"Graffiti" is the fortieth single of Japanese solo artist Gackt, released on November 30, 2011.[1] It's the opening song for the anime Sket Dance.[2]

Summary

Gackt announced that he will continue his collaboration with the anime Sket Dance in November.[3] Dante, the vocalist of a band named JardiN, was modeled after Gackt, and he himself voiced the character, as well as sang the song "Iki Toshi Ikeru Subete ni Tsugu", on which Dante performs in the story.[2]

The music video was filmed in the late-night streets of Shibuya, Tokyo.[4] In the beginning, it features Gackt in the limousine and as he gets off the car as a camera guy follows him through the streets. It ends with him going to the parking area, and riding off on a horse he used in the NHK drama Fūrin Kazan and regularly uses at Joetsu city's Great Kenshin Festival.[4]
