^But it says in the twitter post: "Chinese officials had issued a permit and were supportive." So what makes you think it is the government stopping the show?

yes, of course, they would like to play there, so they can´t announce there are proplems with the officals, if you say that you can stay away for ever, and btw. it´s China, a dictatoship of proletariat, a socialist country after all, I don´t think that the promoter are independent and doing their own stuff without being influence or watched by the government, so lets hope for the people in China and the fans aboard that someday somehow somebody of the leading functionary get in mind, that it is a really good idea to have an X.Japan show in China

maybe I´m wrong, but the show was announced that long ago, and no tickets were on sale and 8 day before the concert they realize, that there are technical problems, sounds very common to me, I was growing up in socialist country too, that´s why those thoughts came to my mind

Well, Chinese officials did have issued a permit, as far as I know, the problem comes from ticket agency. The advertisement in ShangHai is far away from satisfactory, someone even don't know how and where to buy the ticket. Embarrassedly but honestly, there are still a lot of seats available, which gives a really bad example to BeiJing. No big profit no further work, it's the real world.

@VivLeigh: if it is really the problem with the promoter, than that´s a good news, I think it´s easier to be a "victim" of bad management than of political non-transparent decisions, so we will see what the future will show...

The second vid has become private =[[ Not that I can understand what they were talking about, but nice to see the whole band together =)

its pretty crazy that tickets still hadn't gone on sale yet with the show so close, I guess in different parts of the world things are just done too differently and it wasnt taken in to account.

I wonder how many tickets would of sold if they had just put them on sale a week before the show, while Yoshiki is disappointed and a lil mad atleast they plan on still doing the show at another date

And seems like they're going with the same setlist in Shangai. I think I should leave this forum and stop following what they're doing right now. Right now everything they do just pisses me off. I should just watch their old videos and listen to their older songs.

yeah, i really understand that..

elanor · **Reply #669 on:** October 30, 2011, 06:03:02 PM

equal rights for all

- no to be honest, the setlist could really have been modified a bit, I´ve learned here in that forum that asian fan do love more ballads, so why not satisfy them, I know that some bands travel with the same setlist long tours, but mostly if there is something like a choreography around the songs, so maybe Yoshiki can shorten his We are X shouting and do a bit more music, that would be really fan service

Piano solo is not "中国国歌(National Anthem of the Republic of China)", it is a song by Faye Wong (a famous Chinese singer), which lyrics is an poem.
"Thinking of You"

　　When will the moon be clear and bright?

　　With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky.

　　I don't know what season it would be in the heavens on this night.

　　I'd like to ride the wind to fly home.

　　Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are much too high and cold for me.

　　Dancing with my moon-lit shadow

　　It does not seem like the human world

　　The moon rounds the red mansion Stoops to silk-pad doors

　　Shines upon the sleepless Bearing no grudge

　　Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart?

　　People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart

　　The moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane

　　This has been going on since the beginning of time

　　May we all be blessed with longevity Though far apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together.
