Kingdom Rock Show (September 27, 2003)

Before the performances, there’s a short of clip of an interview with Gackt where he says they (Gackt and his band) are a rowdy bunch of guys, but when they get on the stage, they are serious about what they are doing. They don’t do anything half-heartedly, and they really want to reach the audience that has come to watch them. Gackt wore the long white coat from the Jougen no Tsuki tour for this performance. Gackt and GacktJob perform Lu:na first. Gackt and several of the masked dancers (some are dressed in black and others are dressed in white) from the tour do their choreographed dance moves. In the middle of the performance, there is a fight scene where the dancers pull out swords, and Gackt even does some tumbling moves. It is an all-out performance, just like he did during the tour.

Next he performs Fragrance. He starts out standing on the stage, surrounded by a few of his dancers, frozen in place. He moves his hands beautifully in the air, and appears to awaken and then control the masked dancers. During the middle portion of the song, he swings his arms up and down, as if he is flying, continues to move his hands around, and then whispers a line over and over. The floor of the stage is covered in thick, rolling fog, and at times it appears as if the dancers are swimming in the fog. As the song ends, the dancers disappear one by one until Gackt is alone on the stage.

The final song Gackt performs is Speedmaster. Before Gackt comes out to sing, GacktJob jams together for a little bit. Gackt then comes out and shouts to the audience, and does some call-and-response with them. Then Speedmaster kicks in, and columns of thick smoke shoot into the air all across the front of the stage. He does a lot of intense headbanging during the song, and falls to his knees several times. There is also some mild fanservice with Chacha. It’s an extremely hot and steamy performance, like Speedmaster always is!

Music Fair

December 4, 2004
This was Gackt’s first appearance on Music Fair. He says that he has never watched Music Fair because he doesn’t have a television at home. He talks a little bit about performing in movies, and his plans for Christmas. He says he has plans to go to Korea for Christmas. He performed Kimi ni Aitakute wearing a black leather jacket and black leather pants. His hair is dark and parted on the side. He is sitting alone on a stage with soft dark blue lighting, and he’s accompanied by a piano that plays on its own. He also performed Juunigatsu no Love Song wearing a long black coat, accompanied by GacktJob on acoustic instruments. There are white “snowflakes” swirling in the air throughout the performance.

In this episode, Gackt first talks about how he doesn’t like women who fix their make up in front of people. He also says he prefers that they don’t wear lipstick because it leaves a mark when he kisses them. He also doesn’t like when a woman orders dessert after saying that she is full and can’t finish her meal. He feels bad for the people who made the food! He performed Metamorphoze and Redemption, wearing the black and red Dirge of Cerberus outfit he wore during the DIABOLOS tour. His hair is in cornrows and he also has the curly extensions he wore during the tour. The stage was lit up with blue and white lights. At the end of the Redemption performance, the background turns a warm red and orange, and smoke billows up in the back.

Music Fighter

May 13, 2005
In this short segment, Gackt talks about how he designed sunglasses that won’t fall off. He demonstrates by doing some headbanging and showing that the sunglasses don’t fall off because they hook inside the top of the ear. Gackt and GacktJob performed Black Stone wearing the outfits they wore in the PV. Gackt’s hair is short, but he has long braided extensions in his hair, clipped back with a silver clip. The stage was decorated with white stone-looking walls, and the floor was made up of squares that lighted up with different colors. There was also smoke that came blowing up out of the front of the stage.

When Gackt first comes out, he says he is really happy because he gets to finally meet the female host, Ayako Kisa. This episode is about love, and they read letters sent to the show asking for advice. In the first letter, a fourteen year old boy says he has been dating a girl for three months and wants to kiss her, but is afraid of being rejected and doesn’t know when the right timing is to kiss her. Gackt’s advice is, “Just hurry up and do it!” He says when he wants to kiss a girl, he’ll just kiss her. Then Ayako asks how his first kiss was like, and Gackt says it was when he was five or six years old, and he kissed a teacher that he thought was really pretty. He says the teacher had a boyfriend that picked her up, and at that time Gackt really wished he could be bigger and not be a child. The second letter was from a twenty-eight year old man; he has been married for two years, was living happily with his wife, but then found out his wife was being unfaithful for a year. They talked and she stopped seeing the other man. He still loves his wife, and can’t imagine getting a divorce, but wonders if things could still go well after her unfaithfulness. Gackt first says he is irritated by the guy. He says he should just forgive her. He believes that if the woman started liking another guy, then it’s him (the husband) who is at fault. Next the guy host asks what type of girl Gackt likes. Gackt says someone who has a nice smile, speaks well and has a beautiful voice. He then comments that Ayako has a nice smile and he wished he had met her earlier, before she got married. He continues, saying that if she were single, he would definitely make a move on her!

Musix (April 30, 2002)

Gackt appeared in a segment of this show called Bar Woodstock, hosted by the comedy duo, キャイーン. These are the same two who appeared on Hey!Hey!Hey! with Gackt in 2006, Udo and Amano. On this show, Udo is playing a bartender and Amano is a regular customer. Gackt orders grapefruit juice and sits at the bar with Amano. Udo opens a can of beer which sprays all over Gackt. Gackt and Amano talk about how they met and how they go driving together, and they once went to Umihotaru because Gackt likes the blue lights they have there. At the end, Udo makes a special drink for Gackt. Gackt performed Wasurenaikara wearing the black and white leather jacket he wore in Moon Child. His hair was straight and blonde. In the middle of the song, gold confetti shoots out and comes raining down. Gackt looked and sounded fantastic in this performance.
