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

Is this an agreeable statement?
 
Please tell me, who is Gackt.

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.

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

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.

Dont really know all that much about him, altho Iv heard of him which is amazing for me coz I never know who anyone is. But fuck me. He looks chuff all like Wacko. I mean he's actually quite hawt :wacky:

That pic scared me >_<

You seem a bit touchy.

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. :monster:

So true :elmo:

Whaddya wanna bet the next things he compares are Bleach characters and Arnold Schwarzenegger, or at least something that ridiculous?
 
I actually like Gackt. His biography is amusing, his music is only sub-par, and his style is odd. Regardless, I don't think I've ever heard of him creating his own theme park, taking advantage of children, and starting very odd dance crazes.

He reminds me of a horny kid with no way to satisfy himself but to be odd and nonconforming. :P
 
Ya know, supposedly Gackt speaks 3 other languages besides Japanese...plus he can play most any instrument. I don't think MJ can claim that.
 
I heard about Gackt after playing Dirge of Cerberus. He actually did the two songs in DoC, and yeah, Genesis is modeled after him and I think he's also his voice actor in the Japanese version of DoC and Crisis Core.

I don't agree with the comparing him to Michael Jackson, and all reasons have been stated above by others.

I know he's popular for the guy-on-guy fan service element though.

Probably the most famous example would be his live performance of the song "Vanilla" where he did all sorts of things with the band members on stage.

If you're not grossed out by that, here's a video of the song in concert

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIl85cKtSDg

(Note how the the fans, mostly made up of women, go crazy :P)

And the song itself insinuates something along the lines of yaoi, although the original music video doesn't seem like it:

And on top of that, he supposedly said in a interview that he doesn't care about gender when it comes to love, and he supposedly has a special relationship with another J-Rocker named "Hyde" and fans of course take it to the next level.

1) This is a photo-shopped image, where Gackt is originally kissing a girl, but add Hyde's wing tattoos, and who can tell the difference?

2) Here's a poster of the vampire movie they did together "Moon Child"

3) And here's them just hanging out

But anyways, Gackt has a great voice (even if I don't understand what he's singing) and very nice for the eyes ;)
 
I actually own Moon Child, got it for only $10. Hyde's actually a pretty good actor, Gackt isn't too bad in it either, but he's quite the dork.
 
I personally dont really see the connection here. Although I think you could of been less rude about criticizing Nikkolas' topic VengefulRonin.

Boohoo. He makes threads with ridiculous comparisons and doesn't give any supporting background. He confused people with his Yugioh thread who didn't know shit about the series and confused Darkstar cuz he didn't know who Gackt was.
 
Alright now, let's not stir up any drama... =P Let's stick back to the topic.
 
^ I will. I just have one line I wish to defend myself against. THe rest is useless waffle not worth replies.

Are you saying I post lies or wrong information?

Back to the topic...

Depends on the vampire mythos you follow in regards to the sunlight bit.
Also why would he have to write songs about vampirism just because he thinks he's a vampire?
It be like saying I'd have to write songs about being a white teenager because if I didn't, I'm obviously not.

No. By valid information I meant information that's actually helpful so that people can understand your comparisons. Although wrong information does apply to this thread.

It's MUCH more likely that he only claims to be a vampire to add some mystique to his persona and get more people interested. But if you want to think it's a conspiracy or that he's out of his mind and really does believe he's a vamp, go ahead. I don't think anyone else agrees with your opinions though.
