Is Gackt bilingual??

[kayokyokufan]

Thanks everyone! Gackt just seems so much cooler to me now!! I agree, he is very funny. In all the interviews I've seen him in, he always makes me laugh. He's an interesting character, isn't he?! He's mysterious, comedic, attractive, masculine, tall, and athletic. Is there anything he can't do??

as for english...sometimes his english lyrics surprise me with it's grammar, but then it's true, that when you compare Gackt-san with other artists, he is alot better in this language. also when he speaks it, it's not bad...the ninji thing in moonchild was cool! yet i've found him soundin' quite weird when he was duetin' with ayu singin' silent night...

i know he can speak french and korean, but i haven't heard it before...shame ><"

Ah, Gackt with Faye Wong? Do you still have this video?

i was impressed to hear the engLish accent he has in a video there is around called "gackt in madagascar" i still have to watch it whole, but it a nmust see, he speaks fluently in english and he tries to learn new words in other languages of that country...

btw: it's surprising that whenever there is a topic ogf gackt, other characteristinc of this wonderful man appear in scence, it seems there is ONE PACK

*bump*

Good to know that he actually IS a bit fluent in Mandarin....last night I watched Moon Child and I have to say, he did pull off the Mandarin pretty well in that movie. He sounded good with the tones and everything ^^

I don't blame him for giving up on Cantonese...it IS slightly more difficult to learn than Mandarin since Cantonese involves more tones. I think for me it'd be easier to learn Cantonese since the dialect I speak with my parents (Taishanese) is very similar to Cantonese. ^^;

Gackt's English sounded a bit garbled in Moon Child though o_O....I didn't quite catch that part of the movie when he was talking about ninja/kitchen.

Gackt can speak Korean pretty fluently from what I heard, and he is releasing a lot of Korean-esque stuff, and I would say he's pretty fluent. He has a Japanese accent when speaking Korean. His Mandarin is pretty good. Although it can sound a little awkward, the pronouciation are generally good and very understandable.

At this point, I would say Gackt is conversationally fluent in at least the following languages: English, Mandarin, Korean. This is just judging from various clips of him talking about linguistics and actual moments of him interacting with people who are fluent in those other languages. Pretty amazing considering how busy he is. He must be a fast learner.

That's true. He's super-talented and just totally awesome. I love how he's like a little kid at random times.
But i don't think he dances very well It's quite awful. Like this video. Absolutely hilarious.

[monsoonbaby]

as I know, he speaks Chinese and English. He even sings in Chinese *fluently* tat u know wat the words he is singing.

[hallelujah_united]

Japanese and Chinese definitely. But anybody who says he's fluent in English probably doesn't speak the language themselves. I mean, WTH is Papa Lapped a Pap Lopped? (If I typed the title wrongly, that's because it IS that confusing.)

[Neo Daydream]

i wish he knew English! ^^ that'd be hot

[chibi_sunny]

He does know English and speaks it very well. Its just that he sounds horrible when he sings in English. Like when he sang Silent Night with Ayu (I love that video!), Ayu sounded really good compared to him.

[Neo Daydream]

i found a couple of clips of him speaking english:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyyQR...ackt%20english
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKU0P...ackt%20english

[hallelujah_united]

He's better in English than most other Japanese artistes I must say, but sometimes I just can't help laughing at him when he tries to speak English a little too much.

And that MasterCard commercial was cute.

In the pool/jacuzzi right? Then they lie down on the grass before he leaves!

I couldn't understand half of it though xD

[sexysaucestar]

^ Wow, he sounds hott in that clip O_O And pretty fluent....other clips where I've heard him speak English it all sounds so engrish-y. ^^;

[chibi_sunny]

Gackt sounds hot in any language ^_^

[emi♡]
