thanks:Queenie

I am glad to hear that.
Japan is a place of deep sorrow now. It is relentless...the aftershocks continue.
Please pray for Japan. I'm in Tokyo and it's scary enough here. I cannot imagine what is like up north.

How very sweet of Yoshiki! For a very good cause! Does anyone know how long he's had his crystal piano?
-
Tanabata, I am happy to hear from you and that you seem to be ok!
I hope the piano sells well ... too bad it is too big for my living room :P
-
Tanabata I'm glad that everything is well with you
is this piano must be expensive right?
-
wow, such a kind deed *_* Way to go, Yoshiki! I hope smb will pay lots of many for the piano.
BTW, I'd like to know how long he has this piano either. And, *probably it'll be a stupid question*, is the crystal piano the only ONE?

I've been wondering this as well. I have a feeling he has more than one but this one he is auctioning holds a lot of meaning/memories because I think one of the articles mentioned it was used for the 2009 lives (not sure about the N.A tour)
The company Kawai who makes it sells the crystal piano apparently made only 5 a year according to this seller. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/msg/2251397964.html
It would be really sad if it was his only one because that piano is part of Yoshiki as a musician. The crystal piano paired with his drums are the perfect accent to his style and look on stage. I feel bad for saying this but I hope the tragedies don't put a halt to their activities...I mean, there is only so much they can do to help. They can donate money or raise money to donate through concerts etc...If they outright stop activities for half of this year or something, I'd be really sad..especially when they are on the TIP of breaking out world wide. =/
-
thanx for the info, Feudal.

Yep, I have to agree..... But THIS just makes his intention even more valuable.
-
Yea, that is true but do you know the likelihood that his piano will just end up in some rich guys basement? That piano is priceless in many ways. Yoshiki is incredibly honorable and kind to do this.
-
"some rich guys basement'..... I do realize that. -_- There are so many pieces of Art lost in those "basements". A sad truth *sigh* But it's great that some of them will be of use to the victims of disaster
-
If you scan your minds back long enough you will all remember that X Japan are known for their support of charitable causes, especially Earthquakes. The "Live in Hokkaido" bootleg was actually taken from an Earthquake Benefit gig X Japan did during their Dahlia Tour to raise money for the victims of the 1995 Kobe quake.
-
@Beauty/Broken: honestly, there's no use to scan my mind 'cause I didn't know this part of X-history ^_^; But it's so nice to hear such a thing... Thank you for this info. The more I know about them, the more I respect them
-
I found this here is the piano YOSHIKI right?

@Tanabata: good to hear that you are well, it´s always a bit difficult to ask, how people are today inJapan or even people here who have family and friends there. so please take care of you.
@Ashemanu: the same problem like you, the piano fits perfectly into my room by style, but not by size, so what about putting our rooms together, than it will fit? :)
@Feudal:By my opinion it will enlarge their activities just to benefit the victims, I think it won´t take a long time and wil will get a lot of announcments of benefitconcert of japanese musicians and maybe it will be a push for their world tour, who knows

Elanor,
Thank you for your kind comments.
It's surely an uncertain time here in Japan. I feel helpless but I'm frantically working via the internet to help out. I am helping out with the animal rescue efforts...an enormous task...I want to do SO much more. Sitting on the internet, though, doesn't seem so helpful. I want to get out there and get my hands dirty.
I ask you all to pray for Japan. This is a national tragedy on a scale that is difficult to comprehend. It is quite surreal and has impacted the nation, as a whole, in many ways, both big and small.
Thank you to Yoshiki for his kindness.
-
Yeah, I think the bigger the response from X during this time could be more beneficial than them focusing on what they've been doing. By putting up the auction for bid and it getting a- being assumptive here- huge amount from some rich whoever the hell will get attention. X-Japan putting on a benefit show would also draw lots of attention.
The big picture here I think is being observed rather than the small scale. I hope and encourage Yoshiki and X-Japan to take time off from the upcoming tours and use their celebrity to bring Japan from it's crippled genuflect and rise up with chin held high and metal horns in the air.

It's time for Japan to come together. I completely agree with your comments. I hope X Japan will do all they can to help. Of course they have no obligation to do so but it would be encouraging for them to do so.
Now back to the animal rescue efforts...

There was a press release yesterday - YOSHIKI auctioning off his crystal Kawai piano, Jade release postponed (http://www.xplosion-online.com/index.php/en/news/x-japan-news/286-yoshiki-auctioning-off-his-crystal-kawai-piano-jade-release-postponed)
-
Japan is in trouble and I'm glad to see people with ability and a name working to help it in Japan, We have Gackt, T.M. Revolution holding concerts and charity events and now Yoshiki auctioning off a crystal Piano wow. I wonder how much that will sell for.
I have lost some friends to this horrible event, which saddens me but I know they would help in anyway they can and I will do whatever I can to help.
-
@Tanabata I'm glad you're safe! It's very kind of you to help with the animals. Please take care. Prayers and thoughts are with Japan and all affected by this tragedy. We will do our best to help out!
@Jrockergirl I'm so sorry to hear that you've lost some friends during this event. My sincere condolences.
Regarding the Crystal Piano, I hope it ends up in a museum for all to enjoy. But mostly, I hope it goes for a very large sum. Also, the Yoshiki Foundation site is up:
www.yoshikifoundation.org
-
Tanabata and Jrockergirl, I'm glad you're safe. I'm sorry for your loss. Please be safe.
I hope the piano goes to a hand that can appreciate it.
-
Tanabata here, sticking it out in Tokyo. I'm not running! Japan has been good to me for nearly 10 years, not about to run away now.
Thank you all for your kind words. And, for those who have lost friends and family in this tragedy, I send you my condolences.
Please pray for Japan. This is a national tragedy that will take a long to get over.
Thank you again.
-
Am I the only one who can imagine Yoshiki writing a charity single for this tragedy?
-
Im from California so nothing happened here, friends werent so lucky but yea the Piano should be sold to a collector of fine things who will share it with the world or a museum since its a very limited piano and owned and played by Yoshiki, will prob sell for a huge sum.
-
@Jrockergirl: my sincere condolences for loosing your friends.
@ LunaSlave: I´m sure he will do, I think a lot of jap. Artists will do. And I´m wondering if we will hear something from europian artist, at the moment people here in Germany don´t flash over with donation accounts and charityevents, it´s a bit ashaming, as the earthquake happend in Haiti they couldn´t be fast enough with collecting money and today we are discussing about our nuclear power plants and that high-tec didn´t save Japan, so we are, alway nice and warmhearted...
-
elanor, Haiti is a very poor country which desperately needed money, which was obvious and triggered an immediate response. Japan is considered very rich and able to help itself - mostly. So people are more reluctant to donate, it´s not quiet that obvious.
But you are right - mostly I read here about our own nuclear plants, the sudden change of Queen Angie´s and her minions opinion about that and how good or not good the stock exchange is ...
-
found this, may be it´s a bit far from the topic, but it´s informing...

Thanx again rafaelo and Ashemanu for the links, I´m thinking about making a donation for the victims of the earthquake/tsunami over the "yoshiki foundation", is there anybody here who got already experiences with the foundation, are they really serious? (I first thought making it over the red cross, but esp. for Germany I know they need a lot of money for their administration, that´s why I´m just searching...)

This is so encouraging to see. I am glad that Yoshiki, and X Japan as a whole, are committed to helping out in the relief efforts. I have been to some of the affected areas. The images will never leave me. I saw things one is never supposed to see. You cannot believe the devastation. This tragedy will be with us forever. Thank you Yoshiki and X Japan.
Our work continues here and we are doing our best to be of assistance to the poor animals impacted by this disaster.

Yes, trying to help the animals. And, in doing so, this helps people. I pray for reunions between people and their pets.
-
is our good fortune tanabata
imagine how bad its owner
be without your pet
good luck
-
I wonder when we will see the Piano on sale, I know there will be a lot of sad faces with people watching it, and im sure Yoshiki himself is proud of what he will be doing but at the same time sad to lose such a beautiful thing.
I'm sad for everything in Japan, homes are destroyed, lives both human and animals are missing or deceased just horrible.
Tanabata I wish you luck on everything you do

Thank you for all your kind words.
Here in Japan we are still consumed by the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear reactor problem. Some happy stories are coming out of the tragedy and, of course, some unbearably sad ones.
Please keep Japan in your mind and hearts.
Thanks again.

Thanx for the vid, Rafaelo.
such sorrowful and painful shots..... It's unbelievable how many times Japan suffered from the terrible disaster.. T__T I hope everything will be all right and the people will get huge support from all over the world.
This band is so great not just because of their music but because they really care and don't stand aside from others' pain. Way to go, X
-
It's a nice video, well put together and quite moving - but perhaps a little bit too gratituous and Yoshiki-centric for my liking... I think it's perhaps a little sceptical to make a video about Yoshiki and then ask people to donate to help the Japan Earthquake relief... Why not just make a video about the Earthquake? Sure, it's Yoshiki's foundation, but all money raised is being given to the Japanese Red Cross society, it's not like Yoshiki himself is making a huge donation.
-
well, I could partially agree - at first glance it seems to be concentrated on him.... But I think that Yoshiki's authority\popularity will draw attention of much more people from all the world, so it really makes sense for me
-
posted it here today on the amount of donation ..
And thanking everyone who helped.

Holy sheisse. It's up to almost 600,000 dollars. XDD
That's so fantastic. If it doesn't break a million I'd be surprised.

yes Hypno
nothing bad there is still 7 days
-
it´s really wonderfull to see how good the auction is going on, the totally opposide to the mainstream in Germany here, where the common view, supported by the media, is, that people in Japan don´t need that help, because there are rich enough to help themself, it´s very embarrassing for a rich country like ours :-[
-
On a more light hearted note regarding this auction... Please draw your attention to the disclaimer at the bottom for a wonderful bit of Engrish.
"Note to everyone for being naughty tender tender"
Aaaand it's officially broken my prediction of 1.2 million. Still climbing, still climbing..!
-
was looking at the auction and wow, regardless that's going to be a lot of money raised for the piano.
5 days left on the auction guess we might see around 2 mill +.
A lot of communities, areas and countries think Japan doesn't need help and i'm sure there are certain people in Japan who say they dont need help, but when so many lives are lost and homs are destroyed it shows the best when people help.
-
It's up to...
26 million USD.
I am NOT kidding.
-
It's awsome. Whoever wins the bid is going to help a lot of Japanese people.
Wonder if Yoshiki is going to meet the winner personally.
-
Break new Guinness World Record?????????????
-
That is the most valuable instrument I've ever seen in my entire life.
-
That's magnificent! ♥
-
Now it's up to JPY 6 billion, about USD 72 million...
Wow. There's no way the people bidding is not a serious bidder, don't you think?
I'm so shocked, it's awesome. Yoshiki is powerful.
-
Those billion bids really suspicious, they put the auction on hold now.

“Crystal Piano” Charity Auction Temporary Hold Notice
Because the burden of the auction system is temporarily suspended
http://www.j-grab.com/auction/jp/page/c270695572/en/
-
Yeah... 1.2 million I could believe, but when it started to skyrocket- even though the piano is worth oh so much more than it could ever go for- it was getting ridiculous.
-
wow.. I expected smth like this but I'm still shocked xD It's so great, and I hope that there will be a new Guinnes record established, seriously ^^
That is the most valuable instrument I've ever seen in my entire life.
seconded.
-
For everyone excited about the bids getting so high, there is absolutely no chance, NO CHANCE, the $6B bid is legitimate. I expect the winning bid will be <$10M USD.
-
could it be some teenage doing prank, lol, seriously, the bids are getting ridiculous
-
Yeah. When it started to slow down around 1.2 million and some odd, I was like "Yeah, my prediction has come true!" and then it was like "...this is getting stupid" after how high it was getting.
The biggest lament, I feel, is that this puts a hiatus on the benefit of the auction, puts the whole integrity behind what the auction was for on the ground... ._.
-
I wondered how much money the piano would legitimatly raise, surely the problem would be that most X fans with money would be Japanese, I suppose there could be a few rich people out there who love gorgeous pianos, but I agree that 1.2 mil was the last 'serious' bid.
I hope it's some misguided fans trying to get the bids higher without realising they're bidding against other poor fans, and not people trying to intentionally ruin the auction, since some stupid people have the utterly stupid idea that Japan somehow 'deserves' this. @_@
-
posted this here just now
I do not know if it's real value at the time
http://www.rbbtoday.com/article/img/2011/04/20/76339/133046.html
-
It's a shame for those pranks, it's plain stupidity without realizing the consequences. Fans or no fans, how could they be that irresponsible.
When the bids starting to get very high, there should have been a more strict verification on the bidders. Would they face legal action?
-
So the bid was bullshit? Damn. I just saw it mentioned on the news on my TV guide channel but I guess they haven't updated it since all it said was "Piano from Japanese musician gets $73 million bid - unclear if genuine".
-
we'll see..
-
An article in the German Online Magazine "Spiegel Online" says that Yahoo has contact the latest bidder via email to check wether it's a serious bid or just bullshit.
And Yahoo is going to put the piano up for bidding in a few days again.
This Magazine is pretty reliable so we'll just have to wait and see, like Blur said.
If this is really only a prank it's like spitting in the faces of all the victims of the catastrophe and the people who wish to help them.
I really hope this is a serious bid.
*crossing my fingers for this not to be a hoax*
-
The bids came back to the 53 million yen, seems like it's starting again.
-
oh, noo.... Hopefully there will be no such stupid jokes this time -_-
-
So the false bids brought Yoshiki some (albeit very small amount of) international media attention?
At least the auction is starting again. Like XVikyX, I hope they'll be no pranks like this.
-
The english page is still on hold. And the japanese bid isn´t moving - but there the auction is open? I cannot read the text.

@rafaelo: yes it's in Chinese/Cantonese, just the news that we got previously - that the auction got billions bid which is very hard to believe, and yahoo suspects the bid and tried to contact the bidder but received no reply yet, that's why they put the auction on hold temporary

I was amazed how fast it kept rising myself, but figured it was really huge fans just wanting to donate as well as support a good cause.
Yahoo auctions has a rule of how it should rise and well it probably just made them freak, but the huge bid does make people go is that real, even I did that.
I do hope it raises quite a bit seeing as its only about 500k in US dollars, I imagine under 5 millions myself, and no BS bidders since this does have a lot of attention.

1.02 million US dollars is the price of the crystal piano, according to the closed bid. 83.5 Million yen.
-
so im lost what did the Piano end up selling for?
1 million? if so that is a pretty huge sum, and I wonder what Yoshiki is thinking getting ready to ship out/deliver his piano to the winner
-
134.000 $, if I saw it right, which is pretty low imo.
-
it was only $ 134.000!! how could it become 1 million?

that´s really not that much I expected, I think that´s the problem with charity auctions, that stupid fans or persons who think they are, come along with total senseless offers for nothing, but 5 min fame
(have had a case like that a several years ago in Germany too) :(

pretty sad, I was expecting a huge amount which would of really done a lot of good.
Sadly I would of bought it if i had a lot of extra money to earn, but 140k is very low for the priceless Piano which I bet Yoshiki is disappointed but will just do what he does best and entertain and give.
