M: What circumstances led you to perform (on the streets)?
M: Gackt singing on the streets. That’s amazing.
F: It’s hard to imagine.
G: Well, I just broke up with my girlfriend then and had nothing to do during Christmas.
G: One of my (band) members said, “Let’s do a street performance and enjoy ourselves.”
[It was You by the way. The guitarist, You who asked him to do a street live to cheer him up. So far, the only songs I know they’ve performed are “Hanashitakuwanai” by T-Bolan, “Dakishimetai” by Mr. Children and this one “True Love” by Fumiya]

G: I listened to it for the first time.
G: And included in that list was Fumiya-san's “True Love”
M: So you sang that?
G: Yes.
F: Hard to imagine
M: Hard to imagine
M: I (really) want to hear it.
F: Indeed.

End of Ai Otsuka's performance
F: Gackt-san’s latest single is the theme song for The Gundam Z movie
F: Gackt-san himself likes Gundam so much that he can remember their lines (of the characters in Gundam).
Audience surprised
M: And there is a dolphin float in his dressing room.
Audience laughs
M: To even remember the lines... You are a huge fan?
G: I’ve always liked it.
G: The video… The DVD
G: I’ll keep rewinding them and watching them again.
G: And when I’m in the toilet, I’ll keep practicing.
M: You’ll practice the lines you like?
G: I’ll keep practicing.
M: Imitating them?
G: Yes, the feeling (Funiki: atmosphere, mood, feel)
M: Even now you can remember them?
G: I remember a lot.
M: Can you do one for us?

G: But even though we could not get along,
G: the moment we started talking about Gundam,
G: we became good friends all of a sudden.
