What's a Fanlisting?
A fanlisting is a an online brings together fans of a certain person / subject / object / activity / game / what-have-you through the use of a list of their names and the countries they're from.Who is Gackt?
Gackt is one of the more well-known Japanese musicians so far, and his music ranges from dark, angsty-sounding rock to more fast-paced songs, to mellow songs. He started out as a member of the Goth-Rock band, Malice Mizer, but eventually started a musical career of his own.Why THIS song?
This song was released as a single on White Day, a day pretty much like Valentine's Day, only the guys give gifts to their girls (in Japan, Valentine's Day is the day girls give gifts to their guys). As one would expect of a White Day single, the lyrics are simple yet sweet, and the music and melody itself is very light and fun (the more sentimental and sweet sounding version of this song was released as part of Gackt's sixth album, "The Seventh Night"). Even though it's a sweet, romantic song, it's not the type that you can only gush over if you're in love and get sick of after. I myself listen to it over and over, and I am particularly fond of the lines:
Perhaps the number of tears have been
Greater than the number of smiles but
~Stay close by~
That is
What I can do for you
