This year’s poster takes a different approach from the straight and realistic photos of previous years, and sees Kenshin on his horse in front of a large moon.
For futher details, see the OGYD post here - http://ohgacktyoudidnt.livejournal.com/581193.html
GACKT is featured in the CM for BIG lotto.
The campaign is very high profile, as posters have been popping up on various trains and in most of the main train stations in Tokyo.
There is a second CM for SHARP emopa. GACKT does some light training.
Here is the trailer for ORIGAMI, the short movie shown at Cannes that GACKT has a role in. The movie is all in English, the trailer is kinda short in GACKT.
♥Goods♥
There are some goods for the GACKTRACKS Release Party. A lot of the goods state GDM (GACKT Dance Music) instead of the usual EDM (Electronic Dance Music)
The goods are-
Swarvoski camisole 12,000 yen
Tank top - 4,500 yen
Face towel - 2,500 yen
Glowstick wristbands - 500 yen (only available at the release party)
Orders are being taken for the goods online (other than for the wristbands) but the store only ships within Japan.

♥Photo of the week♥
The many pained faces of GACKT playing video games.
Thanks to all that sent in birthday messages!! Although the book has less pages than last year (73 this time) there were actually more messages. I formatted it a little differently this year. If we ignore Japan, the most messages came from Russia followed by Indonesia.
The book is with the printers now, and I am crossing everything that can be crossed that I will receive it before July 4th (it was fine last year on a similar deadline from the same publisher though, so it should be okay).
I will shortly be posting about Part II of this year’s birthday project....
Thanks again to everyone who contributed!!
