Blog! 2006.07.25 - Plain and simple--If you're gonna hate Gackt, have a GOOD reason.1. He is soley resposible for destroying Visual Kei's popularity. He left Malice Mizer in VK's height of popularity when Malice Mizer itself was the single most popular visual kei band around. When he did this, alot of Malice Mizer fans said "fuck off" to the whole VK thing and blindly followed Gackt into the hell we know as jpop shit. A-ko: What's wrong with J-Pop? B-ko: Absolutely nothing. oo B-ko: It's fun to dance to. A-ko: A -lot- of Visual-kei performers switch over to J-pop actually. B-ko: Jpop is a lot more artisticly liberal. A-ko: They switch, and do a lot of guitar stuff, it varies... From songs sounding -much- like Kei, to bubblegum sounds. B-ko: *nods* B-ko: One reason why Gackt left, more than likely, was because he could just evolve on a whim. B-ko: *couldn't A-ko: Oh, and another thing. A-ko: Those fans who were true, really -did- stay with the band. Mana's got his own empire of people who are -still- following him. B-ko: *nod-nods* B-ko: Mana = Darker and Darker and Darker. Gackt = jumps into a closet to see who he's gonna be next. *thinks black stone* A-ko: That's true, Gackt likes to be malleable, his image change is something which is -very- reminiscent of Visual Kei. B-ko: hai! A-ko: I don't know about you, but... A-ko: True VK fans don't say that VK is dead. B-ko: If I was to go into Japanese music professionally--I'd do Jpop, mostly because it's actually more active. A-ko: It -is- more active, but then again, people have to -beg- to get VK performances. B-ko: *headtilt* explain that to me. A-ko: You see these J-pop performances all the time. Like, Puffy (Ami Yumi)...They're -always- putting themselves out there in the public. B-ko: *nods* A-ko: While the VK bands stay secluded in their own little world. GL bible, and similar places. Over and over. B-ko: oki, I see what you mean. I never thought about that. A-ko: Actually, I -just- got an e-mail saying that Moi dix Mois is going BACK to Germany in June. A-ko: They were just there in March. B-ko: good grief. o_o A-ko: Indeed. So, VK is only dead if you let it be. NEXT! 2. He does nothing worthwhile anymore. All he does now is anime theme songs, goes on talk shows, makes some crappy songs and rakes in the money. I have no idea why people can even stand him anymore... B-ko: Insert where I say that it's a balance to keep the man from killing himself with over exhaustion. A-ko: Not only that, I'm not sure I'd like to dignify it with a response... B-ko: I mean, have you -seen- how much water he drinks in a show? B-ko: say it XD A-ko: Anime themesongs? What's wrong with anime themesongs? B-ko: YUSH! A-ko: He gets EXPOSED that way. B-ko: I mean, damn. HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR got their break with Gundam Seed Destiny B-ko: and Bleach B-ko: Orange Range and "Asterick" A-ko: T.M. Revolution got his break with Gundam Seed too. B-ko: Actually--Rurouni Kenshin B-ko: Heart of Sword B-ko: X3 A-ko: Well, yeah, but the point is, it was through anime. B-ko: exactly. B-ko: It was because of a cartoon spot that Puffy got their exposure here. *hums Teen Titans theme* B-ko: and I love the japanese version of that theme, mind you. B-ko: Ayumi Hamasaki, Arai Akino, Yoko Kanno B-ko: L'arc~en~ciel even! A-ko: Yup. A-ko: Ready, Steady, GO! B-ko: the only reason I watched FMA was because of Ready Steady Go B-ko: and shall I bring up Gravitation's cult following? A-ko: You see though, why bother picking apart -what- the man does? A-ko: It's -his- personal preference. Get over it if you don't like it. B-ko: yer. Especially since the animes he's done where all series he has a lot of love and respect for. B-ko: You get asked to do Gundam--that's a huge honor to a lot of people. B-ko: I won't get into how much I love the music for a lot of Live action shows. I'm waiting for Yuki to bust into the mainstream. A-ko: It is. A-ko: It's all relative to the fan, he just happens to be picky. B-ko: *nods* Like....hellacious picky. Wonder what he thought of Psycho le Cemu... 3. He is an arrogant bastard. He's all like "Look at me I'm Gackt, worship me, throw your money away all to me." He has totally forgotten where he came from, the small venues of shibuya when they were bumming special K off of other bands because they couldn't afford real coke. B-ko: *cough* oh, this one...yeah. It speaks for itself. A-ko: If I looked like that, I'd be arrogant too. o_o B-ko: XD A-ko: Period, end of story. B-ko: True True. B-ko: He was so fucking quick to mention drugs, too. B-ko: What's Special K got to do with where he came from? A-ko: I have no idea. B-ko: That must say something for -him-. B-ko: Explains bonyness? A-ko: Could be. I'm well padded. >_> B-ko: same here. A-ko: I just... No, I'm done. B-ko: and neither of us are "Overweight 14 yr old girls with horrible acne and obsess over the internet." 4. He obviously never cared about his fans. If he actually did, he would never have left Malice Mizer because he was given more money to do a solo pop album. Now it is even more apparent because his music is getting worse and worse and he's just coming out with more and more stuff, his lives are becoming more and more expensive... it's fucking crazy. All he wants is the money that his fans blindly give him. B-ko: *clears throat* This is a man who writes songs to his fans, and will continuously re-record to make sure they're not half-assed. B-ko: This isn't Rob Thomas or Gwen Stefani. B-ko: No offense to them. A-ko: I really...You know. This is a hard one... Gackt is the one who reads every-single-piece of fanmail sent to him. B-ko: *nods* A-ko: And he does his damnedest to respond in the other person's native language. B-ko: Oh, and HOW MUCH do recording labels tend to steal from their talent? Yeah, I'd want more money, just to keep Nihon Crown off my back, too. B-ko: **Nippon B-ko: oops, got switched with a fansub group XD A-ko: And then there's Midi:Nette. Hel-fucking-lo... MANA owns it, do you think they're really that generous? The only reason it looks that Mana's bands were rich, is because he, himself owns the damn label. B-ko: *nods muchly* B-ko: and, how many times in the past ten years alone have bands and solo artists been ripped off uberly by record labels? A-ko: I don't have enough appendages. B-ko: 'nuff said. B-ko: and on a final note on this one. I don't blindly give my money to him. I do it to purposely fill his pockets. Because as long as he makes money, he'll make music. Which is well...music to my ears. X3 5. He betrayed Mana and the entire visul kei community as a whole. He left. It isn't that he left a band, it's what he left for. He sold out to become another corperate puppet (B-ko: Corporate puppet = Ayumi Hamasaki, admittedly). Visual kei is not about that. Hell, even Miyavi, another member of a former VK band that went solo at least still knows where he comes from and knows how to act when you are in this community. You don't just go solo, then think that you're god, sign a huge-ass record deal then do whatever the hell you want. He's such an ass. A-ko: I'm not going to bother. B-ko: lol B-ko: brb, I'm trying to figure out what to put for his Miyavi comment B-ko: You know I can't let a single one of his comments go unripped, lest he see it and said he proved a point. A-ko: He didn't. B-ko: I know, but you know me. >> B-ko: I have to thoroughly make someone my bitch on a subject. B-ko: and I don't know that much about Meevers A-ko: Well, listen to this. A-ko: If he doesn't think so badly about Miyavi, why is he always ripping him? B-ko: Ohhh, Do I sense hypocracy? A-ko: Maybe just a -little-? B-ko: * puts fingers real close together with tip of tongue sticking out* jus a widdle? X3 B-ko: hehehe B-ko: This is also someone who decides to hate a person at the drop of a hat. B-ko: even ME... A-ko: And me. A-ko: o_o A-ko: Just simply because he said that I hate him. A-ko: Hey B-ko: I think he said he hated me because of something along the lines of me being a loyal fangirl. OH wait, it's because I *RP* gackt. A-ko: I really -don't- hate him. B-ko: I didn't at first. It just gradually grew into that. I'm trying to get over that and into indifference. 6. He has made the most libelous, most made up book in the world, and it's called his autobiography. (A-ko: No really? Can we say...'gimmick'? Gackt -is- a rockstar...He -does- have gimmicks too.) He flat out bashes Mana for all that he did, saying Mana, along with the rest of Malice Mizer was becoming jealous because he was getting to do more in the band than the rest. (A-ko: Actually, this is pretty true... Mana -did- bitch because Gackt wrote the music -and- lyrics for Le Ciel. So, I'm sorry, but Mana is the bitch in this one...Mana himself said that he got upset because he felt that the song was more of a "Gackt" effort than a "Mizer" effort, so he complained.) This doesn't make any sense. (A-ko: See last comment, moron.) Why the hell would Mana be jealous of the power that he gave to Gackt. (A-ko: Mana never -gave- any power to Gackt. I love the man dearly, yet, he is -very- selfish and power hungry.) Mana is and forever will be what Malice Mizer was. (A-ko: Okay, this, I agree with, however...you forget that Mizer -gained- it's fame with Gackt...He is the one that everyone remembers.) Gackt was his shithead puppet, a replacement vocalist. He needs to remember that, but he never will. also, in the autobiography, he says that an "unnamed" member of Malice Mizer said "screw the fans." and that's when Gackt said he finally decided to leave. By unnamed, he means Mana. (A-ko: Okay, yes, it is heavily implied that Mana is the 'unnamed' member. Think of this though, Gackt also said "From the moment I saw him (Mana) I was drawn to him." Why would Gackt flat-out just deface someone he seemed to like? Also, if you'd read more than -just- the man's autobio, you would hear Közi's take on this. He said that when Mana and Gackt met, they ate ramen in silence, went to Közi's home, and discussed the 'meaning of man'...Sounds like they got pretty deep, pretty fast.) Yeah, that makes ALOT of sense, you know, the one who keeps true to his fans, the one that brought down the price of his lives, while some others brought them up.. (A-ko: Don't even go to me with Mana and prices... Have you -seen- what he charges for a Moi-même-Moitié HANDKERCHIEF!?...) you know, fucking Gackt. And it's really funny that he bashes Mana all the time, because if it wans't (A-ko: Learn how to type, moron.) for Mana, he would be nothing. He became popular through Malice Mizer, (A-ko: Okay, need I remind you...That after Gackt was fired/left Mizer, the BAND is the one thing that went all to hell? And who is the number one artist in Japan today?...Thought so.) and still today he is riding off of his fame in Malice Mizer, and he KNOWS it. (A-ko: So? Good for him. Do I sense some insecurity here?) He randomyl(A-ko: Again, learn to type, moron...If you're going to post something, don't you use spell check?) brings up that he was in Malice Mizer, just to bring it up so people know that he's actually important. OK, I'll leave it here for right now... (A-ko: Good, because the points you made were all completely moronic. Even if what you say held -any- credence...Why in the HELL would it matter to you? You don't live in Japan, you're not Mana... I am one of the biggest Mana fans in the world, and I understand that the man is human...Read the Madousho, Mana is an idiot, just like Gackt...I think -you- hold the man in a bit too high of esteem. Rock stars are not gods. Don't pretend to know everything, get informed, asshole.) 7. Him, the person... First thing, he's a fucking psychotic slut. (B-ko: o_O You obviously don't get laid, do you? And if you say you do, I'm telling on you. )He is known for cheeting on all of his girlfriends with multiple people, many times. How can you respect someone like that? B-ko: *cough* Hello, you brainless hamster, that's the life of a rock star--hell even one in the making. (gotta get a start somewhere.) How else would he be able to go 8 hours and think that's short? Also, he consciously fucked with his voice by getting a nose job, why would you do that? Oh, I know. because he's the Japanese Micheal Jackson! Oh, ok. That makes sense now. B-ko: *tah-witch*Oh no he didn't just call him that. *Gackt tries to stop her from pulling a glock from a random purse* I didn't think I need to remind you that Gackt hasn't bleached his skin and tried to throw children from balconies...nor does he live in an oversized theme park. And last time I checked, he wasn't grabbing his crotch and wearing rhinestone gloves. OH YEAH! I guess you forgot he's done other shit to alter his voice and broaden his vocal range. You know..how he cut all carbs from his diet way back in his Mizer days. He has also had a facelift and his crotch seems to be getting bigget and bigger over time... B-ko: One, it's called stuffing for visualization, and two...what the fuck are you doing looking, if you hate him so much? A-ko: He must have a tiny peenie. XD B-ko: *snerks and almost spews Vault* XD!!!!!!! A-ko: If it -really- bothers him that much. B-ko: >< I stuff. B-ko: Oh wait. I'm a girl XD A-ko: Gackt's penis isn't really that big. o_o *knows this* B-ko: *nods* B-ko: oki, so it goes to his hip...and HOW wide are his hips? I mean, really. *facepalm* A-ko: Okay... hello, when I get a woody -mine- almost goes to my hip. e.e B-ko: *cough* but...but...I was going by you know...porportion to his body size... ;w; A-ko: And it -has- to be stuffed. Due to this. B-ko: hell I compared to MY hip...Gackt isn't that well endowed B-ko: *nods* A-ko: he's -obviously- not wearing underwear. B-ko: indeed A-ko: And it's upright. >>; A-ko: Now how the hell? B-ko: o_o ye gods...I just had a thought of him accidently zipping hair... B-ko: *whimpers, falls over* B-ko: *nods to his last statement* A-ko: Therefore it can't be real. XD A-ko: *has tried to keep his up with tight pants before does -not- work* B-ko: the only way to keep it up in tight pants is if you're big enough to hold it up in the waistband... B-ko: *seton flashbacks* A-ko: X_X A-ko: And Gackt's isn't in the waistband. B-ko: exactly yeah, I don't want to talk about that... But, gods, why the fuck do you get plastic surgery, especially a facelift at 30? Oh wait, I forgot he was a vampire. He;s really 462 years old... riiiight. Jackass... B-ko: Um, no, you little retarded monkey. It's called suffering from the effects of malnurishment, smoking and drinking...and all those lovely drugs you swear he's done. If he did them in the past, he more than likely doesn't do them now, for obvious reasons.
