Sengoku Basara

hey guys. Sorry it has been so long.

GACKT has been fairly quiet major news wise, and I've been busy working on a book I am writing. Anyhoo... finally some cool news.

Fans of the video game turned anime "Sengoku Basara" (like me) can look forward to a live action version of the video game/anime, starring GACKT as warlord Oda Nobunaga.

 I personally think he'd have been better as Masamune Date... but its cool to see him at all. I'm looking forward to it.

Bounty Killer - Gackt Game

There is a little more information about Bounty Killer... the weird project Gackt is producing that looks like either a video game or a casino slot machine.

It seems now, according to this site http://www1.yamasa.co.jp/bok/ ...

it is both. This is a Japan-only PS3-exclusive slot machine game to be released in Japanese format in October.

The main character in the game is modeled after Gackt (Looking much like Gackt in the Vanilla video and perhaps a bit of his character in the game Bujingai.), and his music will also be featured in the game. Tracks like 'Another World,' White Eyes,' and 'Justified' are included in the soundtrack.

Gackt also produces this game.

The above site has screenshots.

exactly HOW the slot machine relates to game play hasn't been described as of yet, but my guess... if you get three 7's in a row at a maxium bet at the casino... you win a LOT of money. If you get three 7's in a row in this game, you'll get a major progression in the game, or score a major bounty. That's the only way I can think of it.

I guess we'll have to see when our Japanese friends let us know what they think about the game.

Gackt is a Lover not a Fighter

Recently, Gackt sang the Japanese National Anthem at the WBC title match 3/8/08.

From reports I’ve read online, I believe one of the fighters is a close friend of Gackt’s.

Unofficial Gackt Fanpage Contest!

Super Hero Gackt Contest has been cancelled

Sry to those who have sent in entries...

there just weren't enough entries to validate a contest with prizes I had to buy out of my own pocket.

if there had been more entries it would have been different, but if I have to pay for prizes, I'd prefer to have a better contest turn out.

Again, Sorry to those who did send in entries to participate.

I will try a contest again in the future so keep an eye out.
