GACKT tried coffee brewed by the new model「NesCafe Dolce Gusto DROP」which was launched on the same day and gave it a big thumbs up, saying「Because I am always able to drink it fresh, and anyway it has a good aroma! It’s delicious」. He also revealed that he was unexpectedly bad at coffee in the past, saying「When I went to France, everyone looked so cool drinking it…… Since I’ve been finally able to drink it after these 5 years, I’ve also become particular about it, I’ve become one of the adults(laughs)」.

GACKT shared his thoughts enthusiastically,「Right now, times are changing. We’re entering a new era where artistes can not only work with recording companies, but they can also tie-up with businesses and attempt new challenges. Using my ideals as a musician as an example, I hope to be able to deliver surprising things to everyone through my activities from here on」, his eyes shone as he continued「I would like to show how far one can penetrate into the international market as a Japanese」.

GACKT, who was the first customer at this cafe, said「In any case, I would like as many people as possible to come and experience this and feel the future. Come down to the “Future Cafe” in real life, taste the flavours with your own tongue, and you’ll understand that no matter what this deliciousness cannot be conveyed over the internet. I would like to everyone to first try it」. With that appeal, the event was concluded.
