What genre of music would you like to see GACKT attempt?


Or, what song would you like him to cover?

  1. I think I’d like to hear a cover of “Sweet Memories” by Olivia Ong or maybe a jazz song.

  2. I would like him to release a cover of either “Music of the Night” or “All I Ask of You” from Phantom of the Opera. I love that musical, and I think his voice would bring new life to those classic songs.

  3. Has Gackt really ever attempted heavier metal? I think he’s got the charisma and the voice for it myself. I bet he could pull off something more symphonic really well too.

  4. ALL OF THEM!! Just kidding. I’m sure whatever genre he approaches, it will sound great, and if he records a cover version of any song it will be a fresh and surprising version.

  5. A cover? Maybe something by Metallica.
    A music genre? I honestly don’t know… I’ll let him surprise me. lol

  6. I would like him to sing/cover at least one Disney song. Or do the full soundtrack for a new Disne movie.

  7. Whatever the song/genre is, as long as he put all of his heart in it, do his best and work hard for it, I think it will be precious for me to enjoy it..

  8. Cover – 夜明けのスキャット

    I have long wished that he would put out a nighttime album with lullabies and poetry. His voice would be very soothing to listen to as you fall asleep.

  9. “Song For the Siren” by Tim Buckley would be beautiful with Gackt’s voice. “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen. “God Bless the Outcasts” from Disney’s “Hunchback of Notre Dame”. If he wanted to go heaver, he could tackle anything by Iron Maiden. “Hallowed Be thy Name” or “Aces High”.

  10. I’d love to hear a sort of “post-hardcore”/alternative style. Something with some pretty hard and heavy singing and maybe a little scream thrown in here and there. I heard him do that kind of scream thingy once at about 0:40 in “Lu;Na” (Training Days 2006 Drug Party: Drug I version) And I nearly lost my mind! Its just so raw and feral.. I love it!

  11. Dear GACKTさん,

    you’re already exploring many music genres, so I’ve got nothing more to as for. I can just let you know, that I love it when you include Japanese instruments and sound pattern into your work.

  12. I’d like to hear him adapt an English song into Japanese. I think I’m more interested to hear how he translates the lyrics than anything else.

    I would also like him to do more heavier and/or fast paced songs. There’s been a lot of rock ballads lately- gotta balance it out!

  13. recently… I really want him to cover Tokyo Ghoul’s opening song. ” Unravel” .

    I would like to hear some metal and more hard rock from him.
