GACKTIONARY: 100 - I haven’t eaten rice in 10 years. If I eat rice, I won’t be able to maintain my body’s figure.
Other ingredients contain carbohydrates as well, so that’s why, at present, I don’t have any deliberate need to eat rice.
People would ask “Why?”, but the reason is also very simple. For work. It’s just to maintain my body so that my body shape would not collapse. Rice becomes heavy when it contains water, it makes it easier for the internal organs to sink down, and coming from me, who used to eat large amounts of rice, it is the least helpful food if you want to control the shape of your body. Thinking of my body condition and body shape first, I got rid of rice to make things easier to control, and compensated for it with other foods.
Fat guys have said to me things like “If you don’t eat carbohydrates, you won’t get nourishment, and you’ll lose power” but rather, that’s more like if you were the one to quit it (laughs). Isn’t it because you need power to maintain that fat body that you eat like cattle (laughs).
People often say to me, “Even though you’re Japanese?”, but, in the first place, this is a weird concept too. If you think that you have to eat rice because you’re Japanese, then it becomes a question of why are we making rice so weird even though we’re Japanese? Rice in the past was really high in nutrition, and there was a lot more delicious rice around. However, to increase productivity, we’re using agricultural chemicals at abnormal levels, and using chemically synthesised fertiliser as much as we want. It’s like, “Who does it like that! That wouldn’t make good rice!”. Like, “Are you a sword-wielding samurai!”.
For me, I really love rice. When I’m going to die, I want to be eating rice while dying. When I die, I want to eat rice to my heart’s content, and I want to die saying “I can’t eat any more…” while putting rice into my mouth. Like those would be my last words.
For someone like me, who loves rice this much, I’m holding my stance of giving up rice. This was something that I decided upon when I went solo, to first leave behind something I really love. If I were to put aside something that doesn’t mean that much to me, then I won’t be able to fulfil my dreams. That’s why I set aside the most important thing to me. And that was rice. That’s why I don’t eat rice. In everyone’s perspective, it’s like if you don’t have sex at all. Uesugi Kenshin put down his desire for women. Similar to that, I put down my desire for food. Kenshin denied himself of women, I deny myself of food.
However, even though Kenshin decided to not want women, he drank in large amounts everyday. He loved alcohol. In comparison to that, the thing that I can’t give up is… women I guess. That’s something I can’t really do… (laughs). To Kenshin, it’s alcohol, but to me, it’s women I guess.

GACKTIONARY: 99 - Smooth sailing is impossible to me.
My life is eventful. It’s seriously filled with adversity (laughs). I’m always at the edge of the precipice. But I like that. I’m having fun walking on the edge of the cliff, and I’m the type who can enjoy everything without freaking out. Anyway, smooth sailing is something I hate. There’s nothing interesting and it’s boring. For me, the number one thing I hate is boredom. Smooth sailing is the culmination of boredom in life.
This is about a friend who was thought to be unfortunate, anyway, among my friends, there’s a man who has 60 billion yen. He sold the IT company that he built up, then using that money from selling it, he invested it, and ended up with 60 billion yen in personal assets. In terms of monetary value, it is indeed amazing. It’s an incredible amount of money. For a normal person, that’s an amount that they’d never finish spending in one lifetime, it’s an amount that will be in excess no matter what a person does.
This guy said this to me. “I want to become like GACKT-san.” he said. When I asked “Why?”, he said that he’s been thinking about suicide for the past year. Nothing’s interesting, nothing’s enjoyable. In other words, he can no longer taste the enjoyment or troubles that he receives at that point in time.
If you don’t even have the talent to find interesting things that can’t be bought with money, then you won’t have any interest in things that can be bought with money. There’s no value in existing… It seems like that was what he was thinking.
In comparison to that, what I thought I was extremely blessed in was being able to use all the ideas that I have the create everything in my life and earn money from it. I think that this is an exceptionally interesting thing. There’s a big difference between growing your money through money-market speculation and producing money as a result of creating something. It’s very nice to live by producing things through money and such. However, putting that in another way, adversity exists there too. And if it ends once, in my case, there’s also a possibility that my life will end. Always on the edge of the precipice (laughs). Despite that, I love walking at the edge of a cliff or on the building's’ steel frame. If you say “But you know, steel frame there is narrow?”, I’d daringly want to go.
Well, I’m like a daredevil. Although it’s alright for me to remain as the devil like this, as an ally of humans who betrays bad friends, every time after a continuous string of hardships, I’ll take a break on that steel frame (laughs).

"IF YOU CAN'T LOVE YOUR OWN FAMILY, CAN YOU LOVE ANYONE ELSE'S?" - GACKT
I saw that you were perfect, and I loved you.
Then I saw that you were not perfect, and I loved you even more.

“I knew that I had to be really more serious about taking care of myself so I could take care of others. I wanted to stop being the guy who gives up halfway through and is content with mediocrity.”
21:00-21:54 「今夜くらべてみました」
今夜も楽しかったよ!
Even now, you’re still by my side Smiling at me with that sweet smile When I close my eyes, see, a myriad of seasons Quietly envelop me
Nobody knows what’s at the end Of this long journey But these uncertain nights will never come again
We can keep walking forever Together, now and forever This love I clutch close to my heart Will never change, this one unique “I love you”
The day I met you, like a little flower dancing in the wind Is far away There were days when we hurt each other because we were still too young But now they’re memories we can laugh at together
Don’t forget this promise we’re making Because you’re more important to me than anyone else I want to make the dreams you told me about come true, little by little
We can keep walking forever Together, now and forever This love I clutch close to my heart Will never change, this one unique “I love you”
We can keep walking forever Together, now and forever This love I clutch close to my heart Will never change, this one unique “I love you”
“I love you…”
