hide / Indian Summer Special Limited Edition CD

« on: July 14, 2019, 11:05:55 PM »

Not sure if this is against the rules but it seems sharing youtube links is allowed so once I get this done I will share it as a youtube link.

The limited edition CD of the concert that was only given with certain tickets to the theater viewings here in Japan has not been shared with the world
which seems like a great shame since it is seemingly not going to be sold anytime soon and the world should not be deprived of this gem any longer.
So I am going to order it on Mercari here in Japan and upload it for everyone.
Would be cool if someone who already owns it would do so and save me some trouble though but either way this needs to be done for sure so I am on it. /m/
Will put it on Youtube in full plus other places in 320k mp3 format. Will post here after it is completed or if anyone who has it and wants to be kind let me know /m/

Yoshiki / Re: Yoshiki on NHK World "SONGS OF TOKYO"

I am an active musician in the visual kei scene here and one of my buddies also from California who is now a big jpop singer here now posted about it on his private facebook and I got connected to a guy who does TV work here, they were looking for people who were foreigners and fans of bands like Luna Sea, X, and Larc en ciel if memory serves, so I imagine those bands are going to get features as well. I emailed the guy my info and got in. But when I went to the NHK building in Shibuya I was the only one from that connection and everyone else was lined up from the casting company.

Yah of course I know hes done stuff like this before but there is that part of me that still holds X and Yoshiki up to this standard, a kind of hope,
it is the naive 12 year old fan in me who still holds on I guess haha.

As much as it is Yoshiki's decision to do such things for image there is also the fact that the media here sucks and always uses foreigners as tools, so maybe that just justifies his actions to himself.
Initially they had selected me for the talk section as well but then maybe me being a real fan compared to the normies they ended up with would have been a giveaway by contrast idk. Just another nail in the coffin to me.

I was there for the shooting of Endless Rain and it was kind of embarrassing. The Japanese people singing in the choir were generally fans, I believe selected from Yoshiki mobile lottery. All the foreigners except me were from a casting company, pretty much most of them had no clue who Yoshiki was. I was right next to the foreigners they had chose for the talk section with him and they straight up did not know anything about X, so it was really sad to me to see that they were just trying to project an image of "oh X is famous overseas! look at all the gaijin!" haha. My buddy who is a famous singer here hooked me up with the connection to get in on the shooting, it was of course a pleasure to be around Yoshiki again but yah, playback on the piano, and the whole casting company bs made it really awkward to be around a bunch of people who had no interest in X but were singing endless rain to that background video @_@

Either this is already out or it won't be long, now.  Hide-city has it as a Blu Ray and also regular DVD but I can't quite understand what I am reading on there.  So I don't know if it's pre-order or it's already up for sale.  Arrrgh.  I want it and I know I won't understand anything that is said which will be excruciating.

It will be released on the 12/5 here and there is a screening for Thailand planned as well. I doubt hiroshi will do anything about english subtitles though : /
