Gackt

It took me a while to admit that Gackt is actually a damned good artist.  For the longest time I simply saw him as the singer that abandoned Malice Mizer.  It wasn't until the release of Moon that my perceptions finally broke and I acknowledged that he does, indeed, have talent.

4) Lapis

Mini-CD that marked Gackt's first foray as a solo artist post Malice Mizer.

Okay, *now* I'm a Gackt fan.  There was just too much progress in this album to ignore.  It seems like he's moving away from being Mr. Image and actually just having a hell of a lot of fun.  There's not a track on here that isn't just solid.
