[news] GACKT at Ken Tanaka's 40th anniversary event

[pyroyale]

Actor and singer Ken Tanaka held an event in Tokyo today to commerate his 40th anniversary in show business and to also announce his first record in 29 years.

During his time, he's been a singer and actor and is probably best known to us all for his role in Nemuri Kyoshiro.

So, who better to help him celebrate than Kyoshiro-sensei himself?

Congratulations, Ken-san!

I figured most of the fandom don't know Tanaka Ken's career, so I figured he deserves a couple of photos of his young self.

In the days of no photoshopping and very little cosmetic surgeries (compared to now =w=) even in show biz, he was a genuine heartthrob.

Oh, that's very sweet, thank you!

wooo, looking gorgeous in the second one :))
you know, looking at him and knowing he turned 40, seeing Gackt next to him, i can't believe he is turning 39 and that there's only 1 year difference between the two... no offense intended for Ken-san
he aged beautifully and has a beautiful smile
i can't seem to remember his role in FK... i have to google it

ufffffff another typo... i meant NK :|, i couldn't find him though

It's his 40th anniversary in show business, not his 40th birthday. Tanaka-san is 61.

He was in Nemuri Kyoshiro, not Fuurin Kazan.

:)) ok, thank you for pointing all these out
now i need to go back to sleep and wake up again, i can't really say i'm awake now since i keep misunderstanding
this explains why the Tanaka Ken i kept finding was born in 1951 and looked so much like this guy, i thought they just look alike aaaand happen to have the same name... silly me :))

Oh, Simona, no no no no nooooooo~~~~~ X'D

Tanaka-san's 40th anniversary is for his time in the show biz. It's not his birthday celebration.
He's actually 61. ^^

He was Nemuri's benefactor/friend, wasn't in FK. :3

what can i say?... it's a very bad idea to start commenting when you aren't fully awake :|
all my comments were full of typos and i've misread some stuff

i knew it was NK, but my fingers typed FK... i was talking to a friend about FK at the same time when reading this post
he looks great at 61, he is actually 3 years and half older than my mom and dad :)
