GACKT Official Weibo update. Translation below:

I quickly got ready for a meeting that was going to start in the morning.
My friend, MAX Murai, came too, and we immediately got into it.

The meeting ended successfully,
and after a short break, I had to check on the new sunglasses products.
Putting them on one by one, I checked their actual feel and appearance.
The form of my sunglasses basically never changes.
Only the colourway and the material gets changed a little.

This time the one with white mixed in is one that I quite like.
I particularly recommend it to people with long hair.
No matter how long your hair is, it’ll bring out the presence of your eyes well.

After the meeting, I went to the gym.
For the first time in awhile, I’m training with a number of people together in Japan.
Japan’s nationwide champ from WTF Taekwondo came from Kansai just to take part,
and similarly, Japan’s nationwide champ from ITF Taekwondo is joining in too.

In the middle of the training,
one of the things that I’m always saying to everyone is 【correct the posture】.
This is a way of thinking that is found in both martial arts and life.

There’s no need to do it until your posture gets destroyed.
By training with a bad posture, not only you will break down your body’s balance,
but it also becomes easier to spoil your muscles.
Maintaining the right posture while doing things properly
is the best and shortest way to a beautiful body.

It’s the same in life.
Normally, when you’re doing something, you have to correct properly the posture of your own heart.
If you do it with bad posture, you’ll probably end up with some kind of big failure,
and you won’t be able to pick fix things from that failure
or you’ll end up losing someone or something precious to you.

It has great meaning for someone to learn martial arts in their childhood.
In martial arts, the most important thing is 【posture】.
There is almost no martial art that wants you to only
punch or kick your opponent with a great deal of strength.

When learning martial arts, the important basic foundation is to always correct your posture.
If you keep getting reminded about this over and over again since young,
you’ll will have a firm awareness of it,
and you’ll be able to understand how that meaning applies to life.

You might as well say that to 【correct the posture】
is the principle for everything.

I sincerely hope that the number of wonderful and cool men around the world will increase a lot.
If that happens,
I think the number of wonderful women in the world will inevitably increase more too.
