The 4th of July is a day for celebration indeed. Could any other day be quite so very grand? I think not! Gakuto-sama's birthday reigns supreme and really deserves its own holiday... oh, and I suppose those crazy American might've been celebrating that Independence Day thing too. It was Gackt Day for me though!

Having just turned 28, His Lordship Gackt's solo j-pop career is still going strong, although I personally preferred him musically during his time with Malice Mizer. As such, as a treat for those of you that aren't familiar with his music, I've put up a number of samples. Are they from his solo career? Maybe from the recent Rebirth album? Oh no, these samples are from his j-rock days with Malice Mizer and they rock indeed. Head on over to the real audio section and bask in the visual rock goodness.

The audio treat is nice, sure, but what would Gackt Day be without some visual Gakuto goodness? It just wouldn't be right at all, so I've thrown up a pair of wallpapers featuring the sexy superstar (oh no, it's not just shameless skin, it's an artistic portrayal of Gackt au naturel... really!). Take a peek at the wallpapers section to see Gackt in his birthday suit. Could anything be more appropriate? I think not. Enjoy!

I hope you all had a good time on Independence Day, and managed to avoid any drunken firework mishaps. Idiots really shouldn't be allowed within a hundred feet of those explosive goodies.
