GACKT OFFICIAL WEIBO – AUG 16 2017

GACKT Official Weibo update. Translation below:

I was able to relax unexpectedly in KL for the past few days,
but due to another work meeting
I have to go to the Philippines in a hurry.

Reached KLIA in the morning.
Saw something interesting.
Don’t know why the Lamborghini Huracán was displayed in the airport.
I walked near and asked what’s happening,
it’s to celebrate the 25th year anniversary of the airport, and you stand a chance to win it when you make purchases in the shops.
The staff were pretty happy,

“You might be able to ride on a Lamborghini?”

telling me with a smile.

“Yes… I hope someday I can ride on it…”

I replied with a smile.

I walked towards the ticketing counter.
In the middle of completeing the proceedure, the staff suddenly gathered around.
I wondered if there’s some problem with my passport
A staff came over

“Are you…Mr. GACKT??”

He asked.

I wanted to say I’m not, but he already had his handphone,
with the picture he googled ,in front of my face.
“Hmmm…I think, yes…”

I didn’t know what I answered but everyone cheered.
Somehow I felt a little shy.

After security check, there was many youngsters in the queue for boarding.
They were so young and yet they were carrying YSL bag.
Recently, kids carrying brands that typically don’t fit their stature make me feel ill.

There’s even someone taking a special edition Birkin bag.

“How can one get to buy a bag that’s worth 3 million themselves?”

I wanted to say that out loud.
Those twenty-ish who were holding bags that don’t fit their stature,
looking at how they carry the bags, it’s questionable how these kids earn their money.

Just thinking about it scares me.
There’s always news about JK Business around,
and actually in Japan now is even more rampant than you imagined.
The unpopular idol, gravure idol, models
ordinary looking University students, working adults
there are a lot of people doing these kinds of work.

I hope the women in this world will love themselves more.
Indeed, “There are many things that can be done only when you are young”.
But that doesn’t mean you can just do anything you want.

I’m reaching Philippines soon.
I can see the islands.

That said…
It’ll be good if I can spend my time relaxing.
