[news] GACKT x Nestle Japan
GACKT appeared at Nescafe Harajuku to promote the release of a new Dolce Gusto machine and to also be the first customer of a limited “Future Cafe”, where robots and drones help make coffee. It’s a two minute walk from the Takeshita Street exit at Harajuku station and is open from September 16th to 23rd.
There has been many, many, many articles about the press conference and they all say slightly different things…
In Tokyo today, musician GACKT appeared at the release event for for the new coffee machine ‘Nescafe Dolce Gusto’. He made the surprising confession that “Until five years ago, I was unable to drink coffee”.
GACKT had the impression that coffee was “An adult’s drink”. During a stay in France, GACKT thought that “All of the people in town drinking coffee were cool, so everyday I practiced drinking coffee.” The reason why he couldn’t drink coffee was because he “hadn’t found a truly delicious coffee”, so he thoroughly researched the drink. As for now, GACKT said that “my coffee is the best”, as he has become able to have pride in his own skill.
The first drink each morning is coffee. When asked the question “What if a person you loved made coffee for you?”, GACKT replied with a sigh “A girl like that would make me happy. But, it’s really hard to find anyone.”

Under the cut are many photos, sorry to your internet connection!
GACKT’s appearance at the event today is part of a much wider deal with Nestle Japan. The details of GACKT’s contract with Nestle Japan were revealed today.
As well as the second season of Game Centre, there are four other things.
1) GACKT will star in “Dancing Great Advertising Meeting Season II” [Odoru Daisenten Kaigi], due to air in October - this was previously announced when GACKT was in Kobe earlier this year for the live Game Center
2) A GACKT song and the accompanying video will be used as the image song of Dolce Gusto “DROP” around the end of November
3) A free download of one song from GACKT’s forthcoming album, currently scheduled for release in March next year, will be available to Nescafe members from late November.
4) Nestle Japan will support GACKT’s tour of Japan, the LAST VISUALIVE, which starts in March next year.
Other collaborations are to be expected too.

GACKT seemed a little uncertain of Pepper...
