With all of this effort of promoting trying to help promote them in US/Europe, surely one can assume that is because there is a tour in the works? Or would we be foolish to assume something like that would happen again?

We can't comment, of course, and I know many fans are frustrated by delays. All we can say is... #NothingIsImpossible.

Thanks, Everyone. Once a day will be great, too, if that's what you're comfortable with.

Awards like this based on fan involvement are important, because the recognition of fan support is what helps get X Japan feature articles in mainstream Us/European magazines and TV that normally wouldn't feature any Japanese band at all. The article says X Japan's "legions of fans seem more like a real army."

Hey everyone!

It will play a couple of times at the IDFA in Amsterdam https://www.idfa.nl/nl/festival.aspx  and at the 17th of November Yoshiki will give a performance. I just bought my tickets!
Any more of you guys going?

You're so lucky to go see him in Amsterdam! The Melkweg is supposed to be a great performance space!

General chat / LA Weekly: Japanese Superstar Yoshiki Finally Gets the Rock Doc He Deserves

« on: October 20, 2016, 12:53:06 AM »

"I didn’t want We Are X to be a horror film,” says Yoshiki, who has been a Los Angeles resident for 20 years. “I didn’t even want to make this film. It’s very hard for me to go over sad memories. I said yes because people surrounding me convinced me it would help others and give them the courage to move on and move forward. I thought that was a great reason. I want to give people hope. Whoever watches this film, I want them to feel positive, at least toward the end.”
