKT coming to Singapore for the Fanclub trip!
http://stars.zaobao.com/pages8/gackt091021.shtml
A fan saw him at Takashimaya yesterday afternoon around 5pm. She went up to talk to him and even shook his hand twice!
Their whole conversation was in ENGLISH!
It's reported that the papers tried to find info on his activities but because it's a fanclub trip and 'private' so no details were leaked out.
I wonder if the reporters are going to ask him for an interview or try to follow him!
