If Yoshiki's going to continue his pointless VUK fashion show in the middle of an X concert he should have Toshi sing the songs instead of that girl (don't know her name), then again I want Toshi to conserve his voice for X's songs in a concert.

Perhaps it is time for Toshi to return Yoshiki a favor for supporting him all these while by helping Yoshiki with his first VUK concert.

Thank you for posting the You Tube links.  I downloaded the concert from DMM but, as I grizzled about before in previous posts, the quality is SHOCKING (sorry, I don't mean to shout!).  So, I am glad to have the You Tube postings.

Thanks again ;D

I like Toshi's mini album released on 09 Feb 2010.  total 4 songs are all very nice.  Toshi's voice is so clear and powerful.  He and Yoshiki made good team as usuaal.

Thanks everyone for the YT links!!
ToshI is definitely awesome. There's so much emotion around him when he sings... I wish I had been there. >_<

I'm at my wits' end.

That is really an unforgettable beautiful concert!!!

I listened again to Unnamed song sung by Daughter after I had listened to ToshI singing that song. Violet UK songs are definitely made to be sung by ToshI I find. The songs are very beautiful, but when ToshI sings, there are more than very beautiful! The song gets a totally different dimension!

Yoshiki producing that concert from ToshI, and they all together, all guest X Japan musicians, thanks for such a beautiful concert!

Now that in the future they will concentrate totally on X Japan, makes me believe that we will see amazing things. (With or without drums, depends on health, but as we could see today, without drums can be beautiful too)

Hoping that Glowinlife (Youtube) will upload the rest of the show too, -mc's and X Japan songs- and very great thanks to him of her.

It seems that a lot of people think Unnnamed Song is a VUK song. I always thought it was not, as it has always been performed live, crediting Yoshiki as the composer and never mentioning Violet UK. Also, it appeared on his Eternal Melody II album, not a VUK release....just my thoughts.

As for the concert, I am extremely surprised! When I found out that the entire set was very...acoustic...I was at first disappointed, but the end result was fantastic. This concert definitely had a more warm and close atmosphere compared with other concerts. As for my favorite performance? I think Eagle Sniper takes that. I had never heard the original before and, on comparing the two, Toshi's rendition of the song is by far my favorite. I am also very happy with how Airport turned out live...just disappointed there was no drum kit for it!

I think this should be released on DVD!

Eagle Sniper is definately my favourite performance with Made in Heaven a close second just because I love that song!!!  ;D

I  remember that Yoshiki said in an interview that they had recorded another version of Amethyst with Toshi's vocal (before the band broke up). It seems that the original lyric is different from now and maybe it's in Japanese. But I doubt if I will have the chance to hear that in my life :P

You Tube!  Come back.  How annoying but I had a little feeling that might happen  :(

I also think Eagle Sniper was the best song of the concert.  I had never heard the original but I just LOVE this version.  I've been trying to think of how I would describe it but I just can't.  Sometimes I just cannot find words...I only have feelings.  I must say, I never realised Heath was so talented at writing.

Actually I don't know which exactly are his solo songs and which are his Violet UK songs. It's all of the same composer, and I can really imagine ToshI sing them all. I thought all that was sung by Daughter and other women were Viloet UK songs.

For those who have not seen the clips from youtube, there is a woman on Support for Toshi facebook, who can upload them there, she did already put one song there.
You just have to ask her and she will upload.

I agree with you, I mean come on people, can you really imagine Toshi singing Blue Butterfly or Sex and Religion? Because, I can't!

I love eagle sniper too! The original is not anything like that, and the new arrangement gives a totally different feel. If I just listen to the original, I would never have imagined it could sound like this. Toshi should consider collaborating with heath on something.  The other song which I am glad to hear is  made in Heaven... I have no idea why Toshi did not consider singing more of his solo from that era, but I'm glad that in the end, the only song he chose is made in Heaven.

thanks everyone for the links to the pictures, videos, reviews and so on xD

overall, i really like the concert because of the set list, a refreshing one? i like how Toshi sings and plays the piano at the same time, very enjoyable xD

seems like everything is starting all over again, giving me hope that i can look forward to more activities by X JAPAN! ^^

oh and luckily i converted some of the videos into mp3 before it was set to private. but i do not have Unnamed Song :/

Unnamed song.
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/lrHz9--l0Rc/

You could download it, because it will not be long time there I think.
I see that the other songs are there too.
