so.... there's been SERIOUS tabloid **** that got even OHP in a statement of denial. I am posting it here since it's a closed forum of a certain artist and probbaly wont be spred too much around the internet.

Just gonna quote one of the members of the GACKT comm on LJ.

Quote:

I debated for a long time about whether to post this or not as I do not want to give the story any publicity. But, there is a news item about it on GACKT's OHP and I feel that it's better that GACKT's fans hear about it from other GACKT fans, instead of from another source that may troll or take enjoyment from the story.

The tabloid FLASH magazine has printed a story about GACKT today. There is a firm denial of the story on his OHP and also threats of legal action against the magazine and possibly the woman involved.

The story is accusing GACKT of raping a woman.

The story is that in September 2011, GACKT and two friends went to a hostess bar. GACKT didn't drink as he had a live two days later, but he brought many drinks for the hostesses. When his car arrived to pick him up, he asked a hostess to accompany him home. She declined but he took her home by force. Sexual contact happened in the car and later at his home over a course of six hours. He allegedly hit her.

It was reported to the police in November 2012.

There are other details both from this source and other sources but I really don't want to get into details too much.

Again, GACKT and his office are firmly denying this.

I have no idea if this story is going to blow up or blow over. I know that all Japanese tabloids are terrible, but I don't know exactly how terrible FLASH is. The Japanese fans don't seem too stressed about it from what I've seen on Twitter, so I'm going to lean towards FLASH not being particularly believable.

On a happier note the tour for BEST OF THE BEST vol I just started;

Spoiler:

and there's gonna be two new compilation albums [BEST OF THE BEST vol. I MILD] and [BEST OF THE BEST vol. I WILD ]with two new songs - Sakura, Chiru and CLAYMORE which is also going to be a theme song for the Silent Hill 3D movie in Japan:
