  • Hey I see you like K-Love! Me too, I listen to it a lot and its a blessing!

    I'm a Christian singer songwriter myself and I was wondering if you could tell me what you think of my songs. Thanks and God bless you!

    Roch

  • I think he did an EXCELLENT job with this, understanding how the Japanese phrasing of lyrics aren't the same as English phrasing. And remember, this was was written in Japanese, so transcribing it into English, and doing it in a manner that it actually FITS the melody without losing the lyrics' meaning....that's hard to do. So, really, he did and EXCELLENT job with this! AND made it sound just a GREAT as the Japanese version.

  • Gawd. He's so cute!

    I love this song <333

  • Compared to his other songs he's sung in english or the bits he says here and there, I think this is really good. *is happy*

  • His singing is lackluster here and not as good as on CD. My guess the language thing, in the studio he can stop and start again. Having said that he's usually spot on when singing live compared to his recording. His english is very good from what I've heard of it and extremely understandable.

  • can stop and star again*

    I do not agree with you, but for him to sing in english isn't so easy because his japanese are kinda "fast" but english can't be sang very fast for non-english speaker, and mostly for asians..

  • yea.. I do agree this english is quite good compared to lots of other Japanese. ((: Great music!

  • I love this song. ^o^ He sounds really good in english, I think. ...I've heard him speak in english, and really, his accent's not that strong. I think it's just harder to sing in a different language than talking in it.

    Yet again, amazing. ^-^ thanks for posting this!! *favs* Gackt's so awesome, his voice gives me chills.

  • What concert is this?

  • i'm with all those ppl who say don't judge him its like speaking japanese with an english accent its hard! and gackt is soooo awesome and hot/cute!!!

  • Gackt is pretty good at English actually. The only reason it sounds weird when he's speaking or singing in English is because of the accent...so to us that have English as the main language...it would sound weird. Sort of like if any of us go to Japan and speak Japanese...we do have the possibility of being made fun of as well for our Japanese. So don't hate on his English. ^_^

    I absolutely <3 this song...but to be honest...I like the original Japanese better.

  • are you kidding, it doesn't sound weird xD His english is sexy, I want that accent too, then i can speak it at school =D

  • lol and be a sexy japanese man at school too? lol awesome

  • Not fair to judge his English is not good. For me his english prononciation is pretty good compare with average japanese singers. And you can' avoid them to not put their mother language's accent when they speak other language.

    Except you are born in the country where use English is the main language.

    Gackt is pretty good in English and Mandarin even French. I am half Thai-chinese but I can't speak even a little chinese compare with him.

  • Wow, he speaks great English for someone who just picked it up =D

  • wow... just made the entire room hate you lol

  • Dude that's pretty good english...

    ._.

    Sounds more like he's trying to get the words right rather than sing though. XD

    Thats good.

  • learning another language is probably one of the hardest things ever so I give Gackt lots of credit for singing even though it's kinda rusty it's stil pretty good for someone not knowing English every well

  • Is it me, or is Gackt-sama's voice quivering a little in the beginning? Maybe it's the mike, i don't know...*sniffles* Soooo pretty...makes me not want to be single anymore...*enjoys and eats popcorn*

  • hehe, that's just the way he sings, it's vibrato... He does it all the time!

  • "Save your smile for me!" ... Gackt's english is awesome. Gackt is awesome. Nothing more to it... Awesome...

  • Aww, how cute ^^

  • Gackt is Amazing ^^

  • engrish+gackt=sexyness!!!

  • YAAAAY!!!! he's so sexy whatever language he's singing

  • He is speaking english lol...

  • i know i meant whatever language he sings lol

  • YAYYY INGRISHIIII!!!!

  • ihope gackt wasnt one of my victims.. i love him

  • omg im melting!!!!!! he is amazing.. i wanan cry.. its very emotional to see somethign so purely magnificent

  • Actually he is very fluent with English.

    Like he is very fluent with Franch, Korean and Cantonese.

  • he is learning mandarin but he is not fluent YET and he said he learned french but he said that he only remember how to pick up the ladies in french XD. but he is fluent in korean and english.+ japanese of course

  • and chinese and others too

  • Gackt is no doubt a living legend.

  • Wow.. He sang it better here than he did on the actual song!! ^^

  • say what, damn his english is good!

  • I'm really impressed with Gackt's English skills~ he's so awesome^^

  • oh my gosh this just shows how much more awesome Gackt is! ~Gackt sing me a song please~

  • It can be clearly seen from his face that he's concentrated on remembering the lyrics. His feelings weren't depicted as much as it would have been if he sang the song in his own native tongue.

    GO GACKT!!!! YOU ROCK!!! (I love You-san!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

  • It's a possibility.

    Maybe it was just the pronunciations.

    Hence the fact he's gotten close to fluent in english.

  • Personally, I'm impressed by this song; judging from the lyrics, it's pretty advanced English for someone who doesn't speak it as their first language. : ) Gackt did a great job! I also like the breathy way he sings English, it sounds so beautiful.

  • I think when Gackt speaks english he is really good but when he sings it, it isn't as good. Like with Hyde his speaking english isn't that great but when he sings english it is better. lol

  • I agree with that. Hyde's english when he's singing is unmatched, When I first heard shallow sleep in in english I thought he was a new artist here in America, I didn't know he was japenese at first.

  • I think that this is pretty good, since he normally never does anything like this before that I really know of (I don't think silent night really counts -_- but thats me). But I do have to say the lyrics are kind of strange, but that probably the best you can translate a song to another language, keeping the composition as well as the meaning of the song

  • I didn't think the translation was bad at all. The only lyric that really caught my attention as being off was "views of my eyes." Although if an English speaking person put something like that in a song, they'd be considered poetic instead of having bad grammar. :P

  • There's absolutely nothing wrong with "views of my eyes". It's merely implying that Gackt see's various views through his eyes. Yeah, poetic..lol ^_^

  • lol, thats sounds funny.

  • I think his voice slips into vibrato when he's not putting power behind it and the vibrato made some of the words hard to understand but the chours I actually didn't need the subs for I was like YAY gackt can sing english... but as much as I love his voice the vibrato makes it hard to understand him... it makes it really pretty sounding jiberish.. but that's how everyone who uses vibrato sounds to me *hides under umbrella to deter the fangirls who will throw food and small refridgerators*

  • Love Gackt and this song. He sings pretty well in English!!!

  • I agree that the chorus was very nice. The song itself is....CUTE!

    Gackt sounds good EVEN in english :D

  • Actually, for a japanese, his English is pretty polished..though he mumbles, but still a thumbs up.

  • Gackt is amazing!

    I wanna hear the Korean Version of this song!

    But were Wold Gackt be without Ju-kun and You!

    I love those two!

    The Violinist and the Basisist

  • i still prefer the chinese version...

  • his english was a little shaken @ first but the chorus was awesome! he should sing more english songs!

  • SEX on legs he is...

  • haha hell yeah!

  • Hahaha!! The best comment ever ^^

    I TOTALLY AGREE!

  • yup yup yup

  • At first I couldn't tell it was even in English! lol! But I found myself really enjoying this! I think the main chorus versus were song very clearly and it was nice hearing this song sung a different way. Thank you for posting this.^_^

  • This song really made me cry. It's so beautiful & Gackt's voice always gives me goose bumps. His english is awesome :)

  • Awsome. Gact has a great voice :)

  • I still find myself going KYAAAAA!!!!!

  • i tahnk you so much for this!!!! please dont erase it..^.^;;;

  • this is just proof of an already obvious fact, Gackt can do anything.. this is amazing

  • His singing in english interferes with his usually great phrasing. What a pity ^_^

  • i know, when he speaks english, he has awesome pronunciation!

  • aw, I beg to differ...

    I love him with me guts, I promise, but he must stick to japanese. There is no need in any aspect for him to master the engish language other than a personal interest, maybe.

  • he does have personal interest, though, and i mean, the madagascar video where he says "so, tell me how to say "hi" in madagascar" was pretty well pronounced i thought. I just loves learning, and he's good at it (a bit too good, sometimes)

  • true! I was pleasantly surprised by that video too=D

  • I really hope he sings this song at the SKIN concert.

  • I am totally loving this video!! I Got to Find a place where I Can get his coat, it is really nice.

    *Claps* Keep up with the brilliant music Gackt!!

  • I LOVE IT! Where can I download this song??

    Gackt <3<3<3

  • Does anyone know how to pronounce Camui?

  • KA-moo-ee, I believe.

  • Thankyou XD

  • What a sweety! I love his accent, its adorable! And oh, i love his voice in english! ^__^

  • This song is really good in english and i like this veriton better for some resaon ^__^ Maby because I understand it better offcorse O__o'

    And for med the subb is almost unnecisary <333

  • Lyrics can be lost in traslation but the music will stay the same. ^^

  • I like it. but I like it better in Japanese..

  • I LOVE it when he speaks in English...he is SO adorable. His English isn't bad, but yeah, the subtitles definitely help.

  • at first i wasn't feeling this video but then I was like, OMG, i love him

  • has anyone here tried to perform this with proper english?

    I'd love to see how it turns out!

    It's such a wonderously sweet song.

  • His english is proper...He just has an accent is all..he speaks english very well,he knows how to pronouce the words but his accent shows through that..I love it...you can see the passion in him,unlike when he sinsg in korean or anything else..i think with english he can express his feelings much more

  • I like this song in English for some reason. o-o

  • His accent is so cute when he speaks English!! And I have to give him props on his hair. ^-^

  • i know amazing right?!

  • how this song called??

  • 'December Love'... like it says 14 seconds in. ^^;;

  • thanks

  • I love this song!!!! and his hair love it!!! He's not that bad in english he could work on it but it's not a bad start!!^^

  • His english is a little choppy, but gawd he's so sexy!!!

    btw-he's hair is so KAWAII! It's all rumpled/curly!!

  • i agree

  • does anyone know if this is a direct translation of the mandarin version? i dont know about "hao xiang hao xiang ni"...

  • the verses are sketch but man when he hits that chorus its right on and you can understand perfectly what hes saying. Go Gaku-san!!!

  • erm... u can hardly understand if there's no subtitles.. but his voice and power... he's still so cool... he can carry this song! Go Gackt! :D See REDEMPTION :D

  • He sings in english okay, but darling, Gackt...stick to Japanese.

  • This is a beautiful song, and he still did an amazing job making that song come to life. Who cares about his thick accent XD

  • for someone that is definitely not a native speaker of english, and that the song is gramatically incorrect at times, his sheer talent and force of presense makes up for the deficit, no?

  • I agree let's give poor Gackt-sama a break for someone who doesn't do english songs he did really well. I loved it.

  • Ok, I think we all agree on the errors XD. Let's give poor Gackt a break, he does his best and I think we should give him credit for that ;)

    I love all versions, this one was the first I listened to and instantly fell in love with it :x

    Hmmm, the band members sure are yummy.... =P~

  • lol every error he makes in his music in english, to me, makes it better. he hardly ever makes mistakes and if your a fan, you'll know he hates making them as well.... songs like this remind me he's human =P

  • *pout* He has so much trouble keeping in time with the music when he sings in english. If there was no music, he might have sounded justa bit better. And that lisp that he seems to have when he sings in english doesn't help. It's worse than just a thick accent.

  • er.. it's grammatically incorrect to say "even although" but it's Gackt, so we love it ^^

    I always just watch this to laugh at his bad Engrish... but oh my, Chacha and You-san look wonderful!

    and Gackt does as well, that doesn't need to be said ^^

  • As incorrect as it is, I think the only reason why he put it there was for rhythm. just my theory though.  And yesh, Chacha-san and You-san looked as great as ever.

  • You-samaaa!! OMG I love this video.. but I prefer in Japanese, the english sucks.. jaja Gackt doesn't have a good pronounciation xD

  • i like it in english i can understand it if u can please make more

  • It seems a little rushed, his singing.

    But I love it.

  • I thought so too, especially at the beginning. But I love you anyway, Gackt! :o)

  • isn't there a gramatical error?

    even although is redundant...

    sounds great but that part just makes it a little awkward

  • I love him so much!!! ^^

  • This reminds me of my Grandpa! He just passed away <3

  • Oh and he sings korean not japanese :)

  • AFAIK, he only ever sings one song in Korean... Otherwise, yeah, Japanese. :|

  • Korean? >> Gackt-sama? Er...no. (of course I just saw this on the front page...gomen ne) He does sing in Manderin and several other languages for this song. And his speaking english is a lot better. XD

  • He doesnt talk english fluintly "how ever you spell it" lol but hikaru utada does..thats what i mean by hes learning to speak english well...i think so he can sing for us americans :D

  • Lill Gackt. Nice try, but u are much better in Japanese! ^^'

  • omg i love it :D thank you sooooo much for putting it on here this is actually one of my favorite Gackt songs, :D

  • which band is this???? and how can i find this dong???

  • Gackt

  • looks like to me hes practiceing for when he comes to te usa "singing in english and all" cause what sence would it be singing in english to people "most of them" who dont understand english

  • He's a real singer and he prove that live

  • That's so horrible it's adorable!! Without the subtitles I cant tell the difference betwen Japanese and English! X333 I love that guy...

  • me neither lol:L but it a cool song...

  • I can understand some words ,but did you hear how he said always ????

  • gackt is just great ^^ im glad this video has subs, i have the mp3 but thanks to this video i got to understand the song (and its feeling) better!

  • Sing from the pronunciation of the word in the country that came into existence in the language of other countries. For instance, it sings by pronouncing English. The Japanese majority is equal to the cantrip. Is it good?Problem of working. Meaning that sings English song in Japan. Maybe, sing to the people in the area in English. Tell the singing his work. It doesn't become a linguist.

  • Man... this guy is awesome.

  • he is such an amazing singer, his voice is so powerful!!

  • omfg. that is the cutest.

  • PLEASE SEND ME THIS VIDEO!!!! I shall be very pleased!

  • im love gackt...hes really inspiring

  • This song is really great ^.^ The japanese version is a little bit better than this, but it's still great :P haha

  • I Love This Song!! Its Soooo Awesome!! Does Anybody Know Where To Get An Mp3 of This Version? If So Please Tell Me Where I Can Get It!!

  • Yes gackt! All I can say..

  • Who cares if he has a thick accent? It's accomplishment enough that he's learned English. It's hard to learn a language. I think he does a great job.

  • awesome

    his english isnt bad its just his accent and yea there was sum parts that sounded like they were in japanese..but i dont even need the lyrics i can understand pretty much everything =D

    GO GACKT!

  • wow!! awesome engrish gackt! but i do like this song better in japanese but that's cuz japanese is like a million thimes cooler than english! so sugoi! thanx for sharing! XD

  • His english has seemed to get better then when I last listened to it about two years ago. He seems to have surpased the pillows in his english skills.

  • Wow, his English is really good. A thick accent, but that just makes him hotter ^.^

  • there are parts where I though he was speaking Japanese, but its good...he's a very creative person...

  • The way he's dressed reminds me of Rufus Shinra... the song was so beatiful. T.T

  • XDD FFVII.

  • LOL his english so bad. Damn, I thought he was singing in Japanese for a moment lol

  • lol xD yah... i thought he was too but its just his accent ;) his english really isnt that bad

  • Actually, he has VERY VERY good english. Search for "Gackt Speaking English." In fact, it sounds like he as a slight UK accent whenever he speaks English. x3

  • I don't think Gackt English is bad at all its actually pretty good. It just that with his accent it hard to understand him sometimes when he sings.

  • Satoru-san, why don't you go to america. onegai. just for a year or five. ^-^

  • Or forever. I hear forever's a (really nice) 'long time' for adults. (Got it of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I think.)

  • this video is great, but this song is just.. i can watch this all over again and again! ^__^

  • ^_____^ everytime I hear him sing or see him performing, I can't help but smile blissfully... <3 I would love to meet him. That would be a dream come true.

  • i love him and the songs great

  • There's a petition that people can sign so we can get Gackt to come to the U.S on tour^^ http://www.petitiononline.com/­106781/petition.html

  • I THINK HIS ENGLISH IS REALLY GOOD!AND HE LOOKS REALLY CUTE!

  • his english is preaty good seeing as it wasnt his native lanuage hes so kawaii when he sings or talks in english!! ...i also love the song silent night he sang in english

  • agreed. His english is pretty good.

    His silent Night song was good as well. He did really well in english.

    god, if only I could pick up japanese that quickly. T_T

  • Yeah I know I wish i could learn japanese that fast also ..i only know a few words ..but most i know are curse words or like calling someone "baka"

  • He knows Mandarin? Cool. We could have a conversation. Though i'd be boring considering the amount of it i know.

    Aw. Gackt's so Kawaii when speaking English ^_^. I need to learn Japanese so i can have a better conversation with him (the Manderin one wouldn't work, but i s'pose English would work too ...).

  • wow, i new he could speak english good but i wanst expecting it to be this good '_';; eh hes not just good with enlgish i heard he noes mandarin or however u spell it and soem other languages to XD

  • but there's a clip of him speaking english and he's pretty good.

  • dude, u have 2 give him credit, his english is WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY better than an ordinary japanese person! believe me, i've heard anime peeps speaking in english sumtimez and i was like wtf?

  • HIS ENGLISH IS ADORABLE i found this song a long time ago and i fell in love with it.. why is this not the full version??? i have a viedo using the full version of the song and i can understand it perfectly even without subtitles but it's an AMV i made, not a preformance

  • His english is a hell of a lot better then most of your japanese I bet :P

  • o0 sorry didn't mean to make you angry or something, >> i love his english too -.- his pronounciation is not as good as mine..~ aw

    and i'm still learning japanese oo i'm asian, living in germany.. and i think i will make it >.> [<< sry 4 all my english mistakes xD]

  • ah must correct myself: his english is not the best.. but its ok - my english is worse i think >>'.

    But.. if there were no subs I wouldn't understand much ><'

  • lol, i agree, i would have problems understanding without the subs. But his english is actually still pretty good compared to most. very kawaii though

  • ._. his english is terrible.. though its SUPERDUPERcute >>~

  • Isn't it ammusing that when someone hot can't pronounce english properly, it's "cute" but when someone ugly does it, "he should just stop trying, tool"

  • ......WTF?! No!! >.< 

  • OMG THATS SOOO FUCKING CUTE his english is adorable hes soooo sexy

  • wow, his english is so much better in this lovely song (especially compared to Feel the Fire - there its so bad it becomes good!)

  • he did a good job better than that other song feel the fire. he sounded super fobbish in that one this one was beautiful in english he should do a all english album. come to america!!!!!!!!!
