A Chinese newspaper reported: "ASKA of Japanese unit CHAGE & ASKA was arrested for drug abuse. The police's next targets are visual-kei singer GACKT and singer Miki Imai.
GACKT (40) updated his blog on the 7th and wrote, "What's going on with the international media? The Internet is scary. Anything from useless things to lies are written, as if they were all the truth. And then these make their way across the seas and just get blown out of proportion. I'm already getting sick of it all. Really, gimme a break. So are you telling me that writing groundless shi+ like this is freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and freedom of the press? Rubbish. It's all so stupid, it just makes me sad.".

GACKT was found innocent after the police have finished their investigations following allegations made by a woman in her 20s of rape and indecent assault .
The Metropolitan Police Department submitted documents to the the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office stating that GACKT is "not guilty", and will not be prosecuted on this event.
According to police reports, the woman claimed that GACKT got her drunk in September of 2011, forced her to get in a car and committed obscene acts on her. GACKT then took her to his house and made violent advances towards her.
Aside from gathering the testimonies of both parties, police investigators went to the restaurant the two visited. While finding out that GACKT and the woman indeed had dinner, and headed to his house afterwards, they concluded that there was no "objective evidence" that GACKT did commit such acts in the car and in his house.
The woman only decided to officially press charges on GACKT in April this year. Upon investigation, the police sent a report to the Prosecutor's Office in late June of this year, indicating that GACKT is not guilty.
This case was made public in May of this year after a weekly tabloid published an article based on the allegations made by the woman. GACKT answered to this, claiming that he did invite the woman to his house, but did not commit any kind of violence on her.
GACKT's agency responded to inquiries made by Sankei Newspaper and comments: "He was bothered by this, but he now feels relieved. His lawyers will be taking over the rest, and GACKT will not be commenting any further on the matter".

One year after GACKT's illegitimate child scandal, disaster relief funds embezzlement allegations, and tax evasion fracas, what has GACKT been doing?
According to an acquaintance of his:
"Almost everyone who has been supporting GACKT is gone now. He's living in the basement of his apartment in Setagaya and is planning to sell the 1st~4th floors of his jewelry store in Kyoto. Even his personal chef has left him, and he's all alone living off cup ramens. He's still dating ICONIQ, and has also been frequenting her unit."
GACKT also switched agencies in March this year from Gordie Entertainment to Hoshi Create. He even declared their plans to establish a GACKT PROJECT team within the year. Two months later in May, a managerial executive from Hoshi established his own company G-PRO, where GACKT followed.
"There's no doubt that he left Gordie to avoid further exposure of tax evasion. He was then able to join industry bigshots Hoshi, but was immediately cut after some financial problems. They probably miscalculated the market value of GACKT, whom they had to pay a large transfer fee for. They explained that he was originally tipped to go independent once making his transfer to Hoshi, but he couldn't attract crowds on his tours and even had to call cabaret club girls and "sakura" to fill in the venues. But it seems that Hoshi did not let go of his fan club which can potentially provide them profit. They probably wanted to earn a few more to even up their investment in GACKT."
He also announced on the last day of his yearly tour VISUALIVE (July 7, Yokohama Arena) that next year's tour will be the last.
"He probably wanted to increase the attendance by implying his retirement, but it seems that he's been frequenting Southeast Asia to look for further business opportunities, and has even requested to migrate to Malaysia. His aunt who was always together with him has also made the necessary arrangements to move base to Hong Kong. They must be panicking with the impending investigation by the tax bureau. His aunt used to be an auditor of Gordie, and she just can't dismiss things by saying 'I am not aware'."
His grandmother, who is one of his biggest supporters and goes to his tours in Tokyo from Okinawa every year, comments:
"He never went back to Okinawa since the fracas last year. But he did contact us and said, 'I'm sorry for not telling you' (about his illegitimate child in Canada)". Ending his live tour next year? I wasn't able to attend this year's tour due to some circumstances so it's my first time hearing this. I wonder why someone who works in show business would say something like that. Even Mr. Ken Ogata, whom he worked with in a period flick, told him to seriously consider becoming a full-time actor, but GACKT refused due to his regrets towards music. He's 40 already so I just hope that he pushes on the path that he chose with dignity."
