In a video where Hikaru visited his hometown friend Kyohei’s home, a moving surprise came true. Hikaru specially gifted tickets to a GACKT concert—a superstar Kyohei has been following for 25-26 years since elementary school.
Kyohei’s Deep Bond with GACKT
Kyohei has been a huge GACKT fan since elementary school. His enthusiasm was so intense that even Hikaru knew about it from their student days.
“Since elementary school already. Whenever we went to karaoke, he’d definitely sing GACKT.”
During middle and high school, whenever they went to karaoke, Kyohei would always sing GACKT songs. He apparently made Hikaru listen to his favorite songs over and over again.
“I sang it so abnormally much that even Hikaru ended up singing it at karaoke.”
Favorite Artist of His Life
For Kyohei, GACKT isn’t just an artist he likes.
“GACKT is the person I love most in my life.”
“It’s not something you can express with words like ‘like’ or ‘fan.’ It’s on a different level.”
These words show just how devoted Kyohei is to GACKT.
First CD Ever Purchased Was GACKT’s Album
In middle school, Kyohei didn’t have much money. Still, the very first CD he bought with his saved money was GACKT’s album “Love Letter.”
“At Tower Records in Himeji, that was the first album I ever bought myself.”
He purchased this album wanting to hear the song “Love Letter” included in it, and it remains Kyohei’s treasure to this day. He’s even sung this song at a friend’s wedding.
Collaboration with GACKT Had Been Realized
Actually, Hikaru had previously made a collaboration with GACKT happen.
Before Kyohei appeared on Hikaru’s channel, when Hikaru told him “I might collaborate with GACKT,” Kyohei was abnormally excited in the car.
“I was super excited, right, in the car.”
And the collaboration actually happened.
GACKT’s Appeal
The appeal of GACKT that Kyohei and Hikaru discuss isn’t limited to just music.
1. A Man That Men Fall For
Hikaru: “Isn’t it that he’s a man that boys fall for?”
The person loved by the same sex is the real deal—that’s what Hikaru and Kyohei say.
2. Amazing Live Vocals
“Live vocals are insane. There are various artists, right? He absolutely performs with live vocals.”
At concerts he never fakes it; even when his throat is in bad condition, he sings as is. Kyohei respects that attitude too.
3. Speaking Ability
“His speaking ability was really high, right?”
Stories about Dubai and other long stories always have proper punchlines, and he’s said to have captivating storytelling skills.
4. Unchanging Appearance
Hikaru: “He’s barely changed since childhood.”
Even with age, he doesn’t deteriorate and continues to be GACKT—that immutability is also part of his appeal.
Even Attended the Christmas Party
Hikaru had been invited to GACKT’s private Christmas party after the concert.
This party held after the concert on December 23rd included:
- About 50 participants
- Kawaski Mao
- Many celebrities gathered
Bingo Prize Items Too Extravagant
A bingo game was held at the Christmas party, and the prizes were abnormally extravagant.
Bingo system:
- Spin the roulette in the order you got bingo
- Roulette gives “1/10 chance for prize draw”
- 9/10 chance for tequila
- Prize draw gives GACKT-related personal items
Prize examples:
- Fishing rod
- Sunglasses
- Other GACKT personal items
“You can get things like fishing rods or GACKT-related items, like sunglasses or personal belongings.”
Kyohei was apparently envious.
Tequila Hell
This Christmas party actually had the ordeal of drinking massive amounts of tequila.
Initially the roulette had options of “1 shot of tequila, 2 shots, 3 shots, or prize draw,” but GACKT declared “We don’t have time, so double all of these.” Three shots became six shots—an outrageous amount.
Hikaru wanted to drink too, but because he had work early the next day, he ended up leaving earlier than anyone else.
“It was super awkward, but I left earlier than anyone.”
Kajisac’s Consideration
Actually, when leaving, Kajisac stood up first and said, “Ah, the alcohol is pretty good, and the meat is amazing.”
Thanks to that, it became easier for Hikaru to leave, but in the end Kajisac sat back down, and only Hikaru left.
While thinking “This guy is lame,” Hikaru had no choice but to go home.
Direct LINE from GACKT
Later, a LINE message came directly from GACKT.
“Thank you so much for coming to something like that year-end party. Let’s go out for a meal again.”
Hikaru was moved by this consideration, saying “That’s so cool.” He seems drawn to GACKT’s humanity as well.
And Then the Concert Ticket Gift
Hikaru had prepared GACKT concert tickets as a gift for Kyohei.
And these weren’t just any tickets.
Special points:
- January 18, 2026, Yokohama Arena (World Tour)
- Special Yellow Fried Chickenz (YFC) seats
- 4 consecutive seats (for Kyohei, Hikaru, and 2 others)
- Very good seats
YFC Concert is Special
“Yellow Fried Chickenz (YFC)” is a special concert format different from GACKT’s solo performances.
“There are songs made with YFC, and you can hear ‘See you here again.'”
For Kyohei, this is his first time going to a YFC concert. It holds even more special meaning.
200:1 Competition Ratio Tickets
This concert was actually an ultra-popular show.
Kyohei tried to go last year but couldn’t get tickets. He had to take care of his children and thought “Maybe I’ll go to Tokyo alone,” but it was impossible.
These tickets were specially arranged by Hikaru through GACKT’s side. It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
Kyohei’s Emotion
“This is crazy. This will never happen again in my life.”
Receiving the gift, Kyohei was moved beyond words.
GACKT, whom he’d been following for 25-26 years since elementary school. Tickets invited by the man himself. And special seats at that.
“Like, I got into him around elementary school, so I’ve been following him for about 25-26 years continuously, and to actually be invited by the man himself, isn’t that crazy?”
Opportunity to Meet Directly Too
Hikaru had prepared an additional surprise.
“And we’ve been given the opportunity to meet directly.”
On the concert day, although it would be a short time, an opportunity was arranged to greet GACKT himself directly.
“This is insane.”
“Can I meet him?”
“You can meet him.”
Video Recording OK
Moreover, that moment will be captured on video.
“Something that will last forever.”
For Kyohei, this will undoubtedly become a priceless treasure.
Sequel Decided
Following this development, a sequel to the Kyohei series has been decided.
Next time will accompany them to the GACKT concert at Yokohama Arena. The historic moment of Kyohei meeting GACKT will be filmed.
“This is really. This is truly a historic moment.”
Surprise Only Possible Because They’re Best Friends
Hikaru was able to make this surprise happen out of gratitude for Kyohei coming to Tokyo last time and making the video a huge success.
“Well, he came to Tokyo, and helped boost the channel, so I have feelings of gratitude.”
Returning the favor to a best friend, and the timing coincidentally overlapping with the GACKT collaboration. It’s a miraculous surprise where everything aligned.
Summary
Kyohei, who has been following GACKT for 25-26 years since elementary school.
What was realized:
- His name appeared in Hikaru and GACKT’s collaboration video
- Participated in GACKT’s Christmas party
- Direct LINE from GACKT
- Gifted special concert tickets
- Can meet GACKT himself on concert day
- That moment will be captured on video
Could there be a happier fan than this? Kyohei’s happiest moment in life is about to arrive.
Being recognized by and able to meet directly “the person I love most in my life.” For a fan, there’s no greater joy than this.
Next time, the moment Kyohei meets GACKT—don’t miss that historic scene.
