Some months ago, Sugizo released a single to help his friend Mick Karn, who was in treatment with an advanced stage of cancer
http://www.myspace.com/sugizo/blog/536848345

I was on Twitter a few minutes ago and saw "Mick Karn" on TT's. Mick Karn died today.
His site is currently offline (http://www.mickkarn.net/), but looks like there was a message there announcing.

[shane140]

Mick Karn was a brilliant musician until the end, "Japan" were an amazing band. RIP.

SUGIZO-FB The time to act 行動するべき時

Thank you, everyone.



I got over 1000 messages for the volunteer informaiton

after uploading my last diary.

Still getting everyday.

I needed some time for replying to everyone.

I am so sorry.

You guys are really awesome.

I realized you are filled with the soul for contributing to our society.

You just didn't know how to start and act.

You just needed any chance to step forward.



You are right.

Now is the time for us, everyone in oursociety to act together.

The time for everyone to act.

Restoration, revival, building our new society

and promotion of new energy politics.

I'm sure now is the time for Japan to shift everything after the war.

We should show our new and evolved attitude to the world

and take the lead.



In many volunteer message I got

I fould something like this.

"I really wish to join but it's not possible because I'm pregnantt now."

"It's not possible because I have small child and am busy for taking care of them."

"I wish to join but I'm still a student of primary high school."

First of all, I would like you to know.

The important thing is acting at your own pace, also with all your strength.

We all have our own role.

Of course, if you are pregnant, you should give highest priority to

your own health and the baby in your body.

If you have small child, you should give highest priority to taking care of them.

You should try your best for your most important thing.

Of course helping revival is important.

However, at the same time, new life, the growth and safety

of children are also important.

If you are student, you should use your energy for your studies.

Something like these are most important you should do right now.

You should perform your duty.

So please don't feel guilty if it's difficult for you to support our revival difectly.

Because you all are working for important thing for our society.

Your positive emotion will be delivered to our society.

Anyway, we all have our own important role, meaning.

Performing them with all our best is important and meaningful for our society.

This is the way for us to contribute to our society.



Please don't forget.

And let's keep connecting to each other from now on.

For our future.

From Paris with Love
I'm currently in Paris.

We finished X JAPAN's first show in London, which is part of our European tour.

It was also my first performance in London in three years,

after my most recent performance there with JUNO.

I can't even calculate how much I've been influenced by the UK scene,

and I've visited many times,

so it was really wonderful to have our first performance on the first day of our European tour there.

 

The London fans that have been waiting for us for so long were very powerful,

and I think the show turned out to be pretty fantastic for the first day.

Of course many unexpected things happened, but it was still a really moving experience.

We performed at the Shepherds Bush Empire, which is a theater with a great deal of history.

All sorts of famous British artists have stood on its stage, and I went to see Björk there in 1997,

so playing there was really inspiring.

 

Yesterday we appeared all day at Japan Expo in Paris.

We completed various interviews, photo shoots, and "talk lives," and will be performing tonight.

I've looked up to and been influenced by the French culture for a very long time,

so I intend to devote my entire power to our show here in its central city of Paris!

From Berlin with Love
I'm currently in Berlin,

having arrived here today after finishing our shows in Paris and Utrecht.

 

I've performed in Paris (a city I admire greatly) with JUNO in the past,  so the recent show was my second performance there. And as you know, X JAPAN's show in Paris was the realization of a long-held dream. The audience was made up of around 7,000 people, and their transcendent heat was truly wonderful and magnificent. The passion of the Parisian fans – who have waited for us for a very long time – was extremely affecting. I've personally been very influenced by French culture from the 50s and 60s, including Godard and Gainsbourg, so this particular concert was especially moving for me.

 

Given the tone of the subculture in the past, it was inconceivable that Japanese rock musicians like us would become so appreciated in France and Europe. This inspires my desire to express myself and seek for the truth, and is also quite moving. I would like to share my heartfelt love and gratitude with all of our wonderful fans in Paris.

 

After Paris we continued on to Utrecht in the Netherlands. We played in a small concert hall-type building, which was so tiny that it was unthinkable X JAPAN would perform there. For that reason it was definitely a very rare type of show! The concert had a capacity of around 1,000 people, and there's no way X JAPAN has played a show like for over 20 years since they were an Indies band.

 

Just like our performance in London, the stage was extremely small. For that reason the string instrument group couldn't sit on the risers and had to stand up during "Endless Rain," which was both somehow fresh and also difficult because we weren't used to doing it that way. The audience members in Utrecht were really excited at being able to see X JAPAN up close, and the night was both amazingly punkish and hardcore. I feel the greatest love and gratitude for the excitement of all our fans in the Netherlands as well! This tour was really about getting back to basics, and I think the band's potential and unity became very strong.

 

After our show in Berlin tomorrow, our European tour will be over and I will return to Japan. Our new song "JADE" will become available to download in Japan this month. With Summer Sonic in August, our South American tour in September, and our album, X JAPAN is going to keep on going at full power throughout 2011!

SUGIZO message to taiji
http://www.sugizo.com/will/?p=563

[rafaelo]

translation of the message SUGIZO
to taiji

Five days have already gone by since TAIJI passed away.

I still haven't processed it...I'm bewildered by this sudden parting that nobody expected,

and also incredibly sad.

 

TAIJI was an overwhelmingly talented player who was the highest grade of musician.

I respected his transcendent groove from the bottom of my heart.

Losing him is a heavy blow to the Japanese rock scene,

since he was a genius bassist that Japan could be proud of.

 

In recent years TAIJI had been constantly struggling with illness,

and his life was certainly not easy.

Yet he was always very humble, and he never lost his passion for music.

When we stood together on stage at Nissan Stadium last year,

his groove and presence were truly amazing.

 

This parting came too fast, and I still haven't come to terms with it.

But there is one thing I can say,

as my friends keep departing on their journeys for the other side

and now that so many people have lost their lives in the earthquake:

those of us who are still living should feel heartfelt gratitude for our lives.

Those of us who are still living must not waste the lives we have left.

 

I would also like to say to everyone that I want them to keep living on...

to be thankful for everything, including their life, family, and friends.

Your life does not just belong to you; people love you and need you.

People should live their lives while feeling in their hearts the reason for and miracle of being alive.

And people should absolutely not take their own lives,

since there are many people who love them and are always together with them.

 

TAIJI was loved and needed by many people, yet he took his own life.

This is a very sorrowful thing.

 

From the bottom of my heart,

I pray that TAIJI – who was a masterful musician and fantastic rocker – will rest in peace

and find happiness in the next world.

 

Rest in Peace & Fly Away..... My Friends,

http://www.facebook.com/note.php?created&&note_id=170920996310883

[elanor]

thanX Sugizo for those serious words, it would be horrible if people would follow Taiji by suicide...
and of course thanx for the warm and fondly words about Taiji

SUGIZO post this on your facebook

South American Tour 南米ツアー

It's already September. Time flies so fast.

It's about 10 years after that detestable day…

Though the world has been changing dramatically,

unfortunately it still takes so long until the evolution for peace...

 

SGZ is now staying in Chile

for X JAPAN South American Tour about to start.

Since here is the other side of the earth from Japan,

it is winter now. So cold.

After 2 days rehearsal, the show will start here.

 

It is first time for me to come to South America…

Excited-.

Especially since I am a big fan of Bossa Nova,

Brazil is the country I've been longing for.

Besides, I've been so much interested in Inca and Machu Picchu.

I am so happy to visit Peru.

 

However, more than everything, I've been longing for meeting you,

everyone in South America… my dream will come true over years.

So happy…

 

I will show you the best performance with all my strength.

 

早いものでもう今年も９月。

もうすぐあの忌まわしい日から10年。。。

あれから世界は猛スピードで変わり続けているけれど、

残念ながらまだまだ平穏への進化は程遠い。。。

 

SGZは現在X JAPAN南米ツアーが始まり、チリに滞在中です。

日本の真裏だからね、こっちは冬です。寒いよ。

２日間のリハをこなした後、この地からショウが始まります。

 

俺にとって初めての南米。。。

興奮するよー。

特に大のボサファンの俺としてはブラジルは超憧れていた国。

そして子供の頃からインカ、マチュピチュにとても興味があったので、

ペルーを訪れるのも本当に嬉しい。

 

それ以上にとにかく南米各国のファンのみんなに、

前からすっごく逢いたかったから・・・数年越しに思いが叶うよ。

本当に嬉しい。。。

 

全身全霊でパフォーマンスするよ。

From Buenos Aires with Love

SGZ、現在X JAPANとして南米ツアー中です。

チリのサンチャゴ、ブラジルのサンパウロを終え、
そして今日アルゼンチンのブエノスアイレスを終え、
明日、ペルーのリマに移動します。
残すはあと２本。

どこも流石情熱の国。
噂に聞いていた以上に最高の盛り上がりで、
南米のファンのみんなのポテンシャルに正直感動してる。
機材や電圧のトラブル等もあって、
まだまだクオリティを上げていかなきゃいけないんだけれど、
でも、サンチャゴも、サンパウロも、ここブエノスアイレスも
本当に最高だ！
みんな全身で音楽してる。グルーヴしてる。
最高の状態でみなひとつになっている。
この素晴らしく熱い感覚を世界中のみんなに伝えたいな。。。

俺は風邪引いちゃって、２日間ぶっ倒れてて、
昨日の唯一のOFFも身動き取れなかったほどなんだけど、
ここブエノスアイレスのファンのみんなのほとばしる情熱に触発されて、
体調も一気に回復したみたい。
本当に素晴らしい。

このまま全力でリマ、メキシコを挑んでくるよ。
まだまだ高みを目指したい。

Please forgive me for not being in contact with everyone for more than two weeks!

I returned from South America via L.A.,

and then once again began recording work for my album without taking even a moment to rest.

Recently I’ve been involved in the climax of TD work, so I had absolutely no time or mental leeway to write.

But as of last night, I have made it nearly to the final round of this crazy lifestyle.

All that’s left is to mix one last song that hasn’t been done yet,

to put the final touches on several songs, and to finish mastering.

 

As I’ve already told the people in my fan club, my new album will be released on December 7.

Since it was utterly impossible to include my vast number of songs and ideas on one disk,

I will be releasing two new CDs at the same time.

I’ve continued releasing my work for a long period of time –

including soundtracks, remixes, best albums, and many digital singles –

but it’s actually been some time since I’ve released a “pure” original solo album like this one.

The album is a collection of all my “SUGIZO Music” up until now, and has a high degree of density.

I hope you’re looking forward to it, and I’ll write about the details later.

 

From now on I’m going to put aside the final work for my album and plunge into full-on LUNA SEA mode.

It’s been around 10 months since LUNA SEA’s last concert,

and this show is a vitally important one that is the realization of our desires and hopes.

Starting today we’re going to begin working with great concentration in order

to devote our full power to this concert.

 

Let’s meet at Saitama Super Arena!

Seven months have passed since that day,

and these activities are an important part of helping with reconstruction.

Let’s all have pride and hope as we create a fantastic night together.

X JAPAN ASIA TOUR

I’m currently in Hong Kong as part of our Asian tour.

We finished our crazy shows in Seoul, Korea (amazingly, it was actually my first visit there)

and Shanghai, where I hadn’t been for 12 years.

Unfortunately, our concert in Beijing was suddenly cancelled,

so I spent the few days that should have been dedicated to that show in Shanghai.

Then I arrived in Hong Kong – which I haven’t visited for about a year or so – yesterday.

 

It was my first time in Seoul, and the power of the town and the fans there was truly amazing.

It left a sophisticated impression in a variety of ways,

and I strongly felt that progress was taking place in an intense, vigorous way.

We suddenly played in a like this venue about the size of the Budokan.

I really do like places that hold between 10,000 and 20,000 people,

like the venues on our Asian tour and the arena in Saitama we played at recently.

It’s just the right size – it’s not too big, we can really draw people in,

and it feels like a concert hall.

I think that I’ll be able to play with a fantastic feeling on this tour.

The show with the fans in Seoul, a brand new place for me,

was a fantastic night as the first step on our journey throughout Asia.

I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude and love to all of the Korean fans who waited for us!

 

I visited Shanghai in 1999 with LUNA SEA as part of our first Asian tour.

Back then there weren’t many skyscrapers, and the town seemed like it was in the midst of developing.

Twelve years have passed since that time, and Shanghai has evolved in an astounding way.

Right now, everywhere you go is fascinating. Unlike 12 years ago, many fans were waiting for us.

The entire scenery was different, including the state of the town and the way it felt.

The power of the Chinese fans was as strong as I had expected, and the show was a truly crazy one.

 

As always, the public security there is really strict and I had complicated feelings in a variety of ways;

for example, the delicate relationships between nations, the economy, and environmental destruction…

There are lots of different problems that need to be solved.

However, our relationship – which is bound together through music and culture –

has nothing to do with differences related to national boundaries, race, religion, or culture.

In fact, it makes these differences seem beautiful, and we can become one together.

I deeply felt that I would like to keep going around the world in the future while placing importance on this feeling.

 

The Hong Kong show is next, followed by the show in Taiwan.

Both of these places feel like my second hometown, and I intend to give everything to my performances.

 

Also, I pray that the situation in Bangkok will be resolved as soon as possible,

and for the well being and safety of all the people who are suffering there.

We haven’t given up, and are praying that we can hold our concert as planned.

 

In any case, X JAPAN’s Asian tour has been a series of trials. Still,

I’m going to give my everything to it until the very end.

SGZ Tour 2011 STAIRWAY to The FLOWER OF LIFE

X JAPAN’s Asian tour wrapped up around 20 days ago,

which was the end of our tours for this year. 

All of our shows were fantastic, including the ones in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Bangkok

(where we managed to successfully overcome the flood disaster to hold our concert).

During the last part of the show in Bangkok, I got too wrapped up in the moment,

fell from the stage, and bruised my entire body.

For that reason my entire body hurt up until a week ago…

Despite that, I’ve been extremely busy for some time now in a hell (heaven?) of album promotion

and various types of studio work.

 

Today I’m going to write about my solo tour that will take place next month.

It’s called “STAIRWAY to The FLOWER OF LIFE”

and is my first solo tour as SUGIZO in almost two years.

In honor of my new album (which I’ll write plenty about next month)

I’m going to begin with a show on December 13 at Shimokitazawa Garden for fan club members only,

followed by shows in Taiwan (December 15), Hong Kong (December 17),

Osaka (December 20), and Tokyo (December 22).

 

http://www.backstage.co.jp/artist/index.php?id=22

http://www.puffinent.net/

 

For this tour, the shows in Osaka and Tokyo will have an intense lineup of members based on the

“COSMIC DANCE ORCHESTRA” format of the past.

The lineup of members for this tour is the strongest ever:

Origa on vocals, Takumi Samejima on guitar, TOKIE on bass,

Shinpei Ruikei on trumpet, and Kenji Yoshiura on percussion.

My pal d-kiku will serve as programmer,

and this time we will also welcome Motokatsu Miyagami of THE MAD CAPSULE MARKETS on drums

in addition to our regular members.

I plan to use our past format (electro, trance, dub, ambient, loud, and improvisation styles),

and new songs will make up the majority of these crazy and amazing psychedelic electro rock shows.

 

In Taiwan and Hong Kong we will further refine the above lineup and appear under the name

“COSMIC DANCE QUINTET.”

The shows should be both danceable and totally strong,

and I look forward to becoming one with everyone in Asia.

I hope you all come to see my shows to fully experience sensuality, ecstasy,

a sense of breaking free from your ordinary life, and unity with the Earth and universe through music.

I also want to provide an even more emotionally moving type of ascension to the people

who have participated several times in the past,

and a brand new type of sensuality to people who have never experienced it.

My hope is to have everyone experience my “SUGIZO Music” in a more real way at concerts

they can feel with their entire body.

 

While I’m writing this, I’m actually staying in Brighton (the UK) for recording with Juno Reactor.

Before my eyes is the back of Ben Watkins, who is skillfully editing the many guitar tracks I just played.

I’m so busy that I don’t know where my world is, and feel like I’m losing my self-awareness…

I’ll be in the UK, in an explosion of creativity, until the beginning of next month.

I’m going to devote myself to recording,

but I also hope I can fully experience the wonderful air and scenery here.

 

With love from Brighton,

 

X JAPANのアジアツアーが、

すなわちXの今年の全ツアーが終了して、約20日間が経った。

香港公演も、台湾公演も、そして水害を無事乗り切って開催されたバンコク公演も、

全てが本当に素晴らしかった。

バンコク公演のラストで、勢い余ってステージから転落してしまい、

全身打撲を負ってしまって、一週間前まで体中痛かった。。。

けど、そんな中、ずっとアルバムのプロモーション地獄（天国？）と

諸々のスタジオ作業に明け暮れる、結局多忙な日々を過ごしてました。

 

今日は来月行われるソロツアーのことを書かせてね。。。

約２年ぶりのSUGIZO名義のツアー、

題して「STAIRWAY to The FLOWER OF LIFE」。

新しいアルバムを引っさげて（アルバムについては来月にドップリ書くね）、

12/13の下北沢GARDENでのファンクラブ限定GIGを皮切りに

12/15台湾、12/17香港、12/20大阪、12/22東京とを回ります。

 

http://www.backstage.co.jp/artist/index.php?id=22

http://www.puffinent.net/

 

今回のツアー、大阪＆東京は今までのCOSMIC DANCE ORCHESTRAの形態を基本に

より超強力な布陣となるよ。

ヴォーカルにOriga、ギターに鮫島巧、ベースにTOKIE姐さん、

トランペットに類家心平、パーカッションによしうらけんじ、

そしてプログラマーに俺の相方d-kiku氏と、いつものメンバーに加えて、

今回からドラマーにTHE MAD CAPSULE MARKETSの宮上元克氏を迎えて、

過去最強のメンバーで臨みます。

エレクトロ、トランス、ダブ、アンビエント、ラウド＆インプロヴィゼーションと、

今までのフォーマットを踏襲しながらも、

今回は新曲の割合が大半を占めることにより、

バッキバキかつ超アゲアゲなサイケデリック・エレクトロ・ロックショウになるよ。

 

台湾＆香港公演は上記のメンバーをシェイプアップして、

COSMIC DANCE QUINTETとして臨みます。

よりダンサンブルでかつストロングなショウなる予定。

アジアのみんなとひとつになりたい。

とにかく、音楽をとおして官能を、恍惚を、日常からの脱却を、

そして大地と宇宙との一体化を、

全身で体験しに、是非SGZのライヴに足を運んでほしいです。

今まで何度も参加してくれている人には、更なる感動的昇天を、

始めての人には未体験な新たな官能を、是非提供したい。

SGZミュージックを最もリアルに、全身で体感できるライヴを

是非体験してほしいです。

 

そんなことを書いている今俺は、

じつはJUNO REACTORのレコーディングでUKはブライトンに滞在中。

今、目の前には、さっき俺が弾いた数々ギタートラックを絶賛編集中の、

首領ベン・ワトキンスの背中が。。。

もう忙しすぎて、自分が世界のどこにいるのかも、

実感が希薄になってきてるかもしれないなぁ・・・。

来月アタマまでUKに滞在、クリエイティヴィティは爆発だー。

とにかく全力でレコーディングに勤しむと同時に、

こちらの愛おしい空気と風景も満喫したいなぁ。

 

ブライトンより愛を込めて。

From Tokyo with Love
Seventy years have passed since the attack
on Pearl Harbor and the beginning of the Pacific War.

This year – in which we experienced an unprecedented and massive disaster –
I am reflecting even more on beauty, gratitude, and the preciousness of life.

As humans, we have no choice in the future
but to co-exist with and be impacted by the power of nature, without working to oppose it.
However, we should certainly be able to use our will to move past murder
and wars between people.

We must never wage war again.
From the bottom of my heart,
I truly hope that a time comes in which the countries of the world can overcome issues of territory,
religion, and ideology to choose a peaceful path.

Right at this moment, people are living in the midst of war and destruction.
Yet all we can do is pray.

I hope that the world will someday be capable of mutual understanding.

From Tokyo with Love

Very Merry X’mas!

My performance at Zepp Tokyo

– the last day of my STAIRWAY to The FLOWER OF LIFE tour and my last concert of 2011 –

was completed on December 22.

Thanks to everyone, it turned out to be a wonderful show!



There were all sorts of problems and plenty of things didn’t turn out how I wanted them to,

but I think we definitely managed to overcome these things and create a fantastic,

intense feeling.



I would like to express my heartfelt, deepest love and gratitude to the amazing members,

the amazing crew, and all the amazing audience who came to the venue,

and all the people in Japan and throughout the world who participated via Niko Niko Douga and Ustream.

Thank you so much!



This tour made it possible to truly believe in and experience the possibility of creating futures

and the wonderful qualities of music,

which can transcend various types of ideas, in a real way.

The situation is still a severe one and it’s difficult to carry things out in an easy way,

but I want to continue these activities – which I think of as my life’s work– without giving up next year

and in the future as well.

I also want to join together even more, to ascend to the Heavens,

to be together amidst this amazingly sensual groove.



This year is also the first Christmas since the earthquake.

On this holy day I can’t help praying from the bottom of my heart

that the people in the affected areas will be able to spend a warm, peaceful night.

I also want to devote myself to doing what I can to ensure that day comes as soon as possible.



In addition, I’d like to offer a heartfelt prayer for equality, happiness, and warmth to all people:

affluent people, people who are struggling to live,

people living in peace, people who are forced to be on battlefields,

people with freedom, people who are ruled and controlled,

strong people, weak people,

safe people, disaster victims,

people living in their own homes, and people living in temporary housing...



Very Merry X'mas My Dear...
