[Poker, weddings and press conferences]
September 25th
GACKT arrived back in Kuala Lumpur. He said that the weather and atmosphere of KL always makes him happy to return. He had dinner and talked business with his KL based staff and business partner until midnight, then they returned home for poker practice. He then started to talk about Heads Up Poker. GACKT said that the Ameba president, Mr. Fujita, had asked him to make an interesting program, and that GACKT did his best. 100,000 viewers would have been considered a big hit, but it seems that 450,000 watched the program. He said that there are many poker programs in the world, but his program was aimed at beginners, especially as the Japanese market is still growing. He spoke a little about developing the program, from the initial idea while playing poker with beginner friends in KL, to filming the show with numerous cameras around the table and the multiple checks during the editing stage.
September 26th
TAKUMI came back from Japan just for this day, as they were due to go to the wedding of a friend. The party was due to start in the evening, so they had a relaxing day, first drinking tea and then cocktails by the pool side. GACKT did his own styling, and said that back in the MALICE MIZER days he'd do his own hair and make up, so he knows how to do it. After setting his hair in a slicked back style, they headed off to the wedding party. There was a two hour cocktail party and GACKT greeted many different people there. He glanced at the guest list and saw members of the royal family and many people from abroad there, and thought that the mix was very interesting. The ceremony started a little late, but eventually the bride and groom appeared. He said that he had been to some flashy weddings in Japan, but this was on another scale. There was even a camera filming their entrance, and the footage was then shown on a large LED screen. He reckoned that there was 1,200 people there. He exchanged words with the Malaysian person sat next to him, who appeared to have been married seven times. GACKT was very puzzled over this. The ceremony finished, and GACKT was surprised by how many limousines were lined up. He was impressed that his hairstyle kept its shape over the long duration of the wedding, and ended with a short advert for GATSBY and a desire to wash his hair.
September 27th
GACKT said there was a press conference held for new brand MARGARET NOCTURNE, and wondered whether people wanted the dresses to be sold in China too (this was a short, Weibo only blog)
September 28th
GACKT wrote about the press conference for MARGARET NOCTURNE. He came back to Japan for this press conference, and had been training with his hellball since he returned. He noted that his body has gotten bigger again. After training, he went to the venue for rehearsals, and while having his hair and make up done had a meeting about another project. After his make up was finished, he checked the models as they were all to have a uniform image for the press conference. During the press conference, he couldn't help but notice how small the faces were of the models. After musing on their small head sizes for a little longer, he said that the press conference finished smoothly, and he was happy that there was a sudden rush of orders when the ordering period started. He finished the blog by saying he was preparing to go back to Malaysia.
