GACKT - Counting in different languages [English, Chinese, & Taiwanese]

[XamdaJoker]

Technically he's not counting, just reciting a chinese tongue twister.

[Kanarek90]

Eee... i don't get what's he talking about... ;P

[MissRetroPink]

Lol, I'd love to say something in Spanish to him. I just want to see him confused for a change lol

[TOUNBEISYUU]

只會一兩句而已。就跟我的日語程度一樣～！

少說也要有大口吃遍台灣主持人，阿松的程度才行吧～！

[DJLion826]

WOAH his chinese pronunciation is really accurate for a Japanese person 8D

[TheRivalConcept]

to me him counting in taiwanese sounded like one big tounge twister lo

[Bindilovervideo]

Saying numbers LIKE A BOSS.

[KziraLee]

He must really love the number "4" xD

[irakorea]

[Ahornsirup1]

I want to have Gackt as my maths teacher =D And Taiwan, Chinese and English teacher >o<

[MastaKadaj]

lol, that is a really difficult tongue twister. It's supposed to help with pronunciation, but it just messes me up.

Perfect description of the Taiwanese accent, though. (It's not a different language, though, Mr. Uploader, lol)

[titojwonnie]

PERFECT!! @:

[OokiHana801]

Wah he is so dreamyyy @_@

[l1meyman]

he is really charming,... GAH!! After all these years I STILL have crush on him!!

[OperaGhostess]

Gackt has become a lot more open and smiley over the years. And his English is becoming far better. <3 Gackt

Cheers,

Angelus

[marcadominik]

[inkdragon155]

AAAWW

It just feels so familliar when he speaks English.

[TheCrow8221]

I laughed so hard at the last part it sounded like he was studdering lol

[TsukiLuna]

Gackt is so awesome and brilliant! XD Just amazes me what he can do. I have hard enough time just learning one other langurage. And sad thing is my native langurage I have trobles as well.

[yellowrox12]

[takineko]

[silversup2]

His chinese is sexy

[heyjeySigma]

Gackt you TROLL!! lol

[XReikuXChanX]

44 is 44 XD

[BabyFish12316]

So many 4s...

[victastic92]

That's not Taiwanese, that's still mandarin.

[boojaeah]

@victastic92 taiwan people have different accent from china people. he seem to be showing the difference in the accent and pronunciation.

[BlAznNinjaKid]

sexy teeth!

[Mana667]

haha! ^^ i still love him ! ^^

[GaialeiStrife]

LOL no matter how many times I see this video, when he says "44 is 44" I just start cracking up!! It's just so surreal!!!

[FruitLoopFan]

OMG.

His accent changes when he speaks english! That's surprising, and sexy. >w<

[yuatyilee]

So cute!

[niemabuggy]

i was staring at his adam's apple when he was saying it in Taiwanese. that's the only way i knew that he was saying it differently because that tongue twister sounds the exact same, i cannot hear the difference ; ; (in taiwanese).

[Boboua]

@niemabuggy It's the same tongue twister but the pronunciation of taiwanese people and mainland china people is different.

[lucaria44]

i think im the only one that was stareing at his lips the whole video

[mabudachishigure]

they made us do that Chinese tongue twister back in elementary school haha...

[Amika2909]

can u say 'hot'?......HOOOTTTT LOL jst luv him

[soaringaegis]

Haha, it's a famous Chinese tongue twister. XD

[22helpless]

Gackt seems like a nice person.

[Icepeach100]

please, lern Norwegian and then call my mom. she's younger then you O.O

[Aranur]

his english is wonderful. can't wait to see bunraku.

[ManaXAtemu]

I like the last one "zuzuzu zuzuzu..." or something :D

[MySnowWitch]

@ManaXAtemu

no, it is : four thousand four hundred and forty-four, in chinese

[kazetsuki]

he can speak chinese~!!!!! XDDDDDD



[StuckInMurderCity]

I think his point is that English is too complex. XD

[IHeartBrattyPets1212]

He likes 4s. 8D

[Futurestarra]

I have to be obsessed if I love hearing him count~

Taiwanese sounds so funny XD

[neur0515]

I hate tongue twisters. Saying it with a Taiwanese accent is so much easier - you don't get twisted up with the hard 'sh' sounds....

[grimmjowkitty6]

Gackt... is amazing. end of story haha

[AlyIsaIni]

The only way I can like numbers and math is if Gackt counts now.

[Lambpika]

isn't four in Chinese make the same sound as die? .......

[neur0515]

@Lambpika - almost. They sound similar (which is why 4 is unlucky), but have different tones.

[Yumiko0202]

xDDDDD

He's sooo cute <3

[emyhutto]

i love that he does his english with a specifically chinese accent!!!!!

[londonliri]

well i'm amazed how good he counts in english. i think its not a big deal, he said once he wants a woman who can talk english, chinese, french or at least two of these. Well if he has so much expectations from a woman, i say he would be a f..ing great guy if he could counted to ten in hungarian, once he does it, then i say he is somebody.

[DarkPhoenixRising]

@londonliri Imagine that but there ARE actually some women who speak French, English and some other languages. You need to think about the fact that he travels a lot, so I can totally understand that he wants a girlfriend that doesn't depend on him or others translating everything. Imagine he's in China, she's with him, he has to work, she goes out, gets lost, doesn't speak the language and can't communicate. What's she supposed to do? Call him and annoy him? I don't think so.

[KleptoCosplayer]

44 is 44?! D: I think I failed my math test...

XD

[AgitoFang]

LOLOL i love how he compares the chinese to taiwanese accents. Us Taiwanese dont really curl our tongues to pronounce the words correctly XD;

[kurofai1235]

I couldn't stop laughing, omg

[guitarrocker1]

i don't think it's that gackt is getting good at english, he already knows english, being fluent just means you understand and know how to speak the language

[KagamineRinxLen02]

14 is 14 XD Gackt is so smart! <3

[Born2Rock1987]

its all kinda sss-ss-sss-ss-sss too complicated for me actually.......Id rather learn more japanese

[Sihaya8]

Lol, never seen this before - sooo funny! Thanks ^^

[ZeroC0ol1989]

I miss taiwan T_T

[ShiKuBlaite]

AHAHAHAHHA! That really made me laugh. But what GACKT said is true, hahaha.

[SilentLove]

Haha sooooo cute.

[yapcaiyun1997]

wow .. hes good at english and chinese.. i think he even speaks chinese better than me :D

[jaimeexd]

no offence I like gackt and stuff, but his lips look like they were punched.

[metroid5454]

@jaimeexd lips injection !

[PhantomMana]

@metroid5454

lmao, I think his lips are just naturally plump .. ;)

haha jus keen. :P

[ati503]

OHHH MYY GODDDDDD I think I gasmn'd when he started to count in English. The way he said 44 made me think..wait what race is he again XD he is soo Kawaii

[SvdB1992]

talk about tongtwisters!!!!

[VinNAsukA]

is it just me or his teeth or maybe lip looks a bit weird in this vid

[iliketheshiny23]

He's so cute! <3

[Helen200820]

omg,gackt is excellent.

cant believe my eyes,her chinese is very well,and he can pronounce retroflex consonant of chinese very vell.better than me,lol

说中文太好了，翘舌跟平舌都能区分，强

[ShadowyChan2]

1 dislikes! Who can dislike this? Isn't it inspiring? I know 2 languages, whenever I hear him talking in other languages than Japanese I'm inspired to try learning more.

[stingentsun]

that's is totally true about taiwanese-chinese XDDDD i speak like that too (>///<)

[TheGacktfanatic]

I been wanting to hear him speak english ever since I became a fan of his thank you for this Renci!!!!!

[trimpirim]

his english is like O_O if I had no idea he's japanese I would say he's american! *_*

[phililen3]

he says 44 like he is American!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DarkDragonX1989]

@phililen3 he's getting pretty good on his english :) i just hope he'll come down to the U.S. He did a short but sweet Euro tour last year for YFC. Us Dears in the U.S. need to reach out to him more. At least Miyavi and XJapan came down, so hopefully it'll do a ripple effect you know? The closest we got was SKIN and I missed out on that, considering im in CT >.<

[HaRm0ni0usDiSc0rD]

@phililen3 xD You have 44 likes as well. And yes, I think we can all agree on Gackt's pwndom.

[harumatsu]

@phililen3 Yes, I noticed a bit of an american accent... I think it's easier for a japanese speaker say "forifor"

[xkonayukix]

I've never seen this one before, thank you for sharing ~

[indrepileckaite1]

sounds realy funny ;D

[thomanatter]

XD Hearing him speak that well and then comparing it to the way he spoke at the Bunraku Presentation. *lol* He was really nervous to the chores.

By the way: Can somebody tell me when this video was made?

[gacktology]

@thomanatter 2007

[thomanatter]

@gacktology Thank you! ^___^

[RenciKun]

@thomanatter It was made in 2007 :]

[thomanatter]

@RenciKun Wow, even a second response. XD Thanx!

[RenciKun]

@thomanatter Haha, sorry. I didn't see your reply before I posted mine.

[DarkPhoenixRising]

@thomanatter That's so normal. It always happens to me, too, when I have to speak in front of a whole class at college or during a test. It just sucks. :(

[thomanatter]

@DarkPhoenixRising *lol* Yeah. I don't have problems with speaking infront of many people, but it's a problem, when I sing. I love singing and people seem to like to listen. If it's a little group and I can act as if I'm just singing for myself, then it's no problem, but if it's a real solo performance, maybe even on a stage, then it gets hard to sing and it either hurts or my voice shakes. At times I'm lucky and get into the song that much, that I forget that I'm nervous. ^.^*

[jingie]

love this clip!! He has a pretty good english accent! :D

I totally know what he means by the chinese and taiwanese pronunciation. Haahaha

[ChaqwaSpoofYOU]

Waah, him speaking english is adourable!

And it's interesting how the other languages count and then him doing the counting is too cute. Thnk you!
