Story, we receive e-mails from visitors all over the world. Thank you all for visiting the site! Today, we'll share with you some excerpts of questions and answers from the Story mailbag that may be of interest to all our visitors.
From Airyn in France:
I read that Gackt's eyesight is 3.5... Is it means that he has a bad eyesight ?
Story Webmasters:
When Gackt stated in an interview that his eyesight was 3.5, he was presumably referring to the decimal scale for visual acuity. On the decimal visual acuity scale, 1.0 would be the equivalent of 20/20 vision (or 6/6 vision using the metric scale). 3.5 would then be equivalent to approximately 20/6 vision (or 6/1.7 vision on the metric scale), which would mean that Gackt can see detail at 20 feet (or 6 meters) that a normal person could see at 6 feet (or 1.7 meters). In other words, his vision would be extremely sharp.
Given that the maximum visual acuity of the naked human eye is close to 2.0 (20/10 or 6/3) and knowing Gackt, however, he was most likely stretching the truth. :)
From Rád in Hungary:
I read in your site, there is a plan outside Dears members. Do you know when it start?
Story Webmasters:
While Dears has been considering the option of accepting members from outside Japan for quite a few years now, there has unfortunately been no official announcement as to when they might actually be able to do so. You can, however, always send e-mail to Dears expressing your enthusiasm for the possibility of overseas memberships.
