Gacktionary

Są to fragmenty z wydanej przez Gackto w 2009 roku, na dziesięciolecie kariery solowej, książki "Gacktionary 1999-2009". To co jest ważne: po pierwsze proszę nie zakładać, że ja lub generalnie wszyscy fani Gackto podzielają zawarte w tych tekstach poglądy. Tak nie jest. Są oczywiście rzeczy, z którymi można się zgadzać i z którymi można się nie zgadzać. Są to tylko i wyłącznie poglądy Gackto. Druga sprawa jest taka: są to tłumaczenia na angielski z języka japońskiego robione przez fanów - należy założyć, że nie są w 100 procentach bezbłędne, możliwe są w nich przeinaczenia treści, wynikające nie tyle z braków językowych tłumaczy, ale ze względu na nieprzekładalność pewnych japońskich pojęć na język angielski. Polecam bardziej wersję przetłumaczoną przez Excused-early, która jest rodowitą Japonką, co oczywiście też nie gwarantuje bezbłędności tekstu. Thanks to Excused-early and Camui Love. Thanks to Jeanette.
