ItalianoGACKT Official news update. Translation below
The album “GACKT PHILHARMONIC 2025 – Demon King Symphony,” which was held at Sumida Triphony Hall on April 13th and released as a live recording on July 4th this year, will now be released as a video on November 12th.
The video “GACKT PHILHARMONIC 2025 – Demon King Symphony” was recorded at the live performance with orchestra “GACKT PHILHARMONIC 2025,” which was held at Sumida Triphony Hall on April 13th. It packages the stunning vocals, the collaboration with a luxurious full orchestra, and GACKT’s appearance as he embodies the presence of the Demon King to the fullest, just as if he were there.
Furthermore, Yoneda Satoshi, who conducted this performance, won first place at the Besançon International Conductors Competition, which was held in Besançon, France on September 27th. GACKT also took to social media to praise this remarkable achievement at the competition, which is known as “the gateway to success for young conductors around the world” and has previously been won by world-renowned conductors Seiji Ozawa and Yutaka Sado.
The film will be released in three formats: DVD, Blu-ray, and the KIWAMI version.
The KIWAMI version will include bonus footage featuring GACKT-only angles. You can enjoy seven songs excerpted from the main feature, captured on a camera specially designed for GACKT. The KIWAMI version will also include three postcards, as well as a 40-page mini photo booklet, making it a very voluminous release.
It has also been announced that Maou Symphony will be performed again at Sumida Triphony Hall on December 23rd. Following the performance, there was strong demand from fans and related parties for a repeat performance, which has now been realized.
As with the previous performance, Maou himself will be joined by band members from YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz, as well as an orchestra, performing alongside the Grand Philharmonic Tokyo. In addition to the full orchestra’s black attire, masks, and standing performance that created a huge stir in the audience last time, this performance will also feature an all-standing first floor, an unusual move for a classical concert. The boundary between the stage and the audience will disappear, creating an other-dimensional space where people can share in musical ecstasy.
This work brings to light the true essence of GACKT as a musician and artist.
We hope you will become intoxicated with the world of Maou Symphony.
