Gackt-sama
I have posted this on the thread about Gackt on d-addicts some days ago, but, not unsurprisingly :p , there hasn't been any answer. It's not that I'm expecting any comments on LJ :D but here this will be within closer reach.
Gackt's voice and music was what converted me to Japanese rock and for that I'll always be grateful to him and he will always be "up there" on my list. He's not only up there, he's unique, of course. But still, somehow, his very greatness makes me a bit shy of him nowadays? I don't exactly know how to say it, but... the more I realized just how big a star he is, the more I found myself... I don't know? Detaching? From him as an artist. Meaning, I still listen to him, yes, but somehow there's not the same connection as before.
In the beginning, all the music and words "hit" me very close. Now, especially with his latest couple of singles, it seems like I'm always wondering: is this really coming from his heart, or is this just good "product design"?
I'm not sure if I'm making sense, and these aren't anything like definitive thoughts, just some feelings that I don't know what to do with...
Has anyone experienced something similar? Not necessarily about Gackt.
You are always in my heart.
