Something I gleaned from the video
that's not mindless talk about standing position or fan-fic level speak is the fact that...
1) Yoshiki spoke in English for almost the entire video. Keep in mind, this is a Japanese station for a Japanese event on New Year's Day.
2) Yoshiki restates that they broke up 10 years ago, had drama/hardships, and now back together to achieve "their dream". This is essentially what they were saying 7-8 years ago. Interesting again how it's being said in ENGLISH on a Japanese station. This is almost purposefully done for Western audiences or fans who are following them. It's like a retake at what they tried to do years ago.
3) Yoshiki practically confirmed future tours "we're going to be around the world for the future".
4) Pata does does not look that great at all. Keep in mind, they've got makeup on and their hair is all done as if it were for a show; he still looks in rough shape. I have to wonder if half of Yoshiki's lamenting about his surgery is again due to Pata's health holding them back from performing. It was only recently Yoshiki tweeted about starting to drum again, "I don't know how long it will last" (somewhat true but mostly to stir the drama pot).
Just what I gathered from the video. Felt like this forum needed some actual discussion again
