News report of yesterday's concert with lots of footage:

(it proves that Toshi stopped singing early into "tio kaketeru" on the last song and the rest was an echo, like we thought).

A report from xradicaldreams on today's concert:

"Just came back from the 2nd live. A lot of things on my mind now, so may be a bit jumpy.

1. SUGIZO played more tonight, with Rusty Nail and Weekend as well.
2. The crowd and even the band showed more energy than last night.
3. Yoshiki gave more than 100% of himself. I am surprised he could stay till the end. At one moment, there was a moment of anxiety because Yoshiki collapsed after the 2nd half of AOL again and people from the back stage came to rescue him. But he could stand up again.
4. Yoshiki showed more emotions today in my opinioin. There were a few times when he sat in front of the piano, it looked like he sobbed but i am not sure. He also rolled himself on the ground during X.
5. yes, the crowd sang happy birthday to heath during the break. so when the band came out again, Yoshiki said he heard us singing and he played a birthday song for Heath.

9. Pata also seemed better. He patted Toshi's head when they were about to play Forever Love.
10. Toshki carried Yoshiki on his back after one of the encore (forgot which song).

13. I almost cried before the live began because I was touched by passion the fans displayed. I could feel the love people had for X. It was amazing. The girl sitting next to me flew all the way from Singapore herself. She knew all the X songs and was totally hyper. Another more matured woman sat next to me who was so down to earth looking, but she also went wild once the show began. It was interesting to see this mix of crowd.

didnt quote the whole thing but thanks!
some parts to reply..

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 10 ) that was great xD
9) thats cute haha and i wanna listen to acoustic verison of forever love!
13) i wished i could be like the singapore girl too... i would be, if my parents allowed =(

To top it all, I have somehow successfully recorded the whole concert in my mp3!!!! whahaha i cant believe I did it although the quality was bad.

I think we all want to here it even if the quality is bad, if its the same quality as the mobile phone videos of the concert that's good enough right now.

holly.x · **Reply #242 on:** January 17, 2009, 06:12:29 PM

Toshi just couldnt stop speaking Cantonese, he even ordered us to singer louder in Cantonese...."Dai Sand Dee!!!"

lmfao

Oh I have listened too all of them now on my way home. It was pretty poor but everything was recorded ..all of 3 hours.

We have showed so much more passion than Japan concerts last year I went to. Well they might be no hide hologram, but everything else compensate with a near perfect concert. Yoshiki is the man. he has an energy of a 20year old. no shit. He was that amazing tonight. I am holding back my tears but I could cry anything I want cos it was a perfect night.

some sidenote

1. yoshiki also dressed in chinese costume today ~~ he is in red !
2. yoshiki threw himself to the drum set at the end of AOL...n collapsed...

3. i was very very close to the stage tonite

!!! and i got one of the silver stripe from ''kurenai''

!!!

Ulquiorra · **Reply #246 on:** January 17, 2009, 06:33:51 PM

Complete video of Kurenai of the 16th

The only thing I don't like, and I noticed this from the countdown live as well, is that Toshi doesn't sing 'cry in deep red' anymore, other then that, absolute perfection. Also either Pata or Sugizo messed up at the beginning of the solo.

Immortal Angel · **Reply #247 on:** January 17, 2009, 06:35:29 PM

I hope yoshiki is ok ...

the opening i believe

Ulquiorra · **Reply #260 on:** January 17, 2009, 08:04:29 PM

The first video is working now holly, also please edit your post instead of posting four times, anyway thanks for the videos.

http://uk.youtube.com/user/yuki2507

this user has a lot of videos, in the forever love video, Toshi sang 'all I see is blue in my heart' perfectly.

Also the video titled 'endless rain 2', I think that's the best performance of Endless Rain that Toshi's done, and hearing him scream "I can't hear you!!!" in english was awesome.

holly.x · **Reply #261 on:** January 17, 2009, 08:10:57 PM

well after i have replied my message but it came back with error sohow would I know it's successful if that's the case? gah i'm doing things at 4am and that might not be appreciated haha.

the youtube clip I just updated is still being processed but it's been uploaded apparently.

plasma · **Reply #262 on:** January 17, 2009, 09:04:52 PM

Thanks v much for all your prompt updates, holly.x!

I'm glad both concerts went so well and that you enjoyed yourself. I really hope X Japan will start finalising their remaining concert dates (in addition to S. Korea) soon so that I can have a chance to catch them this year. Hopefully, the success of the HK concerts will motivate Yoshiki to quickly finish his new song and have those dates finalised. I really want to see them and sing Endless Rain and Kurenai and do the X jump along with the audience again!

Full video of Tears

Fucking hell that was beautiful.

OMG *cries* *goosbumps*

Menacia · **Reply #265 on:** January 17, 2009, 10:10:52 PM

damn great performance of tears. Toshi's voice has really become great again.

Ulquiorra · **Reply #266 on:** January 17, 2009, 10:15:23 PM

Yoshiki was really emotional by the end of that.

Part of Without You.

Most of Endless Rain, from the 16th.

Part of the Art Of Life piano solo, includes Yoshiki playing practically on his knees.

Artseeker · **Reply #267 on:** January 18, 2009, 12:39:28 AM

Ok I'm still a bit shocked after viewing the video of Tears...that was probably the BEST performance they have EVER done for that song...Toshi was simply godlike...

I'm really starting to feel excited again at the thought of maybe having the chance to see them in Europe this year.

They are back in amazing shape.

Ulquiorra · **Reply #268 on:** January 18, 2009, 12:47:13 AM

K I've just found something kind of annoying, I found another full video of Kurenai, I know for a fact that its from a different day then the last one I posted because Toshi sings with a clear voice in this one, the problem is, Pata makes the exact same mistake at the exact same point in the solo he did before, which makes me think its not a mistake at all, and they're actually playing that part of the solo like that from now on, which I don't think I like, it sounds like Pata plays completely the wrong note.

It happens at 3:39, he plays it the exact same way on both days, it sounds weird, I might be able to get used to it.

Also we're all obviously wondering what this "02. Pf & Vocal Rusty Nail" was like, well here it is

It happens 5 minutes into the clip, its basically like what they did with Blue Blood before they played the proper version of Blue Blood on the countdown live, only with Rusty Nail this time. I don't know what happened with Toshi though, something went wrong with his voice, he started his falsetto, then his voice died out, then 2 seconds later the falsetto starts up again.
