GACKT and King Kong’s Nishino’s frank conversation 「If you’re rude, I’ll “educate” you」

To commemorate the 3rd anniversary of the live video streaming platform 「SHOWROOM」, the 24-hour live stream 『Celebrating SHOWROOM’s 3rd Anniversary! 24-hour Live Broadcast of Top Celebrities!』 was held from December 25 (Sun) 21:00 to December 26 (Mon) 21:00. GACKT made an appearance in the middle of the 25th’s night. A “borderline conversation” with overall MC, King Kong’s Nishino Akihiro unfolded.

The rendezvous with GACKT was at his own private studio. With the appearance of the studio being luxurious beyond imagination, along with being late to their scheduled meeting time by 5 minutes, Nishino remained scared initially but GACKT welcomed them with a smile as he said 「I’ve waited for an hour or even two. There’s a lot going on」.

When GACKT is mentioned, many “rowdy rumours” about him have been whispered in truth since he was young, and Nishino’s interest in this naturally steers him towards danger. When Nishino asked about 「experiences in getting into a quarrel with a famous person」, GACKT said 「If you’re rude, I’ll “educate” you. It doesn’t matter whether you appear on TV or not」. He then added, 「I’ll be better if Japan could feel the sense of crisis more. When I’m overseas there are many dangerous occasions」, and while sounding the warning bell, he also spoke in humour about the time in Lithuania when he felt like his life was in danger, and about the time when he was in Los Angeles with YOSHIKI and a huge brawl involving different races started in front of their eyes.

GACKT has now relocated overseas, and showed his private side in the studio that he uses while he’s in Japan. Even as he said 「What are you here for? You ruined my Christmas. In the precious final moments of Christmas, what the hell is this」, he greatly entertained the viewers who tuned in with a lot of frank conversation that is definitely not possible on TV.
