Sankyo, the largest panchiko machine manufacturer, has just created a website - Fever X-Japan (http://legend-x.jp/). At the moment, the only thing it says is 'Fever X Japan Coming Soon', a Sankyo company logo and '©2010 Sankyo Corporation + ©JMA All rights reserved.'
As you might have heard, an X Japan panchiko machine was announced at the July 1st L.A. Yoshiki Foundation party, you can find a short video clip of it here - http://www.twitvid.com/PQQ07 .
Oh and this - http://www.sankyo-fever.co.jp/xjn_page.html - the X Japan page 'news announcement' on the Sankyo page, something to do with 'live' and 'rusty nail'.
-
and what is a pachinko machine?? Is it going to be released in Europe?
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachinko
I don't think it will be released anywhere outside of Japan...but then, why show it in LA?
-
I posted this picture in another thread, reposting since it fits better here and more people will see it. It looks crazy awesome.

Never has there been a more rockin' way to throw away your money ;D
-
I assume the answer is no, but are these going to be available to buy for regular people or is it only for arcades and shit?
-
I'd guess it's only for arcades and stuff like that.
-
lame :(
would look awesome next to my X Japan cabinet :D
-
I pass pachinko parlours everyday. If I see one I'll take a photo and post it.
-
Steal one of those X Japan pachinko machines and i'll pay you lots of money for it :D
-
Look at this!!!
Beautiful!!!

^ Thanks Ann, that looks so awesome! I assume they will use the violin intro for the album too? If soooo.....great! Ha, after seeing the screenshots, I thought that it looked rather.....well lets just say bad...but it looks really cool!
EDIT: Hmmmm, I am confused...the YouTube description says this has something to do with th pachinko game...but what has this to do with it? I think this is the Kurenai PV?
-
What's with that chick that transforms into Yoshiki? Or maybe that was a guy? What the hell is a pachinko anyway? And what is the point of that video? Is it supposed to be the beginning of the new Kerenai PV or something?
-
The chick that transforms into yoshiki IS yoshiki! xD
I don't really get the video yet, thoguh o_O; Especially the end is... weird... (why are they hugging in slow motion when the song just really started?)
And what's it with all the western chicks in messily worn kimono? >_<
Don't get me wrong, it looks beautiful, I just don't know what to think about it yet haha (Full version, plz!)
-
I like it :)
-
And what's it with all the western chicks in messily worn kimono? >_<
Ha, my thoughts exactly...WHY WHITE PEOPLE, WHY!!!!
-
So many japanese bands have westerners in their PVs that this doesn't even surprise me at all...
Also, I like Yoshiki in that video and I like the concept as well...^^
I'm hoping the final version will be even better...~
-
Maybe because he wants to catch the US audience with it? (if it´s not only for this game). Beside of that, he has a knack for having western women appearing in his PVs ...
-
Thanks Ann

You get previews for Jade and Rusty Nail as well, click here:

thanks to Trini at xradicaldreamers.

Full Jade Video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rHH0KOSvJE
-
I don't think that is the finished Jade PV, just clips from the site joined together...but it's got clean audio..i.is anyone else thinking that a guitar part is missing?
-
The videos look very expensive... Too bad the audio sounds cheap and roughly produced. I can only pray to whatever God exists that Jade isn't going to be released in such a shoddy state.
-
OMG! OMG! OMG! THANKS FOR ALL THE VIDS AND LINKS!!!!!
WE ARE X!!!!
-
ThanX for all the links, the PV's look good.
-
Hope we hear the full version soon, but so far Jade sounds better, its got the power of the tokyo dome live versions with the vocal harmonies.
Big important question about the beginning of that Kurenai pv though, it seems to have a new violin/piano opening to the song, but where's Toshi's opening verse, "I couldn't look back, you've gone away from me" ect. and does this mean the guitar intro's been replaced as well? Its worrying because its not like the previous version with the orchestrated opening, where afterwards it then goes to the guitar section with the "I couldn't look back" opening line. It seems in this version it completely skips it and goes straight to the main powerful section of the song.
They can't completely replace the original intro, its one of the best openings to a song ever, I worry about what's going to happen to the rest of the old songs now.
-
I agree with you Beauty/Broken. I stumbled across that video on YouTube last night and was really excited because it looks to be a full MV but I was disappointed how bad it sounds. This might just be me but I don't think Jade will go down as well as I.V (has so far) and Born to Be Free. I honestly cannot make out half the things Toshi is singing about; his English pronunciation is quite good but on Jade it's just baaad, I'm sorry =/ don't know what they did wrong. I mean shit, I've been listening to X/X Japan for like 5-6 years now and could even make out his "Engrish" during the X days! Art of Life was another great example and that was like 17 years ago. In terms of their latest songs I'd definitely say in terms of quality and pronunciation: I.V. , BTBF , Jade. (I think BTBF will be the best of the three once a full studio version is released, I LOVE that song right now, it's great)
*Also! after just watching it again, WTF were they thinking during some of these shots? The highest most epic part of the song @ 2:52-2:56 where Toshi sings "where I still believe" in his beautiful pitch, his body emotion for that scene NOT how one would be when belting out something like that. He's barely pretending to speak into the mic during that part. Ugh, that's just baaad. Also, I'm pretty sure Yoshiki's still got those dreadful Midi's playing. It's funny because they said they plan on releasing Jade as the first single in the U.S or whatever, that is a disgrace, like how can you steep from HIGH production values in the past to something that sounds like Garageband. I'll always love X Japan but Jade has just rubbed me the wrong way.
-
Steal one of those X Japan pachinko machines and i'll pay you lots of money for it :D
Erm, I want to remain in Japan so no "stealing". Sorry. :)
-
I don't think we have anything to worry about with the new PVs, I think that these are just leaked samples that were intended for the use of the panchinko site. They probably just gave them some unfinished bits and pieces of the videos for advertisement purposes. Just my thoughts.
You get previews for Jade and Rusty Nail as well, click here:

I thought a pachinko machine is somewhat like a slot machine (used for gambling) - so where does the music and video part fit in ? Or is it completely different than what I think ?
-
LOL Now you can do a shout on fever X Japan. It's funny ;D
But I don't understand how to do is, I can't understand the Japanese.
Can anyone help? I understand that you can do it with Twitter but I don't know how.

But in terms of the Kurenai pv that doesn't explain to me why they went straight from the Violin/piano opening straight into the main part of the song. Have they cut out the original guitar opening, which was one of the most memerable/iconic moments of the song? (it would be like a new version of stairway to heaven having the opening guitar segment cut out), and have they cut out Toshi's opening verse? "I couldn't look back" ect. also a memorable part of the song.
-

I guess you just write "#x_shout http://legend-x.jp/shout/" in your twitter to promote them.
I tried :) http://twitter.com/InTheWakeOfEden
-
I see! It worked. Thanks Andi!
Ulquiorra: it are just little pieces...Not the PV's! Of course, Kurenai will have 'I couldn't look back' etc...it would not be Kurenai anymore without that...I am sure of that, it is not possible otherwise!!! It are just little pieces for that fever thing site I think.
Wait, have patience till we see the whole PV's, although patience is very difficult :D
-
Hmm, I am wondering if Fever X Japan is more than just the game machine? I am rather confused as to why they would be the first to get official clips of X Japan videos?
-
I thought a pachinko machine is somewhat like a slot machine (used for gambling) - so where does the music and video part fit in ? Or is it completely different than what I think ?
Yes, it is. A pachinko parlour produces a cacophony of sound so how the music part ties in over all that noise I have no idea. And, the video aspect...it's got me!
-
The Jade video seems pretty cool, it's obviously not final seeing how badly out of sync it is and the drums are clearly a machine. I do hope the final mix has louder guitars in it.
-
There are 3 different versions now from that Kurenai on youtube: all little pieces,nothing full[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSNLW1BoY3M&feature=player_embedded[/youtube]

It is really beautiful.
I love those mix of Japanese with Western styles.
-
Oh nice!!
and I like version 1 best, definitely. :)
and version 3 is here ->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lflZqoyMzRA&feature=channel
-
It is difficult to make a choice.
All versions have a thing that I prefer.
In one I like when the girl is stopped by that man with the sword when she enters the house.
In another I prefer when Yoshiki catches the 'firepile'
And in the last I prefer when the girl is surrounded by all those men.
So, a mix of the 3? ;D
-
I don't really get what happens in Kurenai... The bad guys just shoot some arrows and burn the house. They surround that chick but then flee and leave her alive. Oh my fucking god it's Yoshiki let's run guys?! :) But I like the visuals very much :) Well I don't think it's gonna be cut like that in the actual pv anyways....
-
Oh my fucking god it's Yoshiki let's run guys?!
Like that vision of you ;D ;D ;D

@Tanabata - Thanks !

wow.. hide isn't printed on the yokohoma concert poster which you can see at the end of the advert.
though I really like hide and his work I'm VERY happy that X went on without giving hide this exaggerated credit like they did before!

Saw the ad on Japanese TV the other night. I'm checking all the pachinko parlours as I pass them but I'm yet to see anything.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06Utp4BIAXY A new ad for the pachinko, at approx 2 mins, it sounds like the new version of Rusty Nail?
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06Utp4BIAXY A new ad for the pachinko, at approx 2 mins, it sounds like the new version of Rusty Nail?
I think you're right.
From what I'm hearing it has a new lead synth for the introduction, and has *gasp* MIDI drums :/
-
It sounds a lot like Yoshiki has got piano running throught the riffs, what the hell!?!
Or is it just that the background synth sounds in the original are far too loud in this version? I can slightly hear the dun-dun-duns' in the original but they're far too loud here, sounds suspiciously like piano, and if Yoshiki is now putting piano throughout the riffs of the rock songs, he's truly lost it, they have no place in rock songs except for the bridge sections and in extremely rare instances (Rose of Pain solo).
As for the guitar, I think it sounds very slightly heavier, it sounds good, but hopefully its not because Toshi is now singing it in a lower key or anything dumb like that.
Also that werewolf transformation looks horrible, and Yoshiki's giant face looking at that girl makes me laugh everytime, terrible.
-
I'm not annoyed at Yoshiki's current production ethos, I'm upset.
See, I'm a musician and a producer and I love orchestral music. As much as I love X Japan's songs, a real draw for me towards Yoshiki's music on the whole was his unwavering commitment to his art. He never cut corners in production, ever. His drums always sounded crisp and well mixed, his piano was always recorded to perfection and he never slacked on attention to detail regarding orchestral sections in that he would always have real string musicians record parts for him. In an age when synthesisers were all the rage and the majority of bands cut corners on production costs by using cheap and cheesy string synth swells as opposed to real orchestral musicians Yoshiki would always be an exception, and he'd do it in style - by working with musicians such as the London Philharmonic Orchestra for Art of Life and Eternal Melody.
Even when Yoshiki had a low recording budget, such as when recording Blue Blood, he still elected to put money into his art and have real orchestrated sections.
Now it’s 2010, Yoshiki owns his own studio and is sitting on a fortune from a successful music career and record label business venture.
It bemuses me as to why he refuses to record his own drums and piano now, and uses rubbish sounding, non realistic synths which sound both amateur and tacky. Is it because Yoshiki is too lazy to even record his own parts now? Is he deluded enough to think it sounds superior stylistically? Or is that he simply doesn’t care anymore, and has lost his interest in actually producing something which sounds good but instead just wants to release some shitty half-arsed, minimum effort job onto the world which the devoted many will blindly part with their cash to purchase in order to fuel his superficial Hollywood lifestyle for another 10 years.
In this day and age with software such as East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Platinum and The Vienna Samples library available it is now possible to re-create almost flawless orchestral sections without having to use real musicians (many film composers use them), so he could go ahead and use these synths and few would realise that he is actually doing so. But instead he chooses to use awful cheap sounding string patches, which could probably be bettered by free-ware which is kicking around on the internet. Even worse still, with a violinist on-board in Sugizo he could very easily have him play a violin part multiple times and build up a perfect sounding violin section in the studio relatively quickly, but again he chooses not to.
I’m still hoping that all of the stuff we have heard are just production demos, I really am. If Yoshiki releases X Japan’s new album in the state of the stuff we have heard so far, I’m seriously considering refusing to either buy or listen to it, simply for want of preserving my current views and opinions on X Japan’s music and existing back catalogue.
-
You can't just assume that Yoshiki's neck was healed enough to play at the time of recording these songs, more than likely his doctor told him he wasn't ready yet and he would damage his neck again, and his hands if he played drums for the album, its not just the amount of songs that require drums but also how many times he'd have to play them, and specific sections of each song over and over again.
Wait, are you telling me the violin in the new Kurenai was a midi sample, and he didn't ask Sugizo? Now I don't know what to think.
-
Common, Beauty and Ulquiorra, what are you saying now???? :D
This is just for that pachinko thing of course!!!
Could you ever imagine a musician like Yoshiki releasing such stuff for cd????
Don't forget he is a perfectionist!!! That will not change, the cd is already posponed!!! It will just be a very good cd with Sugizo on violin and so further, not this stuff what you hear here!!!
That video had really weird things in it that makes me laugh :D Lol, the werewolf!!!

I hope you're right. I honestly do, but then again, he has released Violet UK stuff such as ROSA with synth drums and piano, so it's possible.

He played real drums for hours during the video shootings and has played piano on numerous occasions recently during small performances with Toshi. He can play just fine, I don't think it's a realistic excuse.
As far as my ear can make out, I'd say no. None of the string swells from the new album I have heard (such as the start of JADE and Born to be free) have been real strings, instead they're synth patches, and bad ones at that.
-
Common, Beauty and Ulquiorra, what are you saying now???? :D
This is just for that pachinko thing of course!!!
So the preview of Jade we heard at LA months ago, and the preview of Jade we heard even months before that were all leading up to this pachinko?
-
I really hope they don't use midi drums but I've got a feeling they will. :(
Also, new pics of the PV's are up on the Pachinko website, just click the CM Gallery tab. :)
-
For the piano, it is sure that he can play it!!! And very beautiful!!! Saw it in Paris! Very very beuatiful!
-

You can also hear an uncluttered sample of JADE in the Discography section.
-
Okay, apart from the horrible mix in the YT vid and that I dont care for those machines at all, Im not really into the whole "Yoshiki's X Japan" theme that seems to be going on in the new PV's... other than that, I actually hope they use the new intro for Rusty Nail (with a normal mix and real drums)
-
So they have Joker as one of their music samples in the discography section, that could mean they're playing that live, but why is 'standing sex' written underneath it? Was joker in the 'standing sex' single as well?
Also some of the choices they picked for these audio samples and the videos on the pachinko machine are terrible, like the silent jealousy sample. What, couldn't they find the verge of destruction 1992 dvd so they had to use that instead?
The best sample there was the I.V one.
-
He played real drums for hours during the video shootings and has played piano on numerous occasions recently during small performances with Toshi. He can play just fine, I don't think it's a realistic excuse.
During the video shootings he doesn't really play the drums, he just pretends to hit them, as far as I can see. The sound comes from a pre recorded track.
Was joker in the 'standing sex' single as well?
Yes, it was.
-
I had a feeling it was, I havn't looked at the album/single tracklists of the band for ages so its hard to completely remember.

Joker and Standing Sex was a double A-side single.
Yoshiki's always used midi drums in the demos of his songs, ever since Jealousy. The final product will not be midi drums, mark my words.

According to user on xradicaldreamers 'YOSHIKI', there was a press conference today and they revieled the game.
Link he provided which has pics of videos and images from the game, including the members drawn anime style.

Yoshiki transforming into a werewolf looks weird.... and so scary... and funny as well xD can't wait to watch the full video

General public. Via this http://pre.beetv.jp/index.html It's TV for mobile phones apparantly. The videos will be Rusty Nail, I.V. and Jade.
-
Well, I'm assuming these are the fully finished pv's, the english version of Rusty Nail as well, so lets hope that after tomorrow they're uploaded on youtube as soon as possible, also lets hope for no midi drums.
Edit: I was just reminded by someone that in Japan it already is tomorrow, so hopefully we'll see something today.
-
Ultra bad quality but at least we know they're availaible now. Plus the audio is live.And they're not the proper PV's, they're just the rooftop recordings. :(

^And from what I can hear, it still sounds like Jade still has midi drums :'(
-
Gah, that sucks, guess we'll have to wait for lollapolooza to hear the english versions.
As for the midi drums, well as shane said they're just using the same recordings they always have, there's still some hope the fully finished songs havn't been exposed at all yet. The Jade recording is from months ago remember.
-
Whooaaaaaaaaaa~~~~ So nice to see something new from X Japan~~~~
I had to read everything several times when understand what is that Pachinko thing~~
Thanks for all links you posted there~
Well, what can I say about these Kurenai versions?
I really dont like that Yoshiki blonde long hair wig....
He looks like a girl T_T
But that black outfit with corset was really osum~ Is there photos or better quality of that outfit?
And other question - What is the story of these Kurenai videos?
Or is there one story in whole game? I don't understand this~

We don't know yet. But it looks like that there is a girl (a princess maybe) and Yoshiki is her servant, who has to protect her.

Thanks, Hypno~
What I say, that Yoshiki looks like a girl......aish....don't know how to express my minds....
Well, he usually looks kind a femine, but that wig just..... outfit is ok, but wig now~
Your posted photo is way better~~~ But this is only my opinion~ Don't beat me~
Well, I guess we have to wait for more info about story's plot~

A longer preview of Jade is avaliable from today, since that video got the most votes. Too bad it's not the full one like we thought.Well I did anyway. On the homepage it says something about Rusty Nail, I think it's avaliable to mobile phone users.

Lol, Jade's PV is turning out....Twilightish....NOOOOOO!!!
-
yoshiki fangirls crying.

oh nooo, not Twighlight...xD.... well, ok, it's still X Japan..... :-\
BTW, the blond girl's makeup is weird x_x
So, are they gonna show us all PV by piecemal? lol

-
Some new commercials, presumably for the Panchiko machine, that feature (some yet unseen) clips from the new PVs:
http://legend-x.jp/cmgallery/index.html
-
I assumed Yoshiki and the Fever X Japan people would be withheld from releasing anymore hide footage until the Headwax thing was settled?
Well actually looking at the new clips, there's no hide, but from what we've seen the pachinko machine does have last live clips of hide, so would X be allowed to advertise the machine at all right now?
For some reason I can't stop laughing whenever I see Toshi leaning out of the car in the new Jade preview clip XD.
Midi drums at the end of the clip when Born to be Free was playing?
-
And a poster - apparently there is going to be some kind of a 'debut' on the 7th. I guess it'll be the machine.
-
Midi drums at the end of the clip when Born to be Free was playing?
Yup.
-
I can't load the CMGaallery, it only appeared : Loading 0%, sometimes it reached 30%-40% and freeze. Another menus like Dowload, Videos, etc.. work fine.
-
LOL at the werewolf changings and at the end in the elevator he is beaten at his turn :D
ToshI leaning out of his car ;D
Really impatient to see those whole PV's, it's gonna be great and comic :D
I'm curious also to see Pata's, Heath's and Sugizo's roles in this PV's
-
Toshi leaning out the car really is hilarious, it looks like he's a plank of wood and somebody's pushing him out the window.
-
http://legend-x.jp/ Looks like they're releasing a "Premium" DVD, I assume it'll be of all the PV's, this month.

Any clue how we can purchase the dvd? (expecially us non-japanese readers)
-
Over on X Boards, they are saying that the DVD will be on sale where the Pachinko machines are...Pachinko Parlors? I am in doubt whether it will include all of the PV's, and really, I am rather confused as to the whole meaning for Fever X Japan anyway. As far as I can tell, this name is just used to advertise the gaming machine? Why would X Japan release its latest PV's, which should be targeted at America as well, with a Japanese gaming company?
EDIT: Just as I thought, the DVD won't contain any of the PV's...I still want it though! Here is the list:
- Opening
- KODAK THEATRE LIVE (Making)
- I.V. (LIVE)
- Rusty Nail (Making
- Rusty Nail (LIVE)
- JADE (Making)
- JADE (LIVE)
- ENDLESS RAIN (LIVE)
- Ending (Interview)
Can anyone confirm how they will be selling it?

Ooh, so they're going to be the rooftop versions. Interesting, I might buy the DVD if they ship overseas (which they probably won't:()

Tbh the only stuff I'd be too interested in are the rooftop videos... Which will be thrown onto Youtube eventually anyway xD
-
I'd buy the dvd too, but yeah...being overseas too...I will wait for youtube then :D
They could be rich with all those fans overseas...being not able to buy their dvd's.

Hasn't Yoshiki heard of this thing called Blu-Ray? :-\
-
Well, I'm pretty sure not everyone has blu ray players....or do they?
At least over here in Greece most ppl still have DVD players....and such things are being r eleased in the most widespread medium...right?...o_O
-
I don't think Blu Ray has become popular enough, or cheap enough, now for people to do releases solely in that format. DVD is still the most popular.
-
I'm not talking about just a Blu-Ray release but in both formats. :)
Many Japanese music "DVDs" are released in both formats these days.
-
Looks like Fever X Japan are running a competition to win prizes....(does anyone know what the first prize is? Looks like a pair of portable speakers, but the description has "USB" in it...).
Also, someone over on X Boards said that there will be a release of the Fever X Japan DVD in music stores in October. I assume that will mean it will pop up on HMV.co.jp and CD Japan as well! Sounds good, and they even mentioned something about it being a CD/DVD set...although I couldn't really think what the CD would contain?
-
The re-recorded songs? Jade, Rusty Nail, Endless Rain....
And EDIT: the DVD will go on sale for general public on October 1st. I imagine it'll be on cdjapan and the like as well. Here are the news from Natalie.mu - http://natalie.mu/music/news/37288

Making of Kurenai, Jade, Rusty Nail: :)
