hehe It kinda sounds like Gackt is trying to hard lol but i still love it! I would like to meet Gackt in real life it would be a great honor if i ever got to! >.<
@Yumiko133 It sounds like that because the song was originally meant for Gakupo. Gakupo doesn't have to worry about silly things like breathing, so the one who made Paranoid Doll didn't have to be concerned with creating pauses where he could catch his breath. Gackt on the other hand does have to worry about breathing, and so you can hear him struggle to keep his voice strong throughout the song. He's really amazing that way. :3
I know some people comment how they think it's over the top with the vocals, but the songs/vocals were created by software by another person. I'm sure it's incredibly difficult for an artist to sing a song like this that is so fast paced and reaches so many moments where I know Gackt is carrying on notes with his last breathe... I think he did great, and nice to hear something new from him! <3 Now I gotta go buy this single~
[Someone welcomes Paranoid Doll] @. Gackmd That song is full of parts that you can not breathe, so I was extremely nervous. This is because usually you write a song with a lot of breaths in it, whereas a person to sing, but this was written without thinking that someone would sing. It's a song that is fun to listen, and painful to sing. Give it a try. (Gackt said this on twitter)
[Alguien le felicita por Paranoid Doll]@.gackmd Esa canción está llena de partes en las que no puedes respirar, así que estaba tremendamente nervioso. Se debe a que por lo general, escribes una canción con una gran cantidad de respiraciones en ella, considerando que una persona la cantara, pero esta fue escrita sin pensar que alguien la cantaría. Es una canción que es divertida de escuchar, y dolorosa de cantar. Denle una oportunidad. (esto dijo Gackt en twitter)
@werewolf1grl12 There was a competition on NND for Gakupo songs and Gackt said he would sing the winning song. Or something. But I think actually the other one was the winning song and he just did this one also. For funzies.
I was really looking forward to this but I'm not really sure how I feel. The backing in the original seemed to be more powerful and Gackt sings it kinda weird... Maybe it's just 'cause it's a low quality sample, but I feel this could've been a lot better :/
@aquatius5 I actually have the same feel because I was really looking forward to this one as well and I listen to the version of the guy who imitate his style. However, if anyone can imitate and predict his style, then he won't be the artist he is today. The version and style he sings in this official version is more unique and I believe he tries to sing it as he is the doll himself, thus the robotic and sharp voice in some parts. I think this is great once you get what he is trying to do.
@pochen23 I just think it's over-the-top. He holds his consonants too long and I feel he could've used his lower range better considering he has a really impressive range and manly sounding voice.
@aquatius5 I feel the same way. I think in Episode 0 he over did it in the end with the female voice as well. But that's just Gackt. I wish he stays consistent with his range of voice throughout his songs. I also think the original music is more powerful. It takes some time to get used to his altered version.
He is such a great singer... I mean wow... I still think this sounds good even if he's struggling.

Gackt version of Episode 0 is really impressive. It worths you to take a look.
I personally think it is a nice try, as panaroid doll is too difficult for anyone to sing.
