X Japan's concerts on 2009 revealed!!

Yu~Kun · **Reply #30 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:57:19 AM

I hope i'll manage to come to one concert...but for that i need the exact European dates!!:PXD

nemetroid · **Reply #31 on:** January 04, 2009, 07:31:52 PM

They have Korean concerts in late March followed by several asian concerts and the US concerts before coming to Europe, so at least they won't come here before summer. I hope to be able to go to at least two of the concerts. The one in Finland is given though!

I find it hard to believe that they will end their tour in Beijing, the tour final will probably be in Tokyo Dome. I wonder if they will announce even more concerts?

julien · **Reply #32 on:** January 04, 2009, 07:47:10 PM

Beijing would be the best for the final! They would do something no one did before them...

You mean if they perform at Bird's Nest?

Yes ^^

Great news for those European countries.

I know they won't but I wish they'd come to New Zealand, or at least somewhere in Oceania..

Why do "World Tours" never include the southern hemisphere?

Toshi singing about carbon offsets in South America doesn't count.

Because the Southern Hemisphere holds only 10% to 12% of the human population and besides Australia (and NZ) it has only most of South America and 1/3rd of Africa

Well seeing that there's significant fanbases in the southern parts of Asia like Indonesia/Singapore/etc. I thought we might get some lovin'.

Since there has already been some discussion going on about dates for 2009 world tour, I did a quick translation of the end roll part at Countdown gig 2008.12.31 Akasaka Blitz:

2008...because of the support of all of you we were able to do x japan concerts again.

and 2009...even though wen don't know how far we will be able to do this, we will challenge the World Tour with all our bodies and soul.
Of course hide will be going with us.

Even though the journey ahead my be bearing many difficult ways, further various problems [not quite sure about the kanji, right now, somebody else with jap. lang. knowledge check this please] may stand in out way...

the people the came here to this place and all those fans that are watching this right now, whatever will happen, we think we will be going forward.

This year we returned to the beginners heart [shoshin ni kaette, the lives title] in the true sense and we will step by step continue down the road infront of our eyes.

We thank you for always supporting X Japan.
We really, really appreciate this.
And from here on we will share the own destiney as a group [group means X and the fans; unmeikyoudoutai]

This year will be an amazing year for everybody.

MillieQOF, I said I heard about people throwin' bottles onto the stage = rumour, because I surely wasn't there. : D

Yeah, all those concerts sold out quickly in Finland too, although three of those bands had two gigs in Finland. I was attending Miyavi and Dir en grey and will be attending LM.C, btw. : D

I guess no Australia to be expected..

Well I'll be happy with the best of + new song or more new music at least.

And so, rumor disproved!
At least from what I saw from my position. I was up front, the only spot I didn't really see was where Kaoru stood. Who would throw bottles at him? :0

Why don't they come to Canada? What about us?

I seriously don't want to go to New York or LA

Agreed! Play at the SkyDome in Toronto! Hehe but seriously, it would be silly seeing as New York is not THAT far away and there is already debate whether or not they will even sell out what they have on their plates (Madison Square Garden). I just don't think there is the fan base here in North America, especially Canada, for them to do a Canadian show as well. The SkyDome would be awesome though, it's a 50,000 concert seater...it's like Tokyo Dome to a tee. They would probably go to the Air Canada Center though, it's around 17,000 spots I think.

Oh well, I've been fairly prepared for New York since last April when the announcement was made. Even though it's a little out of the way, it's X and this is almost a once in a life chance.

haha ! X live in... Montreal ! Now that would freakin rock... Montreal is well known as a great city for emerging bands.. although I highly doubt X would ever play here since we have a very low asian population concentration (and let's face it, I assume they are looking into that). Too bad though, Dir en Grey played not too long ago and it was close to sold out (to my utter surprise) with very little promotion. With the proper promo I'm sure it could work out pretty well.

Then again, if NYC can really happen, that's still a shorter roadtrip than lets say... Tokyo

i would prefer the tour to end in Tokyo Dome.. it starts and ends in Japan, just sounds better lol ending it in China seems improper to me. owell.... maybe because the feeling that they will end for good after the tour ends is really strong, so i thought they should end everything at somewhere they belong to.

Didn't they give quite strong indication that they would continue in the video message after the countdown live? At least I interpret it like that.

i meant, discontinuing after the world tour ends.. i read from http://www.bxte.info/BXtE.html where it says "..(we) are determined to do the world tour.
" it may be not 101% translated accurately but its something like this yeah?
even so.. you never know what will happen.. for they're X lolz.

do i sound like i want them to break up? no i don't =)
still, their future (after the concert) seems.. 'blur' to me..

they should totally play a mini-gig in singapore since they are already at thailand. it would provide fans at australia etc. to watch the concert. i think aussie fans would rather come singapore than go thailand ^^. (no offence).

alex · **Reply #51 on:** January 09, 2009, 12:27:09 AM

I'm quite surprised to why they haven't shown any interest whatsoever to perform in Singapore. I'm also under the impression that their fanbase is quite huge there? I was even introduced to X by a Singaporean.
