GACKT's Partner is Kazuaki Kiriya, which surprised me, as I expected someone else. This combination, however, was bound to be awesome.

Kazuaki Kiriya is the director of one of my favorite movies, CASSHERN.
He was also married to Utada Hikaru and directed a couple of PVs for various artists, one of them being THE BACK HORN.
I love THE BACK HORN. (I owe them my interest in Jrock. They were the spark that prompted me to invest in GACKT!)

GACKT also met up with Kiriya last year ... um, I mean, two years ago at TIFF (2010).

I never knew what he looked like, so I didn't recognize him. Now that I do,...
This was bound to be Team Badass Bosses. Seriously.

Meh, the tags aren't necessary for most of them. I think we should have a Hamada tag though (or a general Downtown one) as he crops up a lot with GACKT.

[mun_chairudo]

true, true. I vote for Hamada only though, as Downtown is the duo, right?
Would it be weird to label him 'artist'?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, now that you mention it, it's THAT Kiriya G mentioned around the time of TIFF.....

*nods nods nods*

And Utada's ex-hubby.....

*moar nods nods nods*

And....Father of Xia's G love.........

9_____9 whoa

My FATHER? IT IS THIS WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL MAN?

Edit.
Nevermind, I misread it 9_________________9;

9___9 ..... *pretends she did not see her daughter's fail*

I wonder.. did G choose him for his team or were they put together by the show producers? oo

[cauliflower346]

I kinda got the impression that he chose him, but... huh, I really wonder @_@

[excused_early]

G says he dragged Kiriya to the show by force. XD
(I need to edit my post after properly watching the show....)

[mun_chairudo]

So he was able to choose his team mate.
... if that is the case then...
*facepalm* Uggghhh.

Crystal clear to me that he totally could not lose this round. XD
