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).

Future
Gackt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
水面のざわめきは風の歌
消せはしない過ちを繰り返す私達の
足跡を見つめていた
伸ばした指先に触れるアナタの涙が
いつかは訪れる
未来を紅く染めてゆく
ささやかな一時が
星に祈る私を壊れるほど抱きしめた
どれだけの哀しみを背負っても
いつの日か報われる日が来るから
止まらない歯車に
二人はただ引きずられ
気まぐれに過ぎてゆく
時の流れは早すぎて
もう戻れないのなら
アナタの手で殺してと
夜に叫ぶ私の瞳をただ見つめてた
鮮やかに散りながら
別れの歌捧げよう
眠りから覚めるとき
アナタの腕で目覚めたい
もう一度アナタに会えますようにと
星に祈る私を蒼い月は見つめてた
抱きしめて壊れるまで抱きしめて
The lyrics of GACKT's song "Future" talk about the present struggles of the singer and their constant mistakes that cannot be erased. They are looking at their footsteps while the blue moon shines brightly in the dark, and the rustle of the water on the surface is like the song of the wind. The tears of the person who touches the singer's outstretched fingers will someday come, progressively staining the future red. The singer is longing for their time together to last longer, praying to the stars to make that possible, while the arms of their loved one embrace them until they break apart.
Despite everything, the singer feels that someday the day they have been waiting for will come, the day they are rewarded no matter how much sorrow they carry. Living through life's unceasing gears, the two people are just being dragged along by time's whimsy. If they cannot turn back time anymore, the singer is yelling at night, asking their loved one to kill them with their hands while staring in their eyes. They sing a farewell song vividly as death comes and want to wake up in their loved one's arm once again, praying to the stars that they might meet again.
In this song, GACKT creates a beautiful imagery of two people trying to hold on to a fragile and fleeting moment in time. The vivid blue moon, gentle rustle of water, and the unforgiving flow of time result in a sense of longing and despair. The song's message is incredibly powerful, depicting the singer's desire to stay with their loved one despite the world's cruelty, and to hold on to that moment until it breaks.
