YOSHIKI's one-minute Black Trick cameo with GACKT explained

Smart FLASH reports that YOSHIKI's heavily promoted appearance in the Black Trick finale amounted to one line and roughly one minute on screen. The brevity surprised some viewers, although YOSHIKI had joked at the outset that he could appear for about ten seconds.

What aired

YOSHIKI appeared as himself in the September 28 finale of Fuji TV's Black Trick: The Lawyer Who Controls Judgment. Smart FLASH says his single spoken line and Rubik's-cube exchange with GACKT occupied roughly one minute.

Why expectations were higher

The program promoted the appearance as the pair's first drama co-starring moment and teased their interaction before broadcast. The report cites selected viewers who found the result anticlimactic, but those comments do not measure the whole audience.

How the cameo came together

The report traces the booking to a social exchange in which YOSHIKI joked that he could appear for about ten seconds. GACKT then called him directly, and YOSHIKI reportedly reached the set two days later, while the production kept backup scripts in case travel disrupted the plan.

Update note: Original Japanese-source recap comparing the promotion, the on-screen appearance and the earlier ten-second joke without generalizing social reaction.
