[Jug: I feel this article is interesting because it's from Gackt. It's his idea. You may get the outline of "MOON CHILD" after you read this article.]

Entering...

The borderless city of ancient Shanghai seems to be the living areas of Asia's weird creatures Demons excelled from hell, the place where they mix in the darkness.
Streets without any trace of humans, filled with a darkness thick enough to be deadly.

~ That guy is mingling in the darkness...
To prevent the rays of sunlight shining on him, he puts his entire body in the shadows.
From his wrists, fresh blood like crushed rose petals keep to flood onto the ground.
To trick out the moon thats reflected on the surface (of water), flooding unstoppingly into the lake shores.

At the same time,
The young man who sensed this suspiscious happening, is in the middle of Shanghai's noise.

~ Premonition.
That night, the sky of this demonic town was dyed bright red...
As if it were waiting to welcome the arrival of that guy...
Not long after, he started to walk towards the noise.
Is it because he could no longer stand being alone? Or is it because...
That guy walked towards the crowd proudly.
While he foresee the coming rendezvous.
At this moment, another young man also had the same premonition...

~ In the crowds, the distance between the two became small enough for them to meet.
From the young man's point of view, that guy seems to exist in another time space than himself.

~ But, now for that guy, time for human beings only means pain, suffering from being surrounded by that horrible past, this suffering is for him the only real emotion...

To escape the pain and desire that guy will once again tread the road of battle...

~ Surely.........accidentally...
The two of them are guided by the moonlight, causing them to look pale...
facing that man who seems to claim darkness as his possession.
The young man begins to feel worry and horror.
To erase this feeling of horror he starts to attack that guy.

He seems to already understand...
The fists of the young man only seems to touch his shadow.
The young man's worry has reached a climax.
He pulled out the black thing and aimed at that guy's head.
But just this second the whole situation changed....
That guy gave the gun back to the young man.
Silently he reached out his hand,
like he was meeting the young man in happiness...

No one knows when the two of them started to act together...
They, in the darkness, seem to complement each other's weakness...

The two of them seem to search and hope for something in the darkness...

~ Eternal darkness...
Man has started to worry...
....A world thats too quiet, lonely.
Even with friends at side, that heart is still being fooled by the shadows from the past.
Hoping to erase his own destiny.
That way, being laughed at by the beautiful moon in the silent night.
Carrying a light that doesn't seem to have a temperature...

The man didn't have a way to let the worry disappear.
He stood on the darkened street.
His right hand hid an intention to kill.
Because he knew that it was the only way he could face his own life.
Not knowing whether it was because he knew his intentions.
That friend stood beside him again.
Secretly hiding that same intention to kill in his chest.

To achieve something between living and death. The man pulled out a that silver object.
As if coming back from death...
The man's actions reminded him of the madness of his past.
Only the blood and smoke that was spat out, made one forget everything.
Under the moonlight.
Even if it was only limited to the peace seen now...

The madness from being in a battle and happy days.
Something that seems be visible and invisible.
The man may have longed for something when he was facing the gun.

While getting wet from the rain, the man's hand became blood red once again...
It was the same way as when he first wandered to this demonic town..
A memory that should have been sealed deeply in his soul.
Repeating the same mistake over and over again until he was shivering from the sadness...
....Never been comforted.

The decision made because he didn't want to repeat the same mistake...
But once again, his friend refused to part from him.
Like the past that could not be cut loose.
The distance between the two seemed to intertwine, transcending life or death.

He is no longer clouded...
Not afraid of the past, not afraid of the present, and then was the release from the fear of the future.
When he had to face himself, he should remember the something that was once forgotten.
Leaving the demonic city, SHanghai.
He will come back once again...
