I would definitely encourage you to look at more of his music and some of his acting roles. Also I laughed a bit when you said he was a vampire because he use to tell everyone he was one and that he's over 200 years old lol, explains alot!

    Gackt writes and composes nearly all of his songs; if memory serves there are only 3 songs in his entire catalog he didn't write himself. As far as playing on the tracks he does play some but his band plays on the tracks for the studio recordings. And the wiki page you were looking at is in need of update because he recently released his 48th single "Original Sin". Which was used as the opening theme to the first 12 episode,s and the closing for the last 12 episodes of the anime Trickster. He also provided the voice for the main villain of that series by the way. I recommend checking his IMDB page if you want to checkout any of his acting roles.

They've already disbanded, but they did something called Neo-Japanesque, which is exactly that, the mixture of traditional with new. Their songs are just beautiful. Uzu, Sakura Zukiyo and Shiroi Uso are some of their best.

    MacRyanMac, regarding your question about if he plays those instruments during recording, the answer is it depends on the need on the recording itself, there are songs where he needs to play the guitar, like for example, one of his guitarist is also his violinist, so IF needed, he plays the guitars on recording while his guitarist plays the violin (same song). though for the piano part, all of them are played by him, because piano is Gaku's major 🤗

    I know this video is old but I keep coming across your reaction videos (MIYAVI most recently) but your reactions are so cute, as in a child seeing something new for the first time and it’s opening up a new world for them. Lol It’s giving me nostalgia of when I first heard of “Gahkto”-san back in ‘03. He was such an enigma back then that one of his (non existent) profiles stated he was 300 years old and I was absolutely convinced he was, like a vampire. He really hasn’t aged since I first heard of him. Only thing that makes me eh about him is that he was my ex’s favorite singer but...eh. I forgot how operatic his voice is. I’d recommend more groups/singers but you seemed to have covered a lot already. Didn’t see FEMM (far east mention mannequins) but I’m sure you came across them in the last few years.

(It will turn 18 on 8/11/17 actually lol) But if you're a fan of Final Fantasy (Specifically FFVII), it is known his hair was styled like Clouds, since he is a huge fan of the series! In Redemption (which was also a song for the Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core game for PSP) the outfit he is wearing was actually the outfit worn by Genesis from the game (The Character who was actually modeled off Gackt!) You can actually find photos of it online ^^ Again I don't know if anyone else had mentioned this but, yeah! :D

    On top of the music videos, I watched concerts from him and saw him piano and kicking ass playing every instrument of a band. I also saw him playing some shamisen. Apparently he plays more music instruments. The music video "Redemption" made me an instant Gackt fan. The second music video I saw from him was Returner. Apparently "Returner" has been beating records in Japan music history. When I first saw one of his concerts, the crowd kept yelling his name before he got on stage. Then it was that he is very famous in Japan. Gackt is crazy talented and has a lot of discipline. He is very serious about intense regular physical training and staying flexible (splits and stuff...). He often appears on Japanese TV shows and always wins their games. On KZread you can find some TV shows he appeared on and even if you don't understand Japanese, you will have an idea of the physical stuff he's up to. It really shows how fit and flexible he is. He got has a 2nd degree black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do (a Korean martial art that is somewhat similar to one of the karate styles (kyokushan, etc...)). This is Gackt!

His birthday is on Dec. 7th, unfortunately he passed away. So if you happen to make a video for Kagrra, I can't wait to see it, and I feel like it will bring back nostalgic memories for some of us Visual Kei fans. :) I just found you today and I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS.

    Gackt's voice is my favourite out of all the singers I know~ And his live performances are amazing too! If you want to react to more of his songs, I recommend "P.S. I Love You" and "Arrow". "Kimi Ga Matte Iru Kara" is also really good, you might want to check out the unplugged version with English subtitles. :)

    He has a full band as back-up. You need to check his live videos to see them clearly, but the entire band is in videos like Redemption and Black Stone. I personally love the guitarist Chachamaru and the violinist Yuu. There's also a clip of Gackt and Yuu playing a violin duet.

    He does use that microphone, but typically only for that song. He has two personal band mates named You and Chachamaru that play his strings, then he typically hires out for people to fill the rest of the instruments. Gotta say, he’s my favorite J-Rock artist

    Yes! Gackt is great, and if you ever decide to do a continuation of this video (because with Gackt, there is so much going on lol) I would suggest: Solo Music videos: Ghost, Hakuro, and Setsugekka are my favourites, alongside Mizerable, White Lovers and Episode.0. You might also be interested to know that aside from Malice Mizer, he also participated in/created a band called YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz, for which I would recommend you definitely at least check out their song "The End of the Day." Lastly, Gackt (Gakuto Kamui) actually is the 'voice template' for his very own Vocaloid, known as Gakupo Kamui (Lmao) You weren't lying when you said that he does everything, it would take a few videos to cover even half of what he has done since his debut!

Despite the angry expression he sometime makes, and talk about things that may seem inappropriate, from I what can can tell, he is kind, caring, protective and a respectful person. He seems to be a really funny a cool man. I've seen many of his appearance of TV shows of radio interviews and this is how I got those impressions about him. Gackt's public detailed explanation makes me laugh a lot and brings back many great memories of girls of girls who kissed me and only one captivated my heart with a single kiss.

But yeah I fell in love with his voice, his aesthetic, and the emotions in his music. He describes himself as a samurai vampire lol so theres a mix of gothic rock and traditional sounds in his music. My personal favourite song from him is Setsugekka End of Silence. But I have so many songs I love from him.

I recommend one of their two most famous songs "One Night Carnival" or "Koibito" then a more dynamic song like "Delicate ni Kisu Shite" or "Oretachi ni ha Doyoubi Shika Nai" their instrumental "Asayake Banzai" (there's a really clear and pretty live video here on YT), and maybe some of their slapstick humor, like their cover of "YATTA!" Their singer SHOW-yan has had other character projects, like DJ OZMA and Yazima Beauty Salon, which are even heavier on the comedy element and are more pop than anything. Yazima Beauty Salon even has a movie. This band's 20 anniversary is this year so I am seeing them live 3 times this fall/winter. hahahaha PS- please enjoy their pompadour hair
