I was going to, but I feel that the point I wanted to illustrate deserved a post of its own as we’re bound to go off-topic where Moon Saga is concerned.
I’m not going to sugarcoat it and give it to you straight.
I liked it well enough for its pretty visuals and some compelling acting and action scenes, but like with Nemuri, there were elements I had

I'll add this to those women you were talking about. I mean, if this is meant metaphorical or in whatever other way she does shoot him on the stage!

I remember some Moonchild review. The author pretty much said the story in itself is awfully cliché and not that good, but the movie itself it's still very watchable and that he just can't really pinpoint why that is.lol And even if you look at his songs lyrics. In overall the theme and even the words he uses are pretty repetitive and yet his delivery makes each/most of them pretty unique and amazing.
Also he is a master of hopeless stories that he somehow manages to turn into ones that leave you with hope in the end. That bitter-sweetness is one of the reasons I like his stories even when they frustrate me with how cliché and rigid in their roles his characters and themes can be.
And as amaia said. I would also like to see him develop more his atypical female characters. But I'd say one of the reasons it will not happen, is the fact that on stage, talking visualives here, he's playing a character and I'd say it's easier to portray a "timid" female character ala ( ... )

akhsnika: what if Gackt can't just write female-characters?
I have been saying (mostly to myself) for years that GACKT doesn't understand women very well. I don't think he can quite manage to get past his image of the loyal, self-sacrificing, and tragically いない woman that seems to exist in many of the stories he tells. Aside from that one character, he's holding no cards. So yeah, would not surprise me at all if he doesn't want to spend time trying to pretend to write subject he knows nothing about. Lol.
And hey, I'll go even further and say, can we really blame him for it? I think at least some reasons why G doesn't have a multitude of well-rounded diverse female characters in his head become apparent when you think about his life to date.
amaia:I've been of the opinion for a long time that GACKT is an exceptionally brilliant songwriter, a decent actor, and a mediocre author :P

not many people can throw away their past and live "freely" their future... still, those persons couldn't accept who they were and cowardly or very bravely had to give it up...
we don't leave for the sake of the future, but in memory of the past...
