The Third GACKT Thread

[BlackSilence]

for italian fans: http://infomilano.blogspot.com/2011/...programma.html

though no word from G himself or his management...

[relmy]

The only thing that annoys me about this is that it'll probably be in July like last year when I don't have my halls... so I'll have to travel to London from home. Why can't you tour Europe in winter?! Or maybe he will. I need to know when this is before I plan my holiday so I don't miss him haha

@misato, I know!! In the encore we all demanded it from him, it was our only wish as his fans haha We did get some amazing other stuff in the setlist though, so I don't mind. Nine Spiral, Lu:na, Dybbuk, Speed Master, Kimi ga matteiru kara ♥ all in one show! It was so amazing

I'd like to see him sing more ballads and pop-orientated songs this time~

[BlackSilence]

well looks like it's gonna be in July again....

Please remember: This is another RUMOR-POST YO! ♥
& nothing has been ultimately confirmed, yet, please keep this in mind, Dears!

So while browsing the net yesterday this website popped up on the list, unexpectedly announcing that "nothing was confirmed yet apart from a Bochum date on July 21st" and that they would report back once more is known.

If we consider the previous RUMOR-post on topic, sounds possible…
But Arena Civic?
Capacity of 10 000 - 30 000 - I still need to wrap my mind around this IF true.
Unless G is going to do his Heli stunt…

nothing is actually confirmed yet for the dates but he said that in August he's having a tour in Japan.

BTW i liked the 600-800 sized club venues better... I mean unless he decides to come with giantic show....what's the point of such a huge place that could take over 10000 people?

hold on your horses!! U guys get the best..I live in a ****ing small country in Europe where we can just DREAM about getting a japanese artist to do a concert, and damn I brought my ass to Germany for him last time, which costed me a ton of money so don't say that Europe gets the best. Plus America is a different story everyone seems to be thinking that it's like snap of the fingers and the artist gets a tour..It's much more complicated for Japanese artists to get through, promotion is crappy held and whatnot..Have patience, jeez! That's all we f-ing hear these few days, whining of fans about him not going to THEIR country, ugh not much till "GACKT Y U NO COME TO MY HOUSE TO TOUR D:"...seriously...save moneyz and go like most of us do, jeez..

adantatu2 i totally forgot about that...um as far as I know the single isn't his own work, it's a song chosen for Gakpoid or something, so not his own creation.

Woah, calm down little girl!

We get the best shows? Canada gets the best shows? You'll have to remind me what are these best shows that we get since we only ever got Dir en Grey and D'espairs Ray. And just so that you know, my little friend, I know very well how to save my money and go to a show in another country, as I did with Jrock Revolution in 2007. But I can't just travel across the ocean every time someone I want to see has a show. I have responsibilities and a job and a house etc etc...

My favourite Jrock band, MUCC toured Europe atleast twice. Gackt, Gilgamesh and UnSraw toured Europe and the list goes on. You can go on Jame and see how large that list is. If you want to deny it then go right ahead, but that won't stop me from complaining that someone I spent alot of money on CD wise, has yet to come to my part of the world and as a fan I have every right to. And that has nothing to do with how easy or hard it is for an artist to organize a tour or the situation wherever it is you live.

I am going again this year, I am going for Cologne, since that is the only day that is good for me to go

[relmy]

Hopefully going to the London show Yaaay, excited. Thanks for the dates

Ah, he's at a different venue too. It's the same one Miyavi played at I think. 2,350 capacity is double than the O2 Islington one he played last time. Maybe more props and stuff this time?

I'm not going to line up all day this time, I was right at the front last time (with a chest infection, how I didn't pass out I have no idea) so this time I'm going to go and enjoy without worrying about seeing him "up close". Don't want to be right at the back as I'm pretty short and still want to see his face :p

[Misato]

Yes, munich again!
But this time i´m a little bit afraid because of the tickets.
You can buy the tickets only from one shop and last year it was totally chaotic!

And in august, it will even more hotter than last year. I´m afraid, because last year, it was like he dies at the stage. (i remember his blog entry a few days after the concert)

[BlackSilence]

full song, or just a preview? and can't wait for "Paranoid Doll"♪
he looks so pretty in the background picture!
*yes, I know the picture is photoshoped,,,,

[BlackSilence]

^ that pic is actually hideous in my oppinion, they totally overphotoshopped him there... and looks like only I have a problem with his lips in that pic....

and BTW the paranoid doll song : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI87nUCh8As

i'm actually looking more forword od the PD than Ep.0

@Yumsushi: 1st What I meant that America always gets the best bands to play, I'm talking IN GENERAL, not about J-rock, second WE ALL HAVE RESPONSABILITIES it's not like only u alone here have them.... And as being a fan and grown up person u should freaking be more tolerant and patient and do a reserch before whinning like a 14 year old here....At least have some respect for the artist himself, i bet if he could he'd went to every single place but I asume u get the fact that he's a human being and that he has RESPOSABILITIES and contracts to follow & works his ass off already to make things happen...Plus none makes u spend your money on him u know, u chose that yourself, and just because u do that it doesn't mean he owes u something, u get a product for your money, that's the deal...

lol~ I think its thinking like yours thats disrespectfull to the artist and I'd ask you to enlighten me with your research but since you and I seem to be on 2 different planets I'll just leave it at that.

[adantatu2]

^^thanks, i really like it, yay for new music

[hesabiim]

I read somewhere that the new single is "gackpoid song"...so it's...what??
Isn't it some kind of program...? So does that mean it's not composed/written by Gackt?
I'm so confused!>.< Please someone explain...

[relmy]

^ I know what you mean. There are plenty of Japanese artists I would like to have seen that have been to America, and plenty that have been to Europe, but not England. I don't complain, I weigh up whether I can afford to go see them or not, and most of the time I can't. I don't blame the artist that I can't go. I lived about 2 hours away from London last year and it still cost me £150+ to go see him in London. :/

I don't think Gackt isn't touring America because he doesn't know he has fans, like Artika said, it may just not be possible. Europe is A LOT smaller than America. Utada had American albums to justify the tour, and most singers who go there play at conventions. Gackt knows he has fans there, didn't he do that super group performance with other artists years ago? He went to Canada too! It's not because he is ignoring the countries. I think that's the point, not a fan being upset - that's natural.

[Sakura_Genki]

Wow, £45 for a ticket for GACKT's London concert. I really want to go so I think the only way I can is to dip into my savings. I have to think about train fare and the cost of a hotel for the night. A good friend of mine wants to go too, I got her into GACKT a few months ago~ I hope we can pull the funds together so we can both go!

[relmy]

^ I know, it's closer to £50 with the fees.

I've bought 2 London tickets, £103 x___x
I don't actually HAVE anyone for the second ticket. I either sell it a face value online if I can't find someone, or I know two girls who would like to go and I'll sell it to them.

I'm not to worried about transport, I can get to London on the coach for very little, and I'll just take the overnight coach back home.
