In this episode, Gackt wore his red and gold jacket adorned with tigers and a white tank top underneath. They started out by showing clips of the Gackt Best 10, which included PVs, television appearances and concert clips. The number 1 clip was his performance of Another World at the 2001 Super Live. Gackt then talks about how Koichi Domoto is always imitating the way he performs Kimi no Tameni Dekirukoto, while Tsuyoshi imitates his voice. They are both sitting next to him, and are happy to demonstrate their Gackt imitations. He also talks about going on Tsuyoshi’s show, Shoujiki Shindoi. Tamori (the host) asks Gackt how he feels when he appears on television shows, and Gackt says he is really nervous during the talk portion but during the performance he is excited. And Koichi jokes that that’s why Gackt gets stuck in the position where his hand is raised up in the beginning of Kimi ga Oikaketa Yume. Gackt performed Kimi ga Oikaketa Yume accompanied by GacktJob. The stage is set up with circular arches in front of Gackt, making it look like a lit-up tunnel. There are green laser beams shooting out from behind the stage. The lights shining on the ceiling are purple, making the whole “sky” purple.

When Gackt first comes out, he is wearing a sleeveless shirt and black pants. He later changes into a black cloak for his performance of Tsuki no Uta. Hyde is also on the show, and Tamori asks them about how they first met, and what they do together. Gackt talks about how he wrote a book (for Moon Child) and Hyde came to mind as he thought about one of the characters. He then asked Hyde if he wanted to make the Moon Child movie together. Hyde says that he thought it would be bad if he was in the movie because he had never acted before. Gackt knew that Hyde could definitely play the part. Tamori asks if an imagine of him came to mind while writing the book, and Gackt says, unfortunately, no. They talk about going snowboarding together, and Tamori is shocked because he thinks Gackt can’t go out in the sunlight. Gackt says he covers himself up completely before he goes out snowboarding. Hyde says that Gackt is really good at snowboarding, and then Gackt says that it’s Hyde that really stands out. They also go out drinking together and play pool, and again they praise each other about who is better at playing pool. Gackt says when they first went to play pool together, Hyde said he knew how to play a little, but actually he was really good. Turns out that Hyde worked at a pool hall before! For the performance of Tsuki no Uta, Gackt is standing on stage surrounded by flaming torches and thick white fog covering the ground. There is a masked violinist (You?) also on stage with him. In the middle part of the song, Gackt does some hand motions, which the hostess later explains meant “I will never forget you.”

In this clip, a guest is talking about her role in a new movie. Tamori asks her if it’s going well, and she says so far it’s going well, but she gets nervous. While she’s talking about it, she suddenly turns to Gackt and asks for his advice. She asks how he would prepare for things like love scenes. He says it would be fastest to just make a move and fall in love. He says for him, he thinks it would be faster to be able to treat the other person like his girlfriend. Then the actress asks him how he makes moves on girls, and he says that he actually doesn’t really make moves, but just kisses them and that’s it. Gackt comments that he didn’t know until just then that she was only 15 years old, and he wondered if it was alright to be sitting next to her!

The talk portion of this clip is very short, with Gackt telling Tamori about his house, how it’s dark and the ceiling in his house is 7 to 8 meters high. Tamori asks why it’s so high, and Gackt says he wanted a trampoline. They continue talking about the trampoline, and Gackt says he actually does jump on it, even though his staff told him it’s dangerous. Tamori says it looks difficult to do, and Gackt says he can do flips in the air when jumping on the trampoline. He mentions that he does sparring too, and then comments that it would be really fun to jump on the trampoline and box at the same time! Gackt performs Last Song playing acoustic guitar along with You and Chacha. He is wearing a thick casual grey sweater and black pants. The walls around him are dark, with pinpoints of white light. In the middle of the performance, “snow” comes falling down from the sky. And near the end of the performance, three blonde girls wearing white dresses appear standing on the stage. In the final scene, they disappear.

For the B’z song, he talks about a breakup that happened ten years ago, and how this song started playing while he was driving in his car right after the break up. The song was on a mix tape that his friend had made him. He thought the song lyrics matched his situation, and he learned at that time that the song was by B’z.

During the first talk portion, Gackt talks about his fountain at home. Tamori is amazed at this and asks if there’s river at the bottom, and Gackt says there’s a pool. He says he turns the fountain off during the summer. Next, they read a letter to Gackt, asking him why he speaks so softly. Gackt says he speaks softly because a doctor told him he should protect his voice, which can get damaged when he is on tour due to all his singing. He now has the habit of speaking softly. Gackt then talks about how he went to a department store in America and asked for help, but they were like “Huh??” because they couldn’t hear him. Gackt performed Arittake no Ai de wearing a pink floral print shirt, brown pants and pink tinted sunglasses. He stood on a small elevated platform, surrounded by the audience, the camera spinning around him. You, Chacha and Ju-ken were also on the outside of the circle, playing acoustic instruments. Gackt appeared happy and relaxing, smiling and clapping throughout the performance.

Gackt talks about getting into a quarrel with a girl who called at him, “Hey Gackt!” and he said to her, “It’s not Gackt, it’s Gackt-SAN!” The girl responded by saying, “Scary!!”, causing Gackt to get angry and say, “Are you an idiot?!” He says that he wants girls to speak like girls, and not say words like chou, hara and dekkai. He also says he switches to Kansai ben when he gets angry, saying things like “Aho ka!!” A full translation of this clip can be found in the Translations section. Gackt and GacktJob performed Black Stone wearing the same outfits they wore in the PV. He has some trouble with the headset mic; he had to adjust it in the back in the beginning, and then one of his hair strands gets caught in the mic, which Gackt playfully twirls around as he sings. The back of the stage is decorated with a silvery foil material that is lighted green and yellow.

In the first part, the host is talking to Aiko who says that when she’s on a show with Gackt, he’s always saying things to her like “when the camera goes on you, put your finger in your nose.” Then during Gackt’s talk portion, Tamori asks what Gackt did for his birthday. Gackt says he drove to Kyoto to eat ramen for his birthday, but took the shinkansen back to Tokyo. He also says he’s not the type that usually gets hot, but often gets cold. Gackt performed Todokanai Ai to Shitteita noni Osaekirezuni Aishitsuzuketa… wearing the all-black outfit he wore for the PV. GacktJob also wore all black. Gackt’s hair was brown and parted on the side. The stage was decorated with columns wrapped in red cloths. Near the beginning of the song, Gackt suddenly looks to his right as if he heard something. It didn’t seem to affect his concentration, though, as the rest of his performance was great as usual.

In the first talk portion, Tamori says he ran into Gackt eating soba at a soba shop. Later, Gackt talks about going to Korea and they show clips of his arrival at the airport, being mobbed by the Korean fans. He talks about the concert in Korea, and how the stage was moving up and down so much because of the audience jumping up and down. At first he thought that the stage was faulty, but then realized that it was just all the jumping of the fans causing it. Gackt performed Redemption wearing the black and red outfit from Dirge of Cerberus, which he also wore during the DIABOLOS tour. He also wore the cornrows and long curly extensions from the tour, and used the specially designed mic. The stage was decorated with scaffold-like towers and was lighted in gold and red.

They first mention that Gackt’s song, RETURNER~闇の終焉~ (RETURNER~yami no shuuen~), was number one on the Oricon chart for this week. When Gackt comes out right before his performance, he has changed into his RETURNER outfit, which is a tattered, long black leather coat. He is also wearing a black eyepatch over his right eye (probably in reference to Yamamoto Kansuke, the main character in Fuurin Kazan). The hosts first comment about his outfit and his long hair, which is a wig. Gackt jokes that it suddenly grew long from when they saw him just a few minutes before. He then explains that he is wearing it because he is currently playing Uesugi Kenshin in the Taiga drama, Fuurin Kazan. Tamori asks if he always wears it through the filming, and Gackt responds that he always keeps it on, even when he eats; he then jokes, saying that Tamori probably keeps his wig on all the time too!

It is very simply lighted with blue and red lights.
