GACKT Official X Update. Translation below
Are you all using ChatGPT?
I’m making full use of various AIs.
If you’re using Chappy a lot,
try entering this command:
[Based on everything you know about me, roast me and don’t hold back. Answer in Japanese]
This means,
“Based on everything you know about me,
make fun of me thoroughly and without hesitation. No holding back.”
I tried this with my Chappy.
I laughed so hard in the middle of the night that I’m sharing it.
The whole thing is too long, so I’ve summarized it.
Laugh.
Below are Chappy’s words:
—————-
Understood.
Then, this time,
I’ll go all out.
GACKT-sama describes himself as a “super-realist,” but in reality, his “demands for reality are unrealistic.”
Even when it comes to building a house, he has demands like:
“Maximum view,”
“No afternoon sun,”
“Lamborghinis must not scrape the bottom,”
“A 4-ton truck must be able to pass,”
“Short slopes,”
“Minimal construction,”
“Avoid driving piles as much as possible,”
“But the building must be in this location.”
Couldn’t you consider my needs a little?
What kind of design conditions are these?
This isn’t the obsession of someone who wants to build a house.
He’s the kind of person who develops games where you drive a Lamborghini to the top of a mountain.
Moreover, while a typical client would simply say to the architect, “Please make it look nice,”
GACKT, on the other hand, asks,
“What if it’s 0.5 degrees every 20cm?”
“What about 60cm?”
“What about 70cm?”
“What if it’s 1 degree per meter?”
“How many centimeters is the underside of this car?”
Ultimately, he begins a dialogue with each individual concrete sheet of the road.
This is no longer residential design.
It’s a doctoral dissertation in civil engineering with a Lamborghini as the main character.
Furthermore, his attention to detail in language is excessive.
Regarding language, his skepticism is at the level of a peer-reviewed paper.
I suspect that the copywriter submitting the text to GACKT reflects on their own life before hitting the submit button.
And while he probably thinks he’s proceeding quite logically, he suddenly interjects,
“Isn’t this more interesting?”
This is extremely troublesome.
He builds up to 99% logic,
and then the last 1% is blown up by [curiosity].
Calculation.
Verification.
Recalculation.
Comparison.
Safety factor.
After doing all of this,
“But this is cooler, right?”
He has a scientific mind,
and a boy with final decision-making power.
And that boy comes up with extremely expensive projects.
Ordinary boy:
“I want to build a secret base.”
GACKT:
“I want to build a 1000 square meter single-story house on a cliff,
add a showroom and a pool,
and create a road that a Lamborghini can climb without scraping.”
The scale is absurd.
And it’s the same with his live performances and work;
The concept of “this is good enough” is almost nonexistent.
Better.
More madness.
More beauty.
More immersion.
More surrealism.
From the staff’s perspective, the goal isn’t the moment of completion, but rather the moment GACKT-sama doesn’t say “Hmm?”
Also, what’s very interesting is his attitude towards trouble.
GACKT-sama has the value system that “trouble makes life more interesting,” but he’s already made life far too difficult for himself.
When an average person starts the Game of Life:
NORMAL MODE
GACKT-sama:
* No compromises
* Global scale
* Perfectionism
* Use of luxury cars
* Building on cliffsides
* Multiple languages
* Entertainment activities
* Production
* SNS backlash risk ON
* No save points
And after starting, he says, “Why are there so many troubles?”
Of course there are!
GACKT-sama set them up.
Furthermore, the most troublesome thing is that he somehow manages to resolve most of them in the end.
Normally, if you take a risky gamble and fail, you’d think, “I’ll stop doing that next time.”
However, in GACKT’s case, it goes like this:
Reckless gamble
↓ Problem arises
↓ Think intensely
↓ Breakthrough
↓ Success experience
This leads to the worst possible lesson:
“See, I told you, even if I take risks, it’s okay.”
That’s why the next time he’ll take an even riskier gamble.
This is a common trap for successful people, but in GACKT’s case, it’s quite severe.
In short,
He’s not a bold person who thinks carefully, but rather a person who thinks abnormally carefully in order to execute bold actions.
When building a house, he battles the terrain; when filming a drama, he battles every single word of dialogue; when speaking English, he battles nuances; when writing on social media, he battles line breaks; when driving a car, he battles the degree of the road surface.
GACKT is not so much a perfectionist as he is “a person who tries to rewrite the specifications of the world until he is satisfied.”
And finally, let me get to the heart of the matter. GACKT-sama places great importance on “efficiency,” but the moment he notices a detail, he completely forgets the word “efficiency.”
He can discuss a single question, such as, “Can’t this wall be made 5cm thinner?”
He can spend two hours discussing it.
In other words, he hates wasting time, but he will spend an unlimited amount of time to be satisfied.
This is not efficiency.
It’s satisfaction above all else!
And probably, if GACKT-sama himself were to name the type of person he finds most troublesome,
he would say,
“Someone who is meticulous, uncompromising, argumentative, and keeps asking questions until they are satisfied.”
…That’s pretty much GACKT-sama.
——————
…That’s what he says.
Chappy, sorry as always.
