Gackt = Japan's Michael Jackson?

That's what I've heard. Only that Gackt is perhaps weirder than Mike.

Is this an agreeable statement?

Could you please provide some links showing how weird he can be?

Why? has he turned Black now?

I know fuck all about Gackt apart from that he is a solo singer who has contributed a couple of songs to DoC and is the model for Genesis aswell as being the singer for the weirdo band Malice Mizer for a time. Doubt he has anything on good 'ol Jacko though.

Gackt is basically Genesis from Crisis Core... Also he did the song for Dirge of Cerberus called Redemption:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUlbUnLrcQM

Here's a picture of him... What he usually looks like most of the time...


Well.... I can see why someone would call him the Michael Jackson of Japan because Gackt went through a lot of surgery to achieve the perfect look. (Well his perpestive.) He looks very different now than what he use to look like. He changes his looks dramatically rather often.

I wouldn't really say he's the Michael Jackson of Japan....

First off... He isn't THAT popular, he is, but not as legendary compared to Jackson.

Second... He doesn't have a history of molesting children. =P

Third - Gackt is much better looking than Michael Jackson.

I could name more reasons but I'll stop here...

No, it's not an agreeable statement.

1. Gackt doesn't invite little boys to his mansion.

2. His voice is better.

3. He couldn't dance good if his life depended on it.

4. He's not a hideous monster. I mean come on, do you really think this:


looks anything like this?


Even at his worst, Gack is nowhere CLOSE to being that hideous. I suggest you learn your stuff before you make stupid comparisons (which you LOVE to do, judging by those animuVs.FF threads). Yeah, Gackt has had plastic surgery. What celebrity HASN'T? Being a pop singer who's had plastic surgery done doesn't make you Michael Jackson.

Here, have a video:

You seem a bit touchy.
Don't blame me for simply repeating what I've heard about Gackt: namely he's a psycho who thinks he's a vampire.
I was asking a question. Chill the F out.

Touchy? No. Try looking up some info on him yourself before you make such a ridiculous comparison thread. Your other comparison threads like ZOMG WULD FF WIMMINZ BEAT PAN?! were lulz-worthy (and pretty sad too), but this is just dumb.

He's not a psycho, I don't know where you heard that bit. Now he DOES claim to be a 500-year old vampire, but I sincerely doubt he really believes that. He hasn't had caps put on his canine teeth, and the subject matter in his songs isn't vampiric, and he's in the light all the time. If he believed he was a vampire, don'tcha think he'd try to avoid that? He's great at keeping his personal history hidden and such, the vampire thing is most likely something he adopted for his persona.

Gackt is a strange one. He used to say that he was a vampire that was 430-something years old.

I think he was kidding, but apparently in several other interviews, he continued to say that he believes he actually is that old.

Gackt had a very strict upbringing. His parents made music his life. That statement does make him similar to MJ, but, it's such a minor coincidence.

Gackt isn't hideous by any means, but he is a bit strange at times.

I think it'd be natural that anyone would be irritated, considering the fact Gackt and MJ are worlds apart, and because you always post less than three lines of valid information whilst comparing two objects that some people don't even know anything about.

I really don't see any area that you could compare Gackt to MJ in, besides who's had more plastic surgery.
