What does "Unplugged" mean in that context?

Is it just another word for "acoustic" or is there another meaning?
Without You being mainly on piano, I don't see the difference?

Post by: Matthias on January 26, 2017, 12:32:45 PM
I'd assume it means acoustic, can't think of something else. But You are right, it's weird as the use the word 'acoustic' in the track list as well.

Post by: AsukaMiyu on January 26, 2017, 01:59:36 PM
...Also pay attention to La Venus being only the rough acoustic version instead of the full band one...
If I were sarcastic I'd say that they didn't find time to go to the studio and record together... ;P

I reckon the third movement is after the piano section, so the last few minutes of the song?

That would be my guess as well, since thats the part also shown in the movie.

But I liked Asukas idea of just heavy breathing recorded... it reminded me of White Poem I.  :P

I think this "unplugged" version is the same which was on "The World".

That section was called the 2nd movement (at least since they started playing it during concerts), but yeah, maybe they just changed the title and it refers to that part.

I am really looking forward to hearing studio vocals on Without You. Although in saying that, the live recording included in "The World" compiliation were really good!

It seems like it isn't even done yet. Yoshiki just wrote that he is still recording. And that he hasn't slept in over 80 hours. I hope he has gone to sleep now...

How is it possible he is still recording this when it's just a compilation and the two news songs are basically one composed 20 years ago and played live millions of times and the other one was already recorded as it was submitted to the Oscars?

My thoughts exactly. Unless Art of Life 3rd movement is a completely new track or this acoustic version of La Venus was a new addition, I don't get what is taking so long. Wouldn't it make more sense if he said he was in the studio for 90+ hours finishing the new album we've all been expecting for the past 8 years?

Post by: returner on January 29, 2017, 02:05:49 AM
I'm starting to think Yoshiki simply isn't in the studio as much as he says he is tbh. Like when he posts to Twitter saying so, sometimes, it's just a PR move. I do wonder where he finds the time with traveling all over the world and promoting unrelated projects like fashion and food and showing up to events. Now with all the documentary promotion, is it really any wonder he probably just hasn't had time? Idk, maybe he just isn't there as often as he'd like us to believe.
Title: Re: "WE ARE X (Movie)" Original Soundtrack
Post by: AsukaMiyu on January 29, 2017, 07:15:04 AM
returner, that's exactly the impression I had as well. He just spends weeks doing random stuff and only goes to the studio once the deadline is knocking in the door. seriously when did he start working on those two songs? when they showed him the soundtrack press release for final approval?  -_-

I'd love that to be a new song but I strongly doubt as this is a soundtrack for the film and as far as I know there was no new version of Art of Life in it.

I do remember him saying he was composing some second part of Art of Life a long time ago, he also mentioned something about wring a "masterpiece" a few years ago. I wonder which song is this "masterpiece". Kiss the sky? Lol

It's all extremely annoying and I'm thinking it could be exactly like AsukaMiyu said, he just started on whatever is new the moment he was privy to the release date. I'm so tired of these staged photos of him strewn out in a studio. It's almost cringe to think about him telling someone when to take a photo of him. He's trying so hard to appeal to the "kawaii vampire nurse weeabo" mindless drones that spam him on social media and tell him how beautiful he is. It's sickening to the core. 5 weeks now to XDay in London. Let's hope it happens and is a damn good concert for those attending. Hopefully we'll get some more news about the real album soon. Preparing for a disappointing set list though.

Post by: Hyunkel on January 29, 2017, 08:34:50 PM
So basically, I kind of feel we get this soundtrack as an excuse if the real "new" album is postponed again for eons...
But, there's no official postponement of the "new" album yet, no? It's still supposed to be released in March? I don't remember if an official date was announced when the last postponement occurred.

In the end, if LA VENUS and Without You are on this soundtrack, there'll be only KTS that'll be a "new" song on the "new" album?
I mean, we already knew that most of it would be already heard but the fact that the newest song (LA VENUS) will be released already at the time of the album being released (if ever...), it's just sad.

As for Yoshiki not sleeping for 80+ hours, and still being recording songs 2 days ago on an album 90% done since 2010...  *sight*

That's what I am afraid of. It's not uncommon that you know a couple of songs before the album gets released, be it single releases or live performances, but knowing almost every song of the upcoming release beforehand sucks.
I still hope they may only include a couple of songs we heard so far and half of the tracks are really, really new ... but yeah, who am I kidding. ;)

So, after the epic 90 (?) hour stint in the studio, Yoshiki just confirmed he has finished the recordings for the soundtrack. Put up a clip of Without You playing in the background, very nice.

It really feels like a palliative album...

I'll revise this judgement if the "new" album is released in the same time but even if it's the case, I don't see the point of this soundtrack (except, you know, money) since they could easily put LA VENUS and Without You on the "new" album and get it over with (which they might do anyway).

I know they kind of work a lot on the promotion of the movie ("a lot" as in comparison with what they've done the last 10 years with X Japan) and to release a soundtrack album along with the movie is a good call I guess? But it still feels rushed and palliative. I mean it's a good thing that an album is announced and released within 2 months but it could be just another excuse to not release the "new" album: release the movie + soundtrack, let the new fanbase discovers X Japan and all, and some time later when this new fanbase is established release the "new" album for everyone.

WTF!  They should give us the information about the video promotion and this album signing 1-2 months ago but not less than 2 weeks.  We all know that Yoshiki's planning and schedule ability is shit, though.  LOL

This sounds amazing! I didn't think La Venus was that impressive when I first heard it but after hearing this, I think it's definitely one of X's better new songs. Maybe not my favorite though because there's no guitar solo.

Got a little teary-eyed all thanks to Toshl's emotionally gripping high notes! :-[   Luckily no one's around...

They are going to perform La Venus on Music Station tonight, it's been 21 years since their last appearance on the regular broadcast of MSta (not super live), can't wait.

Here is the acoustic version of La Venus in full.

Thoughts?
I still don't understand why Yoshiki didn't write a guitar solo after the second "it's the end of the world", at -2:00

It would fit perfectly.

I've got goosebumps listening to Without You. Toshi's vocals are devastatingly emotive. I couldn't be happier with this studio version.

I got goosebumps too. The vulnerability in ToshI's voice is just something else... The 9 year wait for the song almost feels worth it! ;)

And so is X Singles apparently?!

The remaster of AOL is actually really great! Does anyone know if the version on "The World" is remastered too? Made me kinda excited again!

We have the same mind... our comments are just apart by some seconds....
You are going to the concert, right?

Actually, I don't want to buy the soundtrack because the only new song is La Venus and the other version of Without you -which I got from iTunes already. Now with this limited edition?? I need to reconsider.

Just saw pictures of the special edition on facebook. I'm even more tempted ^^"

Waiting for the Japanese edition to arrive in the post. Didn't stop me grabbing La Venus and Without You on iTunes. Glad they didn't make them Album Only songs.

I ordered my copy of the Japanese released soundtrack off of CDJapan & I'm waiting ever so patiently on it. It's supposed to come with a random sticker or something of the sort with this first press release.

Yes, as you can see on the picture, there is a sticker in it (white background, reddish X, above the red CD in the pic). The sticker is transparent.

Hehe, thank you.
One of the best things is the big poster. I wanted to have one for a long time. So finally...
Same is with the Vinyl itself. Never had an X Vinyl.

So I'm very glad indeed :)

Oh yes the poster is really cool. Only thing that's a bit sad is that you have to decide which side to hang on your wall, because it has two sides.

We Are X Limited Edition Color Vinyl Soundtrack hits #1 on Amazon's vinyl and soundtrack charts!
   
   
We Are X Limited Edition Color Vinyl Soundtrack now available!
Amazon Japan: http://bit.ly/WeAreX_LtdVinylAmz
HMV: http://bit.ly/WeAreX_LtdVinylHMV
 
X Japan's first vinyl release from Sony Music in 28 years. Limited to 5,000 units.

The We Are X film soundtrack album became the first film soundtrack to reach the Top 3 on the Japanese charts in over 45 years (last achieved by The Beatles' "Let It Be"). Furthermore, it also accomplished the unprecedented feat of ranking No.1 on the British rock album charts. The soundtrack became a worldwide hit alongside the film, and the decision was made to release a vinyl version worldwide.

We Are X is the first vinyl album to be released from X JAPAN in 20 years, and the first vinyl record to be released on their old label Sony Music in 28 years (the previous time was with their major debut album BLUE BLOOD, released in 1989).

The deluxe exclusive Japanese original version features a red record jacket, double-sided collector's item poster, 4-page booklet, 1 Japanese bonus track, a double jacket, and separately colored double albums (LP 1 is red, while LP 2 is blue). The limited Japanese vinyl edition of We Are X will be released in a limited run of 5,000 copies.

Did not know that it's limited to 5000 copies...
