I was wishing last night that my favorite male Japanese singer, Gackt, and my favorite female Japanese singer, Ayumi Hamasaki, would do a duo. I didn't think that they'd actually done it... *fangirl scream* XD
This was so BEAUTIFUL! Too bad I didn't listen to this three days ago (when Christmas was) ah well. I've heard other voices that synchronise more better together than this, but I still liked it :)
I think they both have unique voices that it makes them match together but that is my opinion I know a lot of people like Namie's version but I like Ayu's version ^_^
@Kakica1 Hum it's the most stupind thing ever said. Gacky is a pop-rock singer actually, and Ayu is the most bluesy and rock of all the pop singers in the world.
Lol, you guys say that japanese music is so "special".. yay, but this song isn't traditional japanese song, it's western style.. japanese likes to copy ideas of others and perfect them. This song is good, but it't isn't japanese-style.
Their voices don't compliment each other at all. Ayumi's actually hurts my ears. And get a hold of yourself. The Japanese are not all perfect. Perfection is an illusion made by covergirl to get you to buy lipgloss.
This pairing is better then Gackt and Namie Amuro. They just didn't work very well sound wise. Though not amazing, I still love them both individually :)
For me as a fan of both of them it is so comfortable to see them singin sooooo beautifull and pure. I would feel uncomrtable if they made a flirting version like the western musicians would do lol. ("sex sells" :( At least real music sells better) So I really appreciate this. This is just music. And art. And no disturbing fan girlscreams, thats good for both, listeners and artists. Otherwise they would probably become as arrogant, disrespected and pissed of of their fans like miley c.
This one is the more peaceful type, the one with Namie has a little bit of pop, and her voice isn't really as high pitched as Ayumi, so i like that one better
Well, the Japanese have their own problems that never show in their entertainment. I lived there once. XD
But yes, I appreciate most of their music more than America, though "sex sells" is true for many things there, including Hamasaki Ayumi-san herself. >.>;;;
And it's been a general rule that you don't talk or clap or scream until it's over. ^^
And they are celebrities, so they will look good, regardless. Though I can't deny that the Japanese have a good diet that keeps health and weight. ^^
@PLSS hahaha lol then you must be pretty stupid to notice how his real character is. There are million proves like his book or movie or interviews, song lyrics and pvs or his new band YFC. Besides this I talked with a staff man from him (I live in Japan) We talked a lot about Gackt and he was 24 hours a day with him and he confirmed everything I said. In fact he finds Gackt is even more a deeper person then he expected.
He is a real artist who wants to chnge the world with art.
@Lara1717171717 So is Lady Gaga, but she still uses sex to sell her work. And so does Gackt :) Look at the PVs he did for Malice Mizer, especially Illuminati. Look at what he does on stage, like in the infamous Vanilla vid. Look at the lyrics to most of his songs. Regardless of who he is off-stage, he still uses sex to sell music. And it works. There's nothing wrong with it, and since you can't do anything but insult people in an argument I guess you know you're in denial too :)
They sound absolutely wonderful together. I am not necessarily a fan of Ayumi Hamasaki, but I do enjoy hearing her sing with Gackt in this song and a few others. Gackt is amazing whether he uses "sex" or not in his videos. I don't think he has to. He is talented in so many ways. So this music video proves it, among others, that just because in some of his vids he may get a bit carried away and whatnot, he doesn't have to use "sex" appeal.
too bad!! thought they'd be good together but their voices are nothing alike. they'd make a nice couple though. but what's with the coldness, 4 god's sake you're singing together guys a little eye contact wouldn't hurt!!
P.S. Gackt's cool but Ayu is just sooooooo much better. i really prefer her sound.
GACKT: (just sing, don't even look at her, no need.)
AYU: (Kick the high notes, Gackt's here, gotta look good, sound good!)
GACKT: (. . . ? Huh?)
Felt something like that. Like Gackt just wants it to end already. Like he was busy thinking of something else. Their voice doesn't sync at all! And the stage feels like it wants to devour Gackt alone.
Something like that... No offense to Ayu tho'. Take my advice and stick with solos. It's like mixing water with fire, singing with Gackt like that.
I think its becase Ayu has a stronger more powerful voice thn Gackt, so that soesn't mi very well. Also, Namie has a smoother, gentler voice so it blends better with Gackt, cuz they're both kinda quiet. Ayu is just such a strong singer that she just overshadows anyone on stage with her XD <3
I also think that Ayu has more of a stage presence than Gackt, so I think maybe he was a little bit intimidated by THE QUEEN!~ LOL XD
Ayumi has a much stronger, more powerful voice than Gackt? Hahaha~ don't make me laugh. If there's a voice with immense power it's only Gackt's. And Ayumi doesn't have more stage presence, she simply fed off of what's left by Gackt's. If there's a queen I'd rather give the name to Hikaru or RIKKI. And trust me, I don't think there's anyone who can intimidate Camui M.S. Gackt. Remember his name, it's a name that can NEVER be overshadowed by ANYONE. The Endo~
@NamelessBeing I think they just shy together. You should watch the whole show. That was a special Chiristmas with Ayu and Gackt in 90 minutes. After singing, they had couple talk together and that was super cute. I think they became friends after that, because Ayu called Gackt ""Gakkchin"" in this show and until now everytime meet Gackt she still calls him like that ^^
I felt like Gackt wasn't giving his all in this. Ayumi is totally overshadowing him.. *sighs* and gackt looks so tense! but they still look good together :)
I think its hilarious how they're obviously trying to compete with each toher.
Ayumi's voice is really strong but kinda screechy. XD' But she's really pretty as usual of course, perfect make-up :3
Singing-wise, this was obviously better, but probably only because neither of them were trying to shuffle around each while blushing. xD GacktxNamie are cuter, imo.
It's like when you mash two great things together (i'm not really a fan of ayumi but..) and all you get is a hott mess. they're better off solo. Ayumi's voice is too high and Gackt's is too low ha ha.
my God.... GACKT's voice turns me on *p* you can't thumb me down for my honesty here!!! he is so perfect!!

I agree here. Also, I think that Ayu has a better solo-voice...and overpowers the other person when doing duets...
Namie works really well with both solo and duet, and sings in an octave lower to Ayu so she doesn't have notes that are too sharp.
IMO, they're both respectable artists, but my heart lies with Namie. [Partly because she has brilliant hair... XD]
