GACKT Official X Update. Translation below
Last night,
the Monday 9pm drama *Black Trick*
finally premiered.
Actually,
something a bit mysterious happened yesterday.
It was 4:00 AM.
I had arrived at the Fuji TV (CX) studios for a promotional appearance
and was walking down a narrow corridor
on my way to the *Mezamashi TV* set.
A man
was walking toward me.
With my poor eyesight,
I couldn’t tell who it was.
And yet,
“I recognize this atmosphere…”
I felt a distinct sense of nostalgia.
As we passed each other,
we exchanged greetings:
“Good morning.”
I was incredibly curious.
I asked the producer,
“Who was that just now?”
“That was Mr. Sorimachi. He’s here to promote *GTO*…”
That was the moment.
“Ah!!”
Memories from twenty-eight years ago came flooding back.
A summer night when I was twenty-five.
I was walking with a friend
behind the Tokyu Hands in Shibuya.
A man
wearing a cap pulled low over his face
was walking toward us alone.
I couldn’t see his face at all.
But
he was enveloped in a unique, striking aura.
“Who is this guy…?”
I thought this as we passed him,
and when I mentioned it to my friend a moment later,
“That’s Takashi Sorimachi!”
came the reply.
“Huh…
So there really are people who exude an aura like that…”
I still vividly remember
thinking those very words.
In fact,
I had never worked with Sorimachi-kun before,
nor had I ever run into him on set.
Yesterday,
I was surprised by that sense of familiarity
I felt before I even saw his face.
Perhaps
we remember the atmosphere a person carries
even before we remember their face.
An aura that hasn’t changed in twenty-eight years.
It was a truly mysterious
start to the day.
昨夜、
月9ドラマ【ブラックトリック】が
いよいよ始まった。実は昨日、
ちょっと不思議な出来事があった。朝4時。
番宣でCXに入り、
『めざましテレビ』のスタジオへ向かうため、
狭い廊下を歩いていた。正面から、
ひとりのオトコが歩いてくる。目の悪いボクには、
誰なのか分からない。… pic.twitter.com/x5NrDkT8eC— GACKT (@GACKT) July 21, 2026
