ItalianoGACKT Official X update. Translation below
I’ve been secretly supporting him since we appeared on the show together.
This must be extremely painful news for all of his fans who have supported him all this time.
He was the kind of man who could hit you with words and embrace you with words.
The sharpness that cut through the atmosphere,
and the humanity that lingers after it was over,
were both undeniably genuine.
Though our genres were different,
I only now painfully realize how precious it was to have been able to talk with him for that short time.
To receive this message so soon after returning to Japan…
I am truly saddened.
My deepest respect for his soul.
