Let's recap the news in GACKT-land...
♥News♥
GACKT was on 'Jinsei de daiji na koto wa marumaru kara maranda da' tonight. He showed a camera crew around the outside of his house in Malaysia, a shopping mall nearby, his favorite restaurant and an example of an available (and expensive) house.

- GACKT only showed the outside of his home, because some remodelling work was being done inside
- It's 1,700 square metres, and includes the woods and pond that you see
- he doesn't have air conditioning in the house, because the inside of the house is outside [we've seen in photos before that it's all open]
- he explained that he only eats one meal a day in the evening, and doesn't eat rice, bread or carbs. His diet is vegetables, fish and meat
- at the mall he bought 20,000 yen ($200) of nuts
- he spoke in English when buying the nuts, and spoke about the importance of learning English. It's his main second language
- he spoke a little about Malaysia being a Muslim majority country, and how the different cultures respect each other
- he went to his favorite restaurant, and said he always goes there when he returns to KL. A fierce thunderstorm hit and he said he likes thunder
- he spoke about his wine cellar, which can hold 1,200 bottles
- he showed the camera crew around a house, and presented it as if he was trying to sell it to one of the hosts in the studio
- he mentioned a couple of times that the host could get naked in different parts of the house and nobody would see him
- he told a story about being in a gym abroad, and seeing someone respond "no", when asked if someone else could use some equipment they were currently using. The panel in the studio were amazed that you can say "no" to someone and they won't get offended... [Japanese people are not good at saying a straight "no" about anything]
- one of the hosts spoke several times about how cheap Malaysia is compared to Japan, and GACKT explained that the house he showed them around would cost about three times as much if it was in Setagaya, Tokyo.
And here are some photos from the show.

MyNavi GACKT will be at the premier of Karanukan at the Okinawa International Movie Festival on April 23rd. The festival red carpet will be broadcast on NicoNico, so presumably we'll see GACKT there too.
