And quoting BXtE (http://www.bringxtoeurope.com/Bring-X-Japan-To-Europe-X-Japan-Concert-in-Korea-English-1-1-News-101.html):
During the press conference today in the Seoul Plaza Hotel, Korea Yoshiki announced a live in Seoul next year on March 21st at the Gymnastics Stadium of the Olympic Park.

If I study there I'll start in March :D
-
Godammit, after months of hearing shit all we're suddenly given an avalanche of dates @_@
So Yoshiki's in Seuol today. Where is he headed next? I lost track of him after Taiwan :/
-
Korea was his last stop. He should rest now!
-
No! No rest for Yoshiki 'til he comes to Australia!
It's... SORT of Asia...
-
I 100% agree with Fri, we are just south of asia.
-
^ well, I also WISH he would come to Australia, but.. as you see.. how many X fans in Australia? more than 1000? I dont think so.. sad T_T
-
But every Japanese person must visit the Gold Coast at least once. It's tradition ;_;
-
1000? well, ahaha. i think we got more than 1000, so many asian in australia.
-
Well, if they played in Oz, I would go. I live in NZ so yea....
-
kbish mentioned setting up a forum for fans in Australia/the South Pacific region in general.
Anyone got a spare domain we could use to establish a non-ad ridden forum?
-
I COULD give you aussies.x-freaks.com :P But I don't want you to leave this forum :D
-
Aw man, that would be made of win and awesome! D'aaaw Hypno, we'd never leave you and X-Freaks... where else could we get our daily dose of fanservice? ^_~
There'd just be a whole lot less drunken rambling and untranslatable swearing ;)
-
good idea with setting up a forum or web for South Pacific fan base.
Not necessarily have to be ad free website, at the beginning I don't mind if we use the freebie one. Later we'll upgrade, just at the meantime, gathering the fans in OZ and NZ is more important.
So who's gonna set this up?
-
that sounds good, aussie.x-freaks.com
-
and sunday too, 22
-
Two days in a row? Not bad at all, lucky koreans I guess ;)
-
Yeah, my guess is that because their venue is "only" 15,000, and seeing that for example the Thailand venue is 35,000 they decided to do another one
-
Wouldn't mind if they decide the same things with Paris :) but I doubt it ;)
-
'But every Japanese person must visit the Gold Coast at least once. It's tradition ;_;' LMFAO, thats so true.
He dosn't want us to leave this forum, loves us to much. (i would never do that, its here i get my X news 'FIX')

Hmmpf... My study in Korea is postponed a few months, so I'm not sure if I'll attend anymore~ I was hoping to go to the Bangkok one instead, damnit! I suppose a possible show in Beijing would be at an even later time than these?
-
Does anyone know how to collect the ticket once you have remit the money?
Cos my friend email them some queries, they replied with ticket purchase information as shown on their website without answering any of his questions.
-
hmm i want to go ....

Tokyo Sports revealed there's some argument between Heath and his management
i read from my local x-forum that....the Korean Live would be cancelled and it will be announced soon.....................
http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/
http://narinari.com/Nd/20090311280.html
Tokyo sports is notorious for making fake news....
but anyone know what's going on ????
-
Better don't take Tokyo Sports that seriously... Plus, The Korea Herald just published an interview with Yoshiki about the lives.
-
there is a bit more talk about this on Screaming Kiai's forum under the news section :
http://freeforums.bizhat.com/index.php?mforum=screamingKIAI&showtopic=8&st=390
While at this point we are only talking about rumors, it does look like there is something going on. Let's all hope for a happy ending..
-
they're really postponed
-
ppl in my local x forum said they called the Korean Live ticket box and the staff confirmed the news re: cancellation of concert will be announced tmr...........
finger-crossed its not true.......

-
So... are the rumours about Heath leaving true? I passed it off as mindless tabloid drivel at first but I'm seeing a LOT of comments from fans about it. This is utterly discouraging.
Also, AGAIN cancelling so close to the date? I hope you guys didn't buy plane tickets...
-
Nothing about Heath. Korean official site confirms there're problems with his contract, but it doesn't say anywhere that he's leaving.
-
Yea, I think it's all just issues with contracts and whatnot. I couldn't picture him wanting to leave.
-
Given how badly this "world tour" is going, I wouldn't blame him.
-
I am really not believing this ... this is not a world tour, this is a desaster :/
-
Is it both the Korean concert on 21st and 22nd (not just one), and also the two Tokyo Dome concerts on May 2nd and 3rd.
I just need it confirmed which dates so I don't post wrong information elsewhere.
-
^are you sure that td concerts are cancelled? i don't think so...
-
hi,
from what I get from the myspacepage and babbelfish the postponed the korea dates and the ticketsales for tokyo dome... so the tokyo dome could still happen...
Katrin
-
Don't know what to say about that. Things can go wrong and you may have to cancel a gig or maybe two, and maybe you have to cancel them again, but this really becomes ridiculous. Sucks for the people who planned to go to the gigs.

I read over on LJ http://community.livejournal.com/xjapan/288252.html (http://community.livejournal.com/xjapan/288252.html) that there is rumor that Heath's contract isn't... going right or something.
-
but problems with his management aren't a reason to quit X now are they?
and if this was serious, there would have been some official message by now (I hope)
>___<
Seems to me like it's important enough to cause the delay/potential cancellation of Korea's and even Tokyo's shows so... yeah, I can't help but be worried.
As much as I love X, the management of this world tour has been, so far, HORRIBLE... disgusting for fans...
-
This is really unsettling news...I hope that an update is posted soon so we can see if all of the worrying amounts to something. Personally, I tend to worry TOO much, so a break would be nice about now...but if it really is something serious, I hope it can and will be fixed. Soon.
-
The tour thing has been sheer chaos. And Yoshiki looks like he's suffering from it in some of the photos I've seen of him here recently.
-
Got a link to those pictures maybe, please? I totally suck at finding recent news.
-
According X Japan's official home page, the Korean lives, scheduled for 21st and 22nd March, as well as the ticket sales for the 2nd and 3rd May Tokyo Dome shows, scheduled to start tomorrow, have both been postponed for "various reasons". The Concert Management Committee apologizes to the fans affected and promises news regarding new schedules to be released as soon as they have been decided upon.

Hell Yeah, I'm 100% agreed with you ...
-
Update: According to The Korea Times (http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/art/2009/03/143_41237.html), IYESCOM Enterntainment, the local concert producer has confirmed that all the 10,000 tickets sold will be 100% refunded.
-
I slightly start to wonder if there's a little dwarf sitting somewhere, made up a horrible storyboard and wants to go through that with X now... >.>
-
What ze faaack.
Seriously. What the fuck, people. Is there any band in the world who has had a worse first world tour?
-
I doubt that... :(

Some time ago I would have said that Guns N' Roses World Tours are having the same problems, but now I have to say that compared to the X Japan World Tour EVERY Guns N' Roses Tour was a happy go lucky thing ;-)
-
Isn't that whole announcing and postponing thingie getting ridiculous by now. I mean, if they can't pull it off, they should have announced it at all.
X are about to loose all their credibility.
-
X are about to loose all their credibility.
They lost their credibility already months ago, in november... -_-
-
X are about to loose all their credibility.
Seconded. Man, I really hate to say this ... The management fucked up the world tour -_-'
-
The whole thing is so ridiculous that I don't really know of what I'm a fan.... *shakes head* Of a band that can't possibly play anywhere outside Japan without troubles and hundreds postponment. Somehow it seems like there's no real reason even hoping for other concerts ever happening. Bah...
-
I'd be surprised if any other concerts X had announced at Countdown GIG are going to take place.
They should really think of a way to make it up with us fans and at least release the next DVD box of the 4 boxes that had been announced in 2007.
-
I think it wouldn´t be so bad if there would be some kind of information for the fans, and not just "for various reasons". They want our money, they can give at least some real communication back for it. As a fan, who has to pay alot for concert tickets, train, hotel, etc. I feel alot ignored and not very valued atm. Without us fans, there would be no X. Maybe they should consider that for a second. Just in case the management hasn´t noticed so far.
-
I'm beginning to wonder if there is really any communication between the upper management (outside Yoshiki's influence) and the band. It seems like one part goes one way and the other buries it's head in cement.

Very good point.
The way things are going right now, I've been wondering if it had been better X hadn't reunited. Don't get me wrong. The shows X have done since their comeback were awesome, still all those issues about the world tour remain.
Maybe X should stick to a 2-3 Tokyo Dome live once a year. They could pull of those and everybody would be happy.
-
I was kind of "smiling" to myself when I read about this... (don't get me wrong)
as I lost count of how many shows they have postponed and cancelled. We should be happy
that we didn't have the Paris tickets in our hands and then all of a sudden, it's cancelled.
I am really pleased that I experienced the two nights in Hong Kong, it's just like I won a lottery.
When the Pairs shows were postponed, I used to think, well, Yoshiki's health is more important. When
the Bangkok show was postponed, I thought, well, maybe they are right not to go to Bangkok due to
the political situation. Then, when the Taiwan show was postponed, I thought, what the..... , and now, the Korea one.... speechless
Let us keep our fingers crossed and bless ourselves.
-
Well, I lost around 100 Euro for train and hotel reservations due to the cancellation of the Paris concert and had to put up a real fight to get the money for the tickets back from the German ticket agency. So I was totally put off with this mess and I will think twice if I will even bother to get tickets again - especially after all the cancellations and postponements that followed Paris. It didn´t help that Yoshiki posted his MySpace-excuse only in French, there were other people in Europe too who would have loved to come (and don´t understand French).
So I really think they should care a bit more about their organisation. Even if I feel totally sorry for Yoshiki, I really think he had done nothing to deserve this mess.
-
^ Lol, 100 euro isn't that much at all, you were lucky. I ended up spending just over USD $2000 for the NY concert. Sure, I did buy my tickets for the plane and accomodation earlier that was needed...way earlier...didn't even wait for a ticket earlier...but I don't have any regrets, NY was awesome.
But, I can understand how people can be pissed off, considering how many times this tour has been screwed up.
-
please understand that "The (new) X JAPAN Management" is the one who screwed up the World Tour , not Yoshiki or X JAPAN itself ...
yes, you can blame someone for it (the postponement, etc.), but the one who should be blame is The Management ...
that's what I think :p
-
At my home is a saying "Too many cooks spoil the soup" . I have the strong impression this is happening here.
-
Ba-Dil I have to say I agree with you... totally. but it is also very discouraging to see some fans placing more blame on Yoshiki alone than really where it should be.
Ashemanu - They have the same saying here too.
Another good saying that applies here... Too Many Chiefs and not enough Indians.
-
Hey hey - I think we should still be careful with any conclusions. In fact, we don't know much what's going on at the moment.
You blame the management, and I have the slight impression that is, because earlier last year, there was that trouble with the management changes, now there's some rumor (!) telling that there's some trouble with a contract (nobody knows what contract exactly is meant) of Heath. But who says whose fault it is? Really, I have no idea who is to blame for what exactly there. We don't even know what's the problem right now.
All we know is, that there's a big mess left.
As for the former postponements. Yeah okay, many people lost money. But that was their own risk - especcially for Paris, since in any way there were no tickets out for sale. Many fans (including myself) nevertheless ordered their train/plane tickets, booked a hotel room, and considereing the fact, that there were already a couple of postponements, everyone should have known that there was a possibility that the concert won't take place. Nevertheless, I don't regret that I had my train tickets already - and that money I lost (wasn't so much, but well, others could live a couple of days for that money) was a risk I knowingly took and for me, that was worth it. I don't regret it.
Now the Korea live was a tad different. It looked like it will really happen. And I feel sorry for both, the band and the fans that that's not the fact now. But what exactly do we know? Nothing - at least not enough to blame anyone for anything.
I'd be happy myself if there'd be at least some clarifying explanation, and I will go on waiting for that. But i think it's wasted energy to raise a fuss for things that happened already.
There are a lot of fans who so wish to see X live - at least once in their life. An to me, it would be worth another try to see a concert. So yeah, i'd do it once again! xD
-
Exactly Maverick, you're right. And in those cases where travel plans were already made... go ahead and make the trip. Have a blast... you catch my drift?
(going on a poker theme here) Just think for a moment... The stakes are high, but I bet there's an Ace in the hole.
-
haha, nice way to see it XD
-
It seems to be the same story all the time though. Management conflict/issues/problems. Why can't this "management" pull their heads out of their asses and do something right?
-
So has Korea got another date yet?
