YFCz Breakup, Wanna Talk About It?

[excused_early]

I was tweeting earlier how funny I thought it was that GACKT keeps avoiding any mention of the YFCz breakup so far, and this got a lot of people talking about it.  And I just felt like people may want a place to kind of... vent or simply talk about the breakup.  Anytime something major, like a breakup, happens, people naturally get emotional about

I actually agree with a lot of what you said here. I was actually thinking about this the other day, and I thought it was a little weird how silent he had been. The whole break up was not announced well in my opinion considering all of the people that were left confused and upset and then only to later have Takumi briefly mention it in a blog before explaining the whole thing during Nicoradi.

But I was thinking the other day and I thought that it was a little weird that only Takumi and Chacha had said something. I had already been feeling a little bit worried about Gackt for a few days because he had seemingly been avoiding everything like the plague, but now that I think about it more, I think that just maybe the break up might have affected him a lot. Like you said, YFC was something that meant a lot to him and he had a lot of fun doing it. I really do think that he would have tried his best to keep the band alive, but according to Takumi, it wouldn't have worked out. So, I do think that he's upset by the break up and just doesn't want to talk about it. Like a lot of people, there are probably times where he just wouldn't want to talk about stuff he's not happy about. So I wouldn't be surprised if he's disappointed it didn't work out, and he probably wants to avoid the issue as much as he can (at least concerning his public online activities and such since we don't know what he does in his own life). And I imagine that he's been super stressed out with the play and probably some other stuff, so I can imagine that having to break up a band he loved so much probably doesn't do any stress he might have any good.

>I think fans are upset because they feel like GACKT doesn't care about their feelings.

I think you have a point here. A lot of people that were fans of YFC and were impacted by the break up are/were really upset, and people tend to think about only themselves when they're upset. And when it comes to being a fan of a musician, I think fans are quick to say "They don't care about the fans" when they're really not thinking how it might be affecting said musician(s). Musicians are human just like us, and they all aim to please their fans. Gackt loves his fans and we all know this, but when he says something that makes people mad or when he stays silent like he is now, they're quick to draw the "he doesn't care" card without taking into consideration what he's feeling (which is easy to do considering we don't know him personally). I personally would like to hear the announcement from him, but I can understand possible reasons why it didn't come from him. If he really is that upset about it and just wants to avoid the subject, then I think he'll do that until he's ready to talk about it it. I get the impression that he doesn't run away from problems or challenges, but I also get the impression that he'll try to avoid situations he doesn't like, which is kind of supported by his silence and lack of talking about YFC.

As a YFC fan, I was sad when I heard they broke up. I will admit that I did have to cry, lol. But after it sunk in and I was able to accept it, I realized that it really was better for the band as a whole since they couldn't decide on a common goal. And I think that even though Takumi says they've ended it on a positive note, I think they're all upset about having to break up. I'd like to think that if he could, Gackt would have tried his best to save the band and to keep it going, but I think things probably just didn't work out the way he wanted it to.

Ag, I'm sorry I always write long stuff on your posts lol.

"I thought that it was a little weird that only Takumi and Chacha had said something"

See, that's thing. I don't think it was weird at all. They were probably given the job to really explain the situation via Nico, and they happened to be the ones on the show that day.

"when he stays silent like he is now, they're quick to draw the "he doesn't care" card without taking into consideration what he's feeling"

Yup, exactly. It's his own life and career we're talking about, too. And things don't always go the way he plans. I wish he were a little more open about admitting his mistakes, etc. when he makes them because there's nothing wrong with making mistakes, and honesty would make the fans love him even more for that, but GACKT is GACKT, and I accept him as he is 100%. (slightly OT, lol)
