Let's recap the news in GACKT-land...
♥News♥
GACKT, TAKUMI, and GACKT's business partner over in Malaysia Satoshi Ikeda, hit up the casinos in Macau again this week, for the final stop of the Asian Poker Tour. APT is a pro-poker organisation, and any member can take part in their tournaments.
GACKT didn't take part in the main tournament, and instead played in a side tournament. There were 48 entrants in his game, and he managed to make the final table before coming in 10th over all.

Hi bros n sisters. How are you doing? I came to Macau to take part in The APT poker tournament in spare moments from my recording.. It was my second time to take part in it. I won through to the final table but couldn't won the victory. I came in 10. Not bad. I'll get a victory soon.
Hi bros n sisters. I'm back home. I am thinking about the final game yet why I could win the victory, how I should've done at the time... It's like a life. Really deep...
How are you doing? Bros n sisters. I'm in a recoding now. Really tired but I have to finish it today so kicking my ass. Anyway, have a good day. [note - recoding = recording]
How are you doing, bros n sisters? I just finished recording last night. Made a really cool song. I'll deliver it to you soon. Anyway, this is a reaction pull-ups. I have taught you this a lot so far. Just try it. Could already do it?

The editing of the LAST VISUALIVE DVD is finished. It took a long time.
GACKT left. It was the first time in awhile he's taken a Delta flight.
In Macau. TAKUMI ordered an unhealthy drink, and when GACKT pointed out it was bad for his health, TAKUMI dumped all of the cream out. GACKT thought it was cute.
GACKT spoke about coming tenth in only his second tournament appearance, and wants to win next time. He also wondered what TAKUMI was doing with the lions.
Leaving after the poker tournament. GACKT kicked TAKUMI's luggage. He's been thinking about making the top 10 in his game, but not winning
GACKT was recording yesterday until the early hours of the morning, and is about to start again. It didn't all go well, but he won't give up.
Recording, then GACKT went to a hotel to eat. He was surprised by the traffic jam outside.
Yesterday, GACKT was recording. Angie was in a good mood, but it rained heavily so he couldn't drive. He likes the scene at home when it rains though.
