Ares⇒Asrun Dream Gackt Live

[geryfisherbg]

Artist to the core!!!!

[GothAngelUK]

I love it when he uses his counter-tenor voice, wish he'd go back to that for a song or two. I know he says he doesn't like signing high, but come on, a song or two isn't that much to ask for, is it??

[lionrence]

wow I was so happy to find a live of Ares...but sadly i think he his lipsyncing that part....

[SamJonesCSSM]

@lionrence It's hard to say, there seem to be some differences in the original. I've been watching this every now and again for the last few years and I still can't decide if it's lip-synced or not.

[SaottMForos]

@SamJonesCSSM I don't think it is, just because the beginning and ending sound just a bit different from the recording, and I'm pretty sure I hear the hiss of the "s" sounds in the microphone, and those aren't in the recording.

[romana4444]

look, someone was hanginh upside-down from the ceiling and accidentaly pressed the dislike button thinking it was the like button... xD

[SerenusISA]

I love that Gackt performs; and not just sings. I swear I'll be like that; watching him is like having the best teacher ever.

[xXQueenBooXx]

Such a beautiful song~ <3

[SeitanoShuuki]

Gackt just went from my number one favourite singer of all time to number zero, if that was even possible.

[filth69ify1]

what is a asrun?

[cafechijouji]

@filth69ify1 Idk if any replied to you yet,

This song was inspired by his favorite manga , "Banana Fish" and the main character real name is Aslan. If you sound it out it's it would spell asrun in Japanese.

[filth69ify1]

@cafechijouji thats cool. thankyou :)

[deathnoteroxify]

What language was he singing Ares in in this live? I kept thinking French for some reason...

[SerenusISA]

@deathnoteroxify Not Latin, not French; he is performing in the 'language of Nymphs' and the actual sounding lyrics are nearly impossible to find; hence why when I sang it, I was a bit off :(

[lightningzan13]

Hi. First of all, this is gorgeous. Of course. But does anyone know what he actually sings? None of the lyrics actually match up when I try looking them up :(

[cobs1130]

@lightningzan13

if you are referring to Ares, he sings them in various languages so that nobody knows

one of the language seem to be polish, as one of the fan pointed it out.

[lightningzan13]

@cobs1130

Thank you so much! But is it possible to find the actual lyrics anywhere? :(

[Davila1693]

@lightningzan13 I dont think so cuz I tried looking for them and I couldnt find them, well the ones that are sung anyway.

[Micidami]

@cobs1130 Actually, this is not polish language. I am Pole and I can actually hear only "posrana jaka" which means ... "fucked up she is" (strange, isn't it? but actually there is no literal translation, but you got the idea).

[ShadowsDontFollowMe]

I keep being amazed by his voice. He is, if not the best, one of the greatest singers of all time!!!!

[shitichii]

This song makes me wanna cry sometimes. Banana Fish was unbelievable ;_;

[Joy54]

Gackt & Banana Fish! Great match!

[thisdeepwell]

What a mind-blowing performance.

[PhoenixKyuketsuki]

Pretty sure this is the live that's on the CD in the first gackt bible. I've always wondered what this song looked like! Thank you!

[SleepyFroggy]

@PhoenixKyuketsuki It is

[mari12012]

His dances are so funny xD <3

[tonfaedniya]

hoshit, I'm betting all teary while listening to this song and remebering about banana fish's ending. BAWL :'(

[LauraOrganaSolo]

I can't believe it's been 11 years (he was so skinny!). It's still such an awesome performance though. I think this live version really outdoes the album version.

[MsMarzable]

@LauraOrganaSolo I couldn't agree with you more. To me this is one of his best live songs! There's such energy to it. When I listen to the original version I still love it but this one gives me goosebumps!

[LauraOrganaSolo]

I can't believe it's been 11 years (he was so skinny!). This is still such an awesome performance though. I still prefer this live to the album version.

[dayna86]

His range is so amazing. Also, I don't know if it is the video quality but I couldn't see any strings--how did they create the illusion that he was flying? Really thin wires?

[Gackt43191]

LOVE IT

Gackt is Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gakchan]

oh! listening to this again that opening definitely sounds cirque du soleil-ish. imagine gackt in one of those shows....oh muh gah O.O

[Gakchan]

O.O whoa! I never saw the beginning to this. that opening was beautiful, especially all of those high notes *sigh.....*

[pAsIOnJM]

GAckT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TiEnEs uNa vOz HeRmOsa

[usanimegirl]

*Sighs* His singing at the beginning is simply beautiful. Makes me want to cry tears of joy I swear. :')

[serchan]

MY. HEART. SCREAMS! WUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!! Love the way he closes his eyes and sings with a smile at 2:28 to 2:33..

[SeniorSmurf1]

does he write his own songs... just curious (and only answer if you actualy know... dont be a fan boy/girl and say yes if its not true)

[SeriousItachi]

YES he writes them himself! :D

[SeniorSmurf1]

that good to hear :)

[AgitoFang]

he does write his own songs, but there were a couple of songs that he sang for the kamen rider movie that wasn't his own. But that's alright xD; everyone knew he didn't write it, but it still sounds great.

[TheAsrunDreams]

Best opening ever. Pure Gackt *o*

[moonsasuke]

gackt is a b.e.a.s.t.

Best Singer

Excellent Singer

Awesome Singer

Sexy Singer

Terrific Singer

[hydesgirl1]

His counter-tenor (higher pitched singing) voice is incredible...easily a good as any opera trained counter-tenor I've heard.

He has also such a deep voice in other songs... his overall vocal range in amazing.

I love him!

[square4869]

@hydesgirl1 compared with tenor I think soprano is more appropriate. the delicate voice at the opening is more like a woman's

[Kyo1Uroboros]

gackt is just amazing

i cant wait to see him as riderman

[GitarFreak185]

just bought this album, and it is one of his best... along with ares i especialy like oasis

[olored]

I love this man. Everything he produces is godly.

[RDissidia]

[Acian42]

Awesome, magnificent, brillant ! Gackt is a very good artist <3 !!!

[buranka00shira00]

IS...B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

[BichuUp]

I wonder if all the flashing lights hurts his eyes o_o

[kitarimoondiamond]

He had it done on purpose because he knows that anyone who looks into them gets caught in the trap of becoming....*duhn duhn duhhhhn*.....a fan girl!
