What was it supposed to be like? I haven’t touched it in quite awhile. Well, I guess I’ll change it. That said, I was hijacked by this. RT @youkophoenix: @GACKT Your profile description, it’s about time you should change it.
It’s been the same since April Fools’.

I don’t know how the match will go, but Tenshin is full of fire, so do support him.

I’m really looking forward to the match between Mayweather and Tenshin, my excitement is off the charts!

Tenshin-kun, do your best!!

I’m looking forward to GACKT-san’s national anthem and commentary too!

Be even more wonderful today than you were yesterday, I believe that if you put all your heart into living earnestly, you’ll be able to live your best life. Don’t forget to smile. RT @AoYoshisan: @GACKT Gackt-san, good evening
I’ve been following Gackt-san for over 20 years since Malice Mizer days.
I’ve always wanted to become like Gackt-san but I still can’t catch up, so what should I do?

 

10
I want to try doing InstaLives at random times tonight until we go into the next year. It’s kinda like a close-up, isn’t it? RT @AKEMI_LOVERS: @GACKT GACKT-san, thank you for the InstaLives

 

11
Then I’ll have to bring him to Roppongi for drinks first… RT @Kunraik: @GACKT Please beat Mayweather

 

12
I didn’t steal anything, instead it’s more like you’ve put it somewhere and forgot about it, didn’t you? Isn’t it rare that you’ll be happy over misplacing something? This is great. Do your best RT @Laiko79: @GACKT I’ve gone from 54kg→46kg be doing GACKT-san’s muscle training!!!?!!?? This fat stealing thief!!!!I’ll look to your guidance going forward too!!!!!!!

 

13
RIZIN’s venue is in quite a state right now. The streaming of the match was too early, and we’re now taking an hour’s break until the live broadcast. Isn’t this the first time that something like this happened? To think that a match would’ve concluded so quickly. Ahahaha. RT @luca_0208: @GACKT Do you have plans for a tour next year?
I’m in front of the TV waiting for GACKT’s arrival now

 

14

Your’s? Are you sure? I’ll really break it?? RT @usasa_dears: @GACKT Please break (my) bones……

 

16
No way, no, I’ll tear a ligament, y’knowー! Don’t be ridiculous!! RT @aya_0113: @GACKT Will GACKT-san take part in a RIZIN match…?
If it’s GACKT-san, I think you’ll be able to defeat everyone.

 

17
Noooi〜〜sy!!! I’ll change it! If I change it you’ll quit it, right!! RT @gakuv23: @GACKT
GACKT-san

The network connection here is terrible. The speed is super slow. Please bear with it. RT @ruuuno2: @GACKT Your replies to tweets is slow today, isn’t it
Has GACKT-san already been put on standby??

 

19
Hey, I’m really gonna break it! It’ll hurt, y’know? You’ve never broken them before, have you? RT @0717_mo2: @GACKT @usasa_dears I want my ribs broken.

28
Weren’t you guys the ones who were telling me to change it!!! RT @Ytatsu0908: @GACKT GACKT-san please revert your icon back

I tried soaking earlier. I’ve lightened quite a bit… I tried changing my Insta icon with that. RT @Mesyatss: @GACKT Please soak yourself in whitening serum!!!!!

What do you think? 

31
Recently it’s been growing too fast, y’know. RT @jin14love: @GACKT
Has GACKT-san grown a beard before?

 

32
I’ve been saying it’s me!!! RT @goodcatfig: @GACKT @_ZIGGETY_zag If it’s possible, a selfie of the present GACKT-san would be nice

 

33
I’ve grown older so recently, I’ve become rounder. The colour of my skin changes easily too. RT @onatsuuuuuuu: @GACKT What lovely round eyes you have.

 

34
Thanks!!! RT @901Nori_lovers: @GACKT Your white teeth are wonderful

 

35
Even if it looks like that, I was originally a woman. RT @6A_A_AoA: @GACKT Your gender is changing too!!!!!!

 

36
A VIP ROOM at the venue, so I can see the hall. My skin is super white, so you’ll spot me easily. RT @dacktmoon070423: @GACKT
Where’s GACKT-san now?
In the venue?

 

37
More than that, I need to prepare to sing the national anthem! RT @ta_xx65: @GACKT GACKT-san isn’t trending yet!! Let’s get something in!!!

 

38
You can just do it where you are. RT @ofcourse7love: @GACKT-san
I suddenly need to go to the toilet (((((゜゜;)
What should I do (((((゜゜;)

 

39
No, I have to go soon. When I have time, I’ll strangle you next time. RT @ayaka_GL74: @GACKT
2018 was so great that I want to die quickly! Please strangle my neck!!

 

40
Al〜right, it’s time to go. I hope that 2019 will turn out to be a great year for everyone. Bring flowers to this rotten world with your smiles. Until next time.
