Depending on where you live, the Last Live should be available everywhere, maybe in a manga/anime related shop?
I mean, in Belgium we have three shops where you can get it XD So it shouldn't be that hard to find in other countries either. Just keep on searching!

You guys are lucky. Here in the US you have to live in an area where Asian things are predominant (i.e. California, New York, big cities). Luckily, my college is located in a town where these kinds of shops are closer by! I got so excited when I found all of hide's CDs at a store at a mall 10 minutes away......but ALL of the CDs there were bootlegs! ;__;

When people explain things to you in "X terms" so that you can understand what they are talking about.

This one has taken me a while and it involves getting a number of people around you interested in X or finding friends that like X. But I finally did it, lol!

Example: People comparing other people to members of X (hair, clothes, face) "I saw a lady yesterday with blondish hair...you know, like Yoshiki's"

There's tons more out there lol but that was the first one I could think up. You definitely know you're an X addict when people have to try and relate to you because you don't get it any other way XD

Yoshiki / Re: BXtE: YOSHIKI to undergo surgery on Monday‏
« on: July 27, 2009, 03:54:10 AM »
I just read this myself; hoping for the best. I was actually wondering when he was going to undergo surgery for it, since it's been on my mind for a while. Let's all give our best wishes.

^ Oh no, usually when I refer to "classic rock" I don't mean that far back XD Hmm, maybe glam rock is a more appropriate word?

General chat / How did you discover X Japan?
« on: July 25, 2009, 10:50:47 PM »
I was looking through the forums and I found a topic that asks WHEN you got into X Japan, but not HOW. So I figured I'd start one >.> If there by any chance already is a thread like this, please disregard this one.

So, everyone, how exactly did you stumble across X? Was an accident? Curiosity? A friend's recommendation?

My personal story (apologies if it's a bit long) :

I became an X fan in May of 2007. I was fairly new to all Japanese music then, the few artists I knew being T.M.Revolution, Gackt, and L'arc~en~Ciel. I joined a J-music forum in the hope of learning more, and I kept seeing X Japan's name all over the place there. I was kind of scared of everything that had to do with visual kei at the beginning, since it was a little intimidating, and seeing oldies X with enormous hair and leather didn't really help me much. So, when I first listened to them, I didn't really like them much at all. I didn't really like their classic rock sound and Toshi's voice was very difficult for me to get used to.

However, I was very curious about the band itself, so one day I decided to just look them up and see if I could learn a little bit about them. hide's story especially drew me in, and as I learned about who he was and how he had passed on, everything just seemed to fall into place - it was like I'd always been meant to be an X fan, in a way. Suddenly their music sounded amazing, Toshi's voice was perfect, and I could not get enough of the music, the videos, the information. I listened to X every single day for about a month, I think.

If I found anything strange, however, it's how familiar hide seems to me. The way his voice sounds, his face, his music, all looks and sounds like I knew it before. It's kind of like that feeling you get when you're trying to remember the name or the face of somebody you used to know and just can't anymore. But my family had never heard of X Japan until I got into them, and I can't remember ever listening to them before. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

But, thanks to X, I like and can remember a lot of new things now. I love classic rock and classical music, I'm not as shy as I used to be, and I've made tons of friends. I just think it's really magical that a group of people like X are able to bring together all the corners of the world to enjoy their music - just look at this forum! :D

Anyways, enough about me; what about all of you? Feel free to go on and on since I just did >.>

I'm Anna. I really hate when my family misspells it because they always spell it with one "n", since most of my family is from Croatia and I guess that's how you spell it there >.> I've seen some really interesting names here! o.o

Mine is kind of neat XD I have a series of books that I'm writing that is called "Rain", and they have a lot to do with angels, thus the "Seraphim" part, a seraphim being one of the highest order of angels. It's very far from being done but it has a special place in my heart ^^

My brother now calls hide's yellow heart guitar the "funny guitar" and keeps asking how many guitars hide ever had and what they look like. I bet you he's going to dye his hair pink one of these days XD

Haha yeah I remember reading about this XD I would so play it if I could. It would be amazingly epic playing as a sword-wielding Yoshiki. XD

I have a whole bunch of avatars saved on my computer and I always use a different one on every different forum I join (I think I'm a part of 7 or 8 forums...) so I chose this one of Yoshiki. I'll probably change it soon, but I like it, since it's simple and pretty. >.>

21
Hmmm. Interesting question! I'd have to say mostly Pata, since I'm pretty relaxed, I love music, and I'm able to keep my cool through a whole lot. If I don't do my hair I even kind of look like him too! XD I'm also like Toshi though, since I heard somewhere once that he has an inferiority complex, which I can relate to. We also both care about the environment and are emotionally moved by music and the unity of others ^^

@X NUT: Well, lol, I don't know! I have an X poster on my door and my brother will come in and talk about it sometimes. And I have him around when I watch PVs or concerts; he likes the Week End PV a lot. XD

- When everyone in your household knows Yoshiki's name
- When you can have a whole conversation with your mother about the comment Yoshiki gave on MJ
- When your little brother idolizes hide

Yes, it's beginning to affect my family. This is awesome. :D

@roseofpain84: WOW that's a way bigger list than mine, and I thought mine was bad. XD I was able to come up with more since last night >.>

- Thunderstorms
- Having asthma so I can't exercise for very long
- People who don't bother to get the facts on something before they make a decision about it (i.e. choosing to hate/like something without knowing anything about it)
- People who get louder and talk over you when they're trying to make a point and don't even listen to you
- People who get annoying when they're drunk >.>
- Being ignored
- Stereotypes

OK I'm done. >.>

I hope I'm not getting myself in trouble with this one XD It is in no way meant to harm anyone or hurt peoples' feelings, or take your anger out on anyone XD But since there's a "random facts" list and a couple of other topics like "Things that pissed you off" or "Things you liked" I figured I'd start something like this. I hope everyone behaves! ^^;

I hate...

- Haters! XD
- Repeating myself
- People who think they're all that
- TROLLS (not the monster kind, though they aren't very appealing either XD)
- Pepper
- Being sick
- Being talked about
- Being judged
- That I care too much what people think
- Explaining really simple things to people
- Cold weather
- The golfers that hit my house!
- Being far away from a lot of my friends
- My hair! D: It takes forever to straighten
- People who don't bother to try and understand your point of view

Haha, okay, I think I'm done, before people start thinking I hate everything in the world XD So, um...have fun with this?
