GACKT Official blog update. Translation below:

I arrived in the Philippines after getting significantly delayed.
The plane got delayed for quite awhile.

The sun has completely set too,
and it was also peak hour, so I took the back roads but it was so dark that it’s hilarious.
For my eyes, which are sensitive to light, it was an exceptionally gentle amount of light.

I arrived at home and prepared for the next day.
I realised that it was the first time in awhile that I’ve been back to the Philippines.

Around noon the next day,
I went to the pier to go to the boat and
I found something funny.

At all beaches, there are youths who sell accessories but
the T-shirt that this youth wore was a LUNA SEA staff tee,
and instinctively, when this youth came towards me to ask me to buy accessories,

『LUNA SEA’s staff? That’s LUNA SEA, LUNA SEA!』

I asked, but

『?????』

He was thinking with a blank expression, I suppose he was racking his brains.

『I don’t have LUNA SEA but I have these instead!』

he said, and showed me other accessories.
Whatever, I said, and went into the boat.

This time, we’re heading to the destination on my friend’s jet boat and
this is the fastest jet boat on the market, and apparently, it’s terribly fast.
We were starting the engine when some issue came up, and the engine wouldn’t start.

Going through this and that, we opened the engine room,
and in the end, by the time we could depart, it was early evening.
Then we inspected the destination from the sea.
No matter how many times I’ve been here, this place is really beautiful.

The water is extremely clear.
It sparkles sapphire-green from the sea.

I steered the boat along the shore to watch the sunset,
then we checked into the hotel.
Anyway, the sound of the waves echoes in my heart.

After getting to the hotel, we quickly finished our meeting.
The project that we thought of a year ago has started and is finally moving.

The big project all started with trivial conversation.
That’s what it is.
The most important thing is how it comes together,
and as long as you have the ability to get things done and friends, anything is possible.

That’s what friends are.
Not only do you have to get along well, you also have to be able to enjoy spending time together,
and that’s a lot to develop before work.

If this project goes well, I think it’ll be complete by 2019.
I’m looking forward to it.
I think various announcements can be made until then too.

Alright then, this night is long.
Tonight, I’ll slowly drink while listening to the sound of the waves.
