Hi, a Japanese here two years later. Not only his pronunciation, but his choice of words and sense of humor is adjusted to English speakers. Having spent 17years of my life abroad, I can vouch that this is extremely rare in Japan. Maybe the secret is that he is from Okinawa. The US military base is pretty much a part of your life there. But then again, one can sense how intelligent he is, if he actually picked upped the basics there and studied beyond that. Amazing.
Even before becoming a TH-camr Gackt has always been such a huge troll. There are clips lying around of him being on variety shows being an absolute comedy legend and I am so glad I discovered him through his music, he is a treasure~
Is it me or Gackt seems way to chill or maybe depressed. Maybe he gets tired of being praised so much after so many years of fame. Even though he's always joking.
From what I've seen, he always acts in that way. Since the beginning on TV He is like super serious and talk in a super flat way but every time he wants he starts making jokes and saying stupid stuff
Nah, it's not just you. There's always been an underlying tiredness/sadness behind his cool exterior and weird jokes, even back in Malice Mizer days. He claims he actually has social anxiety and is an introvert, but forces himself to do the opposite of who he is, which makes every public interaction seem a bit (very) forced.
@@fomorians I like him, I'm in introvert and have social anxiety myself but opening up is a healing process it shouldn't be forced. I hope the best for him.
but when he's doing bit with his Japanese fellow.. he's freakin wild.. go check it out.. the dude just loud and fun, completely different with this one
hardly. drug use carries a heavy penalty here, even if you’re caught using it overseas. gackt always played a character, obviously he’s not always the way he portrays himself. I have no clue why so many people are talking about him being stoned. do people actually believe gackt is like his persona all the time?
@@itstruethough604 You're not wrong, but I recall in an old Heyx3 interview, he had been busted with pot at the airport at least once. Maybe he was joking though cuz it seemed like it would have been a way bigger deal back then.
I accidentally found out about Gackt when I was still in highschool. A girl I used to sit by on the bus was like here is some music I like, maybe you will like it too. It was Doomsday, Lu:Na, and something from Ouran High. So glad I met that girl I have loved Gackt ever since.
Gackt is so talented. He can play multiple instruments and speak many languages. His English was pretty good. Hes Def a genius . It's a shame I was trying to find out what he's up to now. All I read is he went on hiatus and lives in Malaysia. Prob retiring.
Okinawans will kick your a#s..... Gackt is the most fascinating character in all of Japan. There's nothing cooler than an artist who says he doesn't like his albums.
@@_rikcy Japanese people don't have sarcastic dark humor-usually. Look at any Japanese game show, everyone is over the top, wacky, silly, trying to be loud and act crazy to get a rise out of the audience because the Japanese usually are very serious and take things that are said seriously. You need to outmatch their energy to get them to laugh. even jokes. You can't make monotone-sarcastic-edgy/dark jokes to a Japanese person out of the blue and expect a chuckle or laugh, they will think you're being serious and or wonder if you're crazy. Like if Gackt had told a normal interviewer that Malice Mizer guys are dead, no one would laugh, and they'd seriously wonder if the guys were dead or if Gackt is mentally ill lmao. But all throughout this video, Gackt is clearly being sarcastic and making jokes about almost everything, something that I feel mainly a western audience would realize, and it is funny as hell because I know he's being a goof and almost everything he says is to mess with Joey.
yeah, other than in niche places like futaba, people are never sarcastic here and mainstream humor is absolute shit. any westerner couldn’t stand 5 minutes of japanese tv here. it’s not that we are incapable of sarcasm, it’s more that it’s very frowned upon and not a good characteristic. people like to pretend they are clueless and goody goody but people here can be just as bad as anyone else, they just hide it better. you can look up the concept of 本音 and 建前. it sums up everything about our culture. people just forget about shit like how Japanese trolls got a little girl (Roro-chan) to literally kill herself, coercing her about how famous she’s going to be after that. and the infinite nationalist threads hating on Koreans and Chinese people that pop up every day at futaba there’s great and awful people here just like everywhere else. also anime is not as popular here as people in the west think, and being too into anime is seen as creepy for the average person. that’s the first shocker that every westerner here gets lmao if you ask the average person about their favorite anime they’re going to say some generic trendy anime or doraemon or whatever this country is not just shibuya or harajuku and if you actually act like someone from those places here in the countryside, you’re just going to get disgusted looks at the train. people forget this country is majorly composed of old farts, not the cringy harajuku lolitas and menhera chans that pop up on their pinterest or something like that. it’s a backwards and aging society with a constantly flunking economy.
@@nesnonya3463 That explains the hate he has gotten over these comments, a HUGE Miscommunication due to cultural differences. That's crazy....and how unfortunate. This could be a stretch but I suspect he may also be autistic...due to how autistic people also joke with dark humor; to deal with trauma or dark times. The fact he understands american humor as well, is damn amazing. He is very Intelligent, and a troll. (like the rest of Malice Mizer from what I had noticed; they all were equally Trollish...Much less Kami but Kami was just a sweetheart vibin, and Mana was...Mana xD; But Kozi and Yu~ki trolled alot.)
His phrasing in English is a little awkward, but it's obvious his comprehension is pretty damn close to fluent. You have to be fluent to troll like that
I've been a fan of Gackt since i was a kid he's always been introverted but really funny. Of course when hes around people hes known for a while he's more excited but either way i love watching him do shows or interviews. I love him so much.
I just noticed that when he speaks English, he even pronounces the Japanese words as a westerner/foreigner, effing legend!
I noticed that too, it’s so funny.
Yeah I was surprised af to hear "karaadee" from a japanese person lol
I also do that
My first language is spanish, and sometimes I do that even with my name, hahaha

sounds like me when I'm drunk, he said he likes to drink though.
To be fluent enough in english to be super charismatic and witty, only Gackt can do this. Legend!
2:37 That "really?" 🤣I think he took it as permission to kick his ass, that's why he was surprised
I mean gackt did say he would kill the anime man to become the second anime man
@@mewowow Wuh oh
it seems like hes stoned lmfao

The taekwondo: it's i-dan, or second degree. He's instructor level.

He owns a real estate company in Malaysia.
last time i got an update on him he was in saitama filming something at a beach
what in the world is this crossover haha
ARMYYYY
@@jhopesstrawberry9707 haha yes hi
@@zarasarwar8836 eww
Been a fan of this man for like 13 years or so, his music literally dragged me out of the darkest time of my life.
Okinawans will kick your a#s..... Gackt is the most fascinating character in all of Japan. There's nothing cooler than an artist who says he doesn't like his albums.
I wish he would make a second interaction with gackt. I can’t stop laughing at gackts answers.
Yo a dir en grey interview would be insane, if even possible I know it’d be hard to contact them
he's a major TROLL :D
I love that Gackt doesn't have Japanese humor. Very western humor
whats the difference?

this country is not just shibuya or harajuku and if you actually act like someone from those places here in the countryside, you’re just going to get disgusted looks at the train.

I love Gackt but i couldn't look his room at the Japanese TV program.
This movie is very valuable!
Ngl some male japanese Joey interview is kindda intimidating
Maye you should include the link of the interview on the description but nice video
I don't need a link to the video, this here is all the video I need
His phrasing in English is a little awkward, but it's obvious his comprehension is pretty damn close to fluent. You have to be fluent to troll like that
0:48ここマジで草
You forget the part it was his studio or his studio or his studio
I've been a fan of Gackt since i was a kid he's always been introverted but really funny. Of course when hes around people hes known for a while he's more excited but either way i love watching him do shows or interviews. I love him so much.
Gacktさん！？
He was in Bujingai.
Ugh I'm so jealous!! This is the dream!
a yea the face of every final fantasy character ( genesis XD ) man i listened a lot of gackt in the past but now not so much
今日がいい日でありますように．
1:57 mission passed
Respect +
Haha Nice! Only wish the interview was included.
They already did.....
I am not even a minute into the video and I'm already giggling and smiling uncontrollably. (Why yes, I am a fangirl, how could you tell?)
Him ~~ with Joey felt like a crossoverrr
U can call people like gackt a daddy but u can't call people like miura ryosuke or takaya yamaguchi a daddy because they're not even so old yet 😂
"nidan" is "second dan", which is basically two levels after the black belt.
Oh hell yeah, bro can fight
What the fuck is even happening??? 💀
Gackt is such a troll omg 😅
ANATA WOOO DAKISHIME NEMURITAI
CHAD
im sad they didn't said anything about kamen rider 😢
A singer - doesnt like his albums.
Starts a youtube channel, would like to quit once he reaches 1M.
Love it 👍
Joey is just too fucking awkward
Where can i find the full version?
source? I don’t see any source in the description of this video…
No me había dado cuenta antes, pero ahora con esta entrevista al fin me Di cuenta que Gackt es arrogante.
What made you realize that from the interview !?
Bastante! o no estaba de humor . .
Dude was probably high in this tour
I think he is a girl in real 🙂 that's not a body of man
