Ohhhhh, 'new album'!! Pumped! Being entitled "LAST MOON" is more than depressing though. ;;

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Somewhat intrigued, but if that's the final cover art... r.i.p. ;<

[CC. 1]

Interesting!

[Zeus 7997]

Ha! I got my wish after all!

Too greedy moon

[Peace Heavy mk II 7200]

Is that price going to pay for better album art?

[yakihiko 1480]

+10,000 ?! That iPhone comes inside?

[Cristate 249]

Too greedy moon

I hope oral sex is provided because the price tho

[Lestat 2167]

I am quite sure a regular edition for a regular price will come out. This initially was the price for his last release as well, but a regular edition simply hadn't been announced yet.

Either way. More new material? Oh yes, consider me hooked.

[Vitne Eveille 65]

Super excited about this!  I overall really enjoy the album format to singles, and it's been forever since he made a full album. Awesome!

 

Yes the price was pretty hefty, but that's the special edition pre-order. I imagine a regular version will come too.

[Trombe 22025]

GACKT will hold his live tour "GACKT WORLD TOUR 2016 LAST VISUALIVE 最期ノ月(saigo no tsuki)-LAST MOON- supported by Nestlé"

 

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

That's great and all but I thought we already knew he was doing a world tour? Is he coming to the United States? What are the tour dates? When is this facacta album coming out? Is he going to pull an X? These are the tough questions.

[Vitne Eveille 65]

Last I checked, CDJapan has it listed for release in April, and their pre-order is far less expensive than the initial Gackt.com pre-order.

[Vitne Eveille 65]

And yeah, that was really disappointing about X Japan's album being pushed back also. Though I'm still excited for the documentary!  And now that the concert is pushed back, I might actually have a shot at going, since I do in fact have a ticket (if it had been as scheduled, I wouldn't have been able to go)

[Lestat 2167]

Gackt's Platinum Boxes are equivalent to life. Such entertainment.

He is expecting a call from Mana

[NICKT 147]

Not his best look by far, but I can go with it. Loving the hell out of the dvd+cd cover though.

Anyone have eyes on the "MOON TYPE SPECIAL JACKET"? That and the booklet if they're the only differences between editions drive up the price by a lot...

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

Track list is exactly as reductive as I imagined it would be. Thanks Gackt for your brand new album of 80% singles.

I was holding onto the faint hope it wouldn't be so, but it is. It's not like the singles will be new album versions either. Even RETURNER～闇の終焉～ managed to make the cut and there's been an album since that got released, which was incidentally 100% singles. Such an anti-climax, considering this will more than likely be his last "studio album." 

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

I literally cannot believe that Returner made the cut. Like, its a great song for sure and seems to fit the theme of what the album is going for, but it was released nine years ago. I really would hope that they revamp it a little bit. I feel like the album will be a great one to listen to for first time Gackt fans, but long time fans will be (and obviously already are) pissed about this track list. 

[peffy 3568]

CD-only version = 3800 yen +tax? really ....?

 

Can't say I'm enthused about that track list.. I didn't really even like any of those singles much..

 

also, he kind of looks like he's got a lazy eye in the promo pic.
