@@ArnnFrost I think Gackt has heard questions like these so many times, he might as well have fun with them now. But I love that about him. He doesn't trip over himself to use keigo/polite speak and is more blunt and honest than most celebrities you'll see on Japanese TV. But I do think he's dead serious about being ready to retire and not be "Gackt". Sadly, that fame will likely follow him until the day he dies.
@@rasen7721 I was talking about Gackt in general in relation to Japanese TV, not this interview. Though this also being said, you can frame your words even in English to be more polite or just not say anything at all, but even in English, Gackt was a bit scathing, lol.
Anyone who is a real fan of Gackt knows that this is how he answers every interview, regardless of whoever is interviewing. You never know what you're getting. Thanks. This was so much fun.
True but I've definitely seen him have better repoire. Most people catch on to his "trolling" or silliness , whatever you want to call it, a bit quicker than this guy. Gackt has always been pretty hilarious, glad to see he still is.
sarcasm is when someone purposely says the exact opposite with an obvious sarcastic tone, how the fuck would you otherwise know if the person is sarcastic or not? gackt just speaks very monotonously, is not even making jokes, nor tries to be sarcastic, since he knows that people will laugh at him anyway bc of his clout. I mean, even joey had trouble understanding if he was joking or not and is forcing himself to laugh at his lame ass dry jokes. i dont hate on the guy, but this is not my cup of tea, this is not sarcasm, just abusing fame, begging to be liked.
One of my favorite shows he was on was the 100 yen shop to promote his song Jesus. So many iconic moments on that alone! (I know that isn't some of his older stuff, but it was so good)
It's crazy how Gackt never ages (though his voice does sound dramatically different than past interviews). He used to claim he was a 400-year-old vampire, I'm starting to think he wasn't lying.
Nah he aged alot. Have you seen him during the 90s? He is more handsome than all the final fantasy boys combined. It's fine though, he should allow himself to age. People expecting him to still look like he was 20 yrs ago are unfair.
I thought for the most part Japan didn't understand and a youtuber Yuta confirmed it. But Gackt has been around the world and he was probably born sassy anyway
I expected him to make more sense in English but he's exactly the same as in Japanese - enjoys messing with your head and making everyone laugh awkwardly so you can never tell if he's joking or serious. I would have a nightmare trying to interview this man, fair play to you.
he's taken film crews to Kami's grave more than once and talks about him all the time, dont think it's that hard for him, he's just an asshole when it comes to MM. Also, why is he saying the name like THAT?
This dude is so famous that the scandals he's had that would ruin and halt the careers of any average Japanese celebrity has not affected him in the slightest
The most honest answer that we got from this man in the whole interview is the fact thtat he likes Kimetsu no Yaiba, all else is just him fucking around with Joey.
I was hoping Joey would speak Japanese towards the end and he'd be like "wait you speak Japanese? Wait, this is a real interview?" The cynical sarcasm by the end worked just as well though lol
what is this guy on? - he has invaded 5 armies - he can speak 6 languages, Japanese barely being one of them (one of them seems to be made up) - he is 600 years old - end goal is being saitama from one punch man - he claims that his ex-band friends are all dead, which they aren't - he hates himself, wants to become The Anime Man 2.0
@@goopybird Yeah, because the rest of Malice Mizer didn't tell Gackt that Kami died until I think after Kami's funeral? I don't think he was invited. But Gackt left the band at that point so....were they suppose to tell him?! I mean I wouldn't tell his diva/god like self either at the time since he decided to leave them and now all of a sudden he cares about Kami, especially the way he disregarded them in this interview (as funny as that bit was)?! But it was shocking when Gackt said in a way, "who are they?!".
if you speak japanese, but haven't been in touch with Japanese culture in the past 15 years. (for some reasons this pops out on my recommendation) This whole video is freaking bizarre. I'm shook. 1. Yes, he was a freaking legend in the 90s, like HUGE. probably sold 10s of millions of records. 2. WTF, he speaks great english? I would've never expected that. and he nails the english dry humor.. wtf. 3. He has a youtube channel now?? WTF?? 4. He hasn't aged that much since the 90s? This whole thing is just 🤯.. The most accurate way to explain this feeling to english speaking people: Imagine, let's say when David bowie was alive. you got recommended a video of him in an interview speaking in fluent chinese, joke around in chinese, and now he's running a youtube comedy channel.
I'm 31. Been a fan of this man since I was like 15. I now JUST learn he can speak english this good. Holy shit this is beyond surreal. EDIT: HE DOESN'T STOP WITH THE JOKES WHAT A SENSE OF HUMOR.
Same. It's really only in recent years his English has improved though. Gackt is one of those rare dudes who keeps mastering new shit the older he gets.
For those that don't know, him asking the guy if he is a tax collector is likely a joke from when Gackt was in trouble several years ago for alleged tax evasion.
I think he probably ain't feeling well though i can somehow sense that i'm empath afterall,he seems rather off wonder if something happened to him to make him feel that way.
I believe this man truly is 600 years old. The reason he seems detached from the interview is because he has grown tired of us petty mortals. When the day comes, Gackt will save humanity. I’m sure of it.
ok your idea of "near perfect english" is way different from mine. i guess that's fine and all but this guy definitely does not speak even decent english. it's just better than most japanese ppl proving how low the bar is here.
Meh. His staff are immune now. They are used to him. So what they find amusing is the fact poor Joey was easy fodder. Gackt saw him coming a mile away. lol
He is giving me a Johnny Depp vibes because he's super calm and yet can bust out funny lines during this interview. Overall really amazing guy¬ Gosh! Literally grew up hearing and seeing Gackt. Amazing
Wanted to watch this following the news of GACKT's indefinite hiatus due to poor health and a severe vocal disorder. Hoping that all is well with the entertainer and that he gets some much-needed rest & recovery.
I think his humor works better in Japanese? Since he definitely is acting silly like the boke in a manzai. English doesn't have that tsukkomi culture which can poke at the silly punchline without sounding rude, so it become a bit of a weird dynamic where Gackt throw the joke, but Joey didn't end it with a punchline and just goes along with it
@@Leonlion0305 I don't know enough about japanese style comedy, but I'll take your word that he's funnier in Japanese. That said, I think the awkwardness if it is funny by itself
One member of Malice Mizer (the original group) died. He’s talking about Ukyou Kamimura (Kami) who died of a subarachnoid hemorrhage in 1999. He said there were 6-7 members because people came and went from the band over the years. I think it was a loss in translation
@Bowmans ARROW Garnt is too weeb to do rock star interviews. Heck several months ago he just made his first YT video outside his comfort zone. He may have to do collabs first.
@@earvinarabia8733 He could do a video with Asian Kung-Fu Generation and talk about their anime openings or anime openings in general or something like that.
Oh man I remember watching him growing up. This is EXACTLY his personality..he was like that back in the days in Japanese programs. He always troll the interviewers and gives this charming poker face hahaha! Love him
@@cataclysmchildernsvoid3455 Not too odd, Keanu Reeves has had at least two instances of crazy fans breaking into his house. He just talked to them calmly and guided them out. Don't know if he also called the police, lol.
I hadn't heard of him before, but it's kinda cool that he has a very British style of sarcastic dry humour. It's unusual to hear a Japanese person speak this way. He's a very cool and funny guy.
@ASIA DRUM CHANNEL Eh... depends. Most Japanese humor on tv I've seen is so over-the -top and "in your face" compared to British humor which is more subtle.
I see a lot of comments on Gackt's humour and that he should be a comedian. You'll be happy to know that he's frequently been on TV with comedians and appeared on comedy programs that require a lot of comedic skill, and boy does he deliver.
I actually was introduced to Malice Mizer during Gackt's run. But I also loved a lot of when Testu was the lead. Why would people hate him? He seems so cool.
M+M were already making good music when Tetsu was their vocalist, and they were still making amazing music during their period of mourning Kami's death and then with Klaha as their new vocalist. I would even go so far as to say that their music was actually better when Gackt was _not_ in the band. Sure, Gackt has the good looks with the voice to match, and the band became really popular in great part thanks to him, but for me the "Gackt era" was somewhat a tad too cheesy and too mawkish for my taste... That's why I was actually glad when Gackt left. It meant no more songs like "Claire~tsuki no shirabe", "Premier Amour", "Après-midi", or "Je te veux", which was a good thing as far as I was concerned. It meant that they would probably take a new direction, and I was really excited about it. Of course, back then nobody could have guessed that Kami would die 6 months after Gackt's departure...
All the M+M vocalists were great. There’s no reason to choose when we can have them all. Personally Tetsu is my favorite in M+M because I love the gothy vibes, but I’m not gonna pretend I don’t own nearly all of Gackt’s solo stuff too. He’s so good!! Why wouldn’t I listen?
Interviewing Gackt must be the most terrifying experience as a person who occasionally watch Gackt on TV hahahah 😂 He has a very huge energy and power in Japan 🥲
gackt has snuck into the US military, possibly attempted to murder his band, scold a home intruder for eating snacks, and had an interview while stoned af with the anime man.
"My mum is an artist. My dad is a musician." A little bit before: "All musicians are assholes." Funny how he calls his mum an artist and his dad a musician. Really makes you wonder.....
@@nonotthereplease2929 Gackt certainly is though. Man was probably high as fuck or just didn't take this interview seriously at all because it was in English. Gackt is very xenophobic and still holds a lot of hostility for the band that made him, Malice Mizer. Really Mana-san made him and Mana's YT is far better than Gackt's YT channel and Mana san has translations.
@@PassionPno You just proved my point. He stood in Asia. Why could he not live in LA like Yoshiki lol? What ever happened to a US tour he promised years ago? Seriously though he doesn't care about his international fans whom are non-Asian. Gackt actually said one time he was racially profiled in France. So maybe he thinks it would happen in the US as well idk & that's why he doesn't accommodate to his English speaking fans, not even on his YT channel and its 2021. I hope that clarified my comment.
From the bottom of his heart, he misses MM so much, especially KAMI. But hate to tell about it, instead saying it in a funny way, LOL Please join MM as a guest star, imagine looking Gackt in visual kei outfit again
I can vouch, Gackt is legit one of the most well-known guys in Japan and he is definitely considered a legend.

This whole thing is just 🤯.. The most accurate way to explain this feeling to english speaking people: Imagine, let's say when David bowie was alive. you got recommended a video of him in an interview speaking in fluent chinese, joke around in chinese, and now he's running a youtube comedy channel.
helpful lol
Me after watching this:
Is he high?
Am I high?
Is everyone high?
Fr
Lmao
"Questions for later"
I could only ask the same lmao
this comment is deadly accurate
Either he's trolling or he sounds like he really wants to quit his job
maybe both. He seems really bored tbh
Even we (Japanese) don't know, he's a mystery (an annoying one).
@@bentooh2371 an annoying one😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@bentooh2371 you have some good humor 相棒ｗ
It probably has some truth in it

Same 😭😭😭👍
I'm 31. Been a fan of this man since I was like 15.
I now JUST learn he can speak english this good. Holy shit this is beyond surreal.
EDIT: HE DOESN'T STOP WITH THE JOKES WHAT A SENSE OF HUMOR.
Same. It's really only in recent years his English has improved though. Gackt is one of those rare dudes who keeps mastering new shit the older he gets.
Yo we’re the same age and started liking Gackt about the same time, twins XD
Exactly the same but I'm slightly younger!
@@flip-phone_becky4655 Same!
For those that don't know, him asking the guy if he is a tax collector is likely a joke from when Gackt was in trouble several years ago for alleged tax evasion.
Almost forgot about that 🤣
He is either high af or the best comedian ever.
Both c:
sometimes these two are interchangable
I think he probably ain't feeling well though i can somehow sense that i'm empath afterall,he seems rather off wonder if something happened to him to make him feel that way.

Ok, didn't expect to see GACKT on this channel today.
Easily now my favorite video of Joey's.
Same. This blew my mind 🤯.
HI FRIENDSHIPS 🐷🇯🇵
I was shocked to see him here
same !
I believe this man truly is 600 years old. The reason he seems detached from the interview is because he has grown tired of us petty mortals. When the day comes, Gackt will save humanity. I’m sure of it.
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
i dont know how the world would react if gackt and john maclean made a video together
@@hironyx Lord MacLean!
i honestly laughed so hard I started crying when he went "I really hate girls...... for eating snacks"
Today I learned: Gackt speaks near perfect English, and is a huge troll
He'S the personification of a troll, but I love it
MASSIVE troll
I wouldn't be suprised he speaks fluent British accent when he's out of Joey's sight XD and says stuff like sawdy no eng'dish
ok your idea of "near perfect english" is way different from mine. i guess that's fine and all but this guy definitely does not speak even decent english. it's just better than most japanese ppl proving how low the bar is here.
@@pjk13456 awful take is awful and nearly racist
He’s sarcastic enough for the whole country, that’s why nobody else in japan understands it
Where did hear that?
it's foreigners who don't understand him, japan understand him very well.

Shogo says on his channel Kyoto is sarcastic in the sense that they diss annoying people with compliments.
Joey is from one of the most sarcastic places in the world... yet somehow Gackt completely bamboozled him
This guy is actually such a troll holy shit
To be fair, Japanese people aren't exactly known for their sarcasm
@@darkdude1996ify hes aussie
@@darkdude1996ify But Gackt is from Okinawa... not Japan.
@@avoidant560 Very good. Most people aren't aware that Okinawa was not originally a part of Japan.
the tax collector joke was hilarious of him. we love him for making fun of his own scandals
Gackt's Humour, Joey's Reaction, and Gackt's Management losing it is the greatest fusion ever.
Meh. His staff are immune now. They are used to him. So what they find amusing is the fact poor Joey was easy fodder. Gackt saw him coming a mile away. lol

The comment is KILLING ME lmaoooo
GACKT has the most casual breaking and entering story in existence
It's called yobai, it's actually a custom in rural Japan XD
He is giving me a Johnny Depp vibes because he's super calm and yet can bust out funny lines during this interview. Overall really amazing guy¬ Gosh! Literally grew up hearing and seeing Gackt. Amazing
him and johnny should do a song together :)
this dude is so offline it hurts hes like "fuck everything idc"
Honestly only someone in his position can afford such attitude in Japan.
I feel like joey’s soul dies a bit when he intros in front of people

Wanted to watch this following the news of GACKT's indefinite hiatus due to poor health and a severe vocal disorder. Hoping that all is well with the entertainer and that he gets some much-needed rest & recovery.
As of late, he's been posting poker tournament stuff 😂
Such a weird, dry humor, but damn did it make me laugh. Screw Rock, Gackt should switch to comedy
Hahaha Stand up comedy on Netflix please
If he got an adult swim show I’d watch it
I think his humor works better in Japanese? Since he definitely is acting silly like the boke in a manzai. English doesn't have that tsukkomi culture which can poke at the silly punchline without sounding rude, so it become a bit of a weird dynamic where Gackt throw the joke, but Joey didn't end it with a punchline and just goes along with it
@@Leonlion0305 I don't know enough about japanese style comedy, but I'll take your word that he's funnier in Japanese. That said, I think the awkwardness if it is funny by itself

He should adventure into the world of drugs, I know a couple guys. But he has probably already been there.
@@Niko-pt9li No he doesn't need that really not
What's the difference really?
@@Noralia_Estella_Nightwood Nah, for a guy like him. He could use some
he's hundred years old
One member of Malice Mizer (the original group) died. He’s talking about Ukyou Kamimura (Kami) who died of a subarachnoid hemorrhage in 1999. He said there were 6-7 members because people came and went from the band over the years. I think it was a loss in translation
Nah, he's just being an ass hole. He could've easily answer "4", because that's all his band mate before he left.
@josephchristoffel Yeah, sure, lol ****. 🙄😒.
The shade he throw is so like him. How many are alive? "Just me right? Careerwise" damn!
he was also fucking with him , he meant it in a way where everyone was " dead " to him😭

His sarcasm was miles beyond Joey's comprehension.
I hadn't heard of him before, but it's kinda cool that he has a very British style of sarcastic dry humour. It's unusual to hear a Japanese person speak this way. He's a very cool and funny guy.
@ASIA DRUM CHANNEL Eh... depends. Most Japanese humor on tv I've seen is so over-the -top and "in your face" compared to British humor which is more subtle.
Whoa...I had no idea he spoke English at all. It's amazing that his humor is exactly the same across languages.

Death note reference
8:30 Actually, Kami died in 1999. When Joey said that all the members of Malice Mizer are still alive, I felt sad 💔
Me too :(
Why they joke abt that 😢
Was heartbreaking.....the way his long hair flowed when drumming was always mesmerizing...to me at least 😢
Normal people learning a language: **Goes to the internet to learn**
Gackt: **Goes to every Army in the world to learn a language for 300 years** 😂
His english is fantastic. His accent sounds like a mix of american and finnish.
American and *Australian
the fact that he looks so serious makes me believe everything he says oh god
I see a lot of comments on Gackt's humour and that he should be a comedian. You'll be happy to know that he's frequently been on TV with comedians and appeared on comedy programs that require a lot of comedic skill, and boy does he deliver.
He sounds american, japanese and french all at the same time
That's because he learned French in the past.
Gackt mixes bs with his actual responses. Proceed with caution.
my first impression is
gackt: who is this guy and why is he in my house
after a few minutes
this guy has the humor of chris broad and i love him
woah
As much as malice Mizer fans don’t like Gackt, I still think he is pretty cool 💀 His music in the Malice Mizer era was amazing I miss it sm
Fr, i want to hate him but he cracks me tf up
@@aba4055 FR he’s so funny 😭
I actually was introduced to Malice Mizer during Gackt's run. But I also loved a lot of when Testu was the lead.
Why would people hate him? He seems so cool.
M+M were already making good music when Tetsu was their vocalist, and they were still making amazing music during their period of mourning Kami's death and then with Klaha as their new vocalist. I would even go so far as to say that their music was actually better when Gackt was _not_ in the band.
Sure, Gackt has the good looks with the voice to match, and the band became really popular in great part thanks to him, but for me the "Gackt era" was somewhat a tad too cheesy and too mawkish for my taste... That's why I was actually glad when Gackt left. It meant no more songs like "Claire~tsuki no shirabe", "Premier Amour", "Après-midi", or "Je te veux", which was a good thing as far as I was concerned. It meant that they would probably take a new direction, and I was really excited about it. Of course, back then nobody could have guessed that Kami would die 6 months after Gackt's departure...
All the M+M vocalists were great. There’s no reason to choose when we can have them all. Personally Tetsu is my favorite in M+M because I love the gothy vibes, but I’m not gonna pretend I don’t own nearly all of Gackt’s solo stuff too. He’s so good!! Why wouldn’t I listen?
he's like Natsuki if he ever ran out of batteries
Im dead 💀

Really Mana-san made him and Mana's YT is far better than Gackt's YT channel and Mana san has translations.

Seriously though he doesn't care about his international fans whom are non-Asian. Gackt actually said one time he was racially profiled in France. So maybe he thinks it would happen in the US as well idk & that's why he doesn't accommodate to his English speaking fans, not even on his YT channel and its 2021. I hope that clarified my comment.
From the bottom of his heart, he misses MM so much, especially KAMI. But hate to tell about it, instead saying it in a funny way, LOL
