Jihaku

Jihaku which translates to "Confession" is Gackt's autobiography. Yes, Gackt has an autobiography, you just can't get any more better than that, can you? Anywho~ Jihaku speaks about Gackt's life from when he was a child possibly to when he released the book in 2003 from his point of view. You can learn a lot more about Gackt that you probably never knew before like his first kiss and his trip to Madagascar, and you'll hear familiar things somewhat explained like the drowning accident he had when he was younger and the psychic powers he has always claimed to have. Everything that Gackt wants his fans to know about his life is in this book, and at My Dears you'll have a chance to read it.

The wonderful Gerald has allowed me to showcase his translations on this site for all of you to look at. Some things to note before reading though are that these are fan translations, these are in no way official translations. Also, please do not put these translations up on your site without Gerald's permission. That's all you need to remember. ^_^ Anyways, if you're ready to learn more about Gackt, read on ahead!
