At least i know now why the bland guitar parts of the X-Japan Songs released after the reunion sound like they were played by a beginner on electric guitar.
Mhh sorry but i can't stand Violet UK and this Softy Music.
What's Softy Music? VUK is electronic, classical, pop, experimental, jazz, rock... I don't expect everyone who likes X for their metal roots to be into VUK genre wise but there's nothing mediocre about VUK, even if the guitar parts are simple. Music doesn't have to be complex to be diverse
X Japan's guitar will never be the same as earlier X with or without what happened imo. X has always been a sponge of current trends. Dahlia had lots of simplistic noise guitar just like Sugizo's incorporating now. It was bound to happen
We are not trying to keep the legacy—we are trying to move forward, so our sound is going to change. I’m ready to be criticized, for example by fans saying "you should rather be this style." I’m ready for it, I’m okay with any concept of criticism-Yoshiki
