“Amasu... itami ni〜 itsuka no kioku ga〜♫“
Beep...
Yes, he~llo~.
Ah~ senpai.
Thank you for the previous day.
Right now I'm on the move.
I'm heading to dance rehearsals.
Eh?
“You're doing rehearsals even now?”
... you ask.
No, rehearsals have ended.

“Odoru〜 Koi no Furai de〜♫ Kimi ga〜 ma〜gire〜♫･･･ “ (Koi no FRIDAY)
Beep...
Yes, hello.
Ah, big bro,
happy belated birthday to you.
Looks like you had quite a lot of fun.
Sorry,
I couldn't make it because of work.
Eh?
“By the way, GACKT.
I saw something in the news online.
You're doing another movie?”
... you say.
Yes,
we'll be filming in Okinawa.
The contents of the work got me interested too but,
more than anything,
if I could contribute
back to Okinawa through this...
Thinking of that, I accepted the job.
Anyway, I'll do what I can
as much as I can.
Since I too have no idea
how this work will eventually turn out.
Please look forward to it.
“Is working on a movie tough?”
... you ask...
Mm...
for dramas they have lots of plus points but,
producing a movie is more enjoyable to me.
Especially when we're always staying out at filming locations
various things will come to mind,
besides, on the whole the way time is used is different.
“What do you mean by that?”
Eh...
Comparing a drama to a movie,
there's an overwhelmingly larger amount of script for movies.
Because instead of using it to show a certain situation
most of it is used to have progression through conversation.
That's why,
even for actors, dramas are tough.
Furthermore,
filming time stretches from morning until night
and their time is constantly stuck there.
For movies,
it takes time to set things up too,
so actors
often can use that spare time
to do their own stuff.
Besides,
we're not really chased for lines.
Well,
when I was doing it in Hollywood,
because everything was in English
it was so tough that it was killing me.
“Heh〜, is that so.
Ah, come to think of I saw it on YouTube!
That MAX-something!!”
you say...
Thank you.
That YouTube movie too
was supposed to tie up my time for a long day but
that was filmed in two days.
We were filming at a frightening momentum.
Because we had no time.
“You can film for such a movie in 2 days?”
... you say.
This time,
because I'm guest starring out of friendship,
my appearance was short.
That's why I finished in 2 days.
“Ah, come to think of it,
Yuuki-kun made an appearance too right?”
... you say...
Yes,
the Kimisawa Yuuki who I introduced previously,
also made a guest appearance in this movie.
That guy,
also had fun filming it.
“Despite that, doing it in 2 days is amazing”
... you say... ...
But,
preparations took quite an amount of time.
Before filming they have to adjust the costume,
adjust the image.
“As expected setting up takes up time”
... you say...
Yes. It takes up quite a lot of time.
But,
if the setup is done properly,
the progression after that can go quite well so.
“By the way,
are you in rehearsals now?”
I haven't started rehearsals yet.
This time throughout my stay in Japan
I've been filming footage to be used in the LAST VISUALIVE.
Eh?
“Do you have to use so many videos for your live?”
... you say.
Yes, I use quite a lot of it.
Because this time I'm tying together the story of Yoshitsune,
I'm filming those videos too.
That's really tough.
Everyday,
we're filming from morning until the middle of the night.
As my health is also broken
its quite a tough continuous shoot.
But,
it's fun.
I was able to meet with a lot of other cast members for the first time after a long time too.
“What kind of live will it be??”
... you ask.

“Sonna kotojya kore〜 kara〜 ♫"
Beep...
Yes, hello.
Oh~ It's been awhile.
It's rare to get a call from you.
Eh?
“Big bro Gaku, you're in Taiwan right?
Shall I go to Taiwan too?”
... you say.
No,
yesterday I came back to KL.

“Kimi dake no〜 Boku de iru kara〜 ♫“
Beep...
Yes, hello.
Ah, senpai (senior), it's been awhile.
Eh?
“I saw GACKT on TV in a press conference yesterday!!”
... you say.
Thank you.
I'm glad.
Having you speak of me like that.
I've been rewarded for bustling around from morning.
For the press event,
I definitely have to start preparing from early in the morning,
so it was tough because I was pretty sleepy.
Because I was doing recordings until morning the previous day.
But,
it came to be quite a great press event.
Also, the CM came out quite well.
“Yes yes!
I contacted you with the thought of saying that!”
... you say...
Since this time it was a web CM,
it was fun.
Being able to express various things.
A web CM,
in comparison with a television CM,
takes a longer time to film in itself though.
Correspondingly, because it allows for more to be expressed
I really like it a lot.
Well,
though the shoot itself is quite tough.
In reality, the production side
has a lower budget than a television CM would so
because there are lots of things that we absolutely have to do
I think its tough though.
“By the way
when was this filmed?”
... you ask...
This
was shot during the year end right before I went back overseas.
So it's filmed exactly
one month ago.
Recently,
the cycle of creating and releasing
is short.
Be it in the world of film
or the world of music,
the time between the work being created and released
is becoming really short.
For example, in the past,
if the time frame from the time an album is produced
until the time it is released into the world
is less than half a year at least
you'll get the feeling that
it should not be considered as complete.
But,
now we can even release
something that was completed just 5 days ago
and present it to the world is that fresh state.
Times are changing.
“Heh〜〜〜 Is that so?
But if its the music industry time is also needed
to be spent on making the packaging right?”
... you say...
Only Japan
is still making and selling
CD packaging.
Looking internationally,
there are barely any places left
that still have packaging businesses.
CD shops
also barely exist.
Its the same for film.
Until now,
the only country that still does movie packaging
is Japan.
It's really unusual.
Somehow.
To a large extent,
in terms of worldview,
you realise that its an old world.
Take for example,
if you met people from a country
that still listens to cassette tapes
you'll feel the same way right?
“I see, so that's what it is...”
For example,
if this was happening in developing countries
in South East Asia
it makes sense.
But that's not it.
It's a weird occurrence
that this only applies to Japan.
Even the countries that are not developed yet in South East Asia
are not countries that sell packaging.
Everyone downloads.
This is the universal standard.
Even in the rental industry its the same.
Because everything is downloaded.
And there's more.
Japan's internet infrastructure is
a top standard of the world.
In other words,
even though the download environment
is one of the top 5 in the world,
the sales methods are still
like living fossils.
The entertainment industry is
not keeping up with the trends of the world.
It's completely floating.In other countries,
they do more downloads,
though it takes an overwhelming amount of time.Despite that,
packaging has disappeared.
This brings up a sense of discomfort.
“That kind of displacement with the world,
is it something that is often related to Japan?”
It is.
A lot.
For example,
let's take the automakers.
Now, internationally
everyone's switching to automatic operations.
In America
automation will be realised
within perhaps another 5 years.
Accidents will be reduced,
and a new lifestyle will replace the old.
In other words,
until now we've always had to drive on our own but,
if we can automatically be brought to the office,
you can sleep in the car,
or do other various things right?
