Gackt Live Tour 2005: Diabolos - Aien no Shi to Seiya no Namida (2006 Video) User Reviews

Spectacular!

[hollystahl1 · 10/10 · 10 June 2006]

This concert is, by far, the best Gackt has done yet. Costumes, props, design, lighting, stage set-up... It's INTENSE and very cathartic to watch. It's giving me chills just thinking about it. If you have never seen one of his concerts, THIS IS THE ONE TO SEE. Not only is it impressive seeing him pour his heart out at a live, it's the first I have ever seen the main act race a horse at full tilt around the entire arena! Charging into a symbolic (which is also part of the story) battle, nostrils flaring, red leather coattails flying behind, it is intense! Then, when GacktJOB come up from behind, swords held high in pride and strength, I can see why a casting director for a period piece sought Gackt to play a warlord leader after this show.

Awesome

This video is a must. I've been a Gackt fan since back when he was in Malice Mizer and well this DVD is a must have. I'm really amazed with all his LIVE performance DVD's but this one being an amazing 3 hours long just blew me away. i highly recommend buying this DVD. Gackt is a kick ass singer and somewhat emotional and heart touching with his certain songs. but hey that just me lol... Gackt is also featured in a lot of Japanese television shows weekly and high percent of the time sings a one of his latest songs on the show. Utaban & Hey Hey Hey are a few of the shows he appears on. my equivalent perception is he is like the Rolling Stones here in the USA but Gackt in Japan. if you get my drift. i hope you decide to check out the DVD his performance its totally outstanding.

Christmas in Heaven

This is one of the finest concert DVDs available. Gackt and his Christmas Eve lives are legendary and this one doesn't disappoint. From the dramatic entrance on horseback, to the wild frenzied dancing, to the comedic 'fan service' half time film, to the beautiful Gackt floating high above the Tokyo Dome draped in white like an Angel - every moment will have you transfixed and mesmerized. The first half tells the story of the darker side of the human heart. The second half is all fun and games with Gackt and the audience. Gackt truly loves his fans and you can see that coming through in everything he does. Get this DVD - you will LOVE it! Nothing satisfies like seeing Gackt in a cat outfit! 10 out of 10!

Most amazing concert I've ever seen!

I've always watched Gackt's concerts with awe and fascination; the music; the performance; the dancing; the stage effects; the sheer presence of Gackt himself... It's true that he outdoes himself with each concert, each one special and brilliant in their own right. However, Diabolos Tour just combines it all for me. A complete Gackt experience, even my own non-Gackt-interested father enjoyed it! The power, effort and emotion that goes into his concerts are amazing (Not forgetting Gackt's quirky sense of humour for his half time shows!), and the performance speaks for itself. EVERY SHOULD WATCH IT AT LEAST ONCE!!

The best of the best

This is by far, the most amazing concert I've ever seen. The costumes, the effects and the intro will just leave you in awe. The part when he goes around with his horse and then explodes into Dybbuk is just spectacular. At half-time, Gackt proves us very nicely that he's one of the singer who care most for his fans when he gives to a girl on the stage a guitar and some pretty nice autographed stuff from the band. The gal is so hysterical that she asks him about a hug and he gives it to him. It was so nice seeing this. Even though I don't understand Japanese, I know it must have been the coolest experience when he's speaking to the crowd in the middle of the show. And his songs... ! An excellent performer who doesn't destroy his songs by performing them live, unlike some mainstream and very popular singers from here. Everything's well arranged and Gackt knows his stuff. The only and ONLY thing I didn't like in this concert was the noise of sword in Dybbuk, It engulfs the best part of the song sadly :( . But nevertheless, for any music-addicted, Gackt Diabolos Tour is a must-see!
