Gackt was Malice Mizer's ex-vocalist from 1995 to 2000. After him quitting Malice Mizer he went solo. Rumours say he quit because he was having financial problems. Gackt started off as a drummer of some band and took over doing vocals after the bands vocalist left. Back then he couldn't sing high only sing with his deep voice. Gackt was recommended by one of the Malice Mizer members and became the vocalist of Malice Mizer in 1995.

Gackt had a hard childhood. When he was very young his parents made him sit in front of the piano everyday even when he didn't play. On television his parents controlled which channels he watched and pushed him very hard in everything. Gackt really hated this and even wanted to kill his parents at the time, eventually he couldn't take it anymore and jumped into a lake to kill himself. Fortunately he was saved by a neighbour and brought to hospital (gackt said he faced near death experience). After that gackt started to see ghosts that were very scary to him, his parents didn't believe him and even laughed at it at times. Gackt was really hurt that his own parents didn't believe him. When he hit the age of 17 his parents told him they regret pushing him so hard, gackt was really angry about this.

Gackt is a very determined sort of person. He has a very wide octive range and can play lots of instruments such as the trumpet, tuba, horn, trombone, piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Lots ne? ^^ He writes all of his music and originally wanted to be a conductor.
