You may be right but I think young men would listen to Gackt before the politicians.
Personally I think the whole thing is pretty funny. Sure it may be a wild approach but it just might work. And while Gackt may not look very masculine, he's pretty tough, and at least he recognizes there's a problem.

I was thinking the same thing!
All joking aside, I hope they catch this guy, although it doesn't look like he doesn't know what he's doing.

She looks great. Much better than some of those other girls you see on here.
And why no Japanese models? They couldn't find at least one?

First of all I did say I was happy for them. But it's not normal for a growm man to have romantic feeling for an underage girl. You're talking about my preconceived notions of right or wrong, sorry but in most places, including Japan, it's illegal to have that sort of relationship with an underage girl.
And this isn't about feelings, it's my opinion which I have every right to express. Am I happy for them? yes, but at the same time when I read about how they got together, I'm like 'what the hell?'
And yes I do hope they waited to have a sexual relationship after they were married, or until her parents gave consent. You know why? Because if they didn't, it would have been against the law! Maybe it is a bit late but there no law against hoping.

Okay I'm really happy for them, anytime you see two people who love each other is a good thing but the ICK factor is very evident.
Think about it for a second, this man met this girl at 13, and married her at 16. That means that within those 3 years, he had to fall in love with her and realise she was the person he wanted to be with. This is a 13, 14, 15 year old girl he's having these feeling for! And let's not even get into the sexual aspect of all this, lets just hope they didn't do anything until she was the legal are or, seeing that the parents had to give consent, when they married.

Well if she was messing around on the last guy with her current husband, it won't last long. Her first marriage ended because she cheated on him.

Um people she said LOOKED! She didn't say she wanted a herbivore, she wants a guy who looked like a herbivore In other words she wants a strong good looking man! A herbivore, while hot, is not very strong or self confidant it seems(I don't know much about this type of guy, I'm just basing this on what people are saying on here.)
Personally I can't blame her, I want a strong, confidant, good looking man too! And please don't say they're not in Japan, just because you don't hear about them doesn't mean they're not there.

So a man likes dressing up in skirts, who cares! It's his life, who is he hurting! Some of the people on here are acting like it's the end of the world!
I could understand not being a fan of it, but there's no need to overreact.

He's a good looking man. I've seen better looking Japanese men but still, very nice. And he's 49!?! Damn, that's a good 49!
And for the guys who have a problem with the ladies gushing over him, get over it, you would be doing the same thing if it was a hot chick, what's sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose!
I never watched Lost, but i might have to check it out now.

That's understandable. She still shouldn't have took them but but I can understand her reasons. It doesn't sounds like her reason was selfish.

LFRAgain, you say we shouldn't judge them but you turn around and say she took the kids because she was selfish. How do you know that? there could be many reason why she took the kids. Maybe she wanted to go back home and didn't want to leave them, maybe she thought he would try to shut her out of their lives. what she did was wrong but don't think it's because she's a heartless woman who doesn't care about anyone else but herself.
I never said he brought her to the US to dump her, i think he went home for the divorce because he knew he had a better chance to see his kids, which is understandable. I said IF he did it just to divorce without her knowledge he was wrong.
