[Q] Will there be any more fan club events?

GACKT ONLINE G&L MEMBERS CLUB members-only events will also be held.
We will also be planning meet-and-greets and other events that are only open to members on tours and at events♪ (separate from ticket privileges).
Conventional fan events and fan meetings will be resumed based on the Corona situation.

[Q] Will there be no more GG MAGAZINE (bulletin), birthday cards, New Year’s cards, and renewal privileges for the previous LOVERS ROOM contents?

Unlike the previous G&LOVERS, this site will be reborn as a site that delivers live information on GACKT in real time!
Therefore, it will be reborn as a completely new service, without taking over the past contents.

GG MAGAZINE (Bulletin) will be delivered to you in a different form.
On your birthday, you will receive a video message from GACKT♪
New Year’s greeting cards will be sent exclusively to members who enter their mailing address!

Since this is a monthly site, there will no longer be renewal privileges, but you will receive monthly content in real time!
Instead of renewal privileges, members will be able to accumulate points for each renewal and redeem them for goods and various events.
We will announce the details of the point system at a later date.

[Q] What will happen to the ticket priority?

We will introduce the privilege of purchasing priority tickets for concerts earlier than before.

We will also provide live streaming from backstage, rehearsal, backstage, etc. at the concert site to make your day exciting even before the performance♪.
This has not been possible with previous fan sites. (TT)

[Q] What will happen to my membership number and membership card?

It will be a new digital membership card. Your membership number will be given a new number.

Other personal information can be registered voluntarily.
Please note that personal information already registered with G&LOVERS will not be transferred.

Please enter only the minimum required personal information to simplify the application process and eliminate the risk of information leakage.

[Q] I am concerned that if I calculate the monthly fee as an annual fee, the price will increase over the existing membership fee.

Since you will be able to enter and leave the membership only for the period you wish, the annual membership fee may be lower than before.
It will allow us to provide you with better real-time information on GACKT than ever before!

[Q] Is it possible to subscribe to the monthly subscription only for the advance lottery for live concerts?

No problem at all to use it that way!

However, once you see our service, you will not be able to stop….
We aim to operate the site in such a way.

If you are a G&LOVERS member whose membership expiration date is after November 2022, you can continue to use the new service without paying a new membership fee until the expiration date.
