GACKT Official X update. Translation below

The thing I was most happy about when I appeared live on M Station yesterday was being able to meet SHOTARO from RIIZE for the first time in a while.

In fact, my tours are said to be by far the toughest in the industry.

All of them say in unison that if they can do GACKT’s work, they can do any job.

Even during his time as a touring dancer, which was tough for anyone, he always had a smile on his face and lived each day to the fullest.

After the tour, he told me that he wanted to go to Korea and compete.

I was surprised that SHOTARO, the youngest of the dancers, decided to jump into a harsh environment to make his dream come true.

And I was even more surprised by his growth after I sent him off, saying that he was sure he could pull it off.

It’s scary for anyone to jump into an environment where they don’t know the language.

However, he exemplified the meaning of not giving up and continuing to pursue his will.

I would like to send a big cheer to him from the bottom of my heart.

The same ambivalence in the dressing room is still there.

The other kids were all good kids too, and I was really glad that I was able to meet such wonderful members.

I want you to continue to pursue the path you believe in.

Wow.
He hates himself for being old enough to say something like this. . .
Well, it’s true that I’m getting older.

Please forgive me for being friendly once in a while.

Everyone please take care of him too.
He is truly a good boy who is second to none.
