Gackt is a singer, writer, lyricist, composer, actor and musician (piano, guitar, drums and vocals) famous in Japan. His career ‘began’ when he and his friend You formed the band CAINS:FEEL with Gackt as the drummer and eventually on vocals. His career began to truly blossom when he joined the band MALICE MIZER. Though his true reasons for later leaving MALICE MIZER remain a mystery it is rumored he left because he wasn’t allowed to assist in writing/composing the music as much as he wanted to. He went on to begin a solo career with a band he called GacktJOB. Since the launch of his solo career, he’s gained an even greater fandom than he had while as the vocalist of MALICE MIZER, and has been extremely successful.
Gackt’s talents include composing all of his music and writing all of his lyrics. He can also play nine different instruments: the piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums, trumpet, tuba, trombone, horn, and euphonium. In 2003, Gackt co-wrote and co-starred in the movie MOON CHILD alongside HYDE of L’Arc~en~Ciel. He was the model for the protagonist of the video game Bujingai and more recently a mysterious character known as ‘Genesis’ in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. He has acted in many different commercials and voice-acted for the anime New Fist of the North Star (Shin Hokuto no Ken). In 2005, he was commissioned to write and perform the theme songs for Zeta Gundam: A New Translation, which were
‘Metamorphoze’ and a new arrangement of the song ‘君が待っているから’.

i'm still not done with the picture issue xD *votes current down* ^^;; @djangoneko: my absolute fav is Moon. o_o Moon's just perfect all the way through, because it has got awesome openers (noah, lu:na), brilliantly arranged tracks and songs you just can't stop singing along with (speed master <3). yep, lyrically and musically ace. it's been my first album anyway, so i'm afraid that my rating might not be the most objective. sorry xD what's your fav btw? ^^
