I thought he'd been #1 before, but no. Only ever #2.

Wow. Ha. He's always #2. :lol: Well, Congrats Gackt! On finally becoming #1!
:lol: Well, he finally got it!

I'm interested in who was #1 when he was #2 as well...*nods*

awf, that picture is great, minikitty! ::squee:: He must be so happy right now! I hope he gives a great performance at AX. :)

I see he's also started to sell his stuff on itunes starting with this single. XD And that skin's finally been mentioned on the english site. ::meev::

Okay.. Returner hit #1... And Mizerable album only hit #2...
Definitely something wrong there. Mizerable is incredibly awesome and life changing while Returner is 'cool' xD

Though whenever I watch the Japanese (old) single rankings and see that Malice Mizer ended on #75, while something extremely ugly ended on #1, I'm like "definitely something wrong here, who messed with the info!??"

Well, it's all based on album sales. :/ If the ugly thing is marketed to death and gackt just markets himself on a normal scale, then there's the chance that the ugly thing's overkill will win out.

I also think that him offering his songs on iTunes now will really help his sales and give him an edge in the future. I'm glad he's got his foot in the door with iTunes- Crown Nippon really wasn't too keen on the idea of internet sales of the iTunes nature until one of its more veteran artists started raising hell with the company to let him market his stuff there. It seems it payed off! :D

am i the only one a bit disappointed with the booklet? (visually)

i dunno. it seems so plain for a gackt single. it's just... dark. with like a moon on the cover.

His singles generally don't have much of a booklet. I remember that the Kimi ni aitakute single only had one piece folded over and was mostly beige and unexciting. :P ::cred::

Indeed, really it looked more like a very pretty ring advert than a single insert. o_O;

Yeah, that one came in with Love Letter >>; It was a very disapointing day for me in general.

I think the limited edition of this cd isnt so bad where booklets are concerned. At least it isnt beige dullness or terribly pink. It actually looks pretty nice.

^ I really didn't think the Kimi ni aitakute single was too terribly bad, in all honesty. It could also have something to do with the fact that it was the first, real cd directly from Japan that I ever laid my hands on (and it was a plus that it was gackt's cd) and got to borrow from my friend to whome it belonged. :roll:

I dunno, I was actually listening to it the other day. XD I was so obessive when I got it that I photocopied everything before I gave it back to her, and since the cover and inside's so light as it is, if I didn't tell you that it was just regular paper, you'd think it was the real cd. XD

AHEM, sorry, I got carried away in the reminiscence. ::kozi::

Cally, I still think you should email them about the poster and find out if they're really out of them. Sometimes if you bug them enough about it, they magically find these things. ::meev::

^ well i was just comparing it to other singles ive bought here (all ridicously cheap at book off ::meev:: 105yen) and look at those booklets at least had better imagery. some might of had extras like special paper or a fold out poster....

like kimi no tame ni dekiru koto paired with cube had an awesome booklet inside.

i was sorta expecting something awesome this time. XD
