Rock
Rock

GACKT is a Rock act. Their sound grew out of Mika Nakashima, Yoko Ono, Hyde, Frédéric Chopin and Ayumi Hamasaki. Those roots explain a lot about how GACKT arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Luna Sea, DIR EN GREY, X Japan, Vamps and Lynch., sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into YOHIO, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 16 connections around GACKT, reaching back through Mika Nakashima and forward to YOHIO.
