"The Tempest"

The Tempest is a new Historical Drama from NHK (who many will remember, ran the historical drama Furin Kazan).

Tempest is about a woman who uses her beauty and talent of imitation to gain power in the government. It takes place at the end of the Ryukyu Dynasty.

GACKT has been announced as having an original character on the series.

There is no word on who that original character is, or how big of a part GACKT will play. No air date has been set at this time either... but it's still something to look forward to.

Another 7.1 Earthquake

Hey guys. Please keep Japan in your thoughts and prayers at this time. They have suffered yet another 7.1 earthquake and are once again on the watch for another potential tsunami.

New Gackt Site and Japan Fund Raiser

Gackt has been heading a Japanese quake relief effort through the "show your heart" foundation. To date they have raised 170,000,000 yen.

For friends of Japan who would still like to help the relief effort... please visit http://redcross.org Even for a small donation of $10, the red cross would be able to buy purified bottled water to send to Japan.

In other Gackt News... I have decided to close down the Gackt News Myspace page. Myspace has gotten less user friendly. I have past blogs that were written in white against a black background. They changed the format and now the lettering is invisible and it won't let me fix the previous blogs... so I've reopened the Gackt News Fan site Here:

Feel free to stop buy, friend the site and keep up to date on the latest Gackt news. Thanks again for understanding.
