Gakkie (#3108)

[CHz]

THEORY: This was a handle of Takashige Inagaki.

TOTALLY CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE:

• Takashige Inagaki was part of Same Creative. Gakkie is (was?) part of Lip on Hip.
• Lip on Hip is a subsidiary or brand or something of Same Creative, and there is staff overlap. Mitsuhiro Tabata of Same Creative = WACHA of Lip on Hip, Koichi Ishibashi = bAsHEE, etc.
• Gakkie's last known works happened around the same time that Inagaki died (R.I.P.).
• Name similarity: Inagaki -> Gakkie

WHY I AM PROBABLY FULL OF IT:

• Inagaki seems to refer to Gakkie as a different person in this interview: http://ar-tonelico.jp/dokkoi/index_01_20.htm (question 3, first answer).
• Likewise, Gakkie is credited along with Inagaki on a bunch of Ar Tonelico albums, although never for the same role I don't believe.

Feel free to spike other gigantic holes in my theory here!

Some more circumstantial stuff:

Gakkie was a drummer and a member of Lip on Hip. Inawo was the drummer for JUNK, which was formed by Lip on Hip members.

Inawo's alias 鷹茂イナヲ can be read as Inawo Takashige.

Inawo = Gakkie = Takashige Inagaki
