This is a very loose translation, you'll have to forgive me.

"Today there isn't much time but here is Kazuya, one of Gackt's dancers, here in Romania. Is that real?!" Something, something... "[from Kazuya] Good to meet you.

The past few days we have been shooting action scenes in the rain. The rain pours down so much and for so long, it's like practicing asceticisms as a monk!" [This is a reference to something called misogi; it's frequently seen in anime and movies and it's an iconic traditional method of meditation where you stand or sit beneath a waterfall]

Ehh, something about soaking wet and being a good man... ("ii otoko wa mizu ni nurete mo ii otoko...") I think maybe "A good man who is already soaking wet and gets wetter is already a good man?" I'm sorry, I wish I were better at Japanese. -______-

Anyway, they go on to say that from being in the rain all day, his face kind of looks like anpan man. X3; There's another part I don't understand completely nor have any idea how to translate, so moving on...

They say that this is, obviously, a picture of a banana but... something about half of it, and eating only half of it (this might mean taking one large bite and eating half of it all at once). And that they weren't going to take a picture of anyone eating it because it would look obscene. X3

As for Gackt's extremely dirty joke in his blog, highlight the text below:

"All day yesterday we were shooting a scene that takes place in the rain.

It was a long filming and I was constantly feeling wetty~ [ウェッティ~] It's a sopping dripping wet party! When you write it out like that it sounds really obscene!

Remember, above all you've gotta keep your body flexible for this...

The whole point of spreading your legs while you're sopping dripping wet is to feel good [lit. the meaning of a spread open sopping dripping wet crotch is to feel good]"

e.g. "when a crotch is spread open and wet, it's usually in preparation for a good time."


Note that the above was ONLY stated in his private blog which is only accessible to fanclub members. I posted about this on MY blog, and a friend of mine found it offensive, not seeming to understand that this isn't some kind of PUBLIC STATEMENT from Gackt, but a dirty joke intended for fans to laugh at.

Gackt is usually extremely gentlemanly (he served as Julie Andrews' escort when she came to Japan for a movie premiere a few years ago and essentially took her out on a date!) and fairly prudent (except one time several years ago on a talk show, the hosts intimated that he might have a small you-know-what, and Gackt immediately blurted out something really goofy in his defense, but that's a can of worms I won't go open XD;;;).



I hope this is okay...
