GACKT has made a brilliant comeback after declaring an indefinite leave of absence, and his charisma is still going strong.

On the 23rd, he made a guest appearance on the daytime variety show “Poka Poka” (Fuji TV), where he successfully completed the “Meat Cut Challenge,” in which he cut raw meat to the declared weight, becoming the first person to do so on the show. In the same program, he quipped, “Every year, I get bald because of that program (laugh).” Of course, that program is “Celebrity Ratings Check” (TV Asahi). In a special program aired on New Year’s Day, GACKT achieved a record of 71 consecutive wins. Furthermore, the raccoon meat that GACKT praised so highly on “Ratings Check” is sold out all over Japan.

GACKT got the correct answer and increased his winning streak to 71, but when he commented that raccoon meat was “delicious,” it became a hot topic on SNS. It became a hot topic on social networking sites because he commented that raccoon meat was “delicious.

Raccoons are known as a food source in the U.S. and other countries, but they are rarely available in Japan. Even in stores specializing in gibier, raccoon meat is only available on an irregular basis when hunters catch it. Therefore, raccoons have become out of stock on mail-order websites.

It is hard to believe that he had taken a break due to poor health a year ago, but on the other hand, many people are raising their eyebrows at his success.

The virtual currency “SPINDLE,” for which GACKT served as a billboard, attracted many investors before it went public with the claim that its value would increase 64 to 120 times. However, after the listing in 2006, the price went up sharply. However, after the listing in 2006, the price plummeted from a high of 200 yen to the current price of 0.0008 yen. While many of the investors lost a lot of money, GACKT, who sold out early, reportedly made a profit of tens of millions of yen, and it is also said that he earned several hundred million to one billion yen in agency income. Many people say that his leave of absence from September 2009 was a “temporary illness” to escape these allegations.

Furthermore, many people are displeased with the fact that he was reported by “Shukan Bunshun” (weekly magazine) to have had an affair with a married woman around the time he announced that he was taking a leave of absence.

When GACKT’s office announced in May that he would resume his activities within this year, there was a wave of calls for an explanation of the alleged affair and Spindle’s alleged fraudulent business practices.

Last fall, GACKT reported in a VTR that he would resume his entertainment activities and resume filming the sequel to the movie “Tonde Saitama. This magazine captured his appearance immediately after that.

GACKT emerged from the building where his restaurant was located after finishing dinner

One weekday evening, an American car pulled up to a building facing a narrow alley near the Nishiazabu intersection (Minato Ward). Soon after, five or six men and women emerged from the building. The driver quickly opens the door of the left rear seat and accepts a jacket from one of the women, which seems to belong to GACKT.

Then GACKT, wearing black sunglasses, emerges from the building. The building houses “K,” a famous high-end kaiseki restaurant known to those in the know. The nightly courses start at 20,000 yen. It seems that GACKT was enjoying a high-class kaiseki dinner at this restaurant with his acquaintances. When he came out of the restaurant, he looked even fitter than a year ago, and his glossy black hair was impressive.

GACKT was seen off by the restaurant staff, and he and his staff went to the pickup truck.

GACKT continues to perform as if all the allegations had never been made, but will he ever answer his own numerous suspicions?
