Bird's Nest seems cancelled, but I understood Yoshiki will keep trying to perform there, or at least somewhere else.

Indeed, if the concert will be in Tavastia/Nosturi/etc., it will be very hard to get tickets. =/

WTF! So they changed their mind about Sweden?
Apparently. But I think it's for the better. If they come, New Nippon will probably be arranging it and I have a feeling NN don't really take the bands they bring here seriously. They market their concerts for 12-year olds.
On the other hand there's the Japan Expo in May, if I were them I'd try to bring X here in time with that to get the most audience possible. That is, if X are interested.

It also might be that they wanted one Scandinavian country and although at first they looked at Sweden, as it's more in the center, they later researched it more and saw that Finland has WAY more jrock fans than Sweden (not a proven fact, just my impression... but doesn't Finland have one of the biggest amount of jrock fans/metal fans/weird people in whole Europe?). It can also be that they messed up Sweden and Finland before. For them it's just two countries that are quite alike somewhere far away. I wouldn't be that surprised.

Finland won Eurovision years ago with a metal group if I remember well ^^
And when you look at Europeans Tour (by japanese visual kei band), they go to finland very often.

I think I'll have to second that XD
In my opinion, it's highly unlikely that they manage to fill Bercy even if it was the only European date.
X Japan are not that polular in Europe and I'm sure X Japan know that better than us.Anyway, this doesn't mean that there will be just a bunch of people,there'll be many(if the concert happens of course XD), but not as many as required to fill Bercy I think.

Ok do not underestimate the swedish Jrock fanbase XDDD It's huge and everywhere. Don't know about Finland, but we've got lots and lots of fans. However, they mostly only like An cafe and Dir en grey. They think X is overrated shit D: When the right bands come, though, they sell out at once.

It's the same here in Finland, except they don't think X is 'overrated shit', because they have never heard of them. x__x

i've read from the news a couple of threads down that yoshiki rejected the suggested venue of some shanghai concert hall. i think yoshiki want to create history by being the first band at the bird nest XD

In Finland there is way more j-rock fans than in Sweden : ) I think that bands wouldn't come to Finland so often if in Sweden there were more fans. And in Finland has been... 20-30 bands? I don't excatly even know : D : D (btw I was very surprised when I noticed that Hypno comes from Estonia : D )

[off]And I heard Swedish fans were throwin' bottles onto the stage when Dir en grey was performing, so if you would be a manager of a band would you take your band to Sweden or Finland after hearing that, and when the fact is that more people listen to j-rock in Finland? And hey, you have easier to survive in Finland 'cause people here understand what you're saying. ; D
And that An Café, which you said is very popular in Sweden, has two gigs in Finland and one in Sweden. That popular Dir en grey had two gigs in Finland and in Sweden one. I don't mean to say you're absolutely wrong, but I wanted to just reming you of some facts.[/off]

I was at Dir en grey and I saw no bottles at the event.
Also, Miyavi, An Cafe, Dir en grey and LM.C sold out here, even if there was only one show, there were loads of fans who couldn't go. The bad thing here, though, is that if the bands don't sell out as fast as New Nippon wishes, they cancel the concert, which is one of the reasons why I don't want X to come.
