Translation of Street Accessories Next File X ~ DARTS silver accesories ~

[gekka_no_neko]

Just a quick and short translation while waiting for help on my other one. ^^  *waits patiently* ^^;;

Street Accessories did this article to showcase the limited edition DARTS jewelries that came out recently.  I was hoping Gackt would talk a little bit more about each of the four designs, but I still think it's interesting. ^^  I scanned the pages

I really admire that he can put such effort and craftsmanship into mere silver accessories, things that most people see and just think "ooh, pretty", and move on. Gackt actually puts time and his own spirit into the smallest things that decorate himself, so that everything that adorns him is him. Truly him. Physical extensions of his own spirit.

He's quite an individual.

but I still giggled at that close-up picture of his necklaces XD

but I still giggled at that close-up picture of his necklaces XD

I got so distracted too. Wasn't sure what I should have been looking at -- the pendants or his chest. XD XD Such perverted thoughts...

[gekka_no_neko]

Physical extensions of his own spirit.

Aaah, I really like how you put that! It's true, he doesn't just wear the jewelry to look good, he wants it to say something. I love that everything he does always has meaning to him. ^^

Ahd yeah, *stares at that pic* XD

[female_officer]

He also had designed guitars!

[kuro_no_diablo]

Long time no see (translations)~~!! XD Hehe. I am kidding. THANKS SO MUCH! *bows*

I LOVE HIS JEWELRY. XD I didn't know that each "line" was designed by a different designer. Wow. Loads and loads of creativity!!

*squinting at the last page* the Darts of Gigor costs 165,000 Yen!?!? My poor, poor wallet! X3 Which one is your favorite? The DoG necklace and the Darts of Taujan ring are SO COOL. (Well, almost the entire line of accessories are super cool, but it'd take a couple years worth of salary to buy them all.. ^^;)

deaf breed uses my favorite (stone) onyx. I'd like it if it were worn by a girl as a good-luck charm.

Is that a not-so-subtle hint?? XD You heard the man, now go and get it! *scampers off to crescent shop* XD (yeah right, I need to pay my credit card bills FIRST ;_;)

[kuro_no_diablo]

P.S. And I believe that a more thorough study of the Darts accessories in combination with this interview is necessary.
*runs off the h-darts to see what jewelry to buy* XD

[gekka_no_neko]

You know, I think I'm gonna do the same thing. ^^

[gekka_no_neko]

XD I know, I've been slacking off in the translations department. ^^; Not really, I just put one on hold because I am stuck on some things. -__- It should be up later this week though~ I think everyone will enjoy it. :D

Isn't that cool that there are four designers involved? Four designers, different styles, but it all fits together.

Heheheh, yeah the GIGOR necklace costs 165,000 yen. ^^ But it's really a limited model, with only 10 pieces made. It's got 25 diamonds in it too. @@ And that one is my absolute favorite!! *breaks out wallet* XD

XD I already have his onyx!! *pushes you to Crescent Shop* XD But, this article has made me really want at least one of his silver accessories. ^^

[shinjiteiru]

It's funny, cuz the other day, my mom and I were discussing that necklace that he often wears (the one that's on the cover of Subarashikikana Jinsei 3), so we went to the DARTS site two nights ago and I noticed all of the new jewlery was up. ^_^

Thanks so much for the translation! It's nice to hear what Gackt has to say about his jewlery. :D We hear so much about his songs and that sort of thing, but not so much what he wears. ^^

His eyes have been looking amazingly gorgeous lately. Not that they haven't always, but there's somthing special about them ever since September...

[gekka_no_neko]

And that one is so super expensive!!

You're welcome, I'm glad you found it interesting! I wasn't sure if others would find it as interesting as I did. ^^

Yes... *stares into his eyes*

[crescent_yume]

"DARTS (accessories were created) to overturn the preconceived ideas (found in other) silver accessories. Silver accessories that are just for looks[7] become too much like mere throw-aways. Silver accessories are pieces of work that make you feel something when you hold it in your hands. I think they are valuable precisely because my own thoughts are held inside them. No matter how good[7] the design looks, if the will[1] of the creator can't be felt, then isn't it worthless... The will[1] of each distinct individual can be felt in the silver accessories created by the DARTS group. They were able to powerfully appeal to my heart."

Only Gackt could actually have think of meanings behind accessories! ;p

The pictures are gorgeous! Thank you so much for taking the time to not only translate, but to post the pics as well!

*Wishes I had more money* ^^

Also, if you ever have any questions on something translation-wise, Saori may be able to help. She's helped Imee on a few occasions! ^^

[gekka_no_neko]

And it really isn't surprising to hear him say that, is it? He always puts meaning behind everything he does~ I love that!

You're welcome! Thanks for reading it. ^^ And yeah, the pictures are so gorgeous~ I kept making excuses to stare at them some more while doing the translation. XD

I wish I could afford the jewelry too!!

Oh thank you so much for offering Saori's help! I am actually waiting to hear back from Imee, but if I still need help after talking to her I may just take you up on that offer. ^^

[crescent_yume]

Haha, yeah, I guess it shouldn't be surprsing, huh? It's amazing how he does that, putting all the meaning into everything. He really makes it worth it.

You're so lucky to be able to gaze at those like that! Haha, I can just see you, telling yourself something like, 'one more line of translating and then another gaze, and then another line, and then another gaze!'

It's too bad it's so expensive. .__.;;

I think Saori really likes to help, being that it reminds her that there are people here (besides myself of course!) who are interested in her language. Plus, she loves that she can be useful in the fandom. So if you ever need any help with anything, (after Imee of course! ^^) go ahead and ask! ^^

[gekka_no_neko]

XD Yup, I guess I could've finished the translation faster if I just stuck to the text and not looked at the pics. XD

These are expensive, but maybe his regular jewelries are more afforadable... *goes to check* ^^;

Awww, that's great! I didn't want to be a bother, but when you put it that way, I'll be sure to ask if I need help. ^^ Thanks again~ :D

[niatinari]

-happy squeak- Thank you thank you thank you! I have actually been very curious about these accessories since I first some them. You know, I thought there had to be something more to this jewelry when I saw they all had different names and different lines and the directory on the website showed them on different continents. Glad to see as always that Gackt never disappoints. Of course, now we have to wait for more of the story to fully understand, but that's no problem...

There's so many of these that I want too, either for myself or to be able to stare at on other people... Ahh...

[gekka_no_neko]

:D You're welcome, thanks for reading it~ I'm really happy that people are interested in what he says about the accessories! ^^ And I really want to learn more about the story too~ I'm a sucker for anything related to DARTS. ^^

I want something too, it's too bad they're so expensive! I wanted something before, but after translating this article I want one even more. ^^

Re: his beautiful jewelry

[niatinari]

Sounds good! Which one do you want? ^____^ And can I wear it first ^^;; Bwahaha...
