Could you please clarify, the concert in Taiwan will be held on January 16th instead of February 14th?

[Sander]

No, the Taiwanese live is postponed but the fans from Taiwan can buy a travel package to Hong Kong, where there will be a concert on the 16th of January.

[Keiko1981]

Thank you, I was a little confused.

[alex]

Even though this is such an unprofessional mess, and very disappointing, I must say that that package is quite sweet.

[Sander]

Yeah I wish we had that kind of package in July/November

[Matthias]

Sucks, good that they arranged this tour package, but another concert postponed simply sucks.

[denx]

i simply want to know, what are the 'many different reasons' to postpone this concert. it looks like this world tour being cursed -_-'

[Sander]

There is a rumor going around that it was because of security issues with the venue.

[Keiko1981]

It would be so much better if they/X Japan/Yoshiki/their managment would be straight forward and say as it is, instead of some vague statement(s) which makes the fans to speculate about different reasons. It's out of these speculations rumors usually emerge.

[denx]

but, irving zoff management take over already?

There is a rumor going around that it was because of security issues with the venue.

The rumour is confirmed: YM

[jacquien]

hum...
but from the fans' messages posted on the TW official web, it seems all these coincidences made the TW fans speculate that it's coz the ticket sales of the additional show in HK on 16th is not as good as expected......so the show in TW is sacrificed to boost the sales in HK....

[Sander]

Hard to believe, as I have understood that you have to have a visa to get to Hong Kong and there isn't enough time for that. It would have been an explanation if they had postponed it a few weeks ago. Besides, the live in Taiwan is 'postponed', not 'canceled'.
