Rock veteran GACKT puts distortion into the human circuitry on FALL AGAIN, his 50th single, released digitally on September 29. The nerdy detail lies in the vocals: he describes using “grit,” a controlled roughness comparable to guitar distortion, while the song’s dramatic changes express someone recognising their own downfall yet remaining powerless to stop it. Reason has read the warning label; impulse has already swallowed the contents.
The track doubles as the theme for WOWOW’s コンサルタント―死を執筆する男― (Konsarutanto — Shi o Shippitsu Suru Otoko — “The Consultant: The Man Who Writes Death”). GACKT also plays the mysterious recruiter drawing its aspiring novelist into an assassination business. Predominantly English lyrics prioritise sound and sensation, with Japanese passages painting the scenery—a carefully engineered descent with its composer lurking inside the television plot.
