GACKT Official Weibo update. Translation below:

I went to the hospital after I finished my training in the morning.
After that I hurried to the venue for the All Japan Taekwondo Competition.

Of course,
I’m not there to play taekwondo,
I’m there to cheer for the players.

Martial arts are very broad and profound.

Martial arts are also “road”.
In other words, people who know martial arts can also learn about life.
It also means Mastering the strength to protect others.
When facing the weakness,
one is able to develop a spirit to never give up.
One can also develop a perseverance to adhere to whatever one wants to do.

Whatever you are doing,
even when you are not an athlete,
you also need to build up your body.
Fighting in the frontline,
working in the frontline,
as long as you are fighting in the frontline,
you have to keep managing your body.

When people live for a long time,
there’s sure to be sickness and pain.

But even when you are sick even when you are in pain,
how can you face these and carry on living?
It is a very important thing to be able to live with this happily.
this was what the late Mr. Ogata Ken said before.

“At times like this,
There’s a lot of things that you experience for the first time.
That’s why you’ll always have to be grateful…”

[Life is the accumulation of every day’s experiences]

The surface meaning of this saying,
everyone can understand.
But how many people can really understand it?

While watching the competition,
my mind kept thinking about these things.

I have to give my best even more!
To charge ahead!
