I wasn't sure where to ask this but, I like Gackt but what worries me is there is this other Japanese band that sings about the devil and I don't know if Gackt does the same thing.... Should I really even be worrying about this? what are your guy's thoughts on this ? thank you in advance for your thoughts ^_^

Most Japanese are agnostic or atheist or some kind of eastern religion so if their singing about that kind of stuff the normally don't mean it they just think its cool to say. But I'm a huge black metal fan and two of my friends are Satanist so you might not want to take my word:lol:

When it comes to what lyrics you should or should not listen to, that’s a matter of conscience that no one else can answer for you, so why don’t you try reading translations of his lyrics if you’re concerned about what the content is?

Anime Lyrics has a decent database of J-pop and J-rock lyrics; here’s their page for Gackt. That might give you a starting point. Anime Lyrics doesn’t have every single one of his songs, but I’m sure you can find more of them by doing an internet search.

Your username also throws a bit of doubt on your knowledge of this sort of thing, Faust.
