Japan (1999 – present)

GACKT (神威楽斗, Kamui Gakuto, born July 4, 1973, Okinawa, Japan) is a singer, songwriter, model, designer, actor, voice actor, author, poet and multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, violin, drums, bass, trumpet, tuba, french horn, trombone, and so on…) famous in Japan. Since the launch of his solo career, he has gained an even greater fandom and notoriety than he had while working as the vocalist of the iconic visual kei band MALICE MIZER, and has been extremely successful.

His career ‘began’ when he and his friend You formed the band CAINS:FEEL with Gackt as the drummer and eventually on vocals. His career began to truly blossom when he joined the band MALICE MIZER. Though his true reasons for later leaving MALICE MIZER remain a mystery it is rumored he left because he wasn’t allowed to assist in writing/composing the music as much as he wanted to. In 1999 he went to begin a solo career with a band he calls GacktJOB.

Gackt’s talents include composing all of his music and writing all of his lyrics. He can also play nine different instruments: the piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums, trumpet, tuba, trombone, horn, and euphonium. In 2003, Gackt co-wrote and co-starred in the movie MOON CHILD alongside Hyde of L’Arc~en~Ciel. He was the model for the protagonist of the video game Bujingai and more recently a mysterious character known as ‘Genesis’ in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.
