AKA:
Gackt
Gackt Camui was born in Okinawa, Japan, on a July 4 (precise year not publicly known), as the second of three children (he has an older sister and a younger brother). His father was a music teacher who primarily played the trumpet. According to his autobiography, he was a mischievous child and enjoyed taking risks; at age seven he nearly drowned while swimming off the coast of Okinawa. After this near-death experience, he claimed to have the ability to see and speak with deceased family members, a notion which was dismissed by his parents. At the age of ten, Gackt was hospitalized with a… More gastrointestinal condition and had to remain at the hospital for a prolonged time. He made the acquaintance of several terminally ill children, some of whom died during his stay. Gackt's musical education began at age three, when his parents initiated his classical piano education, of which he grew tired four years later. It would take another four years until his parents allowed him to quit. Competition with a friend lead Gackt to learn other instruments, with a focus on contemporary rock. He later resumed playing the piano.

    Gackt's been in a band known as Malice Mizer, and he now has a successful career as a solo artist, making lots of songs and videos and acting in movies and on various Japanese talk shows. He's the Michael Jackson of Japan, except he hasn't been in court o hide show

    Camui Gackt has created numerous songs, most of them very attractive. But he has made several uninteresting songs, especially when he was in Malice Mizer. He does appear as a metrosexual, and he is, but it just makes him look even more sexier than he already is. He's much older than he looks, but he is still doing better than ever in his career.

    Several of his videos are a bore, but he has some interesting ones. He's not that great at dancing...but he can pull of some greatly odd moves at his concerts, and they are entertaining.

    Gackt can play many instruments, can speak English and Mandarin, and a little French. (He was born in France too.) The instruments he plays include violin, piano, guitar, and many more...Gackt's real talented at all of these, but his main talent is his wonderful voice. He can turn any song, even if its a worthless one, into a remarkable piece. I've always liked Gackt ever since I was little, and I still adore his music and movies today.

    Gackt is a J-pop star and he's really big across seas. He know 7 of the worlds martial arts 4 of them deadly. He's a good cook and he's hot.

    Gackt was and is part of a band, but he wanted to go solo. He can play any Guitar, the Drums, the Piano and he's an actor. He loves to be nude and he looks a lot like a female.
