There was some press releases today about a new (likely digital) distribution deal for GACKT's music.
Release of GACKT's 44th Single 'P.S. I LOVE U' Plus National and International Music Distribution On 2/12.
On February 12th, GACKT's new single 'P.S I LOVE U' will be released. On the same day, the national and international distribution of his music and movies will commence. Space Shower Music, a music business owned by Space Shower Network, are the company fully backing this distribution.
GACKT is looking to continue his record as the male solo artist with the longest consecutive run of top 10 hits with his new single. This single is used in two advertisments. Firstly, 'P.S. I LOVE U' is the VARTIX CM song and RIDE OR DIE is used in the CM campaign for the GACKT x kissmark project Rouge et Noir. These are presents made with love for the important people in life.
Before the release, the music shop Crown Tokuma will hold a release event for the single for people who bought the single from their store. This event will be broadcast live on NicoNico on February 11th.

I'm assuming the distribution deal is digital distribution only but it doesn't specify exactly what or how it will be done. I suspect it is just taking over distribution via places like iTunes now that the deal with Avex seems to have expired and everything is being released on GACKT's own label, G&LOVERS. But that's just me hypothesising ^o^ Space Shower Network is a big company though and also owns Space Shower TV, which is one of the major music stations in Japan (arguably the biggest, I think) and usually gets music videos first.
Don't forget the NicoNico event tomorrow! The event starts at 11am (JPN time) but the live part with GACKT kicks off at 15:30. If you can't make that, you can timeshift it and watch it later!
