This is a long story.
Generally speaking, their status is high at the palace level, like the four king-level figures in the country. Although they are not the most active and popular now, no one will be dissatisfied as long as they are mentioned.
Before going solo from GA, he was the lead singer in Malise Mizer.
It was the golden age of Japanese visual kei rock, and MM was one of the most influential groups at the time.
After going solo in 1999, a large number of loyal fans of the original MM still supported GA. In addition, the new songs in the past two or three years were very good, and soon GA became active again.
To be honest, GA's handsomeness is considered top-notch among yellow people. He was once called a walking work of art, and he can even be found in games or anime such as Final Fantasy 7. Drawn based on his prototype, it is no exaggeration to describe his popularity as overwhelming the country. As soon as he appears on the streets of Japan and even Taiwan, the scene will quickly become crowded to the point where the police are dispatched.
GA's music career has been developing steadily. He has set many records in several major music charts in Japan. And because he can speak English, Korean, Chinese, French, etc., he has started performing in South Korea and Taiwan in his early years. I have been on tour and have seen a video of his last performance at the MKMF Awards in 2007. Girls' Generation and Super Junior were stunned in the audience (they were really stunned, and the camera deliberately captured it).
In 2002, GA held a concert in Beijing and sang in the Great Hall of the People in 2007. Can you imagine that a Japanese artist can do this? He must have a palace-level status.
In 2010, GA formed the band Yellow Fried Chickens, and then went on a world tour, including many European countries. In the video, he saw all the blonde beauties screaming at him crazily and holding up lights in Japanese. She has also been to many countries in Southeast Asia to participate in programs, and the audience was enthusiastic.
There are really not many singers who can be so popular all over the world.
In addition to his status in music, GA also has an acting career.
In 2003, he starred in his first movie, cooperating with Leehom Wang.
Then in 2007, he starred in the Taiga drama "Fenglin Volcano". His image of Uesugi Kenshin in it was so classic that he was invited to play Uesugi in Japan's "Kenshin Public Memorial Festival" for many years. Modesty.
In 2009, he starred in a stage play as the sleeping maniac Shiro, and received an enthusiastic response.
It is worth mentioning that Kenshin Uesugi and Shirou Mukuro are both very important and unique figures in Japanese history and legends. Their predecessors played classic roles, so it is really difficult to play them well. It turns out that these two roles were specified by the producer for GA to play. The former was when the director saw GA riding a horse at the Tokyo Dome concert and was shocked and said, "Isn't this just Mr. Kenshin?" The family of the original author of "Kurushiro, the Scoundrel Controller" felt that GA perfectly fit the image of Sleeping Kuangshiro and asked him to play the role.
Soon after, GA was spotted by Hollywood and made an action movie.
Although his reputation is not high, it is Hollywood after all, and it has brought him a lot of popularity and opportunities.
In recent years, GA has written, directed, and acted in the stage play "The Secret Transfer of Yoshitsune". I don't know how well it has been received in the professional world, but it is really amazing to be able to produce a stage play of my own.
In addition to the above-mentioned achievements, when people mention GACKT, the stronger impression is that he is a mystery and a legendary figure.
GA has a very strong personal aura. He is extremely individual in every aspect of his words and deeds. In terms of talents, he is not only an original singer but also an actor. He is also proficient in 7 languages ??and plays more than a dozen musical instruments. GA He was the fastest in Japan to obtain a black belt in Taekwondo, and his skiing skills are comparable to professional levels. He can even play iPhone games and reach the top ten in the world. He has never learned flower arranging in variety shows but was praised by masters. Japan has There is a variety show called "Artist Qualification Assessment". Hundreds of artists with high status in Japan participated and answered many questions incorrectly. However, GA actually achieved zero mistakes for six consecutive years. It is really a nobleman who looks the same on the outside.
In terms of private life, I only sleep 2 hours a day, I haven’t eaten rice in more than ten years, and the smell of perfume can be smelled more than ten meters away. I once bought a mountain for skiing, and owns several world-class cars. Lamborghini's home is a four-story mansion underground. There is a waterfall fountain in the bedroom that serves as a humidifier. He has built a dojo at home. The bathtub is a large Roman-style round pool. The dressing room at home looks like a store, etc. This has been going on for more than ten years. It happened before, but now he has villas and private residences in five countries around the world.
In terms of social interaction, GA’s fascinating social circle really subverts perceptions. He knows the world’s top entertainment industry insiders and often posts photos with big shots. Not to mention that he once went to Dubai to play in Dubai. The prince booked a racing track for him to play. He sent a congratulatory message to the new president of the Philippines when he was elected a while ago...
The legends about him are constantly being updated. Even as a veteran, he will be caught off guard. I was shocked by something about him.
I really admire the greatness of creation.
In terms of personality, GA usually seems to have a cold and awesome image (really awesome), but in fact he is a very warm, kind, cute and humorous person.
He has a lot of witty remarks on variety shows, and the atmosphere wherever he is can be very lively.
I also found out not long ago that Yang Mingxue liked GA (a Taiwanese lyricist, who wrote Faye Wong’s "Turnwood"). When Yang Mingxue was seriously ill, someone wrote to GA saying that Yang Mingxue liked him and wanted to die. Before he could fulfill his wish to see him, GA flew to Taiwan. For more than ten years now, he has been going to Taiwan to pay homage to Yang Mingxue every year, which has become a legend.
GA usually looks like he is strong in everything, but in fact he is in very poor health. He once fell into the sea and almost drowned when he was a child, and was even sent to a mental hospital. GA always wears sunglasses, but he is not pretending. Cool, but his eyes are afraid of light, and he will go blind if he looks directly at the light source.
When I first started my solo career, I was so thin that it made me feel distressed. I exerted myself so hard during live performances that I fainted. Even now, I am often hospitalized with high fever.
GA has very strict requirements on himself, and he has a spirit of working hard as long as he is alive. In addition to being a genius, GA also relies on his determination to refuse to admit defeat, just because If someone else says, "You are really bad at this," he will turn his anger into strength and become invincible in this matter.
I really saw it in him. It’s all bullshit if you work hard and have no results. It only means that you haven’t pushed yourself to a sufficient level. A person’s life is long enough to allow you to achieve Enough to reach the top, and even if it seems useless, as long as it is world-class, it will definitely become a ladder for you to move forward in the future.
He also randomly goes to a high school graduation ceremony every year to encourage students and spread his strong will.
GA’s famous saying is “Dreams are not meant to be dreamed, they are meant to be realized. Realizing dreams is the process of carrying out a strong will to the end.” GA’s live is very shocking. As a fan, I really always feel that I am driven by the power of GA. When I am depressed, I can regain the courage to move forward in life by just supplementing with vitamin G.
There have been constant scandals about GA in the past two years, but they have not greatly affected his popularity.
In the face of slander, he said on his blog, "I will never do anything to make you feel ashamed because you like GACKT." It really made fans burst into tears.
Because he is so irreplaceable that people who know him have no reason to doubt him.
As soon as I express my love, I accidentally say too much.
I just want to say that for such an outstanding person who will never give up on excellence, I believe his influence will continue.
In Japan, artists have a long acting career, and the fans who already love him will undoubtedly follow him for the rest of his life.
