"He mentioned that they weren’t really sure what language to perform in, and actually at this point he asked us for our input. This was a bit unexpected, and the person who initially asked about the language suggested they split time between languages. He seems to be in agreement with that, we’ll see next week what they decide."
Oh for f***'s sake! I was under the naturally obvious assumption that since Yoshiki clearly made the desicion months ago that singing in english was the best and only way to make it in the US considering he made the entire album english, that Toshi would of course sing at the concert in english, DUH.
And now we find you he hasn't even made a desicion, complete disorganisation, and half japanese/half english is still too much japanese, and this concert will utterly fail if that's what he decides. Now I'm very worried about how this concert's going to go. In terms of what language will appeal to the audience I thought he had this in the bag, but he doesn't.
I was looking forward to hearing the old songs completely (or 90%) in english just as they are on the album, this sucks. And it doesn't make any sense to sing half the songs in japanese half in english for a US audience who just want to hear english and then after the concert give them a full english album. Just sing the songs as they are on the new album, seriously its like the most obvious desicion to make ever.
I'll probably get people saying I'm overeacting/being to harsh on Yoshiki/let him do what he wants ect. but this is a a major thing and a majorly dumb desicion, and any desicion on what language to sing at the concert should've been decided way before this.
