Finally the LIVE at Tokyo Dome is confirmed !!!
I would realli realli want to go to the lives at Tokyo....
Does anybody know how could ppl living outside Japan get a ticket for the concert ??
Are there any popular ''unofficial seller'' ???
Is it possible for us to order the tix through the internet ???
Be truly grateful if any one could help !!!
-
when I was at the HK shows, I talked with some people who went to the 3 days live last year, they told me that they got the tickets at yahoo.jp auctions. (after the tickets were officially sold out)
I remember some X freaks from Germany went to the shows in Tokyo last year, hopefully they will answer your question :-) won't you prefer to go to the Taiwai one also?? wish you luck :-)
-
oh thank you magucathy !!!
if possible...i realli wanna feel and enjoy x's music and fans passion at the tokyo dome !!!
so prefer the tokyo dome one to the taiwan one at the moment !!!
tix for taiwan show should be easier to get though........
-

Sorry, can't help you, there's no "unofficial seller" I'd know about. I bought my tickets via Japanese friend.
-
I bought my tickets via Einsof Marketing (?) as JRR linked to them. I suppose they only saved and sold tickets to foreigners because those were the first shows to be performed since reuniting. Still, I wouldn't consider it entirely impossible for it to happen again as they still haven't toured the west.
-
by the way, new song 'Blue Sky Heaven
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pPbkyP3oYg'
I am still waiting to see if I get tickets for the concerts as I will find out in a week. By then I will know if I need to bid online.
-
blue sky heaven, eh....reminds me of hide's blue sky complex song..
good luck with your tickets ^___^
-
Oh yeah, exactly my thoughts as well. thanks Menacia... I do hope I could get at least the first night's ticket although I am pretty impatient but nothing else I can do atm...
-
Blue Sky Heaven is a song by Yoshiki that he wrote for a weather forecast program, not for X or anything.
-
thanks for info Hypno. I didn't know about that.
-
Is it just me or does Blue Sky Heaven sound extremely similar to Endless Rain???
-
i have confirmed my flight to tokyo....
but i still cant got my ticket secured......
does anyone know...if i bid the tickets thru yahoo jp....how could u know the tix are not fake ????
and...for Einsof Marketing...is it an agent ?? does anyone has its website ??
thanks ppl !!
-
Einsof Marketing are the guys who run JRockRevolution. This is their website:
http://www.einsofmarketing.com/
Guess they aren't selling anything this time...
-
thanks very much AsukaMiyu ~ !!
oh....so i shall try yahoo auction this time...?? ><
any chance to get the tix on the concert day at the dome ??

Jacquien, you said you already confirmed your flight, so it might be late, but I don't think you actually have many chances of getting tickets...
For the 3Days lives last year there were International ticket sales, through JRR and JaME, because it was their first live in 10 years. This time it looks like there will be nothing like that.
In fact, this time it's harder to get tickets even for people in Japan, even for fan club members (only people who have been members for over 3 months can buy and only four tickets per person, regardless of the number of fan clubs they're in. That is, even if someone is a member of all fan clubs, they can't get the maximum 5x4 tickets, they only get 4)! There will be a public ticket sale starting on April 18th, but I think it wouldn't be at all surprising if all tickets will be sold out by then, through fan club reservations.
Online auctions are an option, but one I'd advise against. One, as you yourself said you can't know they're genuine and two, they will likely be insanely expensive. Same for buying on location on the day of the concert...
The only hope would be that tickets don't sell out through fan club reservations and then, IF you have a contact in Japan, you could have them buy you a ticket. But I think that's very unlikely (that = tickets not selling out).
Sorry, really, but I think you'd need a lot of luck to get tickets, unless you know some one in Japan (and even then, you'd still need luck) >.<
thank you KRazyJess for the very detailed info..................
my heart is........sinking.....................

realli..thx for the info !!
i juz read from other sites that some tix are being bidded to over 100,000 yen...
what a torture...for being in tokyo but coudnt get into the dome..........
>_<
-
actually those bidded over 100000yen are very very good seats, mostly block A Arena seats (ground floor) cos I am also looking at some Japanese sites and they are in row 12-15 so these have to be expensive. However i am not sure if Im going when I found out on Monday what seat I will get as my friend cant go with me and it's me again, going alone for the 4th and 5th concerts in a year. I expect a not so bad seat or i'd rather forego the seats and wait for Osaka outdoor concerts later as I might prefer to watch Ryuichi's concert in mid May...
jacquien i can ask for you to see if my friend has her money back yet or not so that she could transfer hers to you?
btw, Yoshiki's interview about bird nest and HK fans
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/kl3rsp9qZas/
-
holly.x, Thanks for the link.....
Don't really understand why the questions were in Chinese, then translated into English, Yoshiki answered in English and then his answer translated into Chinese again. it should be an interview for 10 mins.....but, poor Yoshiki, sat almost half a hour there, he was patient enough though....LOL and, she said hide (as in English, at around 13:14),
but not hi-de...... (didn't they do any homework??)
-
Got my tickets confirmed for both dates at last ----- *phew*
Now all I pray is that I got hide's side and pray that the 6th member is not Sugizo (cos I love LS as well). Anycase I will still accept him with open arms but still he is and always a LS member, first and foremost.
-
OMG OMG OMG! CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, holly.x !!!!!!!
I am SO SO HAPPY for you~~~~~
-
yeah thanks magucathy.
hope the concerts will be at least as good as their HK concerts in Jan. I will be at the Tokyo Dome very early to make sure I get all the concert goodies this time - it was 100X worse than what you experienced in HK
-
yes, surely they will have very nice goodies selling in Japan, I envy you so much!
(I just bought a T-shirt and a tote bag in HK)
since you will be in Tokyo, don't miss the chance to buy all X related stuff at Don Quijote..
oh... so jealous......
-
oh congratzzz holly.x !!!
i m still waiting for my frd's reply about the result of the draw................
nervous >< !
-
magucathy hehe i'm relieved now more than excited really as I can plan my itinerary properly. I will try to get all those things we couldnt find at HK concerts. I remembered local fans were already there at 7am (!) just to make sure they got to buy the goodies so I am gonna do the same as well XD
jacquien, why still the wait? the street army results are out at midnight.. you'd better check with your friends. Good luck anyway ^^
-
finally i also got my tix for may 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Great, I hope you enjoy! ;D
-
I have a ticket!!! ;D
It's on its way to me now! I've been tracking it on the Parcelforce site, and it was last tracked at Heathrow Airport! Just knowing it's in the same country as me makes me really happy! Especially since I had a nightmare about it last night, it got to the day of the concert and my ticket hadn't arrived ::)
-
Congrats jacquien and dreamaway!!
I am totally elated now watching the bootleg dvds XD... rehearsal to the next concerts methinks
-
i only know i got S seats...any one has any idea what S seats mean ?????
i read from some ppl's blog re: their experience of the 3 days live....they said S seats could be at the last row of the dome up above...............................( despite it's the most expensive tix )
so if S seats could be at the last row...where would the A seats locate ????
-
Jacquien, if I were you, I won't worry about where my seat is, the most important thing is to be there!!!! Congrats!
-
Jacquien, if I were you, I won't worry about where my seat is, the most important thing is to be there!!!! Congrats!
yup yup !!
i already feel very very lucky for being able to get into the dome ~~~
just curious :P ~

let's see if this helps you

Looks to me as if S is not a bad seat ^^ Grats, you are really lucky :)

My ticket came today!!!! Best 9am wakeup call I've ever had ;D I have a pretty good seat too! It's in the B section according to the seating chart darkcat posted, towards the left hand side.
And I don't know if anyone's seen this already, but there's a poll up on the official site asking which songs we want to hear them play live.

wow !!!!!!!!!! B sectino is realli cool !!

I had to go through a buyer and get it off the Yahoo Japan auctions. It was pretty expensive, but there were a lot of tickets for the same price that were a lot further away. :)

i have some updates re my situation >< ''
i juz knew my friend got into the draw too and now she got 2 tickets for 5/2......
so now i got 2 tickets each for 5/2 and 5/3 ( look perfect isnt it.....)
yet...due to my limited budget...i should not be able to afford going to both concerts ...
my preference would be going to the 5/2 one...
so...if any one ( or you know anyone) is looking for a pair of X concert tickets ....
please kindly let me know.... ~~
thanks ~~
-
I sent you pm, jacquien~
..I've been so active here.. not. Back to subject. I'll try to be at Tokyo Dome on May with my sister. The only problem right know is the tickets. My Japanese friend tries to get those but she (and me...) doubt she can get those. We'll see...

Hi Ashura ~ i sent you a message too, please kindly check.
flight ticket prices are dropping ><
i regret for booking the flight too early !!!
-
jacquien congrats you get to watch them at Tokyo Dome live!! now pray that they dont postpone the concerts...you know Heath's having contract issues so it's still unsure..
-
I don't think they will postpone the shows at Tokyo Dome, considering the show is on May 2......
(am I correct that they just postponed all the shows OUTSIDE of Japan? or, did they also postpone some shows in Japan???)
-
nope they didnt postpone their HK concerts ..xP
I am reading a lot of rumors regarding the concerts and seriously I dont think they dare postpone their japan concerts but just it's getting a little worrying. the taiwan concert has not sold out yet as of today..
-
holly.x
sorry, my mistakes.... I thought everyone knows about the HK shows did take place, I should write more precisely ;D
what you wrote is exactly what I have in mind ;) I don't think they dare postpone any Japan concert.....
-
Thanks to jacquien I have tickets for the first night and I'm also trying to get to the second night.. I'm so exited!! *______________*
-
Looks like the TD shows are already sold out... that's what they say at least on Sanspo and Nikkan... Oo'
As for the japanese concerts... since the reunion they didn't postpone any shows in Japan

Seriously I am getting fed up with all this shit ...Heath is rumored to have left X Japan...the concerts might be postponed. Yoshiki is expected to return to Japan from LA soon .. (no rehearsal??)
http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2009/04/20/01.html
-
I won't believe that until Yoshiki confirms it.
edit//
Whooo, official concert goodies~ *_________________________* http://xjapan.cyp.co.jp/tour/
-
Awww those looks great! *Q*
Choco crunch? very interesting items they have there.... XD
But the X with the roses looks really nice!
and big LOL at "Worldtour in Japan" :P
and ??? about the crosses everywhere this time... o_o
-
I want the chopsticks!
-
I'm going to be very poor after this is over... :D I love the second shirt... and that phone strap.
By the way, FDJP just confirmed that I got the tickets for 5/3 concert. <3 *__________*
-
Congrats, Ashura!
Hope you'll have lots of fun at the concerts. :D
(And at X-item-shopping...! XD )
-
Those t-shirts looks really nice. *_*
-
Those t-shirts looks really nice. *_*
Exept for the last one. >DDD It's.. not very X. 8'DD
-
Haha the last shirt made me laugh XD That is SOOOO not X at ALL. :P
(more like... X-trance ? ee; )
-
maybe it's an indictation of how the new song's going to sound... XDDDDDD
DO NOT WANT!! XDDD Just imagining that.. noooo, no! xD ..I had totally forgotten about the new song. I can't wait to get to the concerts! x3
-
Lol yea, xD Except that last one.
-
last one looks to me like an a-nation shirt :-X
-
I don't like all those purple colored stuff that much, like the bandana, wristband etc..
I wish they had sticked to white and red, but that's just me...
And the T-shirts look awesome, esp. the first one.
-
what does the "SIX DOME SHOWS" on the towel mean ??
-
That counts also the other Dome shows (Not officially announced yet)they'll play, that are not held at Tokyo Dome.
-
X Japan chopstick??? chocolate cookie??? (hello, are we at the disneyland??)
but, all the t-shirts look great!
I like the picture of the poster book! (hide is in the middle, not Yoshiki!!)
-
Seriously I am not particularly interested in the goodies.. but then i am sure I would react differently when I am about to get them...XDD
I hope Yoshiki will sell a few more of his jewely collections like pendant which he did in HK
-
I want the wristband.... and the chopsticks, LOL... and a shirt, and a towel.
Fuck, I'm gonna need a loooooot of money XDD
(These goodies will be sold in the European lives too, right? ;D)
EDIT: i just noticed the "tokyo dome" on the stuff... sorreh. XDD
-
I tried getting the tickets via uticket.. but it seems that the concert management is blocking all foreign credit cards.. now my may 2nd and may 3rd tickets are all gone :(

no fair. D8
...One week and I should have everything packed and be ready to go to airport. o___o
-
It's this weekend!!! ;D Although I refuse to let myself believe it's actually happening until I'm sat inside the Tokyo Dome.
I set off for Tokyo on Thursday, it's my first time there so I'm really excited!
-
Why are you all so lucky? T_T I can't wait to go to Japan next year...
-
Have fun, you guys that are going! Maybe give us a report on how it was when you come back? :D
(And bring back some X chopsticks!)
-
Finally feeling a bit excited...will be off for Tokyo early tomorrow morning. Hope i could write a little about the concerts as I will bring my notebook with me^^
A sidenote...Yoshiki and Toshi were in studio recording the new song till 5am... from the Yoshiki mobile staff repo today (was originally an English song, but then decided to change some of the lyrics to Japanese)
-
54 hours and I'll leave to the airport. *_*
I think I can give you some report on the way, I'll take my laptop with me. :D
"Hi, I found a wireless connection, I'm in Tokyo Dome right now. 8D" NOT. XD
-
54 hours and I'll leave to the airport. *_* "Hi, I found a wireless connection, I'm in Tokyo Dome right now. 8D" NOT. XD
that would be a good start XD.. dunno if I'd be already half dead as the concert goodies open for sale at 10am..I'd rather be there very early (i mean maybe 7ish) as I dont wanna pass out again (fell asleep before the concert) which starts at 6pm and knowing X Japan, a half hour delay is minimum *_*
-
I think I'll be there 9am at latest. I hope to be earlier but I reeeeally want to sleep well before the concert. hehehe, goodiiieeeessss~
-
Oh, I didn't know the merch was available that early! I'll probably be there at about 9ish then to pick up some stuff ;D
-
Good Luck to all of you who'll come to the concert ^^
so please, KIAIIRETE IKEE!!! (Show your spirit!)
XD
-
i have a friend going the 3rd i really wish i could go but she is going to buy me some goods tho so im Xcited about that.
-
yo ~~~
am sooo excited now ~~~
a few more hours to the airport !!
p.s. i still dunno where my seat will be ...haha...but yeah...tokyo dome i m coming !!
plus....thx ashura !!!
-
No prob jacquien, thanks to YOU for the tickets! :D ~15 hours and I'll be at Helsinki-Vantaa airport. *__*
Doing a shoplist now.. it's looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong. ..My wallet is screaming for help. BD
-
Hi, I'm new here and a read only member always, but I'd like to let you who are going to come to Japan know this :)
You can get ROSA of Violet UK or any tunes you want at Japanese iTunes store with iTunes Japanese card.
iTunes card is available at convenience store like seven-eleven in Japan. It cost 1,500 yen, 3,000 yen, 5,000 yen(three kinds).
You can take an account at Japanese iTunes store with it.
You need an japanese address for registration, but it is ok even the hotel address you'll stay.
And of course you can use the iTunes Japanese card after you come back to your country ;)
-
My wallet is 'bleeding' badly already having spent only the 2nd day here in Tokyo. I have not even visited Donki and Tokyu Hands, most importantly I'd probably will spend about 30000yen on the concert merchandise O_o..well at least I have tried some great Japanese food (for comfort) XD...
ok maybe I should get ROSA while I am staying here ...yay
-
Sounds like you are having so much fun! I'm jealous!
-
Argh I'm sooo jealous of everybody who's traveling to Tokyo to see the show!!! Oh well I'm gunna keep my fingers crossed for them to come to the states soon!!!
-
Hello, im also travel to going live concert of those guys.
and i go it tickets, one hopefully in front of them ;)

that's all
-
....A10??? WHOA. That's SO close to the stage. *_____________* I've got D.
I'm sooooooo tired now. 10 hours flight and there was some child screaming half of the flight.... I spent the day in Harajuku and I'm so ready to go to bed... Thought I have to visit Akihabara and maybe Shibuya today. And my sister doesn't want to wake up for that and I wouldn't like going alone... Tomorrow the concert. o_o
-
I got a stadium seat at hide side on May2 which has a very good view , and I got Arena B at Pata side on 3rd! Wow never thought I could be watching from Arena !!! Wow I'm gonna be so thrilled esp when Toshi sceam A-LIN-LAAA (Arena)
I am so frigging exhausted already yet still need to wake up so early just to buy the concert goods...man I want 2 kickass concerts $%(U#)^@#
-
I went to sleep at 5:30pm, I thought that that way I can get enough sleep.. But a woke up ~1 hour ago (1:00am) here. :D Fail. I'll soon try to sleep again and then wake up at 6:00, eat breakfast and to the DOOOOME!
-
I m so envious of u folks who r going. I saw HK Live which was Wow!!! but it's not the same - Tokyo Dome is their home !
Well, have a good time. I know you will.
-
well, just wake up and taking a breakfast to going at buy merchandising! :D(my wallet ll cry)
-
that was a nice phrase by hide at the end!
"sora tobe tobe tobe tobe...
oretachi ga santa clause da"
-
anyway ... Happy hide Memorial Day 2009 ~We♥hide~ :D
Aah, the concert just some hours to go ...
and yeah, my friend told me that X is doing rehearsal at Tokyo Dome this morning n they will have a ceremonial pray to hide ...
my message for everybody who come to the concert:
Kyou wa, abarenbou Shogun de Ike yo!!!
-
Well it's gonna be an emotional night I believe..X Japan concert on May 2nd
Just got back from the Dome, man it was torture. I was there at 8 am and got my stuff at half 12... it's so hot as well. I couldnt get Sugizo Tee, no small size yoshikitty Tee, no yoshiki bara light and plushie...everything I want are fucking sold out... Behind me there was still a queue so long I didnt the end of it.

i have to said it, im so pretty tired of looong breaktimes and balads songs ::), the new song didnt like and was terrible perfomance of dahlia
-
messi = i guess u need to listen couple more of times, with the lyrics in front of u, it was such a nice dramatic song. but still depend on u to judge
-
@holly.X
Could you please scan the pamphlet and share it with us? :)
-
the photos from the pamphlet are indeed very beautiful, but its pointless to upload some smaller ones as most were taken from the reunion concerts last year but with much better quality both in photos and paper. I will try if I have more time though 8)
-
holly.x you can't link pictures from your computer, you have to upload them somewhere :)
-
holly.x you can't link pictures from your computer, you have to upload them somewhere :)
yeah thanks I was too distressed to see the Manc won the league... *cries*

btw, Hypno why can't I upload a photo even it's smaller than 128K as I tried earlier?
edit: there's a message that "the upload folder is full"...hmm
-

I was wishing for a TS version of the TV broadcasts. This probably wont happen now.
Those versions on JPS are the dmm, which if you remember last years lives, ain't that great....

-
bit comet ~
-
im using utorrent too and its working fine ive been seeding all morning not sure why its not working right now both are saying 54 and 55 seeders and over 300 leechers
-
I'm on uTorrent as well; I had the same problem with 0 seeds/leeches and I just deleted the file and re-downloaded it; it's working fine now. The file names are messed up though--5.2 is really supposed to be 5.3 and vice versa.
-
yup i got utorrent working now XD still dont have many seeds though only 5 for the 3rd and zip for 2nd o wells at least there working now. Thanks
-
Still doesn't work for me...I tried redownloading, downloading from jacquien 's links still nothing :(
-
i had problems with tracker timeouts. If torrent icon turns red than do a forced tracker update and/or be patient.
oh, and the quality of the show is actually pretty good :D
-
I had to wait 32 hours before it got started because i've never seeded anything... Now i've gotta wait for 16 hours... check the Trackers icon in µtorrent ^^
-
omg thanks so much. The 2/5 one went pretty fast to dl

I'm using uTorrent, and as of lately have some problems with it (doesn't want to download than it sudenly downloads with über speed but larger files(conecerts) usually stay at 0% for months)
-
what version of utorrent are you using?
I'm on 1.8.2 and it's working great.
Are you behind a router?
Did you set a big enough port range for incoming connections.

1.8.2 version, behind router, don't know about last one
-
usually default port range should be enough.
check if you have ports forwarded correctly on your router.
Do you have connection problem to tracker or peers. JPS tracker is sometimes heavily loaded and can have some probs connecting.
-
about port forwarding, i cannot forward them
in the tracer tab in uTorrent it says the conection to server is not established and DHT, local peer discovery and peer exchange aren't allowed
i didn't have problems with this before, it just sudenly happened (no p2p works for me, no online games, no msn etc.) i treied formating disk, it's still didn't help, but on other PC connection works like it should be(hardware problem?)

yea.. the first show is actually named as the second show while the second show is named as the first show. he mixed up the names. :)
-
I watched 5/3 last night, imo its the most emotional X-Japan concert next to the last live.
-
I watched both lives the past 2 days and even though I was expecting the May 2nd one to be better, the May 3rd one was actually a lot better....XD
I dunno why. Though, I think Yoshiki looked tired at some parts...hmm.
Aaaanyway, I was wondering......the videos they showed during Without You.
Does anyone know if they are from official video releases and if yes, can you list them?..(youtube links work as well...XD)
I have seen some of them and probably have some of the videos (from random downloads or original DVDs) but not the ones I wanted to watch clearer...^^;
-
Who are the people who get on stage at the start of I.V. during the 5/3 gig?? I don't think I've heard the Tokyo Dome so quiet...
-
I don't think I've heard the Tokyo Dome so quiet...
I agree... I think the fans now are nowhere near as wild and loud as the old fans.
Still, great performances.
-
theyre korean and french fans...X is apologizing to them

Yoshikitty is awsome.
Thanks for the links =)
-
Maybe there were not so much fans, because of the "hide memorial day".
To be sincere, these were the worst X performances that I ever saw. Yoshiki misses A LOT, Toshi should take care of his voice, Sugizo being member doesn't change NOTHING, he almost doesn't play and hide still appears more than the 5 alive members.
Maybe some people are getting tired of going to concerts to see "live performances" and there was The Last Live recordings on the screens while 5 another randoms are on the stage.
-
i dissagree they keep getting better and better sugizo's part was huge guess you cant make everyone happy.
im streaming the 3rd now if you wanna see im at http://www.justin.tv/breeze316 access code is "zombie
-
i dissagree they keep getting better and better sugizo's part was huge guess you cant make everyone happy.
Maybe 'huge' compared to some of the previous shows, but there are still many guitarsolos which aren't played live.
-
thats because hide's still a member there for he still gets his solos which should only be played by him i dont want sugizo to play hide's solos there hide's.
-
how many times will you repeat the stupid thing of the broadcasts?
and hide is not a member, he's dead, corpses can't play guitar and somebody should do it instead of him and this is sugizo
-
he's dead, corpses can't play guitar and somebody should do it instead of him and this is sugizo
+ Sugizo already took over some solos, but if they are willing to continue touring (and maybe releasing some new songs) the live-concerts should really be 'live', at least that's my opinion.
-
and hide is not a member, he's dead, corpses can't play guitar and somebody should do it instead of him and this is sugizo
exactly what I think. I mean, if we want to watch hide we still got plenty of old and great X Japan lives.
New X Japan has a new guitarist and should make real good use of it.
-
i know how you guys feel but look at it this way this is probably gonna be X's last concerts after the world tour i think thats it. they probably want to end with hide and he still is a member look at there site it still says member and at concerts he is still announced as a member. so i think X still believes hes a member.

hide stil being a member is just for hide fans to come to their lives.
Sugizo shoud do solos but not hide's but his own.

Since everyone has posted their opinmion so far....I'lkl go ahead and post mine too.
I'm actually happy with hide stillbeing called a member, still being announced as a member in the concerts, still being shown on screens etc etc.
I do want to see some more of Sugizo playing but then again, I don't necessarily want to see less of hide.
I want to see Sugizo playing the solos in the new songs and as far as the old ones go they can have him playing in half of them and have the live recordings in the other half.
Or something like that.
Call me an idiot who sees things in a very romantic and unrealistoc way but I want hide to still be a member of the band even if he is dead.
I think he deserves it, jusyt as much as Sugizo deserves credit for who he is and not for 'the guitarist who replaced hide'. Therefore I think that him being called a sixth member is the best case. (IMHO.)
Also, I really hate it when people start saying that X or Yoshiki mention hide all the time because of the money etc.
I guess everyone will have their own opinion but I strongly believe this is not the case. I don't think that they woul;d want to leave hide back themselves. And more than trying to get more people in the lives for money, as some suggested, I think they are trying to please as much people as it is possible. (And no, that doesn't equal money, not in my head at least.)
All this time, for every person O have heard saying 'no more hide, let X continue on their way and leave him on the past' there has been at least one more person saying 'hide should still be a member' or even in extreme cases 'we don'tr want X without hide.'
I suppose when you are standing in the spotlight you just can't please everyone.
I wish people would apreciate their efforts to please both sides instead of critisizing them the whole time...:-/
(Though, yes, criticizing is also good some times....I just don't like seeing this specific argument go one for ever...^^;;;).
Anyway, those were my 2 cents on the subject...~
-
They've said from the very beginning that they would do this World Tour with hide. I don't see why everyone seems so surprised that even though Sugizo's been confirmed as the 6th member, we still have lots of hide. I'm not saying it's right, but they said they would do it, so why expect something different?
After the Tokyo Dome lives last year, I too thought there was too much hide. I also think that Sugizo deserves to play more, since they made him a member. But I don't think the amount of hide stuff (recordings, video footage) to decrease dramatically. At least not until they say: OK, this is the last live of this World Tour.
I don't like people suggesting they're having hide stuff just to get hide fans to attend lives or to get their money or some such thing. IMO, that's total crap. X have plenty of X fans who would gladly fill up arenas without the help of hide fans. Plus I wouldn't be so sure hide fans would come to a live just to see him on the screen or hear his solos recorded. They can just as well do that at home.
As for why some would prefer the original hide recordings to Sugizo's live renditions of the solos, it might have something to do with the fact that hide's solos aren't very much Sugizo's style. So even while he'd most likely play them perfectly from a technical point of view, the feeling might be different. This is just a guess, though.
But anyway, Sugizo is the SIXth member of X, not fifth. He's not replacing hide, so I don't see why everyone assumes he would be taking over all of hide's parts as if he was replacing him. hide's here to stay, dead or alive, whether we like it or not. If I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the day when there won't be any recordings of hide in lives anymore...
you said it pefectly i agree 100% with you. and i dont think sugizo wants to replace hide.

And everyone has the right to like or dislike something, but when all people do is point out bad things and all they do is criticize, it gets annoying. (and that's more about X fans now in general, not necessarily here)
Couldn´t agree more with you ...
-
i thought the opening to Kurenai was awesome. its not like there not changing anything. imaging tho sugizo doing the beginning of rose of pain i get chills thinking of how awesome it would sound. anyway i think they are doing there best. and when they come to the US i hope they play a crap load of hide footage.
-
Someone on the Kurenai video of the May 2nd concert on youtube suggested an alternate version of the Art of life opening with Sugizo doing a Violin version of it, that would be awesome too.
I definelty want hide to remain as part of X-Japan however they need to start using more variety in their clips, for example, since they reunited I don't think they've used any other hide clip for the Rusty Nail solo then the last live one, and it was starting to get very irritating, luckily at the May 2nd and 3rd concerts they played it down slightly, they used the last live clips again but from different angles, and didn't show the clips as much.
But they need to start using all the performances of it from 1994-1997, and with songs like Kurenai and Weekend they should use tons of clips from 1992-1997, and keep changing them up every time. For guitar solos, they could use one clip for several concerts, but each time use different versions that have different camera angles, they need to mix it up a bit more so it wont be repetative.
hide's "tobe, tobe, tobe, tobe, tobe" moment during X needs to use different versions and stop ending with the one from 1992/1993, those are getting repetative now imo.
I also agree with roseofpain84, they should have Sugizo playing one half of a song and hide playing the other half, or half the songs with hide playing the solos, and the other half with Sugizo playing them.
-
I agree about them needing a variety of clips.
I don't know...I was wondering if they are using those all the time because they match better with the way the rest of the members are playing now?
Or maybe because hide's appearence on those matches better with the appearence the band has now?
About the 'tobe, tobe, tobe' part....I really liked how in this year's lives they showed clips of it from various lives. They didn't do this last year, right? Or did I simply forget it??
-
No, them showing several "tobe tobe tobe" moments at once has only been done this year.
Really I think all of hide's looks including the ones from 1995-1997 were basically just as far away from the other member's looks from that period as his looks from 87-94, so imo if they can show 1997 hide with the current band they can show hide clips from 1992, they did it with Blue Blood at the countdown gig.
-
My personal theory on the whole Sugizo not doing the solos for certain songs thing is that perhaps hide may have wrote that specific section of the song despite the fact that the song as a whole may have been written by Yoshiki, therefore the solos are hide recordings out of respect to hide.
And if thats the case then I have no problem with Sugizo not doing those particular solos.

Solos are, of course, written by hide; but still Jun had his own solo for kurenai, so why wouldn't Sugizo has his?

Holy fuck, I didn't think that the hide fantards are so much.
I like hide. I really like hide. But I like X more than hide, they are making me get tired of so much hide and I think that X could continue without hide. Holy shit, there is any other band in the world that keeps repeating the same shitty playback EVERY FUCKING CONCERT just because a member is dead? They need a guitarist, they NOW HAVE a guitarist, and they DON'T FUCKING LET HIM PLAY, because a lot of fantards like to see the same fucking playback again and again and spend a fucking lot of money to see the same shit again.
I was running to renew my US Visa, I though I can go to LA to see the X concert there. I won't go anymore. If I want to see the Last Live DVD, I will see the Last Live DVD at home, at least I won't spent a lot of money.
X is A BAND, and NOT hide. X has 5 members, 5 ALIVE members. Why ONE dead guitarist is more important than the other members? Why ONE DEAD guitarist is more important than THE BAND? This doesn't make any sense.
If X returned to play like THIS SHIT, with a lot of mistakes, the same setlist of Dahlia Tour, Fashion Shows and playbacks, they should end again, or dismiss Sugizo and change the name from "X JAPAN" to "hide Tribute Playback Band".
They can do LIVE CONCERTS, they SHOULD do LIVE CONCERTS. Why they need to make every fucking concert be a "hide Tribute Concert"?
I totally agree with darkcat. Corpses don't play guitar. Let Sugizo take his fucking place and play.

1st. sugizo dosnt want to take hide's place
2nd. i belive there doing this so hide is with them during the world tour. if you dont want to go thats ok im sure theres thousands that will take there place. i for one who has never seen X live want to see hide on screen. that way it feels alittle more like he's there. and who cares what the set list is really. just the chance to see them is good enough for me. just because you have seen them more than once dosnt mean everyone else has.
3rd. maybe thats what they want. it is there band so if yoshiki wants lots of hide on screen than thats whats gonna happen. im sure if yoshiki or toshi died they would do the same. they are gonna do what they want when they want no amount of complaining from anyone is gonna change that. so you could just sit ther and complain or you can just sit back and enjoy the awesomness of X. its up to you.
me as a X fan and i guess a hidetard (whats next toshitard or yoshitard)am gonna enjoy them and scream my ass off when i see them IN NY and LA
and if you any fan of hide you would never talk about his fans like that its so childish and im surprised anyone on here feels like this. you just offended every hide fan.
oh this tour is the 1st time they are playing outside japan. so the setlist is new to everyone except people who have seen them in japan. so speak for yourself.
-
just watch the concert 5-3-09. i like I.V orchestra during X Japan member got roses from lucky french and korean people.
-
"Sugizo doesn't want to take hide's place." Fuck this shit, a REAL band needs an ALIVE guitarist. Sugizo was the best choice they could ever do to be the new guitarist, but THEY NEED a guitarist, they don't want to be serious with all these playbacks and Yoshikittis shit. This is ridiculous.
It was a good tribute to hide the hologram on 2008, the hide Memorial Summit. They playbacks would be a beautiful tribute, if they were user ONCE. Each concert being a hide tribute concert is repetitive, boring, even ofensive to hide, a lot of hide on each concert to make even more money to Hiroshi Matsumoto and Yoshiki.
-
well to bad they want hide with them during the world tour. maybe if they do another tour after this they will take out hide but for now they want him with them. if you dont like it oh well nothing is gonna change.Sugizo will get more play time but not yet. for now its gonna be the same. and im fine with that.
-
@Joker
You are being offensive towards hide fans with that attitude. Please take some people's different values and feelings from you into more consideration.
-
where's the offense? i'm a big hide fan and i don't find his words offensive, he's just telling the truth: HIDE IS DEAD, he's smelling really bad now, and isn't able to perform, therefore, somebody has to take his place, like in everysingle band in the world
-

well i do find this offensive. You may not, but i do. I have no problems with Sugizo , i love him, but i still want hide's references there.
And X Japan is X Japan THE WAY THEY ARE.
Yes, together with their little ghost guitarist.
And some people LIKE this. And it seems that X Japan like this as well. So i suggest that if you don't, go and and watch all the other bands in the world , as you mentioned
-
don't be confused, i want hide's references as well, but not in the way they're doing it
are you sure some people like this? people like their favourite band doing playbacks in every single concert? i wouldn't
-
Well, i like it. But after all, if you wanted live guitar, now you have it. Is it so damn annoying that you listen to Sugizo's AND hide's too?
and well, just to avoid misunderstanding, when i said "offensive" i didn't mean that, you were offensive because you and Joker stated that hide is dead.He is, we all know that.
It was your attitude. Some people may actually be sensitive to such things, so things like " corpses don't play guitar" or "he smells really bad now" can actually be avoided for the sake of some people's feelings don't you think?
-
I agree.. the band repetitively stressed out that they want hide with them in this world tour.. that's why he still play most of the lead solos via playbacks + hide clips. That's how they want to incorporate hide in this world tour so we can't really do anything about it. However, I've read other people suggest better alternative that could give Sugizo more playtime and give hide the recognition he deserves. They can have hide play Scars, plus any of his song with Pata like they did in Tokyo Dome recently. Keep him to say the 'tobe tobe' part during X and have him play a solo part in AoL.. but leave the rest to Sugizo. (really if he was any other guitarist, it would be a slap on his face to be the lead but rarely plays the lead at all.. but not this guy, he's doing his friend a favor)
The problem is, a lot of fans see it as Sugizo replacing hide.
It's not about replacing hide's fame or charisma because I'm sure it was never Sugizo's intention. If you believe this to be the case, then there shouldn't be any problem with Sugizo playing the lead parts because he's playing it not just because he's a new member of X Japan but also, out of respect for hide :)
-
~I know, i know and I really like the fact that Sugizo is in the band, and he can have more guitar leads too. I was never one of those who thought that Sugizo is "replacing hide" and i know that he respects him. 8)
My problem was the the attack towards some fans's feelings with the attitude i mentioned. Plus, even if i totally love Sugizo playing more leads etc, i still don't want hide to completely disappear because he's dead.
-
really if he was any other guitarist, it would be a slap on his face to be the lead but rarely plays the lead at all.. but not this guy, he's doing his friend a favor
very much agreed
-
Yu~kun & freshtofu: I agree with you.
surely, everyone has his own opinion, that's why we have this forum to discuss what we think. It's really okay that some people like to see more hide or less hide on the stage. Personally, I am happy with what they are doing at the moment. I don't really care about the setlist (except for VUK, I don't really think it fits in....) I am just too happy to see X Japan again after all these years.
Joker: 1) hide wanted to go overseas 2) the concerts will still be full with or without hide's clips and playbacks

More importantly, what they intended to do in the first place when they reunited was to ""add" one more member to play parts where they thought a new member would be better than just using hide's playback and then there are parts where almost everybody would love to see hide (ie, intro of Kurenai) as he is still being counted as a member as the band can keep moving forward esp having new song like IV and Jade.
híde's name would not have been even mentioned if Sugizo has 'replaced' him which I believe no one in the band would ever think of that. it's not just music as to keep hide's playback is a sentimental reason more than anything.

pff, i don't agre with magucathy, freshtofu or any of those users, but i'd never tell them to shut up

Well, to be honest, when someone is calling all the hide fans inside here "fantards", i think he/she is insulting them quite directly
-
i'm a hide fan and i don't feel insulted :D
-
well i am.
or maybe it doesn't matter if i am
-
Yu~Kun ... maybe see it like this ... some peoples' attitudes, or the way they word them, are simply not worth the energy to feel insulted. Roll your eyes and just forget about them. The important thing is how you feel, and not some others.
-
well i am.
or maybe it doesn't matter if i am
it does matter and i found it very offensive and what pinku said i found funny. and i think that joker should. theres to much ignorance everywheres else it doesnt need to be here too. calling hide fans hidetards is extremly offensive so is half the other crap that was said by the others. what do you think X would feel if they read this crap or say one of hides family members. its not very likely to happen but still i think they would find it to be offensive. but most important i think hide would take offense. how can you call yourselfs hide fans when you talk like that.
-
So.....X Japan World Tour anyone....?

I am a hide fan. I am not a fantard.
There are a fucking lot of hide fans everywhere. I never said that all of them are fantards.

more offensive is to pay 100 euros to see and listen something you have thousand times
-
I am not taking part in the discussion because I don't thin it's relevant to the topic....
Can't we all just get along? ::)
-
:D Somehow, I've missed these kinds of discussion or should I say, arguments? It's been quite
a while that this board has become alive with differing opinions.
anyways... we are all free to say what we want and those who took offense by the meaning
of others, well... i hope you just stay in the site, not disappear, and howler to those who offended
you!!!!
no matter what... I LOVE hide ;)
and like what MC said "So.....X Japan World Tour anyone....?"
-
I bruise easily. Incase no one's noticed. I mean i love this forum but topics tend to almost always turn into somekind of battlefield for some reason.
Why?
I tried hard not to post much, obviously cos most you hate my guts. But i, at that moment, was just at my most honest to what i feel about all the BS he was implying. And honestly i dont intend to make my whole point cos others have already said it.
I'm a hide fan besides X, having said that, X is not the same without him nor will there be any to talk or say or whatever about hide without X. Cos that's where he bloomed. Sugizo will not replace him, and they were good friends too! Sugizo will freak out of all these if he knew what BS others have in mind.
And how many times should it be said to give some peace to hide?
Additionally, i dont see why hide fans should be called fantards. Why? Cos we watch a replay of him all over again all the time? We trapped in the past with him? hide is part of our sanity as well as what X or Sugizo have been to the rest of you.
And wha--- HIDE IS DEAD . . . ?
Honestly does that guy think we hide fans haven't got that sunk into our heads! ! !
Every year hurts because of that fact. And every year we try to come in terms of what can never be. For 11 years! And all we are to some are fantards? Get a life, joker! That's pure insult. And you deserve what you just got from me.
Everyone was thinking it, i just said it!
The rest: whatever!
Last post from me.
Get back to the topic for all i care, but i kind of see this to go on just a little bit more...
Which i will try best to just ignore, like what should've been.
. . .
-
i don't see why this discussion is off-topic, during these concert they still used hide playbacks
1- i don't care about your life
2- it's not about sugizo replacing hide, it's about a guitarist replacing a guitarist
3- some peace to hide? they're commercially exploiting his image
-

that's the ignorance we are talking about. i love this site and the ones that know me know how much i do. but few on here seem to piss me off. this wouldn't be happening if joker worded it right. why insult a bunch of fans when it wasn't needed. hide is everything for some and every X fan knows that. and as for replacing Yoshiki doesn't want hide replaced and Sugizo doesn't want to replace hide it seems that the only ones that want him replace are a hand full of people so it'll never happen.
and if you think like that then why bother to listen to them at all.
-
I totally agree with Wearex
plus, as I mentioned before, it's not that i'm paranoid and think that every thing you say is from another world.
It's the attitude that's insulting.
And even the way you continue to say all these is insluting.
Wtf, YES i would love to pay 100 euros to listen to playback!Because you know what?I've never seen an X gig!If you or other people have the chance to see their WHOLE world tour well sorry, i would be lucky if i had the chance to see half of ONE concert.
And many other people are like that too. So yes, X Japan will repeat themselves because of those fans and because it seems that those playbacks play an important role to their psychology.
Last but not least; This is the first time i've talked like this in this forum. I don't think i've created any problems before. but you know sth guys?Sometimes i'm human too, and when i feel offended i can't just roll my eyes or say "oops, off-topic" that easily.
To the rest that complained about the off-topicness, i'm sorry
-

Every concert of that tour is the same, except for a few songs or maybe Sugizo's contribution depending on if he's ill (like happened in Hong Kong). By now everyone should know that. If you have (illegally, as I'd dare to say 99% of you at least) downloaded the concerts and watched them, then that's your problem. As I and many others said earlier, this is a tour, even if the management seems to be quite bad for one, and the setlist won't change as much as you want it, as it's meant to be for different people each time. The only place I'd complain is two-day lives, which should have more variation (like happened in On the Verge of Destruction), but that seemed to be an exception rather. If you look at the setlists of their other lives (Aoi/Shiroi Yoru, March 2008 lives), they tend to be quite the same.
Also, they will use playbacks, no matter how much you want only Sugizo to play them. No amount of discussion here will change that.
And, if the insults here start going really personal, I won't hesitate to take action. I've been quite soft with the rules lately, but don't let your guard down!
-
~I know, i know and I really like the fact that Sugizo is in the band, and he can have more guitar leads too. I was never one of those who thought that Sugizo is "replacing hide" and i know that he respects him. 8)
My problem was the the attack towards some fans's feelings with the attitude i mentioned. Plus, even if i totally love Sugizo playing more leads etc, i still don't want hide to completely disappear because he's dead.
That's good, I really want it to be fair with everyone. But I don't know how Sugizo can have more exposure whilst he's playing the lead if hide's playbacks are there. But then again, I believe the recordings are going to stay for the remainder of this tour whether we like or not.
Anyway, I also don't want hide to disappear completely from the lives if they are to make changes in the future. I understand why they show him a lot in this tour.. it was hide's dream to perform overseas as well. But if they are to continue making music after this tour then I would like for the band to reach its full potential with their existing lineup. It's not to say they shouldn't include hide in their concerts anymore.. I'd be happy if there's at least one or two hide-centric songs.
As for the ugly remarks made by other users concerning hide's death, I believe what they said are very insulting and disrespectful as well.. not just for the fans but hide himself.
-
2- it's not about sugizo replacing hide, it's about a guitarist replacing a guitarist
3- some peace to hide? they're commercially exploiting his image
Again, I never called all the hide fans "fantards". I am a hide fan. I just think that now he is dead, he needs some respect. And I don't think that what X is doing is respectful to him.
I know about a tour. The setlist will not change, I guess everybody here knows. They are playing for different people, they will show the same work to everyone on each place they go.
That's the point. Nobody wants to "replace hide", but replace "the guitarist spot".
Peace to hide is the only thing that X is not giving. They are insanely exploiting his image comercially. While the hide fans are crying for him, Yoshiki and Hiroshi Matsumoto are swimming in their money.
-
I guess 'respect' means different things to different people.
And I guess that people express it differently as well.
For all my opinion worths (and I know it's not much), I don't think that Yoshiki is exploiting hide.
Unless you tell me he gets money from Headwax and all the hide merchandise then, his actions do not look to me like the actions of someone who only cares for money.
Then again, maybe that's just how I see it.
As fpr the whole replacing thing.
Well, I am gonna repeat that I,for once, do not want him replaced and I'd be happy if half the songs were played by Sugizo and some by hide (via old recordings).
Well, it seems it's simply not possible to please everyone either way...XD
-
I think that even if X would stop with all the hide playbacks, holograms and everything, they'd have fully sold-out concerts. At least in Japan. Their DVD sales might drop slightly, but the question when the post-reunion shows get on DVD is another one.
Anyway, although what they do might seem like using hide commercially (I really do understand why people might think so), unless significant addition to the money income is generated by using hide as much as they do now, it really can't be viewed as such. Besides, if we look at the hologram for example, I'm quite sure it cost them a lot more than it profited them, in terms of money.
-
To add more on two previous posts above, everything they've shown so far about hide is X/X Japan-related. It's not like they started showing more private.. never before seen footages and pictures of hide in the concerts.
-
ano ne,I'd like to give my 2cents,mostly I agreed with freshtofu,magucathy and roseofpain84...
hide will always be included in every concert and sugizo only there to help not to replace,beside that's why it is called 6th member not 5th...and sugizo already said that on his blog that he joined x because he wanted to help hide and X to fulfill their dream to go overseas,so what's the big deal here...
so yes,they're going and will always use hide playbacks,and sugizo only played some songs and background,and I believe it will stay like that until the end...
and who knows maybe that's why Heath problem was solved,cause maybe Yoshiki said to Heath something like this "come on Heath,let's finish all these,let's fulfill hide's wish,it won't take long,so hang in there",and Heath finally agreed to stayed,well who knows right?!?!
I think people should grateful that X still try to accomplish what has been left by hide,cause I honestly think that X won't still be here in say another 5-10 years,ok called me pessimist but I try to be realistic,right now I can only see that they only focusing to complete this world tour (just like hide's dream).So I think if X will make a concert in each of your country,don't waste the chance,I am just saying that cause so many people criticize...better treasuring the moment than no chance at all.

To anyone who complains about any aspect of one of X Japan's concert deserves a slap in my opinion. I would be 100% satisfied just to see them on a small little stage, singing one or two songs with not even half of the effort that they are putting in now. After basically coming back from the dead, after 10 years, throwing down the plans for a World Tour which I believe will be successful from here on out, and we've got whiners about the songs which they play, the way Toshi sings, hide playbacks (and to be damn honest, I hope they don't change this because I'd love to see hide all over the screens if I get to see them in concert.) To any true X Japan fan, this is our ultimate dream for them, to be successful on a global level. I'm eagerly waiting on the USA (hopefully still Madison Square Garden) plans to be announced soon. When they are, I'll be making my way there to give them full support and enjoy whatever they play and how they play it.

I completely agree, this is what I've been trying to say...
Couldn't have said it better.

supports
2 years ago...it was still sth looked impossible...a dream that seemed would never come true
for x to come back again...to be on the stage again...to rock the fans again...it's not sth that could be taken for granted
let's treasure and enjoy the moment ~
-
true! I remember lying awake at night and being sad because I would never be able to see them preform live!
And now.... I'm just so happy, they can't do anything wrong to me anymore :D (eXcept for cancelling lives, that is. >>;;)

Does someone know a link where I could buy the X JAPAN hashi (the sticks)? It was sold at the Tokyo Dome ^^ I'd really like to have it ;D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4OUARGrTQE&feature=related
I think the concert must've been on tv or something because this video of Jade on the 3rd has (for the majority) a ton of different camera angles then the ofiicial clips we've seen. I much prefer the camera angles in this video, the performance feels more epic, and it shows a lot more Sugizo, which he deserves being the new member of the band and all.
-
damn this video is pretty sweet much better camera angles
-
I believe that that same user has had his account deleted at least twice before because his channel looks similar and he has up some of the same videos.
-
Wow, epic!! Thanks so much for that link!
-
It says TBSch. in the corner, so I guess a channel called TBS aired it or something.

any tbs torrent? lol

Was trying to find some nice ENGLISH information about Ziggy and Juichi Morishige's other works when I cam across Joe's blog. Joe is the drummer for Ziggy and, more importantly, he was Spread Beavers drummer. Back to point, I found his blog with a picture of the World Tour Concert in Tokyo...(Don't know what day :P)....Apparently, he was invited to the VIP box....I wonder who else got an invite?

I wouldn't want to be in the V.I.P. box... you can't see anything from the stage! XD
If you want to enjoy X to the fullest, you should be in the front row! 8)
-
Well, I wouldn't wish to be in the V.I.P. box... you can't see annihilation from the stage! If you wish to adore X to the fullest, you should be in the foreground row!
Is it just me, or are there more and more random people on the forum nowadays, asking for download links and starting random, useless topics in places they shouldn't?......(Ignore the fact that this is a random comment in a place it shouldn't be.... :P)

I love these kinds of dumb spam comments... XD
