Gackt's musical education began at age three, when his parents enrolled him in classical piano lessons. During his childhood he familiarized himself with brass instruments, and also played electric guitar and drums. Gackt's musical career began in 1994 as the drummer, and eventually the singer of the independent band Cains:Feel he formed with his friend You. His career began to truly blossom when he joined the visual kei rock band Malice Mizer in 1995. He made his first recordings in 1999, after left the group and began a solo career, signed to the reputated record label Nippon Crown. He was immediately recognized, and with a big following his recordings regularly charted high on the Oricon (Japanese Billboards) charts. Despite his notoriety, only one single managed to top the charts, Returner ~Yami no Shūen~ (2007), reputated for incorporating the Japanese traditional instruments with rock music, and the wonderful music video.
On June 29, 2007, he performed (as the singer and pianist) with S.K.I.N., a group who also consists of other famous Japanese rock musicians; X Japan co-founder Yoshiki, Luna Sea guitarist Sugizo, and Miyavi, at the Anime Expo convention in Long Beach, California. In 2013 will go on a new national tour after four years, named Best of the Best Vol. 1., where will perform his best songs up to date.
Gackt, in addition to being a composer and songwriter, is also involved in film and voice acting. He starred in the film he wrote, Moon Child (2003), and his international debut Bunraku (2008), while also appearing in TV series such as the NHK drama Fūrin Kazan (2007). He also performed live in theatre stage productions such as Nemuri Kyoshiro Burai-Hikaye(2010), and he wrote Moon Saga Yoshitsune-Hiden (2012). His music has been used as theme songs for various video games, anime films and television series - mostly where he also had an acting role, or was the voice actor - including New Fist of the North Star (2003), Zeta Gundam: A New Translation (2005), and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (2006).

GHOST
GACKT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
そう呟くのは
今更遅すぎる神への冒涜
Get lost!!!
残酷な出来事が退屈を癒す
野蛮なとろける愛撫に悶えろ
目を見開いたまま溺れたいなら
You've got to find
the help of GOD
Untill we're allowed
to be free...
突き刺さるプラグに悶え
もっと手を伸ばして
激しく僕を癒しておくれ
I said we got no guaranty
散切れる躯を抱きしめ
もっと目を開いて
激しく壊れておくれ
Untill we're allowed
to be free...
突き刺さるプラグに悶え
もっと手を伸ばして
激しく僕を癒しておくれ
The lyrics of GACKT's song "GHOST" express a desire for freedom and release from the pain and suffering one experiences. The opening line "今すぐ...壊して..." ("Ima sugu... kowashite") means "break it now," which is a cry for a release from the oppression or confinement that the singer is facing, but is also seen as a blasphemy towards God that one is too late to realize. The line "Get lost!!!" is a command to someone, asking them to leave and no longer be a burden.
The next stanza describes how cruel events can alleviate boredom, and how even the most savage forms of affection can be pleasurable. The line "目を見開いたまま溺れたいなら" ("Me wo mihiraita mama oboretai nara") means "if you want to drown still looking straight ahead," which suggests that the singer is willing to continue experiencing pain and suffering. However, they still want to break free from their situation and command to "get lost out of my head."
Overall, the lyrics express a desire to be freed from pain and suffering, even if it means breakage and destruction. The singer's cry for freedom is met with the recognition of the power of cruel acts, but it does not diminish their wish for an escape.
