HERE IS THE LINK!!!! Gackt Speaks
I looked through and its the same thing I posted. So anyways...For those who wanted the 'full' interview there's the link. I was so excited about reading in the July issue that Shojo Beat will have an interview with Gackt. I was like...Lucky *beeps.* Lol.
Unfortunately, the website doesn't have the new issues articles on it since it's July.
So if you would like I can type up the article in this post (later though). I will check the site randomly to see the update and to post the whole article.
I thought I would type what I have anyways. It's not the whole article. When Shojo Beat's site is updated for the new issue I will post the link and erase what I have typed. I will keep the print small so in order to read you are going to copy and paste and put it in a document. I don't want to stretch the page. I also added something I might have said...It's in blue. And what goes along with interviews in magazines? PICTURES! Maybe I can ask my friend the next time I'm over at her house to scan the pics so I can post them. Gackt Speaks
J-Pop Superstar commiserates With SB
By Yukie Kurihara and Megan Bates
Gackt (pronounced "Gackto" by Japanese fans) is a consummate J-Pop idol. A one-time member of the glam rock band Malice Mizer, he went on to establish a successful solo career that's been going strong for over a decade. Gackt has release a significant collection of CDs and singles in the past ten years, while also maintaining secondary careers as an actor and writer – and throughout it all he’s garnered the affection of fans worldwide. A two-DVD set of Gackt’s music videos and live performances titled Gackt: he Greatest Filmography 1999-2006 Red/Blue will be released in the US in October 2007 (check viz-pictures.com more information). SB recently enjoyed the opportunity to chat with Gackt about the DVDs, TV dramas, and other indoor sports.
Shojo Beat: Gackt: The Greatest Filmography 1999-2006 Red/Blue is going to be released in the US this fall. These DVDs are the compilation music videos of singles from 1999-2006. Are there any music videos that you had a hard time filming? Which one is your favorite?
Gackt: I think “Cine Reunion ~My Story~” is the most beautiful one visually. The video that I had a difficult time filming is “Another World.” We filmed this in Hong Kong. It took days and days to shoot, from morning to night. We filmed as though we were shooting a movie, so it was a real tough one. “Redemption” was another hard one; we had to push back 18 hours from the time we were originally scheduled to film. We stayed up all night filming in a cold and ruined warehouse.
SB: On the DVDs you look very “cool” visually, but we hear that you show a funny side when you appear on Japanese TV shows. Which aspect of you character shows up more when you’re with friends and lovers?
Gackt: Both of them are my personality, but I hardly ever talk in private situations.
SB: You performed a solo concert, an exclusive, fan-club only live acoustic set at The Orpheum Theatre in L.A. this past spring. What was the fan reaction like?
Gackt: That was a fan club event that I hold every year overseas. It was the only acoustic live even, and my impression was that the fans were all entranced by the music; many of them were touched and crying by the end.
SB: We heard that you are going to start a new band (a “super band”) sometime this year with former X-Japan founder and member Yoshiki, and that you’re planning a US tour with the new band. Is this true? How is that plan going?
Gackt: I cannot reveal everything about it yet, but the project is underway. I’ll be able to announce some surprising news soon.
Newsflash! Shortly after this interviewed was conducted, the “super band” plans were finalized. The band, titled SKIN, includes J-Rock superstars Sugizo and Miyavi (in addition to Gackt and Yoshiki)—and they’ll even have a live performance at Anime Expo under their belts by the time this issue hits newsstands—Ed.
SB: You recently produced and wrote a new song fro the Chinese singer Jin Min Jia (aka Jia Jia), for her debut in Japan. If you had the chance to produce a US musician, who would it be, or what kind of person would you want to produce?
Gackt: I am interested in producing the work of a vocalist whose visual appearance and singing voice match with their powerful personality and charisma.
SB: You are playing the role of Kenshin Uesugi in the historical TV drama Furin Kazan, part of the series called Taiga Drama on Japan’s NHK channel. Taiga Drama series have been broadcasted in the US with subtitles, so many fans over here are looking forward to seeing the drama.
Gackt:The second half of the full-scale filming for Furin Kazan is about to start. Please look forward to it.
SB: Are there any music or movies you were influenced by?
Gackt: Musical influence is part of my everyday life, but my taste isn’t rooted in one specific genre. If I had to choose one, I would say classical music.
SB: We heard that you are a devoted fan of Gundam, but are there any other manga or anime you like?
Gackt: One of the manga I like now is called Kaiouki [by Masatoshi Kawahara]. This title is very interesting.
SB: What is your impression of American girls?
Gackt: I have the impression that they are hungry for rock. (Me: And you!)
SB: Your skin always looks beautiful and clear as snow. Can you tell us what you do for your beauty? We’ve heard that you have not eaten rice for over 7 years…
Gackt: I have not eaten rice for about 8 years. I make and drink a special vegetable juice every morning. I’m also trying to drink about 3 liters of water every day.
SB: Send a message to American Gackt fans, please.
Gackt: We will see each other soon. Please look forward to that day.

So members of this guild...Would you like me to type up the interview or would you rather wait a month to read the whole??? i'm not really sure what you mean? bc if you type up the interview doesnt it mean you already have all of it? or just part of it? i'd like to read it right away but i dont like anticipating so i might wait for the whole. thanks!!!!

Um I'm not sure how much it is to subscribe. My first year I got it as a gift from a friend. But before that I bought all of the issues. And then my second year it just came because when I got the first year as a gift I asked my mom if I could subscribe. Well she sent it before I told her I got it as a gift. So I guess I had two subscriptions under my name or something. I might have to send in another thing so I can still get it.

But I don't have a blender or whatever that could make it. And I would also have to work on the water.
Rice is the shiznit. I love it. Though I don't eat it everyday. I wonder what it does to him in order for him to not eat it.
