In 2000, on February 9 and 16, the third and fourth singles were released, “Mirror” and “Oasis”. They peaked at number nine and number seven, respectively, and both spent six weeks on the charts. His fifth single was released on March 8, “Seki-Ray”, which peaked at number seven, charting for six weeks. At the beginning of the year, Gackt was joined by support guitarist and associate producer Chachamaru. For Caparison Guitars, Gackt designed two guitars, named “Marcury” and “Venus”, which he occasionally uses in his live performances. On April 26, his first full-length studio album, Mars, was released. It peaked at number three, spent five weeks on the charts, and was certified gold by RIAJ. The following day Gackt went on a nationwide tour Mars Sora Kara no Homonsha -Kaisō-, which included 16 concerts, and on July 1, he performed the final concert at Yokohama Arena.

Most of his studio albums are conceived around two conceptual stories, “Moon Saga” (Moon, Crescent, Diabolos, Last Moon), which is a vampire story although by itself it is not, as the vampires were presented as a way of expressing a certain evil side and existence of humans, and “Requiem et Reminiscence” or short “ЯR” (Rebirth, Re:Born), which is set during the World War II. The themes of both concepts are based around the existential questions of humanity. They are symbolical and psychological stories about the repetition of human sins, war and the question of what is the ultimate meaning of human life. His process of writing songs and making concerts is by first writing the story, then writing and composing the songs based on it with a specific image in the live performance. It results in songs that are conceptually related, but still independent from each other. These conceptual kind of shows are different from typical live shows, and don’t fit in the usual categories of a musical or a theatre play. Thus Gackt calls them “Visualive”, because they are formed by a story, video images, music, theatre and musical elements, as well as live performance. The live form was originally created during the “Requiem et Reminiscence” tour in 2001, and according to Gackt, it took him almost ten years to arrive to a satisfying point of form during the “Requiem et Reminiscence II” tour in 2008-2009. However, he found such way of expression very exhausting and difficult, with a profitability that is not in accordance with the demands of entertainment industry.
