Even Before Filming, HIKARU and KAJISAC Were Nervous

It’s no surprise—they were preparing to meet the ever-charismatic GACKT.

They Reflect on Past Encounters with GACKT

Both HIKARU and KAJISAC mentioned they had met GACKT in the past, but only briefly.
Though unsure if GACKT remembered, they hoped he did—and it turns out he did.

GACKT Remembers Their First Encounter

Upon his arrival, GACKT recalled their past meeting, surprising everyone.
He even remembered a night at a bar six years ago—surrounded by ten women!
A true “king” moment that left a lasting impression on HIKARU.

What Is the Legendary “Tequila Party”?

GACKT’s birthday parties are next level.
Each guest must down 10 tequila shots at the start—survival of the fittest!
And the strongest of them all? His older sister, who downs sake by the bottle!

A Waiver Is Required to Attend?

Not just anyone can attend these parties.
If you can’t drink, you’re not allowed in. Signing a waiver is mandatory.
It’s more like a fight night than a party—with doctors and nurses on standby!

What Is GACKT’s Favorite Tequila “Cristalino”?

GACKT’s tequila of choice is the rare “Cristalino.”
He praises it for being so smooth he could drink the entire bottle.
He even owns the entire stock available in Japan!

The Secret Behind GACKT’s Beauty and Health? Avoiding the Unnecessary

Despite enjoying tequila, GACKT calls it a “completely unnecessary indulgence.”
He limits drinking to once a month and lives a strict routine-based lifestyle in Malaysia.

GACKT’s Philosophy on Human Relationships and Solitude

“Welcome those who come, don’t chase those who leave.”
GACKT’s core belief in relationships is clear and powerful.
His unshakable mindset resonated deeply with both HIKARU and KAJISAC.

From Rage to Calm – The Reason Behind GACKT’s Change

GACKT admits he used to be quick to anger, blaming high testosterone levels.
Now, he’s calmer and more centered, having grown from that period.

A Legendary Night with YOSHIKI

Though “different types,” GACKT recalls a wild night with YOSHIKI
where they drank 16 bottles of champagne until morning.
True icons recognize each other’s uniqueness.

What GACKT Is Still Chasing – Keeping a Promise to His Fans

“I don’t have dreams anymore,” GACKT says,
but he is still chasing one thing—a promise to visit every fan’s country.
This sense of responsibility shows why he remains a true icon.

GACKT’s “Poop Theory”!? Powerful Words That Hit Deep

GACKT shockingly described himself and his peers as “residents of the cesspool.”
“We’re all just poop—don’t get cocky just because you’ve got money,” he said.
Despite the crude phrasing, the underlying philosophy was full of humility and love.

HIKARU agreed, saying, “I don’t think I’m anything special.”
He emphasized the importance of staying grounded, even as an influencer.

On Hierarchy and Relationship Struggles

KAJISAC opened up about team members quitting, reflecting on
how he may have brought old-fashioned hierarchy into the modern YouTube world.

GACKT acknowledged that hierarchy exists, but emphasized that
“respect must come first,” and that imposing authority is the wrong approach.
He critiqued KAJISAC’s dynamic as possibly being one-sided.

GACKT’s View on Leadership – Don’t Blame Those Who Can’t

GACKT explained, “Talented people usually go independent.
If they’re still on your team, it’s because they’re not there yet.”
He likened blaming them to asking a dog to “meow”—it simply makes no sense.

KAJISAC Once Saw His Team as Family

KAJISAC admitted he viewed his team like family
and couldn’t bring himself to let them go.
“I took on their lives without asking,” he reflected, revealing his deep sense of responsibility.

GACKT responded, “That’s ego. Forcing your love on others doesn’t work.”
“Your ego and theirs are not the same,” he said—an unforgettable perspective.

Why No One Leaves HIKARU’s Team

HIKARU proudly shared that no one has ever left his team,
and there have been no major conflicts.
GACKT added, “I let people go before they decide to leave,”
emphasizing results over emotions.

On “Open Marriage” – HIKARU’s Bold Honesty

GACKT praised HIKARU for openly discussing “open marriage,”
saying, “He chose to take the hit—and I was deeply moved.”
Even after losing 250K subscribers, GACKT noted, “95% accepted it. This is a revolution.”

GACKT’s Views on Marriage and Love

“Why is cheating considered an absolute evil?” GACKT asked.
He questioned the societal norms that limit romantic choices and freedom.

He also explained why he doesn’t have a girlfriend:
“I don’t want to burden someone with that risk.”
He chooses not to commit to one person for their safety.

Marriage Isn’t About Walking the Same Path

One of GACKT’s most powerful ideas:
“Marriage is not about walking the same path, but walking nearby ones.”
Even if you drift apart, as long as you’re headed in the same direction, it’s enough.
KAJISAC said this perspective opened his eyes.

Why HIKARU Refused to Apologize After His Controversy

“I’ve decided to live without taking things back,” HIKARU said.
He shared his mission: to deliver reality, not branding.
Having no sponsors gives him the freedom to speak truthfully.

KAJISAC’s Heartfelt Thanks for GACKT’s Words

KAJISAC said he wanted to become a better husband.
He reflected deeply after hearing GACKT’s insights.
When KAJISAC used a “trolley” metaphor for relationships,
GACKT wittily shot back, “Yeah… that’s not quite right.”
