Yoshiki / Re: YOSHIKI - ENDLESS RAIN - INTERNATIONAL FAN PROJECT

« on: July 11, 2020, 09:55:54 AM »

I think it is good that you have no expectations for that new album ever to appear.  I used to hope for the release every now and then and that hope was pretty pointless.

Heath / Re: Why Heath no longer provides support vocals?

« on: July 08, 2020, 10:44:32 PM »

the simplest explanation is that X members (not the historical ones, of course) consider themselves musicians for hire and they feel like they belong less than ever to a band. (Not surprisingly...) So they feel like they're allowed to overlook minor details such as background vocals.

It wouldn't surprise me.

Offtopic / Re: So, is this forum dead now or something?

« on: July 07, 2020, 09:34:33 AM »

We live in sad times. The band is reunited but still dead and the fans (the few who are still there and the occasionally new ones that appear) try to keep the fandom alive.

Albums/Singles / Re: X JAPAN New Album(When??)

« on: May 21, 2020, 10:34:53 PM »

Yoshiki is teasing us with the term "new album" and the word "soon" again: https://twitter.com/YoshikiOfficial/status/1263470925271437312?s=19

He must be joking, right?

General chat / Re: X at its peak?

« on: May 10, 2020, 11:55:17 AM »

meanwhile, Yoshiki plays mind games to the next level trying to ignite a last, faint hope for X:

https://twitter.com/YoshikiOfficial/status/1256415405343531010

to be quite honest, even if this album sees the light of day in the next 50 years, it won't be half as successful as expected. I mean, he's right when he says that people have developed a sweet tooth for more electron-ish music and X are not marketable that much anymore. But when will things change?

Argh this tweet. He was really trying to troll us here. Why does he do that with his fans feelings?

I would agree that their peak was around Jelousy-Release. After that everything started falling apart.

Anyway, I think it's kind of awesome that he got interviewed by BBC. It's nice that he donated the money to the good cause.

Completely agree.

This interview was... kinda weird. I get what he is saying, but is it just me or is he kind of not answering her questions?

You forgot this one:


I really love how Toshi puts a smile on my face with such a nice little gesture. <3 It is a simple thing to do. To just sit down and record one or two songs on the camera for ALL his fans (not just the paying ones) and give everyone some courage. <3

It sounds like some cheesy japanese pop song, but I like it. 

Toshi is cute in the video footage you posted.

Edit: Looks like it's the song for this TV series, nb.

General chat / Re: X Japan : On the verge of destruction, AGAIN

« on: February 27, 2020, 02:42:29 PM »

Did some digging here and there. X getting together is highly unlikely tbh. Signs say that Toshi is mad about the contract system, the red swan incident , lunatic fest incident and the whole "Yoshiki is X and he is everything" system. If all of these aren't resolved they won't get back together

Sounds bad. If that's true they're never getting back together.

Also... Yoshiki wrote on Twitter:

The memory of XJapan #NoAudienceLive revives.. Someday we will return for our fans.

Makes me wonder what he thinks how many comebacks a band this old can have...

Yoshiki has a profile on Weibo too https://www.weibo.com/yoshikixjapan

though it's basically a repost of what he mentions in other social media.

Thanks for mentioning! Will add it to the list.

If Toshi wants more money.... won't it be better to release the album sooner when the people still want to buy it?

Yes, most definetly. But Yoshiki seems to not even want to talk about that album anymore.

If I were in this band I would be pissed off. So it doesn't really surprise that X is destroying itself again.

I don't know what but something is off about this band. Maybe it's just time to say goodbye already.

I cannot imagine Toshi and Pata to be fighting to be honest. And that there is nothing X-related on Toshis social media anymore isn't proof for anything imo. And not taking pictures with other X members? Well I guess that means Sugizo isn't part of X anymore? 

Social Media can't proof these things. It's just a facade and I wouldn't believe anything that fans speculate because of it. Noone of us knows 100% what is happening.

But still sad to see this band break apart for whatever reason there might be.

Hey! Nice to see new people. I can totally understand how you fell in love that quickly.

The song you're searching for might be "JADE". The lyrics you are referring to might be these:

Oh, 'cause you are beautiful
 Your scars are beautiful, like the jade
