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 Translations

for those of you who do not speak Japanese

but want to know what the heck Gackt's Myspace blogs are saying....

Visit HERE

I am running a Gackt myspace translation blog

The translations are to the best of my ability, I am not an expert yet by any means

but you'll at least get the general idea

Bounty Killer

What exactly is this?

if you watch THIS VIDEO

It appears to be an arcade / slot machine game.

Sound production/supervision and voice-over by Gackt

It APPEARS to be a Japanese Casino slot machine game.. kinda

That's really all the information I have on this. More will come hopefully soon.

Bunraku pic

This picture comes courtesy of the Bunraku Blog, who got it courtesy of cmsgackt, who got it courtesy of the volume 28 Gackt Dears Magazine. This is Gackt once again, in costume. It appears to be a screen cap from the movie itself.

Fun Gackt news

Not much news wise going on, but a big thanks to the bunraku blog for this gem.

Here's a pic of Gackt in costume and makeup on the set of Bunraku

And here's a freakin funny video of him goofing off on set.

Speaking of freakin funny videos... peek at this one! LOL

Gackt Translations (Link Fixed)

I've updated the Gackt Translation Page that translates Gackt's myspace blogs, so check it out. Again, I translated to the best of my ability. I'm still working on my Japanese, so it may not be 100% accurate, but you'll get the main point.

Also, for those emailing me about rumored tours and albums, please note that nothing is official, and I don't want to get anyone's hopes up in case it falls through, or in case there are some changes before the official release of information.

I'll just say it appears there may be a Nation-Wide tour in Japan coming up from the end of 2008 through 2009... But there are various rumors as to what its about, and where the exact tour dates will be, that I can not confirm. So I will hold off on reporting about it.

Thanks for understanding.

Happy Birthday Gackt

Thanks to those who participated in the Gackt Birthday Special!!

CLICK HERE to see the special birthday blog.

I'll be doing some emailing to make sure Gackt gets your messages. Thanks again for helping me let Gackt know how special he is to us.

(The blog link has been sent through his official site, as a message on his official myspace site, and posted as a comment on his myspace site.)

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y G A C K T

*Quick Edit*

The message I sent through myspace to his official myspace blog was marked as 'read' which means either Gackt read it, or someone who works for DEARS did and may be kind enough to pass the message along.

Thanks again to all those who participated.

There you guys go. Just some updates after cleaning up my blog a bit. ^_^

Back! Some Gackt Schtuff (Edited)

I'M BACK!!

For those who didn't notice (lol) I was on vacation for the last week. A whole 7 days without internet connectivity. ARGH!! Even so, it doesn't appear I missed much Gackt news while I was gone last week.

The only things I could find came from the Bunraku blog that gave us this pic...

a possible storyboard for a scene from the movie. (no word on if this scene will appear in the movie or not.)

According to the site, there was also a pic from Bunraku on gackt-and-dears.com that showed Gackt in makeup that depicted him bloodied.

it was removed according to Japanese law as 'questionable content' for its violent implications, because young people have access to the community website.

huh. Like they don't have access to pics like this?

However,

I don't claim to understand all of Japan's laws. lol. So we're going to have to wait to the movie.

Anyhoo.

That's it for now. Just glad to be home. ^_^

Don't forget to visit my station http://myspace.com/otakuusaradio

I have a new show up and running on Mondays and Wednesdays. (My all request J-Rock shows)

Ja Mata

Ara

(Screenboard of Bunraku is drawn by Neil D'Monte )

*The picture has been removed

There are too many stories as to why it is not available online from copyright issues, to questionable content laws, to it being considered too much of a *spoiler*

I can't sift through which one is the real reason, so until the picture is officially posted again, I've removed it.

Some Gackt updates

Surprisingly quiet on the Gackt font.

Unfortunatly - despite my prying using my charm, no one is talking about the vocaloid project.

The only thing I can think of, is that they are in TALKS with Gackt, but since nothing is in writing, they're trying to keep it under wraps. but if I can get one of them to spill the beans, I'll let you know.

-----

I'm still getting angry mail about Joost and his selling of Gackt's music as his own.

He still does not credit Gackt on the CD he's been recently pushing... even though he finally admits they are "Gackt inspired." So much so that he doesn't feel the need to mention Gackt for those who may not know Gackt? A true Gackt fan would use it as an opportunity to turn new fans onto his "idol".

If you want to lay in the heat - visit http://joostmaglev.com and let him know your dissatisfaction with how he's conducting himself as a supposed "artist" or go straight to http://gackt.com and let Dears and Gackt know.

-----

Yes it is true. Gackt does have a new dog. He has long haired white Chihuahua he has named Eneru, who is reportedly 1 year old.

I do know know what the name represents. As it stands from what I've found online, he has not "officially" introduced the J-Rock world to Eneru, thus has not given an explination as to his name.

Someone has told me that he had officially talked about Eneru, but I can not verify the source, nor find the video on youtube where he does so.

But whichever way you look at it...

lucky dog!!

^_^

I've looked Eneru up and I've only found a few references to anime characters named Eneru - most notably from the anime One Peice,

and I found the world Enerugi in my English/Japanese dictionary - which means "Energy".

No pictures are currently available with the acception of this:



this is a sticker that fans get if they sign up for the Dears or Save our Dears credit cards.

I believe the credit cards are for Japanese residents only? You'll have to look into that at http://Gackt.com

Save our Dears is a charity Gackt origionally posted to help victims of the major Niigata Prefecture earthquake last year.


He continues his efforts for victims of Natural Disasters.

(Thanks to http://gackt.com for the above pic.)

Gackt gets 60 year old women's panties in a bunch

(That title got your attention, ne?)

well..

No news is good news I suppose.

Most Gackt news refers to things I’ve already talked about.

Gackt voicing the role of the main bad guy in the Japanese version of Aurther and the invisibles

Gackt wrapping up the filming of Fuurin Kazan

and a little talk about Gackt’s Community Site

The only NEW, news (If you can call it that) comes from This article that basically says Middle-aged and Elderly women also find Gackt hot.

A little behind the time... but better late than never, ne?

he seems to have developed a following of women aged 40 to 60 and some a bit older than that thanks to his work in Fuurin Kazan.

Otherwise, no new news. I hope that means he’s working his butt off. ^_^ what butt he has. lol.

That’s it for now

ja mata!
