The release date for Gackt's 2001 Live Tour Requiem in Reminiscence DVD has been scheduled for November 21, 2001 (11/21/01).

Gackt is currently the pianist in the Domoto Bros Band on the TV show Domoto Kyoudai (Domoto Brothers), which is hosted by the members of KinKi Kids, a popular Japanese pop group. Domoto Kyoudai first aired April 8, 2001 (4/8/01) on the Fuji Television Network in Japan, and airs regularly on Sundays from 10:00~10:30 p.m. This is the English summary of the show from the Fuji TV website:

"The Kinki Kids, top Japanese stars, play street musicians looking for a chance to make their debut in the 'Domoto Brothers.' They try to use all the things they have learned about music on the show 'Love, Love, I Love You,' as they perform music live in the studio, and also out on the streets with other top stars. Going beyond the realm of music, the 'Domoto Brothers' try their hand at other things to show you the seldom seen adult side of the Kinki Kids."

For more information on the show and images, etc. of Gackt, please see the Domoto Kyoudai (Domoto Brothers) website.
