GACKT from Okinawa Donated to the prefecture for rebuilding Shurijo Castle, which was burnt down August 17, 17:12
GACKT, a musician and actor from Okinawa, donated approximately 4.7 million yen to Okinawa Prefecture to support the reconstruction of Shuri Castle, where the main building was completely burned down.
GACKT visited the Okinawa Prefectural Office to give donations on the afternoon of the 25th.
The donation means that GACKT-san hoped that the goods sold on the live tour would be useful for rebuilding after the fire that occurred at Shuri Castle last year.
GACKT said, "My fans also helped a lot. This is the feeling of the fans and me who love Okinawa," and handed over a donation list of about 4.7 million yen.
In response to this, Mr. Uehara, the national director of the Civil Engineering and Construction Department, Okinawa Prefecture, said, "Thank you for your donation.
In the past, he also shot NHK dramas at Shurijo Castle.
When GACKT appeared on the NHK drama "Tempest" nine years ago, he recalled that he had filmed at Shurijo Castle. I think some people feel very sad because their symbol, which is important not only to me but also to Okinawans, has disappeared in this way, but I hope it will be useful even a little.'' I was talking.
