Well, let's say if you want to "borrow" Grackt livestreams, we can make an ongoing exception for that, but I do want to keep any exceptions narrowly tailored. If some goofball comes in and tries to upload all of Gackt's live DVDs or something, that's still forbidden.

I am looking forward to Gackt finding new ways to disgust us, I'll admit ::meev::

Roger that, boss! I'll keep an eye on any relevant content he posts/livestreams and borrow it, for science ::mana::

Watching the whole thing again so I can record it, trying to understand more of it but failing.

Started recording only after Kaya showed up because the conversation before him seemed very irrelevant.

Kaya's guest is a kabuki actor who likes VK. They talk about Hiroshima for a bit, which leads to Gackt talking about being there with Malice, actually he talks about Malice quite a lot during this whole thing. And about Yoshiki. And something about MM members lying about their heights towards the end (maybe?) and was that him inviting Kaya to come to a barbecue in a bikini or did I misunderstand? And kabuki actor guy saw Malice live with Tetsu?

Kaya had terrible wi-fi through the first half of it, poor thing, he kept getting logged out.

Beware Gackt's obnoxious vaping, it's loud af.

(edit)
Ended up watching the whole thing 3 times: when it was live, right as I was writing this so I could screen record it, and then realized the recording had no sound so had to watch it again. It's 1 hour 40 min long. If I hear Gackt's ridiculous laugh one more time I'll snap.

Thank you! Yeah the kabuki guy dd see Malice Mizer back in the Tetsu era.
And Gackt said they didn't put down their real hights because it was more important to coordinate their heights with their other members and their platform shoes XD
Like, if the leader made himself taller, they all had to lol
Today is the day I learned Gackt is only 178cm.

Do you remember around what time they talked about Hiroshima? Or bikini barbeque?
I ended up skipping through most of it to when it seemed they were talking about Malice and didn't find those parts.

The host is much better this time.
And they talked about BYSEXUAL!!!
Listen to Dynamite Girl and don't dance. I dare you.

Was it more tolerable this time? Bc it seemed a lot calmer to me xD

Hiroshima is after 30min mark, I think kabuki actor guy starts off by saying he knows an old friend of Gackt's, so Gackt tells a story about Hiroshima and Kami (maybe? look at me guessing, having only understood like 3 words xD)

Bikini barbeque should be right at the end as they're saying their goodbyes

So wait he DID say "leader" then!? I wasn't sure if I'd heard that correctly.... so this is possibly the first time he's ever referred to Mana specifically (in the last 21 years) and it's to call him a liar? I love it xD

So how tall are they exactly? They always seemed pretty much the same height, did they coordinate the shoe height to make it that way? Is Mana actually as short as Seth but we've never noticed bc of the shoes?! :O I am SHOCKED!! (I'm not, but this is fun)


Btw Kaya did a twitcasting live right after and commented a bit about Gackt and Malice, but I'm not sure if it's still available for viewing... it's 1h long though, with just him talking x)

It's better this time except for the vaping sound.
I liked when the host more or less called the kabuki actor a generic old man XD

As for the Hiroshima bit, you heard right< Gackt said that, back in Malice times, Hiroshima was his favorite place.
There was a funny digression about it being the land of nanpa.
He got cat called by some guys driving by in a car in Hiroshima because he had hair down to his waist.
When he turned around and they saw his face they were like "WHAT THE FUCK"

Then he gets to the reason why he likes Hiroshima so much...
Apparently 2 girls ran up to him and asked if he wanted to mess around with them.
So he called Kami, because he was closest with him at the time, and says, "Hey I'm with these 2 girls and they wanna do the thing. Are you coming?"
Kami was like hell yeah.

The host asks if it was because they were attracted to his sexiness.
Gackt says it was probably because everyone in Hiroshima were yankees at the time.
So when he came around with his long hair and lack of tatoos and all that, he probably stood out to them.

At that point Kaya got his video working again and came back.

My god though. He painted a weird picture of the city , that's for sure XD

So wait he DID say "leader" then!? I wasn't sure if I'd heard that correctly.... so this is possibly the first time he's ever referred to Mana specifically (in the last 21 years) and it's to call him a liar? I love it xD

So how tall are they exactly? They always seemed pretty much the same height, did they coordinate the shoe height to make it that way? Is Mana actually as short as Seth but we've never noticed bc of the shoes?! :O I am SHOCKED!! (I'm not, but this is fun)

Right? I was like "Oh you bitch" XD
Let mana stand on his cooking stool and chug cayenne powder in peace

He didn't really say how tall they all are. But he pointed out that, at the time, everyone else was wearing 20cm platform shoes while he was in 15cm ones. So I guess that gives an idea?
It sounds like no one was under 170 though.
Isn't Kaya 166cm btw?

And yeah, he totally said Kaya can come in a bikini. I think they ran with it a bit more, but the sound's really distorted towards the end of the video and I couldn't get that part.

You've been hiding your mad Japanese skills, haven't you? lol

Kaya's next look will probably be something like this:


The background "dancers" already look like the ones Kaya used during his live concerts.

I'm glad that Kaya is still active, but I don't know, man. The last time Kaya released something genuinely good was, what, 2017 with Yumeji? And his last fully original album was in 2013.
I genuinely hope he does something original again when corona calms down. Even then, I'm not sure if I'll like what he's going to do, though. When he's doing his "clubbing" songs he doesn't really use his voice to the max and I think his vocals is the reason why I fell in love with his music in the first place.

Why is he like this? Can't he leave tiny Mana alone?! X)
Mana's been saying he's 1.73m for 30yrs so I guess this was just Gackt's very elaborate way to justify why his own height has varied from 1.78m to 1.82m over the years.. Of course it's Mana's fault ::meev::

Damn, understanding half a dozen words and googling another dozen really does pay off!! It's a shame my reading/writing skills are not nearly as good as my listening skills (for random words anyway)...

I didn't realize the audio was distorted towards the end, it definitely wasn't in the original video so it may have been my recording. I really don't want to watch it again tho x) there was probably nothing too important at that point right?

Did anyone watch Kaya's Halloween live btw?

Erm so it looks like there's another ienomi with Gackt, Kaya, and ROLLY TERANISHI.
Are we still operating on the 'it's ok to upload Gackt stuff' mode of thinking because.....ROLLY TERANISHI.

I'm kind of surprised tbh. I guess Gackt and Kaya hit it off after they realized they both like talking about sex maybe.
Either way, the lineup looks fun. But not fun enough to figure out how to pay per view it.

It's OK to upload any of this specific series of talk videos, I'm making an exception just for that. Any THIEF who feels like it can go ahead and ply their trade ;)

I'll watch it tomorrow when I'm supposed to be working...but right off the bat, 4 things:

1. Who's gonna order their Gackt christmas cake?
2. Where is he connecting from? It looks like a mix between a funeral home and a tanning salon, with snowboards.
3. Wasn't that Jack Skellington figurine in the interview with Rolly from the 3rd(?) GLB?
4. Rolly's ON something XD Or maybe he started drinking loooong before the ienomi started...

OK so double post, but this is the best ienomi.

In the beginning Gackt has wine, so he and the host spend something like 5 minutes talking about how to properly drink wine, etc.
Then Rolly comes on, they trink, and the host asks what he's drinking, to which Rolly responds
"Kai, Yummy and easy to drink 17 degrees from the supermarket. There's 2 liters in here *and it's only about 980 yen*."

...and that is where I lost it XD

I don't know if it was staged or not but lol

They only talked about Malice very briefly, because Gackt first met Rolly when he was in Malice Mizer (Rolly likes Gekka!)

I feel like a chump for paying full-price for Mr. Clean when this was available.

I guess you have to be a rock star to drink Walmart Wiskey from a carton and not get alcohol poisoning lol
Rolly is a Legend. L E G E N D.


Highlights. I dunno if anyone else cares about Rolly but:

Rolly has a burn scar on his hand from pouring hot tea water on his hand instead of his tea. He finds it 'chanson-like'. The host said he didn't know chuninbyo = chanson and it's funny, but it's not funny explaining it. Sorry.
They spent an inordinate amount of time fangirling over Interview with a Vampire. Gackt is a superfan.
Gackt got banned from NHK for like, rampaging backstage and throwing their lame old tv around (didn't see anything about this on the internetz).
Rolly's pretty good at playing just about any kind of music on demand, or without demand.
Kaya and Rolly want Gackt to sing a chanson at Rolly's chanson thing, but Gackt listened to them to much as a kid and chansons aren't for kids so he's had enough of them (mqybe he just needs a hand burn tho).
Gackt and that thing he has for sex started when he was 12 with a video called ichi, ni, pi, whatever that is. From there he climbed the perv ladder, as one should do for all things in life.
Gackt is in Europe and thinking to live here for a bit. Not sure this is the best time for that...but anyhow Rolly seems to want him to go back to Malaysia and send him some banana things XD

Kaya doesn't really talk much in these things, huh

"Drink from me and live forever" ::gaku::

If you find it, don't download it. It's a romance between two 13 year olds.
I doubt there's anything explicite but let's not have anyone get stuck with child porn on their computer just in caseXD

Hello. Kaya newbie here. Saw his cover of Malice Mizer song and he seems to be a very good singer. So I was wondering if anyone can reccomend me a few songs since I don't know where to start. Looking for songs that shows off his vocal range/technical skills.

Thank you!
