Is she a confirmed vocalist or just one you prefer? Because good god. By the looks of her insta she's just interested in being a bra model. I mean I guess that good for getting attention but it makes me think she's more interested in simply getting famous than anything to do with making music.
All she is is "innocent" face posing and lingerie pics.
returner, I don't prefer her. I just saw her photos and read about her on the Japanese fansites last year. Japanese fans say she is the confirmed vocalist. I think they know more than we know. Since it is an open audition, for example, applicants can post if they have passed or not on the fansite. I found those audition clips on the Chinese site just 3 days ago, and I could recognize her as soon as I watched it.
Japanese fans say she is the confirmed vocalist, but who knows? Yoshiki can change members if he doesn't like them.
As for her being a bra model, you are perfectly correct. In her instagram profile, it is written "グラビア・モデル(gravure model / gravia model)". I can't translate this word "グラビア・モデル", google the image if you are interested in it. I really wonder what Yoshiki is thinking.
it's a typical idol. and no, i don't like this shit.
But damn, she can sing (for an amateur). She starts singing about 82min https://www.bilibili.com/video/av15280325/?p=4
I agree with you. I don't think her voice suits X Japan music. But other applicants are even more terrible. I heard that Yoshiki had auditioned for VUK female vocalists so many times, but the ultimate vocalist after hundreds times of auditions is THE vocalist we know. How lucky is that Yoshiki has met Toshi in kindergarten!
BTW, the girl who sings at 82nd minute is not her. She is another girl.
