[gekka_no_neko]

There are a couple articles about this, and I translated the one at スポーツ報知.

Gackt's road to world domination continues~~ :D

~EDIT:  Please note that the article says the RED and BLUE DVDs will be released on October 19, but I do believe they are going to be released on October 9. ^^;

Oh that is so neat! I look forward to his dvds, I assume they mean they'll be released in this region when they say that.

[gekka_no_neko]

The Red and Blue dvds will be released here for sure~ as for the live dvds, so far it looks like there are only plans for releases in Europe. ^^; But it's just a matter of time before they're released here I think! :D

[gekka_no_neko]

Yes it is! :D You're welcome~~ ^^

2007 rocks! ♥

Thanks Gekka, for the translation and the notification of the Message to Gackt section. I know I made such a ruckus about it, but I do think someone should voice out an objection (altho mine was confined to LJ..but next time, I'll write in directly to Dears for any complaint..I promise! ^^ ). It's just not healthy letting all the suspicions fester and taint our luff for Mr. Gackt. Well, I think so XD

Can anyone explain a bit more what does it mean by releasing songs 'on iTune'? Does it mean the songs will be freely available to be downloaded over the net? And why does this move make us 'MORE connected to Gackt news'? Sorry, I dun have an iTune so I dunno much about it ^^;

[gekka_no_neko]

YES!! :D

No problem~ Yup, I agree that we should write to them whenever we have a question/issue about their site. The more email they get, the more they will have to look into it!

Oh sorry, I just assumed everyone knows about iTunes! Might have to edit my post with info about it~ Anyway, iTunes is a music player program, and iTunes store is an online shop where you can buy songs (as well as TV shows). There are iTunes stores for various countries. Releasing his songs on iTunes means we can buy a track or a whole album online to play on our iPods or computers. Not for free. ^^; My comment about being 'MORE connected to Gackt news' has nothing to do with iTunes. It has to do with the iPod Touch which is a device that will allow me to go on the internet using wi-fi. Sorry for the confusion!

[ami007]

Not for free. ^^;
Yappari (I knew it ..geh XD)

ohhh, but that will make his works much much more available to the masses! Awesome. I wonder if other j-rockers are gonna follow suit. I think if he were successful, this is gonna start a trend, huh.

I googled iPOD Touch out of curiosity..it looks cool! And it's newly released too! Congrats on getting one~ I still remember that PS3 picture you pasted in LJ..hehe.

Thanks for posting this! ^^

So, October 26th? Although I already have Diabolos, I think I'll also buy the European version just for fun. *g*
Maybe I'm just dreaming, but chances for oversea-concerts are getting better, right? ^^

[gekka_no_neko]

You're welcome~! :D

Hahaha, yeah I think I'd do the same thing~ ^^ And yes, i do think the chances are getting better for overseas concerts very soon! :D I can't wait~~

[crescent_yume]

That's awesome! Thanks so much for the translations! If I can manage to come across those U.S. releases of his filmographies, I'm totally buying them... Of course, that's kind of a big 'if'. v_v Oh well, I shall try~~! It's still awesome news for Gackt! :D :D

[gekka_no_neko]

You're welcome! I'm tempted to get them, but I already have the Japanese version~ ^^;; I think I'll wait and see what others say about the subs before I get them. XD XD; But yeah, it's great news for him and all of us. :D
