Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Okinawa, GACKT learned piano as a child before finding rock music. He played in Cains:Feel and joined MALICE MIZER as vocalist in 1995, reaching a wider audience through the visual kei band.
Finding his own voice.
He began his solo career in 1999. His first solo show took place at Omiya Arche on April 25, followed by the Mizérable EP on May 12. Vanilla reached No. 4 on Oricon later that year.
Stories onstage and onscreen.
His VISUALIVE concerts combine music, film and theatrical performance. He has also played Uesugi Kenshin in NHK’s Furin Kazan and Rei Asami in Fly Me to the Saitama, which earned him an Excellent Actor award at the 43rd Japan Academy Film Prize.
Where the music is now.
In 2025, GACKT brought his songs into an orchestral setting with YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz and Grand Philharmonic Tokyo. That collaboration led to a live album, a concert film and the 2026 Demonic Symphony: INFINITY tour.
