Rock
Rock

GACKT is a Rock act. Their sound grew out of Frédéric Chopin, Ayumi Hamasaki, B'z, Namie Amuro and John Lennon. Those roots explain a lot about how GACKT arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Lareine, Luna Sea, DIR EN GREY, X Japan and Vamps, 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 18 connections around GACKT, reaching back through Frédéric Chopin and forward to YOHIO.
