GACKT Official X Update. Translation below
[People seem to worry about others, but they’re actually projecting their own values.]
I received a message from an acquaintance I hadn’t heard from in a long time.
But then I heard:
“I heard GACKT has gained weight.
Are you okay? You should lose weight! Lol”
I had no idea what he was talking about, so I asked,
“What’s up all of a sudden?
Did something bad happen?
Is work still not going well?”
He replied,
“No, I saw it on the news, so I thought I’d contact you!”
I looked it up, and there was an article about me that was completely irrelevant.
So that’s what he wanted to hear from me after so long…
I replied to him:
“I’ve never been fat in my life.
In fact, since I only eat one meal a day, I spend more time thinking about how to avoid losing weight.
Thanks for worrying about me.
You should take care of your health too.”
Of course, I’m sure he wasn’t worried, but just teasing. Humans are fascinating creatures.
We think we’re looking at others,
but in reality, we’re looking at ourselves.
By the way,
I don’t particularly want to become muscular.
I’m just keeping my body in shape every day so that I can do what I want to do until I die.
Training isn’t anything special either.
It’s like brushing your teeth.
That’s the feeling.
GACKT, 53 years old.
Well, that’s about it.
【人は他人を心配しているようで、
自分の価値観を投影している】随分と連絡を取っていない知り合いから
久しぶりに連絡が来た。と思ったら、
「GACKTさんも太ったらしいですね。
大丈夫ですか？痩せた方がいいですよ！笑」とのこと。
