GACKT’s “Report on the Discovery of Adultery” Leads to a Sense of Hopelessness about the Sequel to “Tonde Saitama”

The musician GACKT, who announced his indefinite suspension due to health problems, was having an affair with a married woman in her thirties, according to a report in the November 18 issue of “Shukan Bunshun.

A married woman who was a fan of GACKT sent a DM to him through Instagram on July 4th last year, his birthday. She then received a reply from him. He called her up at a cafe in Nagoya City, and the message read

Don’t get carried away because there are other people around.

It seems that he was showing his “GACKT-sama” attitude to a woman he had never met before. On the same day, they had their first physical relationship at a hotel in Nagoya.

Later, when her husband suspected her movements and took a peek at her smartphone, he found out that she was having an affair with GACKT. When he questioned his wife, she confessed to him.

GACKT announced his indefinite hiatus on September 8, but even after that, it seems that he was “not afraid” to have fun with women. “GACKT announced his indefinite hiatus on September 8, but even after that, it seems that the only thing he cared about was playing with women.

The woman later sent him a message saying, “I can’t see you anymore because my husband found out,” and that was the end of it. However, her husband is said to be so angry that he is prepared to take legal action. In the first place, the woman’s Instagram contains several photos of her and her husband, so GACKT’s excuse of “I didn’t know she was married” will not work.

“It seems that even when Bunshun contacted the office, there was no answer because “the person in charge was not available. It’s not like GACKT to run away because there is no one in charge. If he continues to keep his mouth shut, it may affect his comeback.

The day before the report by Bunshun The day before Bunshun reported, it was reported that GACKT had given up his appearance on “Celebrity Ratings Check” (TV Asahi), a New Year’s Day tradition. I think he realized the gravity of the situation when Bunshun confirmed the facts, and completely eliminated the option of appearing.

As a substitute, YOSHIKI of X JAPAN, who teamed up with GACKT for two consecutive years in ’18 and ’19, was chosen. It was supposed to be a touching broadcast about his struggle for his friend who was fighting an illness, but when it turned out to be this, it was as if YOSHIKI’s face had been smeared with mud.

What seems to be causing him even more headaches are the people involved in the movie “Sho de Saitama”, in which he plays the lead role. The sequel was announced in August of this year, but filming was postponed indefinitely due to GACKT’s health problems.

Fumi Nikaido, the heroine of “Sho de Saitama II,” was scheduled to appear in the sequel, but due to his poor health, all filming schedules were put on hold. He was causing trouble in terms of work, but when the lid was lifted, he was still having an affair….

The people involved were beyond angry. The last movie was a huge hit with box office receipts of about 3.7 billion yen, but with the news of the affair, it is believed that it will be very difficult to make a sequel with GACKT in it.

On the other hand, GACKT’s influence in the media may be there. None of the major media outlets have followed up on this affair story, and it has hardly been reported on TV.

GACKT has had many affairs with beautiful women in the past, so the public would not have been so surprised if it was just a normal “relationship” with a woman. However, if he was having an affair behind the scenes while taking time off from work due to illness, he would have to be held accountable for his actions. I wonder what “GACKT-sama” will do about this affair…
