Sorry if anyone following the blog got the draft version of this in their email; I was sleepy and accidentally hit "Publish" instead of "Save Draft." ^o^; That version hadn't been edited for clarity, and was missing the last two pages of this chapter. I wanted to hurry up and finish but things kept popping …

The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 9
Happy Birthday to GACKT, the United States, and Steve Rogers! Is everyone enjoying the party? Anyway, this part turned out to be surprisingly short at just four pages for two days' worth of shows. The venue name may seem familiar if you recall the Hokkaido show in Part 5. Interestingly there were several of these …
The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 6
So I signed in several weeks ago thinking I'd bust out this one stop right quick, when I happened to see on my WordPress dashboard that one of the search engine terms that led someone here was "air moon gackt english pdf." That was a bit troubling. As is written in the "Request" in the …
The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 4
It's Memorial Day weekend! While I physically did not go anywhere (unless you count repeatedly walking up and down the Detroit International Riverfront), I did take a break from all my usual duties. But enough about me. This post covers two stops, one in Sendai and one in Gunma. First-time visitors are encouraged to start …

The Air Moon Ch. 2: Live House Tour, Part 3
I can't believe I'm more than halfway through this chapter. Whew! Anyway, this post will cover the 2002 live house stops in Nagoya, Aomori, and Sapporo. You can access all sections of the book (that I've translated so far) from the Table of Contents page, if you haven't read the beginning yet. All the World …

2002 Gackt Live House Tour Stops & Set List
I feel like I'm making pretty good progress with this. I'm about a third of the way through the next part of the Live House Tour chapter (expect it in the coming week) and one-sixth of the way through the whole book. Woo-hoo! Anyway, I've found myself looking back and forth between what I'm translating …

The Air Moon Ch. 2: Live House Tour, Pt. 2
This post picks up where the previous one left off in the retelling of the 2002 live house tour, continuing on to the stops in Hiroshima, Osaka, and Tokyo. If you have yet to read the earlier portions, please go to the Table of Contents. I must confess that I'm translating reading only about 5 …
The Air Moon Ch. 2: Live House Tour, Pt. 1
If you haven't read Chapter 1 yet, you can find it here. Chapter 2 is fairly long at 70+ pages. The book splits the chapter contents by date, but as that would create too many short posts, I've decided to instead create several parts that each cover two or three dates. This part will cover …
