GACKT Official Weibo update. Translation below:

Arrived in London.
It was a 7 hours flight, but I felt as if I arrived immediately.
For me, this is the longest timing I can endure.

I took off from NY at 22 hours and, I reached London at 10 in the morning.
Because there’s time difference, so I don’t know exactly how long was the flight.

After going through custom smoothly, I booked a car from Uber, but I didn’t know where the pick-up place was, I ended walking round and round at the same place.
Well, this always happen.

Finally I got on to the car safely, and headed towards the town in London.
The town is very beautiful, and every building has its style.
This could be said that the way to properly preserve the architecture and culture, is because the country is firmly regulating the appearance of the building.
Keeping the history, renovating only the inside to make it livable.

Then,
meanwhile, I’ve reached the heart of London.
After checking into the hotel, I took a shower and went out for a walk.
I’m only walking around the town, but I got moved beyond words.

I thought, as I drank tea in the cafe nearby.
It will be great if there’s good food……

Many people say that the rice in England is horrible.
This is not only in England.

Of course,
that’s only an opinion, but it’s because of this reason I want to look for a restaurant that serve delicious food.

If I want to find it, I’m sure I can find it.
Yes, believe, look for a delicious restaurant.

As I was drinking my tea, I looked up and saw two men talking, that scene was too beautiful, I couldn’t stop myself and took a picture.

“This could be make into a drawing…”

The words escape from my mouth.

Even so, it’s still pretty cold here…
Why is it still so cold in July?
I can’t believe it’s so cold.

Anyway I have to buy a thick jacket, or I’ll catch a cold with these thin shirts.

I walked toward D&G, and thought that they will have thick jackets there,
but the first shop only carries the new concept of formal line,
I couldn’t find anything.

Instead I found something interesting.

Turned out to be…,
there’s a barber in DOLCE&GABBANA…
I have never seen this before.

I said to the shop staff,

is this “purely a display or do you really cut hair here?”

“Of course you can cut hair here!”

He replied with confidence.
Really? I chatted with the staff.
It looks like there’s a similar shop in Milan, and using the same concept they opened a second one here.

This kind of combination is a unique idea of the present age.
Yeah, interesting.

London is interesting.
I can always feel the excitement.
I think Hotei Tomoyasu likes this city too…
Just as expected.

I’ll continue to explore zone 3…
Here I go.
