i go visit his grave. and have meeting with friends in harajuku.
This thread tooootally lost it's focus. =P
I gotta agree with Anna on this one.. There is no Grassy Knoll here, just an extremely regrettable mistake from one of the world's greatest musicians. Period. As much as one might like the glamor of suicide or want something more from a culprit than a towel, it is what it is. Leave it alone.
In other news... I'm having a party at my place on Dec. 10th, the friday, for hide. Each room with a TV is gonna be showing hide music videos or an X-Japan concert. We're gonna have drinks- Rusty Nail, Pink Spider, Blue Blood, etc- and some ice cream, a cake, etc.
Anyone else celebrating the day?
I think being relatable would be a chore
Anything worth having is a chore. You can't come over here totally aloof and think a lot of people are going to fall in love with you. Luckily Toshi seems like he's being pretty engaging on stage, but Pata and Heath need to up their game.
They're hired guns, and probably don't really wanna be doing any of this, Yoshiki even said recently in an interview that he had been in conflict with "some band members" who were entirely unenthusiastic about playing America. To them it's just a well paying job, and I can't blame them for acting that way. They get paid significantly less than Yoshiki and have been frozen-out creatively for a long, long time.
Woot, thanks Tanabata! Yes, it´s this one here : http://filmmakermagazine.com/loadandplay/uploaded_images/twin_peaks_1-727291.jpg
One more mystery solved ^^
Glad to be of some help. Most of the posts recently have been about the North American tour and, as I live in Japan, I don't have much to say! I'm a resident "expert" on Yokosuka and all the hide "spots" there but not much else! And, of course, I know the record shop Lee mentioned...it's Yajima Records, a kind of dedication to hide. I've dropped a packet there over the last few years...kept them in business!

I have all the emails sent by Penelope cus Im a packrat like that. I emailed Penelope/Nolan Braxell about the free tickets on Monday, the day tickets went on sale. I got no response and still havent, L.A. floor tickets slipped by me on Wed the 18th, I hated the world, found 2 Floor tickets on stubhub which came out cheaper in total than buying from livenation if I had jumped the gun. So i guess some good came out of it. Great success /Borat.
Moral of the story, dont rely on a promise made a little over a year ago.

Was this Yoshiki Discovery thing ever OFFICIAL? Like was Yoshiki actually involved in it/knew about it/supported it? I highly doubt it has any relevance now considering all of their up's and down's since that point. I'd say go for it if X Japan's management was involved but if they weren't, I doubt you will get anywhere lol. All I gotta say is for you guys counting on this, don't let the tickets that are on sale slip away because you're going to need them as a backup! Don't rest upon this :O
All these articles tell me is that they are using hide for revenge on Yoshiki for something I don't think he actually did (not purposely anyways). Yes it sucks for the companies going bankrupt, but what the hell kind of company only invests in one band? It's just as much their fault as it is Yoshiki's. He didn't bankrupt them to be mean. Bands cancel tours, it happens to everyone. It's unfortunate, people lose money, butit's reality. A good company works to make it through the problems, they don't use the image of a man that is not with us anymore to get revenge. This is simply wrong. He's not leverage to get revenge. He's not an object to be used to stab at Yoshiki. He's a man that Yoshiki wants to honor and give him something that he always wanted, to be known through out the world.

"Hear Japan , a company sells That mp3 of Japanese bands, Replied To Our tweet with the lawsuit news, Saying this:
It's more about revenge because Yoshiki bankrupted their entire corporation with his antics."

I would like to quote this simply because this guy has some insight as to what's going on, where-as you're all making wild guesses.
Wait, they're saying Yoshiki bankrupted Headwax?
What crap is this? Headwax have had no involvement since the reunion, either financial or orchestrational (discounting the Hide memorial summit, which they hired X Japan to perform at) with either Yoshiki or X Japan.
Headwax have conducted their own business for years now on their own accord, if they're enduring any financial hardship then it can in no way be attributed to X Japan's activities. If anything, X Japan's resurgence has increased their business, not the opposite.
They're just money-grubbing. They want to cash in on X Japan because they're out of fresh product to put Hide's name on. They're just throwing the dummy out of the pram to either force Yoshiki into signing a new deal (thus making a potentially protracted court case magically disappear) or to generate themselves a little extra income.
I'm seriously impressed with Hiroshi, I never thought that there would be any more ways to drag Hide's name through the gutter. Maybe he saw that X Japan were just starting to get a little bit of stability and slowly phasing his brother's name out of the band, so felt inclined to do something stupid to get 'Hide' back into the Japanese tabloid headlines. After all, he should know better than most how lucrative that can be, the tills didn't stop constantly ringing until months after Hide died.
Music concerts are MUSIC concerts, not fashion shows (ironical?). People want to see band, right. But they want to see the band PLAYING.
X Japan its special band , it has preformance arts and ectecera , not only band playing music
Theres alot of normal bands to see , if you want to see normal band just playing music
It is just an indsider's opinion a.k.a. hearsay.
If it comes from a company, it should be.
I think what voicelessscramer meant was that for her, usin women in such a provocative way (half nakedly dancing) is sexist...*nodding fiercely*

This is going to be shit.
Yeah, but to me that insight does not sound very professional.
So, what you are saying Lee is that revenge with the interest of financial gain does NOT equal money grabbing and exploitation ...?
