[edit] Furachi Radio Show

Would anyone like to point me in the direction of the revision that had information on what the full title of Gackt's radio show was and how long it ran to? I know it was listed here at some point but... yeah, no info seems to stay here for long.

If nothing else, would someone that remembers/knows please update this article to include information on Furachi? I know he was doing radio shows for All Night Nippon some time in 2002 but I don't know when it changed to being called Furachi, or exactly when Furachi finished (other than that I think it was some time late in 2004).

If you check out Sawasdee, I believe there's some dates for his radio show there. It was on All Night Nippon, I know that much. I'm pretty sure it ran until 2004 (that's when I remember the site disappearing from ANN), and I believe he had it since 1999, but I'm not sure- that's where you'll have to check out sawasdee. ;) (Tsukiakari (talk) 04:14, 25 December 2007 (UTC))

Yeah but if I add that information, someone, somewhere will consider it irrelevant or something and it will get deleted. So I was hoping someone else would add that information and perhaps then it might stay. LauraOrganaSolo (talk) 19:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Languages

Can Gackt reall speak English, Korean, Cantonese and Mandarin? If there's not proof, you should probably put a ^{[citation needed]} there.

There's proof. Watch moon child for your chinese dialects and check out the Dears Community site for references to gackt attending his korean lessons. (Tsukiakari (talk) 02:15, 28 January 2008 (UTC))

I agree that there is definite proof out there. I don't know too much about his Korean, but on a Domoto Kyoudai show, he was prompted by Vivian Chen to speak in Chinese (Mandarin?) and he did so very well. Not only that but in his biography translated by fans includes a section where he talks about his love of learning the Chinese language. 66.27.48.174 (talk) 06:04, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cains:FEEL?

The first band he was in wasn't mentioned. The whole article just seems too short. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.122.193 (talk) 11:13, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia articles (biographies in particular) draw their content from reliable sources, so if nobody gets around to present a good reference for information on that band, it's not kept (see Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources). - Cyrus XIII (talk) 13:42, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

The only solid reference is in Jihaku since demo tapes can't exactly be cited. There's not too much to say about cains:feel anyway other than, "Gackt was in it." The band is obscure as well and there's not much, if any, printed material on them, either on indie flyers or indie magazine features which leads me to believe they were pretty short-lived anyway. (Tsukiakari (talk) 02:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC))

If it's mentioned in the bio, I'm sure we can work it in at the end of the Early life paragraph. Though as always, we should lose the stylized typography and just write "Cains Feel" then. - Cyrus XIII (talk) 14:16, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Hm, I had a couple of magazines scans that were of Cains Feel (my computer, though, is in another state), You and former GacktJOB member Ren were in the scans thus in Cains Feel, and the song "Etude" from Gackt's album Love Letter was from that Cains Feel demo tape. Otherwise, I agree with the comments that the band didn't last long before Gackt joined Malice Mizer. oncamera^(t) 21:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Oncamera, if you can some how get those scans up on photobucket or something and leave me a link to them, I'd love to see them. :) They're probably the only scans of the band ever. XD (Tsukiakari (talk) 03:27, 6 February 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Colon in "Lu:na"

Does the colon in the title of the song "Lu:na" serve any purpose other than decoration, i.e. a semantic distinction between individual elements of a composite? – Cyrus XIII ^(talk) 23:54, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Crisis Core involvement

Wasn't he a huge part of the game Crisis Core, serving as the base of a character model, and providing the voice? Surely this should be mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.53.153.196 (talk) 01:22, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

The article only lists examples of his involvement in anime and video games but if he still voiced the Genesis character in the Japanese version of Crisis Core, it is probably more notable than his brief appearance in Dirge of Cerberus. How does changing the latter to "games from the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII" sound? – Cyrus XIII ^(talk) 01:40, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gackpoid

This was announced on May 7th, 2008. It will be available in the middle of June.
