Profile
Gackt was first introduced to music at the age of three when his parents had him start to learn the piano. He took both piano and vocal lessons unwillingly until jr. high, when he finally started to enjoy learning music. At the age of fifeteen, Gackt began to play the drums. Through hard work and encouragement from his music teacher, Gackt became extremely good at the drums. Very soon rumors started to spread and Gackt began receiving invitations from several rock bands. Finally he took up a offer from the band Cains Feel. During his time with the band, their main vocalist left. Gackt took his place as vocalist. It was also around this time that Gackt began to write his own songs. Gackt later joined the group Malice Mizer. In November 1998, Gackt shocked many fans when he disappeared and officially left Malice Mizer a month later. Gackt left to LA to start his solo career. 10 months later, Gackt came back to Japan and debuted with his mini album Mizerable.
Early in the new millenium, Gackt branched out into acting in addition to his music career. He has starred in a number of dramas like Moon Child and Fuurin Kazan. He has also done voice acting for the Final Fantasy VII video games, Bujingai video game, Arthur and the Minimoys, Heros Hero, and New Fist of the North Star. Moreover, he also plays in the band S.K.I.N, which was formed by X-Japan co-founder Yoshiki! As if that werent enough, he has also written an autobiography called "Jihaku"!
Thoughts
I know that I will probably get stoned for this cause Gackt has a ton of fans, but I really do not care for his music. It is not so much the background music itself, that is actually pretty good. His songs have good beats and rhythms. I think it is mostly his voice that I do not care for. Gackt has a very deep voice. For me, I just do not feel anything when I hear his songs. I do not feel the emotion and it seems like his songs lack energy vocally. His songs just feel empty and I think its mostly because he voice lacks that power. But do not take my word and just completely ignore Gackt. Give him a try! There are tons of Gackt fans out there, and you may be one of them.
