[discussion] VISUALIVE - next is the last?
The issue of PATi-PATi with that gorgeous cover hit the shelves yesterday, and alongside the beautiful photos and double sided poster is an interview with GACKT (plus one with GACKT, Jon and Takumi promoting the YFCz album).
GACKT is asked about VISUALIVES, and specifically when the next one is likely to be.
This is his answer -
だからすべて運動してる。例えばは『ＭＯＯＮ ＳＡＧＡ - 義経秘伝」の舞台にしろ、僕がソロ名義でやることのすべては次のＶＩＳＵＡＬＩＶＥに向かって動いてるものなんだよ。僕の中では、次が最後のＶＩＳＵＡＬＩＶＥになるかなぁって思うところが正直あるから、だからこそじっくり作り上げたいと思って。
"Including MOON SAGA, everything I do in my name (solo) is a movement toward the next VISUALIVE. To be honest, I have a feeling that the next one will be my last VISUALIVE, so that's all the more reason why I want to take my time in creating it."

(Huge thanks to excused_early for double checking my understanding on that!)
What are your thoughts on this?
Why do you think he believes the next VISUALIVE will be his last?
Does this make you more determined to go to Japan for a VISUALIVE? Started saving already?
(I feel that it needs to be pointed out that GACKT has a history of changing his mind on these kind of things. If he was true to his word, he would have retired at least 15 times before 2010 yet he's still going strong.)
