As we all know, Japan's visual rock industry specializes in "beauty".
For example, the captain of the legendary band X-Japan: Yoshiki (Lin Jiashu).
Lead singer of the rainbow band L'Arc~en~Ciel: Hyde (Hideto Takarai).
Lead singer of the band Buck-Tick: Atsuji Sakurai.
And the protagonist we are going to introduce today, GACKT, a well-known Japanese singer and actor.
A man who has been a cowherd, flashed marriages and divorces, and is constantly controversial, always standing on the cusp of Japanese public opinion.
Not only that, but also obsessed with money, and in this Japanese epidemic, as the "anti-epidemic pioneer" of the rock industry, it has once again attracted the attention of many netizens.
GACKT, whose real name is "Ogijo ガクト", was born on July 4, 1973 in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.
In 1995, he became the second-generation lead singer of the visual band MALICE MIZER, before retiring from the band in 1999.

Influenced by his former trumpet player father, GACKT has been exposed to music since childhood, playing piano, violin, drums, guitar and wind instruments.

He showed great musical talent, not only singing well, but also composing his own lyrics and compositions. His masterpieces "Last song" and "Another World" and so on, I believe most people should have heard of it.
Not only that, but of the 48 singles released in the last 20 years, 44 capitals have been listed in Oricon's Top 100, which is the first in history among many solo male singers.
In addition to music, he is also an actor.
For example, in 2003, he collaborated with HYDE and Wang Lihong on the movie "MOON CHILD":
In 2007, he starred in the NHK Dahe drama "Wind Forest Volcano":
Then in the first two years, he starred in the comic book movie "Fly! Saitama".
Having the 44-year-old play an 18-year-old transfer student caused a lot of controversy at the time, but eventually managed to achieve a box office success of 3 billion yen in Japan.
However, whether it is music or film, these achievements are only one of the reasons why he has been discussed, and another reason is because of GACKT's private life.
This brother! So rich!
Because I was addicted to skiing, I bought a snow-capped mountain.
Apartments are not one household at a time, but are bought one by one. In addition, there are "strongholds" in several places such as Hong Kong, the Philippines and Malaysia.
His house in the Philippines has more than 1800 square meters. In the luxury houses of Malaysia, there are also more than 1700 square meters.
Even the japanese residence is a whole building, with four floors above ground and three floors underground, and the bedrooms are exaggerated with waterfalls and fountains.
And the interior furnishings and furniture are also very valuable, a chair dedicated to changing shoes is worth 4 million yen:
There is also a recording studio worth 50 million yen for work:
And the must-have bars and gyms where GACKT is everywhere you go:
It's just a little "weird" that because of the ultraviolet allergy, I can't see the light, so I don't have any windows in my Japanese home.
Fans have said: "The house is big, Qianping can't be put down, the house is too dark, rub my hand ash."
I remember when KICKT's relatives and friends HYDE went to his house many years ago to read the movie script together, they were completely invisible because the room was completely dark, and finally they could only be lit up with the lighter that GACKT handed him.
However, in the face of HYDE's "GA sauce, so hot" "squeamish", GA sauce himself is holding a flashlight and wearing sunglasses in the already dark room.
And then? Then HYDE never went to his house again...

Because this impression of "rich and powerful" is too strong, many people are very curious: where does GACKT's money come from? This is almost listed as Japan's N biggest unsolved mystery.
In this regard, he once said in the show that he has also run a lot of side businesses in his acting work, including real estate, diamonds, karaoke, and restaurants. As for his total annual income, even he himself did not know.
Anyway, if you have money, you're done!
However, although he lived the rich life that everyone aspired to, he never relaxed his requirements for himself because of his desire for enjoyment, but on the contrary, he was quite self-denying and set various rules for himself.
For example, since he was in his 20s, he insisted on eating only one meal a day and drinking vegetable juice in the morning for the sake of his body and health.
And the only meal was never eaten at home, because he was very homely and afraid of disconnecting from the outside world, so he stipulated that he had to go out to eat every day and go around by the way.
Because he "decided to give up important things after flying alone", he was obsessed with carbon water, and he was determined not to eat rice again until he gave up music, and he really insisted on it until now.
And stipulating that when I was in Malaysia, I only worked two hours a day, so as not to focus on my career and forget to enjoy life.
In order to maintain your figure, you insist on exercising for two hours a day, and this intensity is simply not something that ordinary people can withstand.
As for the results, everyone can see that he is almost 47 years old, and his flesh can still fight.
Of course, these are far from enough to summarize the wonderful things about GACKT's life.
When he was young, he worked as a cowboy in Kyoto to make a living...
At the age of 20, he married a woman who was 10 years older than himself, but the marriage lasted only 3 months...
More than 10,000 people who had stood on the streets and passed by told their dreams, and in the end 50 people chose to sponsor him, and they are still connected to this day...
Writing this brother's experience into a book is estimated to be thicker than the dictionary.
Versatile, he not only speaks 5 languages (Chinese, Japanese, English, French and Korean), but also karate, boxing, and is a taekwondo black belt, and what no one can imagine is that he is also the first person in Japan to be selected for the final in the World Series of Poker held in Las Vegas.
What's even more amazing is that just by looking at his appearance and overwhelming temperament, it is easy to think of him as a "flower of High Ridge".
But in fact, GACKT is a middle two demon king, in him, you can see the wonderful fusion of handsomeness, talent, nobility and "sand sculpture".
Even Lin teacher Yoshiki said that on the "abnormal", he is only three-sevenths of the GACKT.
Even the speech has his own unique tone, as if each tail note carries a wave horn, which has a sexy aristocratic style.
And from time to time, some "Ga words and Ga words" appear, such as: "Dreams ~ no ~ yes ~ use ~ come ~ do ~ ~, dreams ~ are ~ use ~ come ~ real ~ present ~ and so on.
Even the invincible Japanese first cowherd "Roland" looked well-behaved in front of him.
In addition, he is also the king of the Aka Day Terrier, and often speaks amazingly.
The reactions on the show can also be cute and loving.
Many idiomatic words are also inexplicably funny.
Like to eat spicy, prefer to deceive others to eat spicy.
And like us, we all like to go to the toilet and think about problems. Whenever something was about to be published, GA Jun wanted to run to the toilet and send a message to the world.
You netizens must have never expected that the notice of the opening of the GTKT tubing that they watched was recorded in the toilet.
The surface is cold, but in fact it is very elegant and gentlemanly, and it will not be angry when it is photographed on the toilet, and it can also be laughed in the face of all kinds of slander.
But in this way, he will only be angry for the stage performance.
Ga Junna, who is known in the industry as "Japan's first strict", is notoriously dedicated, and his body management is already strict enough, and he will fast for two more weeks after driving Live, drinking only enzyme drinks made of vegetables and fruits every day, and not eating any solid foods.
On solo's 20th anniversary tour, GACKT and his dancers rehearse hellishly every day in order to make it worthwhile for fans who pay to see him.
Even if the old knee injury recurred, it was necessary to endure the severe pain to continue the rehearsal.
In order to finally be able to present a wonderful stage, the other staff were also forced by him, and many people complained that the team at GACKT was really hard, but still took the initiative to follow him, because they could learn a lot with him and be attracted to his "damn" masculine charm.
In addition to focusing on his own career, he often thinks about doing something for other people in society.
Just so-called: rock and roll is not dead, epidemic prevention is not stopped!
This time, when the epidemic spread in Japan, GACKT was heartbroken.
Not only did he stop his concert, but he also kept calling on everyone online to pay attention as soon as possible, "What you do will not only make yourself lose important people, but also lead to the lives of others being taken away." ”
Seeing that the people are still gathered, he hates iron and steel, and he bluntly said on the show: "The Japanese are crazy."
...... So dare to say, worthy of you!

However, this remark also once again made him the object of discussion among Japanese netizens.
But it doesn't matter, I believe that none of this will affect him, who makes him gackt, a person who always insists on himself in the face of no matter how much criticism.
