The Gackt Thread II
- Thread starter Clarie
- Start date
According to the Bunraku facebook (http://www.facebook.com/Bunraku.film):
"BUNRAKU will be available on Video On Demand on September 1 and in theaters on September 30, stay tuned to this page and follow @ARC_Entertain for updates!"
Somebody asked about a release date in Australia and they said:
"The September 30 date is for the US theatrical release. We will let you know if additional release dates are confirmed."
So yep, September 30th theatrical release for the US. I can't tell if that will be wide or limited release, though, I can't find anything that says either way.

Ok, so Im starting to think that Yellow Fried Chickenz is now a side project and not just a goofy thing Gackt is doing. They are releasing a single under the name apparently called The End of the Day.
Hmm, I dont really know what to think of it. It sounds like a goofy thing when they do stuff like the press conference and I cant really see why Gackt would choose to try and go worldwide with the concept. Who knows though. Either way I think the music will be good.

Starting to think? This is old news. GACKT already had plans to form an actual band around YFC when he toured last year. So yes, it is officially a side project.
G also mentioned in an interview that so far, none of the score for the new YFC songs were written by him, but by other YFC members. He just works on the lyrics with Jon, and those lyrics are in Japanese, English, or both combined. Looking forward to it, I can't wait to hear the different sounds in the band!

I havent really kept up with YFC since I always thought it was kinda stupid. I didnt really like the whole persona of the band with the whole "Im the sexiest thing alive" air about it.
I do find it interesting that the other members will be writing it. I think Gackt is burnt out with writing music himself. Re:Born was great, but I but I think he is having trouble coming up with fresh material. With two members who worked with Miyavi, Chacha, You, and a member of Luna Sea, I think it will help give the group a new direction. Sad thing is, while I think it will be good, I dont know if it's going to have that Gackt feel

^ It's not meant to have the GACKT feel, that's why YFC is a side project.
The next part of the MOON saga will probably be done end 2012/begin 2013, and he's going to do another visualive tour then/release another solo album, so saying he's burnt out is stretching it a bit imho, when he's just expanding his horizon by starting a side project like this.. many artists have done it before him.

I wouldnt say it's a stretch to say he is burnt out though, hell he even said so himself when he started releasing the singles for the second Rebirth material. That's why it took so long for everything to come out and he was doing all those other side projects with acting, etc.
Looks like Gackt is doing well with his latest single~

I think that all Gackt's releases since "EVER" are starting to sound really bland.
This new song is ok, but not really so different from some of his past stuff.

I heard some new YFC songs live on last Saturday and they're just quite average, I don't remeber them now. But I have to admit the quality of sound in the concert place was bad, sometimes it was hard to hear vocals :/
YFC are fun but just for one show, I hope Gackt will back to solo singing soon.

Thats what Im afraid of. From hearing a few recordings, it doesnt sound to me, like they can harmonize together too well. Which is always a problem when you have two vocalists. You either need to be able to, or just use one vocalist.
Ever was a decent single IMO. It was a little different from his other stuff and the instrumentation was good. I didnt really care for the chorus though. Episode 0 was good too, but he didnt write it so.
Im not sure what to expect. Ive already voiced how I dont really care too much about YFC so, who knows.

I went to the live in Stockholm last night and I don't really know what to say about it. Did I liek it or not I don't really know 
I stood kind of close to the stage so I got to see Gackt well^^ and Chachamaru ^^
The new vocalist was really annoying, he was one of the big minuses. The other was that for almost 1½, there was a very few songs played. Most time there was Gackt posing or talking, and I wouldn't mind the talking if it was acctual talk, but to hear Gackt go;
How,...How,...How,...How!!! How much...,How Much,...How Much!! How...Much...Do...You....Want ME!!! -was just annoying
Since he did that after every second song -.-'
Vanilla and Jesus was really good, especially Vanilla
I personally really like Mind Forest but I didn't like that he sang it in English.
They threw out loads of stuff too, maybe too much since Gackt hit a bottle in a girls head so she had to be dragged out But hey, she was hit by Gackt, better than being knocked by someone random X'D
Chachamaru was really sweet, throwing out smaller objects -.-', unfortunatly I didn't get any of his picks, one fell infront of me, but the girl infront of me just threw herself at the floor, no point in trying then
The photobook had some nice pictures, I thought I'd share here. Like before, I don't have a scanner so these are all taken with my camera, therefor the bad quality.

I wrote the report on my blog here: http://agnesscafe.blogspot.com/2011/08/ ... fried.html
I've missed a few details but I'm not a good writer and my english is not so good too.
For me Jon is nice guy but yeah, I prefer to hear Gackt's singing...
Overall I'm impressed of this concert, I had a really great time. I never was a big fan of Gackt but now I can't stop to think about him xD

Agree... but fortunately now he doesn't' have this stupid motifs (?) on side, just normal short hairstyle.
I'm waiting for the official photos from the tour, I'll post the link here when they will be accept by Gackt's managements.
I didn't like the hairstyle when it was really short, but now he looks like Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby ^^
Looks like Gackt has boobs.
