Description
While doing my regular calligraphy, I decided to take a break and do something fun. So, for you jrock fans out there, here is Gackt's full name, done in the elegant, cursive Sousho script.
(Not sure if DA will show it, but the characters are 神威楽斗, and are the ones he uses himself in his fanclub magazines when he does his own calligraphy.)This is clearly a stage name, as I doubt a muscian would be lucky enough to naturally have a name that means something along the lines of "Divine Might"(Kamu/i) and "Made of Music"(Gaku/to).
The stamp is the corner is my artist's mark.
(If you want to download this and use it in an icon or desktop, feel free! All I ask is that you credit me with a link back to my DA page. Thank you, and enjoy!

It is the name of a Japanese singer. (The third character is "楽": 神威楽斗.)

"Made of music!" OOOOOOHHHHHH! Never would have caught it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep! It could pooooooossibly also be "Battle Music" as "to" is just a weird kanji, but I'd probably go with the "come from/burst forth from" idea.

Since he said he liked the English pronunciation more, I just never really thought about it! O.o I was all baffled when you said something! lol

Yeah, I think a few people thought I was just randomly giving him kanji! (Which I can understand if you're not familiar with the language.) Nope, I swear on those scans I posted afterward that those are the kanji he uses. ^_^ The problem with Battle vs. Made Of is that that one kanji, the one he uses, can have both of those meanings.

Nope.
The original kanji are, if DA will show my Japanese input: 神威楽斗.

It's kanji. (If you're not familiar enough to tell just by looking at it, notice that there's fewer symbols than there are syllables in the name.

Oh wow. You've heard me rave about how much I love the flowing lines of your Sousho before, but the sheer rhythm and symmetry with which you've made these all line up and flow together is truly astonishing. How fitting that such a gorgeous man should have a name that can be so elegantly written out, too!
(BTW, have you seen any of the recent-ish news coverage of the young calligrapher in Japan -- her name's escaping me at the moment, it's been a few weeks since I saw the article -- who's trying to take that sort of form-meets-meaning approach and apply it to Western lettering? She's got some really interesting work from what little I've seen so far...)

Thank you very much!
And yes, I saw her stuff a little while ago, though her name is escaping me too: I liked her flower/hana piece quite a bit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, that was pretty much my favorite of the ones I saw too...while I've seen some really nifty Western calligraphy doing funky things with letter shapes and arrangements, there was just a painterly sort of quality to some of her pieces that really stood out for me.
(And it probably doesn't hurt that "Hana" was the name of my first dog.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it's definitely a neat approach.
Awwww, cute name!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awww, thanks!
And no worries...as you'll see in my followup-note things are kind of crazy for me right now, so that inquiry is not in any way time-sensitive...more a case of trying to work out details on something to look forward to for the near future.

No problem! I just noted you back. Again, good luck with the move! *salutes*

I don't know who the topic guy is, but the writing looks like music ^_^
Very nice

Wow, that's one of the best compliments you can give a Japanese calligrapher. (That the art matches the meaning.) Thank you very much!
