"Graffiti" is the fortieth single of Japanese solo artist Gackt, released on November 30, 2011.[1] It's the third opening song of the anime Sket Dance.[2]
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. He also sang the song "Iki Toshi Ikeru Subete ni Tsugu", 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]
