Hello everyone!
I discovered this article in Chinese in a free local paper today about Gackt and it's not good news. Although it sounds quite "tabloid", I'm not sure whether anyone has heard of this so I'm wondering if it's true?
More about the article here...
That's a scan of the article and the title means that Gackt has "hooked" onto fangirls. It has rather.. negative connotations.
I translated it quite badly from Chinese but this is the main gist:
The article was about how Gackt released his personal email address to his fans last year on the 17th of July to stop people from claiming to be him and then he used this form of communication to get girls to go out with him. The article implies some kind of sexual relationship occurred between Gackt and the girls he went out with after communicating with them through email. [The article calls them "sacrifices"] They also interviewed his ex-girlfriend who is a 30 year old singer from some band I don't recognise, and she says that after having a relationship with him/one-night stand with him [the phrase used is ambiguous] he dumped her and currently ignores her. She also claims that he throws tantrums at people who annoy him and tells her to reflect upon herself when such a thing happens. The article finally ends off with saying that his ex-girlfriend thinks he treats girls like slaves.
I'm pretty sure this is all tabloid gossip but then again, I'm not familiar with the Japanese news. Since this is an article in Chinese, the newspaper most likely got it from a source in Taiwan I think.
I hope someone can solve this mystery!
