GACKT pokes at Taka who just lost weight!? The results of staying up overnight revealed in a game battle with TakaToshi! This GACKT also says 「I try not to get infatuated with my girlfriend」

On June 22, the launch declaration event for the new smartphone application 「Fight League」 was held in Akihabara, where GACKT, Taka & Toshi, HIKAKIN, and the Yoshida Brothers attended.

After the launch declaration, the performance by the Yoshida Brothers started. It’s the first time that the Yoshida Brothers were performing in such a layout but with lots of powerful projection mapping filling the stage area, they gave a powerful performance and the venue was overflowing with applause.

This event was split into 2 parts, with a concept introduction in the first part, along with a tag battle being held between the team of GACKT and Hiromisu-san, who was selected from the general public, and the team of Taka & Toshi.

When asked about his goal for the tag battle, GACKT gave an enthusiasm-filled reply, saying 「I practiced for today so I think there’s no way I will lose. Because I’ve played it for a week without sleeping. I wonder if I can say it like this. Because I’d hate to be called weak despite that I did the CM. I’ll show you the results of staying up overnight」.
On the other hand, Taka said 「Since May 24… I lost 8kg!」, revealing that he started dieting on his own because of a medical examination that diagnosed him with prediabetes. At his comments, which was unrelated to the game, an instinctual interjection came in 「Like I’d know!」.

The battle began, and the GACKT team won with an overwhelming difference. He flashed a peace sign in joy, and commented comfortably, 「What I could really tell, was that TakaToshi didn’t practice. I knew that it would be an easy win. That said, I’m upset that you’re dieting.」.
Taka, who was in a daze after the battle ended, commented 「I was told not to say this but, I was told that I shouldn’t win against a great man like GACKT-san」, and again, an interjection full of chagrin came in, 「No one said that! Instead I said that you should definitely win!」.

GACKT didn’t expect that he would get addicted to Fight League but he ended up staying up all night. He also has all the characters that could be collected.
When asked about what he has been rather infatuated with thus far, he replied 「Girlfriend. When I get infatuated, I end up like this (in a pose where I can only see that person). That’s why I try not to get infatuated.」 giving a GACKT-like meaningful and profound answer.
He ended off with 「I think that a game like this, where you can communicate and play at the same time, is one that our present lives need.」.

In the second part, HIKAKIN tags with a HIKAKIN fan in a team to battle against the Famitsu team.
The fan Masahiro-san, said that he has been a fan since 2 years ago, and said with a smile 「I’m happy. (Having a tag team with a fan like) this has never been done thus far. Today, I’ll do my best and create memories.」.

Halfway, HIKAKIN accidentally attacked his own ally but the HIKAKIN team won.
He was happy but he appeared embarrassed, saying 「It would have been perfect if not for my mistake」.
He then ended with 「It’s being released today, so everyone, download it and one day we will battle!」.
