Incomplete or out of date

A lot of this information is incomplete or out of date (such as his birthday, which he has begun to release, etc.) I don't have time to write now, so perhaps someone else could begin updating this info? I'll be back when I have a few more minuites! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.42.160.4 (talk • contribs) 22:45, 28 January 2005 (UTC)

Discography

I will start to work on adding pages for Gackt's albums, as I have done with other singers. Anyone who wants to help out is encouraged to do so. --Beau99 09:53, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Most of the albums are now done, work should start on singles. I have already started if people want to help, they sure can, this is wikipedia. Shindekokoro 18:56, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Should Gackt's projects with Malice Mizer be represented in the discography for this article? Voyage and Merveilles are in the Albums section, but the Singles section has none of Malice Mizer's work. What should be done about this? --KattBon 02:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

In the Japanese page of Gackt, it said he was born in 1960. This agrees with the video on youtube with the yearbook picture and the years he went to high school. hes 44 years old!

please sign your comments. Gackt went to highschool with his bandmate You, who was born in 1973. Doubtful he's born in 1960, and since he has never officially listed his birthday, that information shouldn't be included unless it has a reliable source. Oncamera 21:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
No, he met You at the sound studio. He first saw him performing, and when he met him in person he didnt recognize him because he wasnt wearing make-up, thus, when Gackt started performing he imitated You by wearing make-up also. User:Johnnymushio
Either way, Gackt hasn't released his birth year officially and on the Japanese version of wikipedia, it says his birth year is 1540. Oncamera 04:10, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

"Closing" of Tamaly Bar

Also, recent news to Dears members have been made known: Tamaly bar will be closing its doors forever at the end of this year, thus ending Gackt's career as a bar owner.

Can anyone cite a source for this?

If true, it should be better located within the article. --Mankawabi 11:50 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Possibility of preventing access to none members. I have notice that recently this page has been subject to repeated vandalism Shindekokoro 04:59, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Real name?

Manabu Satoru is what people think Mana's real name is. How could both of them be under assumed names from one identity? It makes no sense. Sounds like crazed fans dabbling in conspiracy theory to me. Sabi saotome 16:35, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

His real name appears to be 岡部学 Okabe, Satoru[1]. Other sites say that his surname was changed to Ōshiro (大城) after his parents divorced [2]. The name "Manabu" seems to be erroneous (the name "学" usually is read "Manabu" or "Gaku" instead of Satoru). Evan1975 06:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Neither one of those is a reliable source. I'm doubtful there is even a reliable online source for his real name. oncamera(t) 06:57, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Marriage, Divorce

I heard he had married and divorced a woman in Shiga and had a child by her, but had forced her to keep the whole episode secret during his early rock days. Any news on that?struggle 14:30, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure about the matter of the child. But if I am not mistaken, Gackt did mentioned about his marriage and divorce to a Korean lady in his autobiography, Jihaku.

Gackt did indeed mention his marriage and divorce to a Korean in Jihaku. According to what he wrote, she had a nervous breakdown from all the fans waiting outside the house, prank phone calls, along with many other factors. From what Gackt stated in his autobiography, the marriage was very short. Ismene 21:59, 22 March 2007

You?

Who is You? Surely not the actress "You"? --203.222.161.178 02:45, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Nope, this You's a guy. Kyou 05:44, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Tamaly Bar Closing

The official announcement of Tamaly Bar's closing was made on the official website. However, since it's closed, the site has gone down.

While I'm not sure if there has been an official announcement of Gackt's birthday, it was featured in the opening movie of Gackt Live Tour 2004 THE SIXTH DAY & SEVENTH NIGHT 〜FINAL〜. On the back of what was supposedly Gackt's grave marker, read the dates 1973~2007 under his name. Some fans have fretted and worried that he would quit his musical career at that time, but most think it unlikely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ksporkie (talk • contribs) 11:18, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
