It bugs me too, and particularly why should his age matter? People have been guessing 1973 for years now, certainly he didn't think he was 465?

[xrytalmad]

Age shouldn't matter, but there are a lot of people who put emphasis on age. =/ Not only to artists but in real life too.

The article on KenEnter.com is just a translation only

The article on KenEnter.com is just a translation of the original one on Oricon only. On the original article, the word "アラフォー" really means men around 40.

Yes, I know. It's the Japanese culture. In Japanese eyes, artists over 35 is kind of old already, some of the girls even call them "uncle". Fukuyama is 41 and GACKT is 37. If you read the whole paragraph, it's a kind of appreciation. As it mentions that they are in the same singer league (around 40)but they are still very beautiful to become the first and the second. Therefore, no need to be angry.. ^^

wow. his former marriage my not have been the first thing I learned about but found out along the way. the media will try to fuck up anyones life any way they can. even with the littlest info

[xrytalmad]

Ok.. maybe not the first thing, but I dunno... I thought it's quite easy to find out. ^^;;

[kakashi4ever31]

well....it's kinda easy to find out if you can read and understand Japanese. which in my case I can not lol

[xrytalmad]

There are translations. When I found out about it I couldn't understand Japanese.

srsly!!! who cares about his age?!
he is one talented hot guy, end of story.
sensationalism is all it is how else do they sell papers and get ratings?

[phililen3]

ps: how can he read with those sunglasses on? or is he just posing?
master is soo weird
are the lights too bright for him? somebody turn them down...

[xrytalmad]

XD!! He is probably used to the darkness since his house is so dark. Plus of cos the coolness factor XD

[xrytalmad]

Japan has weird thinking regarding age.
Like girls who are not married by 30 will become unwanted, so they all try to get married by 30. Like I say, weird. =/
