GACKT OFFICIAL X - SEP 30 2024

GACKT Official X update. Translation below

Otani finished the regular season with a historic record of 54/59, the first in MLB history.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who was excited by the news that the record was being updated every day.
As a fellow Japanese, I'm happy and proud.

Just looking at the numbers, it's a great achievement.
And what's amazing about him is not only the numbers, but also the tireless effort and training he puts into achieving this achievement, and the personality he continues to show us.

It would be a waste for us to just look at this achievement and say, "That home run is amazing!" and leave it at that.

If we really want to respect him, what do we do every day to achieve this achievement, and what did we have to accumulate to get to that point?
I think we need to know his way of thinking and process, incorporate those ideas into ourselves, and put them into practice.

It's the same as if you want to become a professional or achieve great success in business, you need to know what thoughts, consciousness, and ideas people who are producing results have when they do it, and then put them into practice and continue to do so yourself.

It's true that what he has achieved is incredibly amazing and wonderful.
I can understand why people are so happy about it.
The impact that Ohtani has had on baseball and the world of sports is immeasurable.

To begin with, it is extremely rare for someone of a new generation to have such a big influence.

However, if the people receiving the influence are not sensitive enough and are not prepared to accept the positive influence,

it will end up as mere strong admiration or a temporary fad.

What is necessary is to act on the inspiration they received at that time and continue to work hard for the future.

If the younger generations who have been influenced by him realize this and put it into practice, they too will be able to achieve some kind of result.

The moment you take action and continue, your chances of success increase dramatically.

And this leads to a "chain of success."

Of course, the same goes for people older than him.

If you want to praise him, before you say "I'm just...", I think the best way to show respect for Ohtani is to put some kind of practice and continue it, in other words, to "take action."

Once again, congratulations to Otani!

GACKT Official X update. Translation below

When a price is listed, there is usually a hidden price.

In fact, some collection cards, including Pokemon cards, are worth over 1 billion yen.

I have a friend who deals in collection cards, and he already offered me over 500K USD two years ago.

When I asked him how much he would sell them for, he said it would be over 2M USD.

It's an amazing story, but it's not surprising if the conditions between the buyer and seller are met.

Well, it's something that people who aren't interested won't understand, but the more buyers there are, the higher the price.
That's all there is to it.
The problem is when to sell, and it's not uncommon for prices to collapse all at once.

Richard's prices have fallen so much now that they are incomparable to two years ago when the prices were so high.

No one can predict when the prices will collapse, and it's true that there are more people who are not interested in selling than those who are buying them for the purpose of reselling.
People who are not interested in selling start selling after the price collapse begins, so the price collapse accelerates.

It's an interesting world.
This is how things in the world are valued.

GACKT Official X update. Translation below

I'm happy that Okinawa is ranked number one in child-rearing ability, but in Okinawa, where the divorce rate is the highest in the country, the underlying fear may simply be that "men who don't take part in child-rearing will be abandoned."

Times have changed a lot.
It's natural for people to be involved in child-rearing, regardless of gender.
Especially in Okinawa, where the rate of dual-income households is high, men cannot use work as an excuse for not participating in child-rearing.

It's natural to work, and housework is shared between the two people.
We need to recognize that this is natural.
Low incomes in Okinawa are still a serious problem, and wages remain low despite the abnormal rise in prices and rents.

Of course, this is probably not limited to Okinawa, and I hope that the new prime minister will do something to solve this problem.
The reality is that there is very little hope.
The fact that people think that nothing will change no matter who is in charge is a serious problem.
Change! Japan.

It must have been hard on this crew member.

The fact that they were found in the morning means that they were floating on the pitch black ocean.

I also once drifted at sea for seven hours when I was 26 years old and in Okinawa during a training camp.

When I think back to that time, it still sends shivers down my spine.

Luckily, after seven hours, I happened to reach the shore, but I almost gave up many times in the ocean.

If I had been unlucky and the waves had gone the wrong way, I probably would have died.

Since then, I never went out on a boat where I couldn't see the shore.
I also lost all desire to have a cruise ship.

The ocean is scary because you can't measure time, you don't know the direction, and there is no information.

It's not just the ocean. Whether it's a lake, pond, or river, wherever there is water, one wrong step can lead to a fatal accident.

Every year, I see news about people who have died at sea or in lakes, but I can't imagine that those people were letting their guard down.

That's how much risk there is around water.
Don't take it lightly. If you think you'll be fine, something terrible will happen.

I want to tell my 26-year-old self.
Everyone, be careful.
