GACKT Official Twitter update. Translation below

This happened at the airport in Manila.

Two cute girls appeared, saying
“We’re huge fans, please take a picture with us ❤️”

After agreeing, one of the girls called out someone loudly,
“Daddy-!😊”

Even if I’m not sure how she meant with “daddy”.

For sure it was too easy to tell from his appearance,
and I turned him down, saying,
“No, no, no, definitely not with those tattoos.”
That kind of judgement is something you need to do in my line of work.

I hate the fact that the media is so ready to go wild over every little thing, as if to say: ‘We’ve been waiting for this!’

But this culture is so deeply rooted in Japan that it has no hope to be changed

Next time,
if a person like that asks me for a photo,
in this day and age I might need to turn them down with a smile,
saying, “Oh no, my office won’t allow me to take photos with people with scary faces ❤️”
It may be necessary to make an habit of smiling and saying no. Get out of it! Japanese who can’t say no.
