neolog Kind Of Catchy, But Not GACKTs Best 4

I'm not really fond of the title track. The lyrics are kind of funny, but not overly smart or meaningful. 'My Father's Day' is a much better song and worth the purchase of this single. It's also the reason for the GOOD rating.

neolog review GACKT's Koakuma Heaven 5

Koakuma Heaven makes you want to dance. It's a fun song. Very addicting.
My Father's Day is a special song that is wonderful. This CD is a must have.
GACKT By whitetiger1540(2009/11/13)

neolog Devil's Heaven 5

'Koakuma Heaven' is quite possibly one of GACKT's greatest new hits. It's catchy, upbeat, and fun. Plus the lyrics are briliantly dirty. ^__~
This single also feature's another upbeat and happy song, 'My Father's Day'. This single is an absolute must for every GACKT fan! And as a bonus: the CD cover feature's GACKT in drag! Doesn't he make a beautiful girl?
Reviews By Aeryn(2009/08/01)

neolog Pachinko pop that shocks :) 5

Although I came to GACKT's ¾®°­Ëâ¥Ø¥Ö¥ó [Koakuma Heaven] skeptical that this could really be the true Gackt, I was glad I trusted my intuition and picked up KH. This single can best be described as "pachinko pop", all glittering pink and purple girls 'Hai!'ing around Gackt's altered vocals.
Koakuma Heaven is a perfect dance track, but despite its happy-go-lucky dance-ability and catchyness, after several listen-throughs you will recognize the layers of depth and double-meaning that Gackt is renowned for.
Undoubtedly one of his best of the year so far, Koakuma Heaven is catchy and irresistible enough to hook newcomers, and yet still as packed with the thoughtfulness and quality of the long-standing Gackt pieces we veteran fans expect.
Best of GACKT By Gacktpause(2009/07/30)

neolog Awesome 4

When I saw the cover of this CD I was shocked, not because Gackt was dressed as a woman but because he hates(just heard about it)this kind of girl. I decided to listen to the preview and surprisingly I loved it. It's the kind of song you can always listen to and don't get tired of it.

Happiness 5

I think this is one of the most curious songs from GACKT. The lyrics are funny and contains that kind of language that GACKT use to hate. Also, he is in the cover, wearing a woman's dress, that is so funny. I think GACKT is happier than ever, and as his fan, it makes me happy too.
I'm buying this CD and I hope I can get the FLOWER and FARAWAY singles.
By Karen @MEXICO (2009/11/02)

Great new song 5

This is my favourite song of Gackt from the last year. Is a very good song. This song is great!!!!The b-side is very good too.
By Victor J @SPAIN (2009/07/23)

Meh... Not really the best... 4

The A-side "Koakuma Heaven" is not really Gackt's greatest song ever... It has slightly repetitive beats and an extremely annoying vocoder effect. It's definitely a song out of Gackt's "norm". Needless to say, this is not a great start for his single campaign... The B-side "My Father's Day" on the other hand is, well, I don't know really how to describe it... It seems like just a generic rock song, but I just can't stop listening to it. I definitely recommend it. I gave this review a 4 just because of that song.
By Edward @UNITED STATES (2009/06/29)

Koakuma Heaven 5

I absolutely love Koakuma Heaven (and My Father's Day as well)! Both songs have happy, fun tunes that I haven't heard from Gackt for a long time! And that cover.. I've wasted at least half an hour to realize which of the girls is Gackt! It was quite entertaining.. There are too many words to describe the whole thing. But I'll be short and repeat myself one more time: I love it!
By Julia @GERMANY (2009/06/24)

1st HEAVEN 4

Koakuma Heaven is a fun (albeit risque) single coupled with a heartfelt melody dedicated to the late Ogata Ken.

The A-side, "Koakuma Heaven", is a song that is bursting at the seams with synthesized vocals. Said synth effects may (or may not) hinder the overall feeling of the song as I'm sure everyone is used to Gackt's velvety voice. However, this song is to be taken with a grain of salt and enjoyed for what it is: a fun, slightly raunchy, dance song.

The B-side, "Father's Day", however, takes a more serious tone in terms of lyrics, yet, similar to "Koakuma Heaven", the tune is still upbeat. A mix of English and Japanese, "Father's Day" is akin to the likes of "Black Stone"; delivering messages of perseverance. Overall, "Father's Day" is another strong addition to the many hopeful songs in Gackt's collection.

NOTE: First press includes a small card with a wallet-sized image of Gackt on the front and a small calendar on the back.

Koakuma Heaven Pre Release Comment

Do you know inside the cover, Gackt is one of them? Whatever you guys said that he is not interesting since Jesus.. I still do feel that he's awesome...
He admit it himself in one of the interviews that he's being a childish before and now he's grown up and he need to be more creative and after quit smoking.... he has become more creative and creative...
By Wawa @MALAYSIA (2009/06/08)

Gackt, you're a funny man Pre Release Comment

Gackt gives us a sense of his funny side with this single. The lyrics, themselves, are from a woman's point of view and if you're a little confuse about the cover, perhaps you should read the lyrics. xD
By Cindy @UNITED STATES (2009/06/06)

gackt better than ever Pre Release Comment

i have listened the preview.. yes, is diferent. but is so amazing, love this song. gackt u r the best,
i am hoping to buy all the 4 cd
By Andrea @PERU (2009/06/05)

Yay~! Pre Release Comment

Koakuma Heaven sounds like a great song! You should go to Gackt's JAPANESE website and watch the preview videos for Koakuma Heaven, Faraway, and Lost Angels!
By anonymous @UNITED STATES (2009/06/05)

Psh, he's still amazing. Pre Release Comment

Gackt changed for the better, he has the right to be creative and change his style like any artist. If people don't like it, their loss. In my opinion, all his songs are truely amazing because of his voice and how much emotion and soul he pours into it.
You have to really understand the r&r story to appreciate it.
And lastly, if someone doesn't like his songs anymore, I hope you haven't lost respect for him.
