Ever since I watched Another Sky, I wanted to write some stuff about him.
I know a lot of people might not know what was happening during Another Sky, but I understood the Chinese parts so I'll do a little summary of what happened on that episode along with some info on Kefca as well because.... well, I'm not sure. I just feel like writing all of this down. ^^"
*Note: Any info that was not taken from Another Sky was taken off Chinese websites so I'm not sure whether the info is 100% accurate.
Gackt calls him Kefca, but his Chinese name is 杨明学 and his English name (I believe) is Jacky Yang. He is Taiwanese and was studying in Canada until he got sick and then went back to Taiwan in 2002 for medical treatment. His sickness had something to do with his muscles and tissues softening (hence why he was using a wheelchair during A.S.) When he returned to Taiwan, he published (not sure on wording ^^") song lyrics which he wrote himself (basically he let popular artists/singers use the lyrics he had written). One of the songs he wrote was 旋木 (Carousel) which is sung by Wong Faye (a short clip of it was also played during Another Sky).
(sorry for bad audio quality, the one with good audio won't let me embed >3<)
I must do a cover of this song... but first I need to practice my Chinese. orz

During Another Sky, his little sister was talking about the relationship him and G had. It went something like this:
Before he (Kefca) passed away, he (GACKT) would come over and keep him company by dining or watching TV with him. Sometimes also chatting or playing video games with him.
And then on the day brother passed away, we had GACKT phone over and brought the phone over to brother's ear and GACKT sang “すき” for him. That was a song GACKT wanted to give to him. And during that process, although brother was already unconscious, his heartbeat/pulse (??) increased because of that song. It was really touching.
<> Departed (??) Kefca, the Europe tour has finished and now I'm in the middle of a Japan and worldwide tour. (And then something like....) Because of our separation/because of your death, it has given me motivation to tour the entire world.
<> I really think it's really hard to have this kind of destiny, have this kind of friend. I think if brother is in heaven right now, then he would be really touched. And he would be really grateful to him (G).
<> [I'm] really thankful to have you like a family member. Be sure to come visit us in Taiwan!
Anyways...
It also said on Chinese websites that when Kefca passed away, he was wearing a black onyx bracelet given to him by G.
*sighs* So, now you know why I tear up everytime I watch Another Sky. ^^" Which is probably around 6-7 times now.
But you know, I'm glad G managed to become such an important person for someone. I'm sure Kefca-san passed away peacefully while listening to すき.
Rest in peace, Kefca.
