GACKT Official news update. Translation below
We extend our deepest sympathies to everyone affected by the Kumamoto Earthquake that occurred on July 28, 2026.
For this tour, we decided to allocate a portion of the proceeds from the “Black Pirates” game, along with donations collected in boxes placed at the concert venues, toward relief efforts.
For GACKT, the stage in Kurume—where he performed shortly after the earthquake—was a new venue. The time spent with the audience in this city, located near Kumamoto, served as the starting point for this initiative.
Having previously supported the restoration of Kumamoto Castle and the reconstruction of Shuri Castle, we are continuing our efforts with that same commitment.
We express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed.
【Concerts with Donation Boxes】
August 2: Kurume City Plaza, The Grand Hall (Fukuoka)
August 11: Bunkyo Civic Hall, Main Hall (Tokyo)
August 15: Kariya City Cultural Center Iris, Main Hall (Aichi)
August 18: Sapporo Education and Culture Hall, Main Hall (Hokkaido)
August 29: Tokyo Tatemono Brillia HALL, Main Hall (Osaka)
【Total Amount of Relief Funds】
2,362,286 JPY
The entire amount collected has been transferred by Billboard Classics to the bank account designated by Kumamoto Prefecture for “2026 Kumamoto Earthquake Relief Funds” and donated to the affected areas.
We sincerely hope for the earliest possible recovery and reconstruction of the affected regions.
