I watched this clip. At first, it was just fun to find that Yoshiki’s words are difficult to understand even for Japanese, but the latter part of this video was really touching. More than 3 years have passed since then, and he didn’t release the album yet. But I think he was true while he was talking in this video.
(1:50~3:35)
Y : How was it? How was the first concert in a long time?
T : Umm, is it such a time? Time for just two of us? Time for best friends? (Yoshiki can’t hear well) How far is your ears?
Y : If I sit nearby you, I can’t hear the sound from over there. @#$@#% Can you hear it? You can’t hear it.
T : I don’t understand what you are talking about at all. It would be better to speak in English.
Y : Long ago, at our meeting, we used to hold a member meeting, right? I talked a lot. And Hide said, “Yoshiki, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” After I spoke for 5 minutes. (laugh)
My mom used to say “Please speak slowly” to me. (Toshl nods)
Well, 4 years have passed since the last concert(in Yokohama Arena). 4 years ago. From then, where did we go? We went to the US. (Toshl nods)
<< Yoshiki lists the cities X has visited in English>>
(5:00~6:40)
Y : That was our last show, and, finally, finally... (gives the microphone to Toshl)
T : Finally what?
Y : (laugh) You should shout “Finally we’re back in Japan!” (applause)
Y : One more time? Should I list the names of more than 10 countries again?
We last visited Bangkok in November and finally (hands over the microphone)
T : (shouting) We came back to Japan! (applause) and then, finally (hands over mike) (whispering) (Yoshiki doesn’t notice what Toshl says) and then, finally (whispering)
Y : Ah, ah, I see.
T : One more time! Undo what we did just now. Turn off the TV a while. Close the theater once. It is NG now. One more time! “We finally came back to Japan!” (applause) And after this, finally, (hands over the microphone)
Y : We will go to Madison Square Garden! (applause)
(Yoshiki goes to the piano)
(Audience shouts “Tokyo Dome”)
Y : Tokyo Dome? Tokyo Dome, but will they allow us? Because everyone is going to jump. (laugh) It’s me who let them jump. (laugh) but I’d love to perform at Tokyo Dome. (applause) Why don’t you do signing campaign? signing campaign for Tokyo Dome concert. If so, are you going to perform at Tokyo Dome, Toshl? It depends on the signature campaign. It depends on fans. (Toshl says something) What? Where to send signature? As expected, Toshl is realistc. Let me see. Send it to somewhere like Toshl’s facebook, Yoshiki’s facebook, Sugizo’s twitter, Pata’s house, (laugh) or the pub where Heath goes... (laugh) yes!
Well, indeed, X, X Japan has had so many things so far. at the moment, it’s like a dream to be here with Toshl, Pata, Heath, Sugizo and with you fans. Thank you so much. (applause)
At the time of Nissan Stadium 4 years ago, We, who have the wings named “X Japan” said that we will fly to the world. Because You always push us with your wind. (crying) Our wings are tattered and covered in scars... but we will continue to go forward as long as you are supporting us. (applause)
Today, all of the staff of X Japan who made this concert reality, and American agent William Morris Endeavor, Udo who became the promoter this time, engineers and lighting technicians from the US and every staffs behind the stage, I really thank all of you. (bowing) I really appreciate your effort. (applause)
Above all, those who came here today, and those who are watching in the theaters through live viewing, and those who are watching in front of wowwow TV, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. (bowing) Thank you. (applause)
