Review
Today I am reviewing Gackt’s album, The Sixth Day - Single Collection. I’d like to start by saying that this album is absolutely superb! The song line-up is extremely solid, and leaves nothing to be wanted. Another factor that makes this album great is that it’s just a bit over one hour, leaving it a little longer than most other cd’s put out by Gackt.Below, I will write a little about each song.

Song Reviews
OasisI believe this was a great track to start off with. Not too slow, but not overly energetic. Overall a great song. 9/10
Seki-rey
This song is also slow, but it’s very melodic with powerful emotional lyrics. 8/10
Secret Garden
This isn’t the best song on the album, but it stays with the mood of the first two. Overall I’d say this song is merely "ok". 6/10
Kimi ga Oikaketa Yume
This is a really nice, and energetic song. It’s sort of a build up from the others. All in all I’d say it fits extremely well in the cd. 9/10
Wasurenaikara
This is probably my favorite song on the album. It’s the culmination (in my personal opinion) of Gackt’s experience with Light Rock. 10/10
Tsuki no Uta
This song is a very melodic, and sad sounding song. Coming right after Wasurenaikara, it is quite a change. However it’s a very beautiful song, and should be listened to by any Gackt fan. 10/10
Mirror
I personally don’t like Mirror very much. It just doesn’t seem like it’s something Gackt would make (in my personal opinion). The main thing that bugs me about this song is the background of it. 5/10
Vanilla
One of Gackt’s most famous singles! I think it fits very well on the cd, with its’ energetic melody and catchy beat. A must listen! 10/10
Mizerable
This song contrasts with Vanilla. It shows Gackt’s more serious side to musical creation. I think the contrast is very pleasant, and the song was well placed. 10/10
Luna
Luna is a very energetic rock song. It has an excellent backgroud, and very solid accompaniments. Their is a solo with some kind of acoustic guitar, that really ties the song together! 9/10
Last Song
Last Song is a very slow paced song. However, builds up and becomes extremely energetic, with a clear powerful melody. I definitely think this song is great. 9/10
Another World
Again as in earlier songs, this song contrasts greatly with Last Song. I guess Gackt just loves to show his versatility. Overall I’d say this song is a very great peice, and is extremely uplifting! 8/10
Kimi no Tameni Dekiru Koto
I love the flowery orchestra opening to this song! The song itself after this is also very great. It is a great piece of light rock that also leaves one sad. I’d say next to Wasurenaikara, this is my second favorite song on the album. 10/10
Saikai - story
I think this song is an absolutely excellent way to end the album. It is a melodic peice that slowly builds up to an extremely powerful and moving song. The lyrics are also superb, making this song one of the best enders to any Gackt album I’ve ever heard. 10/10
