The Kakuzuke Check website updated today with details of the New Year special.
GACKT is part of 'Team 36 Consecutive Victories' alongside Hiromitsu Kitayama (Kis-My-Ft2) and Yuma Nakayama (NYC). Last year his team was called 'Team 30 Consecutive Victories', so he's running with a theme here...
This year, however, things will be slightly different.
This time, there will be special rules for GACKT, who up until now has a record of 36 consecutive answers with no mistakes! "As soon as GACKT enters the AB rooms, the other participants feel that they know the correct answer", said Hamada. So, until the end of every check, neither the other participants or the viewers will know what room GACKT chooses, as he will be using special, for GACKT use only, AB rooms!
The checks this year are
1 - wine
2 - sense of sound (an expensive violin/cello versus cheaper ones)
3 - taste (different food items for every team, one is expensive and the other is cheap)
4 - wind instruments (a professional orchestra versus an amateur band from a university)
5 - bonsai
6 - beef
Can GACKT (and his two Johnny's partners) extend his winning streak and make it Team 42 Consecutive Victories?
It's on TV Asahi on January 1st.

GACKT OHP It appears that the download only works for people in Japan. Here it is on YouTube.

The Nestle site specifies that 13 songs will be made available in total. If you log into Nestle, you can download wallpapers with the ARROW visual (I believe that works outside of Japan).
Staying on the Nestle theme, GACKT was interviewed by Takashi Tamura as part of a Nestle newsletter.
