I Spent a Day with Japan's Biggest Rock Star | An Interview with GACKT 

::realising that there are no more vampires around an Gackt here, a vampire, claimed to have joined multiple state armies:: I'm not saying Gackt did vampicide but....big sus....

Kibutsuji confirmed

@@ariusanimus6985 a real demon shapeshifter

Sounds legit, checks out, let's go break into his house and ask him, yeah? /s

@@grimsladeleviathan3958 Don’t forget to bring snacks

Imagine k

I cant tell if he's serious or not I cant tell he looks so serious

@@Jason-hw4tf who would lie about being 500 years old

Isn't Japans biggest rock star Hyde (Hideto Takarai)? ;)

Thought I was the only one who caught this 😂😂😂😂😂

i dnt get it

@@FM-dm8xj look up Gackt taxes you’ll see a lot of speculation/rumors about him avoiding taxes lol 😂

@@blizzred2143 That guys is like Ufotable but maybe a little smarter(?)

So that’s how he ended up in Malaysia 😂

he hails from France

@@cinotaoatand he speaketh not

Can you pls recommend me one of interviews of him doing that to mana sama 😂😂

@@Yuunjae Malice Mizer - Hot wave interview Voyage ( it's on Cantavanda yt channel )

Read this before i watched the video and kept thinking how perfect this comment it while watching!! 😂

lmaoo so true

I have never heard of him since I am from America, but I can say I like him better than most famous people because he just keeps trolling him

Gackt and Hyde are GODs and I'm not taking any criticism atm

@@haydennance1798 If you know FF7 Dirge of Cerberus you know him, literally does the opening and ending for the games and Genesis Rhapsodos is based on him in terms of look. He's also his Japanese VA. The Dirge ads played his music in the US lol

Hello you weeb.

Well, you've met Ichika nito which is a very popular guitarist right

Notice me senpai!

Sup boss

Yo senpai

Gackt = Random Choice Icon in video games

Gackt is the equivalent of the Florida man as a real person but its better since he's preaty famous in some places

@@olivia892 Okinawa man for a better term lol

True but I've definitely seen him have better repoire. Most people catch on to his "trolling" or silliness , whatever you want to call it, a bit quicker than this guy. Gackt has always been pretty hilarious, glad to see he still is.

Just like he thinks that everyone is from the IRS? Lmao

True

Its the other way around, we can't grasp the genius of this dude's word xD

@@ArnnFrost I think Gackt has heard questions like these so many times, he might as well have fun with them now. But I love that about him. He doesn't trip over himself to use keigo/polite speak and is more blunt and honest than most celebrities you'll see on Japanese TV. But I do think he's dead serious about being ready to retire and not be "Gackt". Sadly, that fame will likely follow him until the day he dies.

​@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley kinda hard to use keigo when you ain't speaking japanese ... joey speaks japanese, why ain't they speaking japanese

@@rasen7721 I was talking about Gackt in general in relation to Japanese TV, not this interview. Though this also being said, you can frame your words even in English to be more polite or just not say anything at all, but even in English, Gackt was a bit scathing, lol.

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley ah makes sense do celebrities normally talk all teinei on Japanese TV? I can't say I watch much of the stuff

Makes sense

And then he joined the US military

Ahhh the dimensia's kicking in

And at that he’s secretly Elton John

It's called botox

He's not doing well he can't sing no more

Plastic surgery and botox does wonders

the rich age pretty well for a reason

Nah he aged alot. Have you seen him during the 90s? He is more handsome than all the final fantasy boys combined. It's fine though, he should allow himself to age. People expecting him to still look like he was 20 yrs ago are unfair.

Almost forgot about that 🤣

Fr

Lmao

"Questions for later"

I could only ask the same lmao

this comment is deadly accurate

Anime opening start with Ara ara okashiwa can any one told me which anime op is it?

Didn't expect to see you here-

Joey's reactions and GACKT's humor made the entire video 😂.

It seemed like Joey really wanted to be Gackt's little spoon

people who only watch halfway and people who finish the video will have different interpretation of this comment lol

Get Isekaied by Truck-kun lol.

Man. This happened to me when I found out utada was American.

@@TheOtakuDudeActually the "parallel universe" was a Kamen Rider Decade's reference. He sang the OP for that TV series

@@daoyang223 You and me both

He's on some good psychotropics. His depression also makes his humor more punchy.

He's such a sincere troll and Joey willingly plays into it. Half the time.

ikr i love it 😂

sarcasm is when someone purposely says the exact opposite with an obvious sarcastic tone, how the fuck would you otherwise know if the person is sarcastic or not? gackt just speaks very monotonously, is not even making jokes, nor tries to be sarcastic, since he knows that people will laugh at him anyway bc of his clout. I mean, even joey had trouble understanding if he was joking or not and is forcing himself to laugh at his lame ass dry jokes. i dont hate on the guy, but this is not my cup of tea, this is not sarcasm, just abusing fame, begging to be liked.

@@nymtes He's a straight man, which relies on a degree of sarcasm

@@nymtes it's more of a deadpan delivery of sarcasm, it can work in some cases but is only conveyed effectively if you're normally quite expressive.

helpful lol

Same. It's really only in recent years his English has improved though. Gackt is one of those rare dudes who keeps mastering new shit the older he gets.

Yo we’re the same age and started liking Gackt about the same time, twins XD

Exactly the same but I'm slightly younger!

@@flip-phone_becky4655 Same!

Why you eating so many snacks?

@@mordor2594 it's bad for your health

Next Trash Taste, Gackt in Joey's seat. Gabe "so where is Joey?" Gackt: "I am Joey. Let talk about how snacks are bad for you." Conner scoots away from Gackt slowly.

You are very late into the party man

Nah he's definitely just high

BRUH I KEEP SEEING YOU

THIS IS LIKE THE 90TH TIME

LMAO IVE SEEN YOU SO MUCH IVE SUBBED TO YOUR CHANNEL

Both c:

sometimes these two are interchangable

I think he probably ain't feeling well though i can somehow sense that i'm empath afterall,he seems rather off wonder if something happened to him to make him feel that way.

@@sephirothcrescent5768 because he's speaking english, makes him uncomfortable

@@cocog0aty382 He is off his fucking rocker that I almost fell on the floor laughing 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Fr, i want to hate him but he cracks me tf up

@@aba4055 FR he’s so funny 😭

I actually was introduced to Malice Mizer during Gackt's run. But I also loved a lot of when Testu was the lead. Why would people hate him? He seems so cool.

M+M were already making good music when Tetsu was their vocalist, and they were still making amazing music during their period of mourning Kami's death and then with Klaha as their new vocalist. I would even go so far as to say that their music was actually better when Gackt was _not_ in the band. Sure, Gackt has the good looks with the voice to match, and the band became really popular in great part thanks to him, but for me the "Gackt era" was somewhat a tad too cheesy and too mawkish for my taste... That's why I was actually glad when Gackt left. It meant no more songs like "Claire~tsuki no shirabe", "Premier Amour", "Après-midi", or "Je te veux", which was a good thing as far as I was concerned. It meant that they would probably take a new direction, and I was really excited about it. Of course, back then nobody could have guessed that Kami would die 6 months after Gackt's departure...

Any chance you saw his candy commercials as a weatherman?

Welp technically if you know vocaloid you probably atleast know his name so....

I thought for the most part Japan didn't understand and a youtuber Yuta confirmed it. But Gackt has been around the world and he was probably born sassy anyway

underrated comment

Or also "Alright, so schools days episode 1, here we go"

@@Panda-hp1zh i see

@@yurikuki the scandalous type

HI 🐷🇯🇵

I'm pretty sure he's high on atleast 1 thing

This man seems extremely intellectual.

@@Dragons-rj6ql My bro's ex used to tell me a lot about how he was on TV shows and things, etc. and from what I've heard of him over the years, he is quite intelligent overall.

@@Dragons-rj6ql He doesn't seem extremely intellectual, he IS extremely intellectual. there's shit tons more under the facade of a giga-troll that you'd only find when you've been following him long enough & having read the kinda stuff that he wrote.

Nah, he's just being an ass hole. He could've easily answer "4", because that's all his band mate before he left.

​@josephchristoffel Yeah, sure, lol ****. 🙄😒.

The shade he throw is so like him. How many are alive? "Just me right? Careerwise" damn!

he was also fucking with him , he meant it in a way where everyone was " dead " to him😭

Next we have Connor talking to Yoshiki🤣

We need someone who talks to Miyavi or Satoshi (ex. Lycaon) 😁

Who's Chris? And be talked to Sam Hyde? Lucky man.

@@metochan9592 his girlfriend did ^_^

@@creativebodyflying Yeah I saw that after this Video 😁

Could you link any of his trolls?

One of my favorite shows he was on was the 100 yen shop to promote his song Jesus. So many iconic moments on that alone! (I know that isn't some of his older stuff, but it was so good)

This is an interesting video

Also the time the host tried to grab his crotch and he grabbed him back🤣

@@FelicianoCookie please tell me you have a link to this 😂

He'S the personification of a troll, but I love it

MASSIVE troll

I wouldn't be suprised he speaks fluent British accent when he's out of Joey's sight XD and says stuff like sawdy no eng'dish

ok your idea of "near perfect english" is way different from mine. i guess that's fine and all but this guy definitely does not speak even decent english. it's just better than most japanese ppl proving how low the bar is here.

@@pjk13456 awful take is awful and nearly racist

As of late, he's been posting poker tournament stuff 😂

True

Chuunibyou????

I was hoping Joey would speak Japanese towards the end and he'd be like "wait you speak Japanese? Wait, this is a real interview?" The cynical sarcasm by the end worked just as well though lol

4:54

I had no idea

i like cheez its

I wanna see a meeting between Gackt and Tommy Wiseau

And the title is misleading, should be changed into "Interview with Gackt". I was expecting an outing with Gackt!!

Me too :(

Where did hear that?

it's foreigners who don't understand him, japan understand him very well.

@@jonasw3945 no I meant that sarcasm isn’t typical in Japanese so it’s often misunderstood

@@kesuya maybe I’m wrong but I hear that all the time from people who are bilingual, but maybe that’s a common misconception

Shogo says on his channel Kyoto is sarcastic in the sense that they diss annoying people with compliments.

Hahah Yeah same I can feel some frustration here

it was good for the 1st 10 min then its too much , this vid so hard to watch fuck

The drummer, kami actually is dead. Which is sad

@@joshbuddha6112 I hear kamis death is actually the reason he dislikes the other 3 :(

@@goopybird Yeah, because the rest of Malice Mizer didn't tell Gackt that Kami died until I think after Kami's funeral? I don't think he was invited. But Gackt left the band at that point so....were they suppose to tell him?! I mean I wouldn't tell his diva/god like self either at the time since he decided to leave them and now all of a sudden he cares about Kami, especially the way he disregarded them in this interview (as funny as that bit was)?! But it was shocking when Gackt said in a way, "who are they?!".
