Gackt released his autobiography, Jihaku (Confession), in 2003. Readers will find this book a fresh change from his usual cryptic style of speaking. Gackt is endearingly honest in this book and gives intimate details of his personal life, things which he has never revealed before. Some of the topics included inside are his childhood, his old bands (including his history with Malice Mizer), his philosophy of life, as well as his dreams and ambitions. This book allows you to gain further insight into Gackt and is highly recommended, especially to new fans who are still trying to learn more about Gackt. Indeed, you will walk away an expert on Gackt after reading this book! Either that or be more confused than ever as to who this man really is...
This book was translated by Gerald Tarrant from Shiroi Heya. It's not done by us, so go beg him yourself if you want it for your website. <3 Many thanks to him for doing such a wonderful job and for spreading Gackt's words to people who do not speak Japanese. Gerald, you have truly earned the undying love and gratitude of all Gackt fans. XD
