Graffiti (Gackt song)
"Graffiti" is the fortieth single of Japanese solo artist Gackt, released on November 30, 2011. It's the opening song for the anime Sket Dance.
Summary
Gackt announced that he will continue his collaboration with the anime Sket Dance in November. 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.
The music video was filmed in the late-night streets of Shibuya, Tokyo. 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.

Yahoo! Graffiti
Yahoo! Graffiti was a multiplayer game and a member of the Yahoo! Games network of online computer games. It is similar to Pictionary in that one player draws while other players guess what is being drawn. It was taken offline along with several other popular Yahoo games in 2013.
Gameplay
A game consists of 4 to 8 rounds, depending on the number of players. Each round, a player has two minutes to draw ten words. They may choose to draw or skip each word. The guesser and artist both score 50 points for a correct guess. There is no penalty for an incorrect guess. The artist may click good guesses, to signal to the guessers that they on the right track (the words turn green). When the artist's two minutes expire, his turn is over and the other players are shown the words the artist was unable to draw. You can also play a team game. The team game follows the same rules, but you can only guess the word when one of the players on your team is drawing. The points are awarded to all team members. A team can be made up of two to four members and teams aren't necessarily made evenly; you can make a three versus four game and a two versus three game.

Risk
Risk is the potential of gaining or losing something of value. Values (such as physical health, social status, emotional well-being or financial wealth) can be gained or lost when taking risk resulting from a given action or inaction, foreseen or unforeseen. Risk can also be defined as the intentional interaction with uncertainty. Uncertainty is a potential, unpredictable, and uncontrollable outcome; risk is a consequence of action taken in spite of uncertainty.
Risk perception is the subjective judgment people make about the severity and probability of a risk, and may vary person to person. Any human endeavor carries some risk, but some are much riskier than others.
