I find it annoying when he says all these things, and although it seems like he put a lot of thought in it, it's still sort of naive and from a narrow point of view. Even so, he does say some good stuff too sometimes. Even though I quite like him, I think it's best to just not take him too seriously lol<br /><br />I like how you said "And indeed, it wasn't easy to follow all his examples, Gackt's way of thinking is complicated lol". He's also quite contradictory (especially about politeness..the way he talks usually isn't polite despite complaining about how people talk to him), which is quite annoying. <br /><br />Oh well. I suppose the best thing to do is laugh at him.GodzillaRadiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740668791641571035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323571674926016503.post-78635426957993519012011-10-12T14:14:53.867-07:002011-10-12T14:14:53.867-07:00I forgot to write it but thanks a lot for these su...I forgot to write it but thanks a lot for these subs!Takonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323571674926016503.post-25203647286843513592011-10-12T13:18:42.097-07:002011-10-12T13:18:42.097-07:00I didn't know songwriters had to take in accou...I didn't know songwriters had to take in account the karaoke criteria. Very interesting fact to know. This explains a lot why there is often an instrumental track sold with the song.<br />I guess there must be a big lobbying industry of karaoke in Japan lol<br /><br />This is true the phenomena herbivorous men, I saw various articles and videos reporting it. Well, it was some women complaining a bit with men being less forward with the ladies lol.<br />Though I don't agree with Gackt's point of view about women taking more initiatives (and becoming more "bold"). As you said, this is the result of a historical process, and in my opinion I see this evolution as positive, especially in Japan, because of Confucianism it is well-known to see women more submissive, following more men or their husband in general.<br />And in Japan this is a patriarchal society (so not a real surprise to see Gackt thinking like that) and also gerontocracy. So I'm glad to see women taking more initiatives in general (to men's great displeasure) and I wouldn't be surprised to learn if it is some men who invented this urban legend of carnivorous women... And maybe women counter-attacked with the conception of herbivorous men lol<br />(Anyway this is mainly the fault of Confucianism)<br /><br />Gackt said people should get married when they feel this is the right moment and not consider it as summer homework. Easy for him, he is a man. He is right but problem, there is this conception about Japanese women:<br />"QUESTION: What do the Japanese mean when they compare women to Christmas cakes?<br />ANSWER: After the 25th, no-one wants to buy them anymore.<br />It is an old joke so the figures have changed, but the basic idea remains: women have to get married when they're still young (traditionally before they turn 25), otherwise they'll be impossible to "sell".<br />http://podjapan.blogspot.com/2007/04/couples.html<br /><br />I agree with him about society becoming more safe but I find weird he insisted he prefered to see his nephews playing arcade game, even if it does apply they would go to dangerous places, instead of playing video games at home (in addition video games at home are more various than arcade games lol).<br /><br />I guess the previous generations got more the "fighting spirit" compared to the newest generations because life became more easy (less poverty in general) and more peaceful (compared to the previous era).<br /><br />I wonder why all women are so excited to see Gackt (I know he is charismatic but still...). Not long ago, I read Tominaga Miki's husband is Makoto from Sharan Q but Tominaga Miki shouldn't forget Makoto is also charismatic (like Gackt) with his mushroom hairstyle lol<br /><br />When Gackt talked about the fact it was very important to do live concert in order to show your cool and charismatic side as artist, I couldn't stop smiling while remembering he lip-synched his latest concert in France... (according to fans reports)<br /><br />And indeed, it wasn't easy to follow all his examples, Gackt's way of thinking is complicated lolTakonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323571674926016503.post-16389745211012525782011-09-25T21:30:31.748-07:002011-09-25T21:30:31.748-07:00To irinabel1: Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah it's pretty contradictory if you go by my description. I put the information about grooming in the description as that's part of the stereotypical image of 'herbivorous' guys, but I suppose Gackt's only referring to the lack of aggressiveness and mental toughness etc that are generally attributed to them as that's the only thing he criticizes.<br /><br />Even so, maybe he shouldn't have said herbivorous guys :s.

Carnivorous are the opposite, and will openly go after women. The Dinosaur type is something Gackt just made up, and I suppose they devour females.....;p"<br /><br />Gackt's dislike of herbivore's confuses me. I mean half of the things they do are things he does. How can Gackt criticize herbivores for their interest in self grooming and fashion when he owns 300 thongs and waxes all of his body hair? The only thing he can criticize herbivores for without seeming like a complete hypocrite is their disinterest in dating and sex. But is that really worth making a big deal over?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323571674926016503.post-25407338146637580622011-09-19T08:44:17.451-07:002011-09-19T08:44:17.451-07:00Quess what.
