Hello Gackt! Just popping by to send you a delated Hallo-ween greeting. Hope you din't overdo it with the celebrations yesterday. Anyway hope you had a great time, we had. LOOOL
Your music touches so many people, but you can have no idea what it does for me. I'm someone who suffers from chronic debilitating painful arthritis that is destroying my joints and spine. Some days the pain is so bad that, even with the medications, I can not function well. On those days I listen over and over to your music. I can focus on your beautiful voice and bury some of the pain beneath it.
Thank you for that. It means more to me than you can ever know. If you ever choose to have a concert in the U.S. you can bet I'd find a way to drag myself there. LOL!
Stopping by to say hi , GACKT !! Keep up the good work if I reach Japan I'll subscribe for being " Dears " surely ^_^ I wish to see you live once it'd be amazing ^_^
