lesliekeesuper: @see_by_gucchi I heard about that when I was volunteering during the Osaka-Kobe Quake, to care for the victims’ hearts. We need to provide longterm psychological support. There is no need for professional skills for that, we just need to lend an ear to the victims and cry together with them. That is what I’ve learnt.

GACKT: Finally, we have announced the worldwide coordinated street fundraising event… For those who do not know about this, please check out [GACKT.com].
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: We announced to start our project of the street fund-raising worldwide at the same period. Did you read it in my blog yet? You can read the details of the street fund-raising world wide in my blog [GACKT.com]. Now you can read it in only English. But we are preparing other 8 languages. It can be within today.
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: We will soon have permission to raise funds at 123 locations within Japan. About 5000 people are taking part in this. Soon, 1000 of those people will start their shift. If anyone is thinking of helping up, shall we all call out together to all those who do not yet know about this? I will of course be there personally on the streets too.
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: @tenshixdoll No,nonononono, I just speak only 4 languages. English, Mandarin, Korean, and a little Japaneeeeeeeese. Because I am Samurai.
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: By participating in this, I learnt about reality. In this world, there are people who think about lots of stuff, just like me. I think that for those who do not show that they care, will soon learn from experience. It is more painful to learn about the world from experience.
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: Because we feel pain, we become gentle. Isn’t it important now for us to understand other’s pain, just a little? When we are on the internet, we feel less pain. However, the internet can also cause us pain through misunderstandings. Pain is something that connects a person to another
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: It is wrong to want to virtualize pain. For example, in normal conversations, we always say “I know, I know”, but that is because we imagine something using our own experiences. It doesn’t mean we really understand the real situation. We only think that it is somehow like this. But it’s not something we can imagine.
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: Being able to face pain directly is something which is lacking in this era. Just because culprits are able to hide their identities, doesn’t mean you can attack others and hurt them. When you hurt others, you also hurt yourself, and you end up hurting each other. Right?
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: Of course, people often say things just for pretences and appearances. I’ll say this directly. Are you so bored that you have to do this? In this world, there will surely be such bastards around you, right? I’ll say this: “I will never become such an bastard”.
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: My words are a little rude, but that is what I honestly feel. I am not someone who has received a great education, nor am I a good person. I am not full of conscience. I can often be cold. However, I am not a bastard who insults the hard work of others. I just want to make that clear.
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: Isn’t it better to have someone say “Let me help you” instead of asking “Please help me”? For that, in order to take action to help people, and to get everyone to help, I have to take action personally first. That’s all. That was why I took action.

mqq1525: You were unexpectedly respectful on MSta. Not a dolled-up Hamasaki Ayumi, but a barefoot Hamasaki Ayumi, her small body trembling with the force of her singing. It’ll be rude for anyone not to listen with their whole heart. I feel that this voice will surely link hope and smiles together someday. With all my heart, that was awesome.
