Album Notes & Community Reviews
Gackt's first full-length studio album, produced with guitarist Chachamaru, joins J-Pop and Pop Rock in a theatrical, densely arranged format. Anthemic choruses, orchestral colour and ballad structures provide the framework for 'Emu ~for my dear~' and 'U+K', both written in memory of Malice Mizer drummer Kami.
