Ya'll know that X is being ridiculously inactive and all members are refraining from talking about the band from a while, which is ofc SKETCHY AF. The decade-delayed album aside, most of us know that there was some internal mess within members, especially Toshi since 2018 which allegedly is delaying X activity. This claim is further concreted by the fact that he basically unfollowed or removed any X related things from his social media and his personal website. This is concerning af so i rambled around and talk to some people over there in japan and they made some crazy claims, and everyone is telling me the same story so yep...it is kinda uh..idk, credible?
Basically according to them the main culprit behind the mess is Toshi. The BS started when Toshi allegedly demanded more money to perform in Lunatic Fest 2018 and in the end X couldnt perform. This supposedly pissed Pata off and he got into a argument with Toshi, Yoshiki somehow stopped the fight and they continued to perform in later shows like 3days Makuhari Messe and Dream festival 2018, supposedly high tension between bandmembers resulted in visible bad enviroment on stage during these performances.
Pata, still pissed after Toshi's comments on the Red Swan incident got into argument with Toshi again supposedly and this time when Yoshiki tried to break it up, Toshi got very mad at yoshiki. Yoshiki again somehow managed to get them together mid 2019 but Toshi allegedly demanded a break to record-release and promote his new album I AM A SINGER 2. This pretty much climaxed the mess and Pata refused to perform or even talk to Toshi again and Yoshiki low-key got mad, so Toshi noped the fuck out of anything related by X japan. (Pata follows every X member on social media except Toshi, Toshi never replies to birthday wishes or wishes anything with other X members and never took pics with them after these incidents, which according to those who told me these rumors, is a credible proof)
Of course theres no way to confirm these, but being a sensible Xfreak it was my duty to report the rumors here.
Anyways its depressing af
