I think a new song deserves a new topic! :P
Before anyone starts screaming "Nooo, not a nother ballad!"...well, the targent group is the japanese market this time, so it's fitting, no? ;D
-
A preview of the song will be played on the movie trailer shown on Japanese cinemas starting on the 23rd :)

Excellent. I very much enjoy news of new X Japan songs very much. But where is that album?
-
A ballad??? Great!
-
Sounds meh..
-
Sounds meh..
...we will see...but so far...yea, meh....i think so far we can only hear the chrous so perhaps the verses will be composed of complete awesomeness!?
EDIT: Here's a news clip some more of the song...I think...either way, the parts that we have heard are not distorted by the movie trailer...this time, just a guys voice :)

The chorus (?) at the end sounds like Rosa.
-
Toshi's voice is extremlly soooooo beautiful!!
-
It reminds me of Rosa + some other random VUK songs :) I can't wait to listen to the full version though
-
Someone twitter Yoshiki to upload the preview (maybe even a slightly longer version) without the other noises in the trailer onto xjapanmusic.com
I'm now back in that mood of replaying the preview over and over again XD.
-
I can safely say I am super stoked for this. I like how his approach towards music, ballads included, have grown with him. *_*
And I agree with Kiiroi on that it has some strong VUK influence, but I mean, of course it does. XD And yeah, it could also be from when Toshi went solo, that's able to be heard as well. It'd be nice to think Toshi had a hand in at least the vocals for this song.
-
new song is always good. Concerning the title...well...I wait until I can listen to it and the give a verdict :D
-
great song.
now is wait for the new album X this to come out in spring?
-
I hope that Sugizo makes a guitar solo for this song because a slow solo is something he can really do.
-
great song.

Yoshiki said to Barks in September that the album would be released late fall, and if not before the end of the year, he'll commit harikiri.
Looks like Yosher's gonna die :P
-
I assume the trailer that's going to be shown in Japanese cinemas in a few days is this one?
-
only I hope this CD X will not take much to leave, as was the guns of roses.
because if not he will commit harikiri ..
-
From the little I can hear from it, it sounds very Toshi.
And I love it !!!

Totally agree with you.btw his symbol isToshi with wings

Just been reading the comments on YouTube. People have spotted that the melody of Toshi's vocals on a section of the song mimic 'The Last Song's guitar solo....They are really similar! I like it!
-
To me, it has some similar sounds to "I'll Be Your Love".
Either way, I am excited for it. I could use an epic piece of ballad-ness from our beloved X.

I spot that too. Part does sound like The Last Song's guitar solo and I do really like that guitar solo!

I like the last song too....

Some news!
Sounds like it could be a new "epic" type ballad. If the solo doesn't involve Pata and Sugizo harmonizing and the song isn't over five minutes in length I will be quite surprised.
-
The only problem I see with this song is that if they want to put it on the new album, will they have to wait until the movie is released (May 2011). I certainly hope not, but I'm guessing they do...
And those of you who didn't know (like me), the movie (well, a movie length anime) is actually a manga adaption - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha_%28manga%29

Hope you're right. A long guitarsolo would be nice.
-
Can't judge the song yet, but Toshi's voice sounds simply fantastic on it. He's singing up to the Eb above tenor high C! The guy's voice is better than ever...
-
WAAAAAAAAHHAHA ITS SO AWESOME *_* <3
TOSHI!! your voice touches my heart~~~ <3
-
I listened to what I could of it and i thought it was pretty good, then again i don't hate any X Japan songs haha...but I wish they'd write some heavier stuff :(
-
What is it with everyone and not liking X ballads btw................ xDD sure the rock stuff pwns...but...I LOVE BALLADS!! nd not afraid to admit it
-
Oh I like the ballads, and I really like this one, too!
Somehow it has something rather hopeful, at least for me...
-
Well a lot of us prefer their rock songs, and since its a metal band, its only logical that we prefer it if they made rock songs, that's why they're a metal band. Its a bit rediculous the amount of ballads and how many ballad like elements they throw into their songs, once you perform songs like Vanishing Love Blue Blood and Rose of Pain constantly, you can't really go back on that much, and that's what Yoshiki's doing, and its not working that well.
I'm not saying I don't like Scarlet Love Song, but they're a metal band, after all the ballads and songs with massive ballad elements like Jade, they need to start making more songs like Blue Blood now. Yoshiki's direction is almost starting to feel like anti-rock, despite how much he describes that X have a "hard/soft side" and that they're going to "rock" america, Scarlet Love Song is yet another ballad, and he hasn't even composed (or let Sugizo compose) a guitar solo for the song.
-
I actually really like this one, the feeling it has to it...
also, I think Toshi improved his vocals (or...they put some more autotune over it..but ... let's just keep it on Toshi improving)
-
Still for this song to be tied with an anime movie by Osamu Tezuka productions means it will be good. I doubt the company would want a song that didn't fit the mood of the anime cause it makes an important tie in.
Still very impressed that they will be featured in a movie.
-
@Ulquiorra That's how my friend thinks too. But if like...70% of their songs are ballads...are they really still a metal band? and, sure I admit... some of the ballad elements are pretty useless...like the one in rusty nail (wtf... strings intro of 5 seconds nd then..the song starts...useless much) but, I think people should just take it as it is, deal with the fact they also like making ballads... because that's what they've been doing for years. Eventhough, as a whole album...I like blue blood best ... I like things like this song too...

Japan has made Scarlet Love Song number 1 on itunes. The song isn't available yet for the US but I bet it will be just as high when we get our hands on it.
