I'm finally posting a journal surrounding the man whom I consider to be my idol & a inspiration to me. Outside of the Ozzy song that theme's my life, the majority of Gackt's songs both solo & with either Malice Mizer or YFC help me to remain strong through out whatever life throws at me.
I discovered Gackt back around 98' when he was just starting out on his solo career, soon discovering he had been with another jrock group favorite of mine Malice Mizer. I have followed his career as a die-hard fan & DEAR ever since, as I have said, his songs help me continue to fight even though my severe depression tries pinning me down.
This man means alot to me, I wish that some day I can go to one of his concerts if he ever comes state side, so I may thank him personally for his music. His talent & his love for his country are undescribable, I honestly wish there were more humans in this world like Gackt Kamui.
He has inspired me in more ways than one, not just in daily life...not to give up, but also in my schooling.
I am now working on getting my associates in arts, which I can transfer to another college, in which I plan to attend Ohio University in Athens, Ohio so that I may get my degree in Global Studies: Asian Major
http://www.catalogs.ohio.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=27&poid=6064&returnto=1858I am majoring in Japan, I know that its going to be a tough major to graduate from, but I am looking forward to the challenges ahead of me. My heart has been with this country since I first learned about it in elementary school, I have loved Japan for many many years. The beauty & majesty of the country, the history, the music, the culture, the traditions, are all very interesting things to study & learn. If I push myself through and stick to my studies, I may get to study abroad for 6 months to 1 year, if not longer if I choose, heck I may study abroad there then just move my wife & I there someday, thats my dream...will I achieve it? yes, if I believe and study hard enough.
I never really thought there was anything in school for something along those lines, but evidently there is cause a girl I know went through the course & loved it!
I may be a trans-male, but I will admit it, I am just like all of the fan girls out there, I think he is absolutely gorgeous for 39-40 year old japanese man. Honestly, I didn't think he was that old, but I did research & sure enough he is which is amazing considering how well he has aged. Very flawless body and a voice that can make you melt.
His sense of style dosen't lack taste, he always dresses for the occasion, no matter what it may be.
He never seems down & depressed, always in a cheerful & professional manor.
This is another reason I am here on livejournal, is to meet other DEARS & Gackt fans!
