^^; It suddenly feels weird, awkward even, to post a translation after such a long absence. After much poking (and stabbing and jabbing and whacking and mushing XD), here is the translation for Newsmaker Feb issue ( Read more... )

XD XD Does it? I thought it was short~ I was trying to read my friends list, but then LJ and my comp went wacko. -_- Maybe because I went back like, 200 entries. XD;; So I came back to Sweiled. (Boy, that was random XD)

You are welcome, sweetie! :D

Im not too sure I understand exactly the whole concept of what he was saying but it seems to make sense at the same time. ^_^;
^^;; I feel much the same way at first. I read it a few times and finally understood. I thought kuro_no_diablo gave a great explanation of it. :D

Im not sure what all that was about... I hope Gackt doesnt dislike Americans (like the rest of the world -_-;) though I cant really blame him. ><

I highly doubt it. ^^ Since he seems to go to America often in the past, I think he likes it fine. But in terms of politics, everything is different, right? You can't put the two together. :D

I so want to help him. I dont know how... it makes me sad. T_T

I believe that by supporting him, you are already helping him. :3 The way I see it, he can't really do what he wants to by himself. He needs the voice of others to help pass the message around. If I were to tell my friend about him and make her believe in him too, isn't that one more person added to the list of people who will move towards the same goal? :D

*dies* Its hard to believe, there was a time when he thought like that. Just like when he said he questioned his singing ability (in his autobiography)... it makes me a little less nervous about all my self doubt. XD

Ahaha, it is hard to believe, isn't it? There is a time when Gackt is NOT famous!? XDDD

I wish I could be like that about making films. I wish I had that kind of courage. I feel bad that I try so hard to learn from him but yet I still live in fear. Even though I love it, I hate it too... cuz it makes me ashamed that I cant go beyond the fear like he has.

:/ *mugglies* This road isn't always easy to walk through. I think you already have great courage to pursue what you want to do. Especially in a line like yours, where you can say it's not a very stable job. I sincerely believe that it takes a lot of courage, so give yourself more credit! :D And you don't have to compare yourself with him. Everybody progresses at different paces, find your own. Learn from him, but you don't have to try to be him. Carve your own path out too. :D

It makes me want to cry how noble this statement is...

He's great, isn't he? ^^ He is one of rare speciments of mankind left. XD When people enter society, most turn jaded and forget what's truly important. And even when they saw someone young and new with passion and ardor, they won't encourage the person and would instead make fun and laugh at their naivete. Personally, I pity them for losing their passion. ._. Gackt is one of the only few people I've met who didn't turn out this way.

I used to joke about him being an attention whore, not even meaning it seriously or hatefully. I think even that is wrong.

._. Now that you know what is wrong, at least you can try to not make the same mistake, eh? Isn't that the most important? ^^ *hugs* It hurts a lot too, when I hear others say something like that about him. Especially when I know it isn't a joke. But over time, I learned to brush it off (after giving the person a piece of my mind of course XD) because it just tells me that this person doesn't know much about him, and doesn't care to either. These emotions aren't worth our time. Might as well dedicate it to something positive. :D

@_@ he says it so simply but its difficult to be overshadowed by someone... specially somelike Gackt... his friends & staff truly have their work cut out for them.

Hehe ^^;; It would be great if I can work with him one day, but at the same time the thought is daunting. He expects so much from others, will we ever live up to his expectations? But I think... it's also the process that counts, doesn't it? The process of learning and trying to improve ourselves, not just ability wise, but also for personal growth. :3 I think it will be most interesting, albeit nerve-wrecking. XD

You are welcome again! And, haha, never apologize for comments! I love reading them. ^^ Thank you~

Gackt gets lots of attention naturally, which is good cuz he likes it. I get lots of attention naturally, which is awfull cuz I hate it! lol... thus I've always been amused at how he is in the spotlight. Like I replied to tarogirl, I stopped saying it cuz I dont want ppl to think he is greedy.
Anyone who can act, sing, perform etc... amazes me, cuz Im a nervous twitching fidgetty wreck when put on the spot. And Gackt is Mr. Poker face. XD

Ahahaha, I got you. XD Erm, for myself... I like being in the spotlight, but I hate being in the spotlight. XD I like it when people listen to what I have to say kinda spotlight, but not when people crowd around me too much. Basically, I'm most comfortable in my own circle of friends.

XDDDDDDD

You are absolutely right. Way too often the older that people get they allow what has happened to them to color themselves and how they perceive things and they end up being overly cynical and biased and as you put it, jaded. They forget what it is like to have goals and to have inspiration and a love for something. *sighs* I too feel badly for people who have become such hollow shells. If you aren't passionate about at least one thing in your life then I don't think that you are really living life to the fullest.

I agree. I think when one lives without passion, then that person isn't truly living at all. But then, I do know some people who ARE content with living without dreams or goals to pursue, who are content with following the flow and what society sets. I can't stand that way of living, but at the same time I do envy their ablility to think so simply. ^^
