News of the morning: Gackt will be starring as one of the three main characters in next year's Taiga period drama "Fuurinkazan." (See article
here).
(And yeah...that's him on the left with the slicked-back hair and sunglasses O__o;;;)
Gackt will be playing the part of
Uesugi Kenshin, a samurai who dedicated his life to war. He was a bit of an eccentric for a man of his class, never marrying or having children because he claimed that such things would distract him from the art of war.
He says at the press conference announcing the cast: "I wish to express the spirit of the samurai."
I've heard his movie with HYDE was a bit of a disaster, but hopefully it wasn't because his acting skills were lacking.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing samurai!Gackt on television. ♥
