In recent years, it has become more and more frequent to see news that Japanese artists are seriously ill, and today another Japanese artist announced that he has suspended his activities due to physical illness.
Singer and actor Gackt (48) announced that he would "indefinitely suspend" his acting activities due to severe vocal disorders and other reasons.
According to GACKT's firm, after returning to Japan from the Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus on August 6, he contacted the company to say that he was unwell, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
GACKT has suffered from chronic neurological diseases since childhood, this time the disease recurred again, and even briefly fell into a critical state, the state of poor health lasted for several weeks, GACKT weight loss of about ten kilograms.
At present, GACKT's condition has stabilized, because he also has a serious vocal disorder, and the doctor diagnosed that he could not continue the vocal work at this stage, so he could only stop his activities indefinitely.
GACKT starred in the movie "Fly Bar Saitama 2", which has been filmed since August, and he originally planned to join the group to participate in the shooting on September 10, and it is not worth suspending the schedule at present.
According to relevant sources, "Now GACKT not only can't sing, but also can't even speak, and it's not clear when it will recover." ”
GACKT will travel to Malaysia, where the attending physician is located, to focus on treatment in order to resume her performing arts activities after a detailed examination of the disease and dysphonia.
For this illness, GACKT posted a long post on its official website in response to fans and friends who care about it.
"I'm GACKT that worries everyone. Thank you all for so much message. It's okay, I'm still alive, aha. This time it was for filming, and I returned to my country in early August.
However, within a few days of returning, his physical health suddenly changed and deteriorated. Sometimes people are unconscious, and this happens once or twice every few years. Well, I'm used to it. Because I haven't had a recurrence recently, I feel that maybe it's already better. The bad situation that lasted for about three weeks, now the weight has lost almost 10Kg, but the body has stabilized. It's just that, for some reason, can't make a sound very well.
Since 10 years ago, in order to treat old problems, I chose to go to overseas side recuperation in a more suitable environment, I don't know whether it is this recurrence, or the accumulation of bits and pieces, or the relationship with neurological diseases, which has led to today's sudden phonological disorder. In short, it is impossible to speak normally, and even speaking becomes very difficult. "I have insisted on getting to the present, but now I am..." To be honest, the whole person's mood was very low for several days. But maybe this is the opportunity to usher in some change, "This difficulty, GACKT will definitely be able to overcome!" 」 I am very convinced of this. The result of consultation with doctors, brokerage companies, and relevant personnel determines whether treatment is the highest priority. Although I was sorry and unwilling, I was allowed to stop all my activities and concentrate on the treatment. The event is paused, and to be honest I don't know. But I will do my best to return soon.
In this rapidly changing world, many people have lost hope and many people have a bitter heart. But there is no obstacle that cannot be crossed. I will definitely cross the past. Don't run away from the problem, I believe we will be able to cross it, let's move forward together! Finally, let everyone worry, really sorry. I will definitely be back. Get stronger. Become a more powerful GTKT. I made an appointment with everyone, and the album and tour will definitely be there. No matter what happens, the agreed good things, I will definitely fulfill them. Please wait for me. ”
Next, Jun Buya will introduce the GTKT.
GACKT, born on July 4, 1973. His real name, Kamui gakuto, and the former name Gackt (officially reorganized in June 2009).
GACKT began learning piano at the age of 13, playing drums in high school, and debuted in 1995 as the second-generation lead singer of the visual artist group MALICE MIZER.
Malice MIZER, as a visual department, is known for its unique musical forms and stage makeup, and its unique visual expressions have had a profound impact on Japan and even Asia.
GACKT, as well as his predecessor MALICE MIZER, are important exponents of the genre.
MALICE MIZER means "malice and tragedy", and the music, costumes, and choreography all carry out their maverick worldview.
MALICE MIZER skillfully combines classical music and rock music to create highly recognizable music;
In terms of clothing, their clothing and whitewashed faces were influenced not only by medieval Europe, but also by the twelve costume cultures of the Heian period in Japan;
In terms of choreography, they integrate elements of classical drama into the performance, and hold a variety of fantasy style concerts with strong charm.
In addition to his good grades in music, GACKT was also active as an actor, starring in the NHK Okawa drama "Wind Forest Volcano" in 2007, playing Kenshin Uesugi.
GACKT's film and television works also include "Moonlight Ranger", "Time Spiral", "Miss Nightmare", "Fly Bar Saitama" and so on.
Among them, in the comedy movie "Fly Bar Saitama", he played the role of a male high school student and was nominated for the Best Actor at the Japanese Oscar.
In addition to being an actor, singer, and musician, GACKT has a wide influence in the Japanese art world, and is also a very successful entrepreneur in the business world.
In the variety show, he once said that he began to invest in Southeast Asian real estate in his 30s, and also participated in virtual currency investment, Texas Hold'em competitive competitions, etc., covering a wide range of topics and accumulating a very large wealth.
GACKT is also a person with a heart, and after the Great East Japan Earthquake, he set up a fund called "SHOW YOUR HEART" to rescue the disaster area.
In 2006, he received a letter from a high school student saying that his school's disaster prevention major could not recruit students, and hoped that GACKT could help the school, so he attended the graduation ceremony of the school and sang "Wild Flower".
In the following ten years, GACKT went to a different middle school every year to attend the graduation ceremony, and sang "Wild に咲く花のように", inspiring the graduates with the lyrics of "Never admit defeat, stubborn bloom".
GACKT said, "I don't know if it's a boost to everyone, even if only one student can be the one who will create the future of Japan." I hope to continue to encourage others when I can still have some influence, and I hope to continue to do such activities. Although in fact, the influence is still limited, but only their own strength, we must carry out our mission. ”
The student who wrote the letter to GACKT later became an employee of GACKT and participated in the front line of disaster relief during the 311 earthquake.
On GACKT's ins, inspirational quotes are shared with fans every day
Sometimes it feels hard and sometimes it hurts, but please keep your head up just because you have raised your head to continue fighting And you can't escape If you escape, you will run away forever
In terms of image, in addition to leaving fans with the impression of the visual department, GACKT also exercised a muscle and was selected into the list of "men's most desired figures" every year.
But in fact, GACKT often fell ill as a child, such as this recurrence of chronic neurological diseases.
He revealed on the show that "I began to receive food therapy at the age of 19 and began to pay attention to diet since then." However, when I was in my 30s, I hurt my back, and I would feel pain when I got a cold. So I wanted to move to a place with a warm climate. ”
Therefore, he chose to live in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, which is more environmentally friendly, with natural jungles not far from the city.
He revealed that he spends about 60% of the year in Malaysia and has bought several houses, including a 1,700-square-meter mansion.
Having said that, there have been a lot of Japanese celebrities in recent times who may rarely be exposed to diseases, such as Genki Iwahashi with panic disorder, Kyoko Fukada with an indication disorder, Shizun Jun with acute myocarditis, Sho Kiyohara with sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and Yuki Kashiwagi with syringomyelosis (a rare disease that only 100,000 people have).
I hope that GACKT will recover soon and return to the public vision, and I hope that everyone who reads this article can pay more attention to their physical health.
