GACKT Official news update. Translation below:

There as been more than 12,000 applications for the 3,000 free entries to 1st May 2018’s 「BLOCK ONE powered by SPINDLE」 held at Makuhari Messe. We have adopted a system that allows free entry into the venue, but if we decide to proceed with holding the event in such a circumstance, it would result in confusion and major accidents, and thus, with consideration for the safety of visitors being prioritised, we have decided to postpone the event. We sincerely apologise to everyone who has been looking forward to this event.

In this time’s 「BLOCK ONE powered by SPINDLE」, we planned to conduct explanations on our company and talk about the listing but with attendance numbers far exceeding our expectations, the repercussions of accidents that may happen if we hold the conference in Japan before our listing will have a negative effect on our listing and raise concern among various internal organisations.

With that in mind, we will be changing the date and venue of 「BLOCK ONE」. Also, there was a Conference Airdrop Program that was planned, and with this change, we will be granting the Airdrop to everyone who has applied so far. Once the date and venue for 「BLOCK ONE」 has been confirmed, we will contact everyone who has applied. We apologise to everyone who has been looking forward to this event, but please do understand that if any accidents, it will cause us difficulty prior to our listing. We believe that our holders do not wish for this to happen, so deeply appreciate your understanding and cooperation. We thank you for you support for SPINDLE going forward. SPINDLE Administrative Office


This is GACKT.

To all the SPINDLE holders who have been looking forward to this event, those who have been supporting SPINDLE and were intending to attend this event, and to all associates who have been working hard until the very end, this time, prioritising the safety of visitors, the head management have made the difficult decision to postpone this event.

The reason for this is as mentioned in the official statement. Applications were more than 4 times of the capacity of the venue, and since we allow free entry and exit, head management has judged that it will be dangerous to hold the event in such a circumstance.

I, too, was very much looking forward to participating in this event and am sorry to hear about this but I do support the head management’s decision.

There are economic costs to deciding to postpone the event just a few days before it was scheduled, but if a single accident even occurs, all our efforts would have been for naught.

When this event is going to be held, I, together with the SPINDLE team, will put together measures that will allow everyone to visit.

I look forward to your continued support of SPINDLE.
