The song I chose for today is not exactly a new one. Yuki no Hana was released in 2003 and it belongs to Mika Nakashima, although there have been quite a few other musicians who covered it in different languages. For example, I remember first listening to Hayley Westenra singing Snow Flower and only afterwards […]
Walking around aimlessly by myself Breathing a faint sigh, my breath turns white Seasons change, and in this fleeting season.. My tears fall for no reason “Even now, I still love you” (source) The lyrics are from the beginning of Gackt’s 2003 song, Last Song. When I discovered his music, this one was among the […]
“You are a sincere moralist. You touch me with your pretty fingers. I am like a pure terrorist, Revolutions are occurring as you wish.” My lovelies, today I want to speak about a 1999 song, Gackt’s Vanilla. There are various versions you can turn to, one sexier than the other, and I can guarantee that […]
I know that I should probably pay more attention to Gackt’s newer songs, but I keep returning to older ones. This time, the one having my attention is Etude, from the 2005 album, Love Letter. But it’s an older piece, from the time of Cains:Feel. I’m glad it has not been lost, that we can listen […]

A couple of months ago, I wrote an article about Gackt and his fans, myself included. Today, I want to speak about a song I discovered in May, Fragrance. It’s not a secret that I prefer silence when I work, but I turn to music whenever I take a break. This song is on my […]
While I was writing about Fragrance, my mind kept running back to another one of Gackt‘s songs. It’s very short (less than three minutes) and it bears quite a delicate name: Sakurasou (Primrose). The song appeared on the 2005 album, Love Letter, but it reached my ears only a couple of months ago. I’ve been listening […]
For those of you who do not know who Gackt is, it’s really not that difficult to explain. He’s a Japanese musician. One who’s been around the music industry for almost twenty years now. If you know him, you don’t need me to tell you more about who he is. If you don’t, bear with […]
