[DISCUSSION] Gackt on 'Terry Ito's Howl at the Moon' w/English subs

[mun_chairudo]

Just found this on YT & haven't watched it, yet, but would like to share it nonetheless.
Since I don't know Japanese, I can't say how accurate the videos are. I'll probably comment on itself after having watched it in the comments...
Enjoy ^^

Things I got from this:

Bad experience is better than no experience? Failing is better than never trying? 'Cause it makes us stronger? Even if that isn't what he' means, I think I'll stick to that. ♥

And, aw, not that I need protecting, but I sure as hell would let G protect me any day. I'm not agreeing that it's the man's role to be the protector but hey, if he wants to and he's capable, why not let him and make him feel good about himself?

The only thing I don't quite understand is the "unless good men increase, good women won't increase." What the hell does that even mean?

/sighs. As much as I love his dorky interviews where he talks about being Satan and stuff, I adore these interviews where he's being all intelligent and thinking deep about things.

The only thing I don't quite understand is the "unless good men increase, good women won't increase."Because only a good man make a woman feel womanly and feminine (instead of loading her with the necessity to do EVERYTHING) ^^ I think G's lamenting the fact that men are not men anymore - and he's frigging right. Look at our societies: it's women who do everything. Women work, teach, bring up kids, are active in social life and men are losing their ability to even take decisions and protect their families

This is indeed really a problem. In Japan especially I've raised my eyebrows at men's behavior and mentality though.

While the fact that women gained their rights is a VERY good thing, I feel like it went wrong in Japan somewhere. There is still that 'housewife' image, but not as much as there used to be.
However I feel like some men feel intimidated by women's strength, and either turn into the type we all might have heard from sometimes; a man who doesn't care for women, love, or anything.

The other group that does still care and has his head above the water is a strange group nowadays though. While I am sure there are still 'good' men, if a man says he needs to marry not for love but because he's 'not good at cleaning up after himself' you really have to think about what the hell is going on xD

I see. This makes more sense now. I didn't quite get it at first because I didn't understand that G was trying to say that 'good' women = 'feminine' women. So, correct me if I'm wrong, but a good woman should be able to lead, teach, work, etc. but not feel the need to do so? :)

XDDD so he is a dinosaur now? :))
i wonder which kind of dinosaur he is? he sort of looks like a T-Rex to me :)), there are other larger than him, but he is damn frightening :))

:)) it amused me how he kept giving politically correct answers

[camui_love]

There's a lot that I liked in this interview..... *sigh*~~

Thanks <3

I agree with him 100% (almost XD) on his comments during the first part. Children are over protected too much, I think, although I don't think parents should go to the extremes he was hinting at.

As for the second part... he over generalises and stereotypes men and women far too much, I think. I'll just leave it at that.

[phililen3]

his idea of getting children out there is scary
