June 2005 Oricon Style magazines translations

[sweiled]

Hi again. ^^; I promised someone I'll finish this by this week, so here it is. XD Again, not him on the cover. It's the 6th June issue of Oricon Style, bought during the same discount as the previous WHAT's IN? magazine. This one is slightly longer though and let me apologize first for the numerous notes included

I am glad that there are other artists out there who respect him as an artist and want him to add some of his vision to a project.

Amongst Japanese musicians, he is actually quite well-known. It's just in other circles like movie or actors that he is not well-known. I mean they know who Gackt is, but not his music, not really.

He is such a gift and I am glad that other people are starting to acknowledge that.

Definitely!! ^^ That's why I always feel so proud whenever he manages to make even one person respect him. Even more so if they are Japanese. It gives me the sense that he is truly being accepted. For who he is and not just because of his 'peculiarities'. I think that's really wonderful.

I am always so proud to see something like that happen. ^_^

As do I. ^^

(But) in the end, I think who you are fighting against is your own self. Do you have a strong enough will to be the person you envision yourself to be? [2] Were you able to accomplish that [be the person you see yourself to be] every time you face yourself? I think that is what (fighting) is all about.

wow, thats such a cool statement, and I think it's so true!
to fight to be the person you want to be, to be able to be yourself is the hardest thing but the most worthwhile.

HAHAHAHAHAHA he's so cute when he's talking about doing the puzzle ^^
I love how he does everything with total commitment and focus, whether it be a puzzle or planning a concert!

Me, I believe that my work is a representation of me [2].

ah I feel the same way about my art, thats why I'm so obessed with it... XD

But if you sharpen your senses, you'll be able to get more inspirations as well. [3]ah yes, yes, I understand this very well too, doing other things than your usual work with the same focus can open up your mind to new ideas and inspiration

Absolutely. ^^ The most difficult thing to overcome is yourself.

doing other things than your usual work with the same focus can open up your mind to new ideas and inspiration ^^

Oooh, very interesting. That's quite true as well. It's kind of like when you are looking for something you misplaced. The harder you try to remember, the more it won't come to you. But when you go off and do something else, it would just come to you. XD Ok, that doesn't really make sense. Hahahaha... XD But I do agree that doing something out of your normal routine would you give you new inspirations. ^^

Gackt and I are really clicking this evening XDXDXDXDXD

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA!!!! XD So I see~~ XD

hmmmm.... or it could just be that it's late and I'm babbling ^^"NOOO!! I think that is a really great way of reading the meaning!! :D I think you are right too! Good job!! ^^ Go late nights~~!! XD It seems that you are on a roll last

HAHAHHAHAAA ah no that makes sense ^^
it's like your brain works better on a subconsious level but you have to distract the consious side with somthing like a puzzle or whatever and so new things or things you had forgotten fit into place more easily once the consious side is distracted XD

NOOO!! I think that is a really great way of reading the meaning!! :D I think you are right too! Good job!! ^^ Go late nights~~!! XD It seems that you are on a roll last night. XD

AH HAHAHHAHAHA *falls asleep all over your LJ* XD

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Don't push it!!! XD *bites because you are probably wearing a helmet to protect yourself* XD

G: Fighting your own self. For example, if there is someone... (if) your rival is standing in front of you, that model (見本 mihon: sample; model) is very easy to understand, isn't it? Because a potential enemy [1] is easier to understand. (But) in the end, I think who you are fighting against is your own self. Do you have a strong enough will to be the person you envision yourself to be? [2] Were you able to accomplish that [be the person you see yourself to be] every time you face yourself? I think that is what (fighting) is all about.I utterly agree with Gackt here :> and THAT is why we're similar, in ways. Everything is just a fight that makes you stronger. It's really only you you're fighting against. Each challenge gets more and more difficult, and actually, I think I get the puzzle thing :P When you feel you cannot fight yourself, you turn to the basics. Puzzles, and small things like that. This way you can build up to where you have the right way of fighting yourself, getting over a personal obstacle to become the person you

[sweiled]

It's really only you you're fighting against. Each challenge gets more and more difficult

Yeap~ And because you are always improving yourself, you are alwys fighting with a better you. And so you slowly become a better person than yo were before. ^^

Ahahaha, I do get the puzzle thing as well. I huh-ed beacuse I was totally not expecting that. And it was in katakana so, I was, "erm... THAT 'jigsaw puzzle' puzzle?" XDDD But you are right. ^^ There are big and small challenges but all of them helps in improving yourself. :D

Ahahahahahaha, it's ok~ XD And you are welcome too! ^^ Thanks for the comments.

Thanks very much for the translation!..it was so lovely to read, and funny too..particularly;

I: What? (so you were) talking about snowboard. (bitter laugh)
G: Ah! But There are times when I get obsessed or become serious over cute stuff. Like, puzzles.

*snorts* XDDD

[sweiled]

Ahahahahaha~~ XD Yeap, that part was totally unexpected and interesting. ^^
