Gackt is king of the visual-kei rockers (see this article for a good discussion on the topic and masculinity on J-pop) and is seriously weird. He started out in the group Malice Mizer and is now a big solo performer and has crossed over to the mainstream with commercials, regular TV spots, a drama (Hero's Hero) and a horror movie (Moon Child). This is a little surprising when you consider that he claims to have psychic powers and likes to put it about that he is really a vampire born in 1540 (he's obviously been reading too much Anne Rice). Gackt may be weird, but he does like to show his ass, as these shots and two commercials demonstrate.

Here is a link to more of the "Japan Guys in the Lockerroom" that you posted earlier--wanted to give some back! http://www6.kinghost.com/gay/baki/con12/sauna/
Can you tell me why Japanese bands use English names? How would anyone there know what they mean?
Loved Korea week!
