Yoshiki / Re: Disney MY MUSIC STORY: YOSHIKI

« on: February 20, 2021, 09:39:12 AM »

the poor guy has always to follow this schedule when he's interviewed...   

When it comes to My Music Story the concept of the documentary probably played a huge role in what the content was going to be. I tried to find out what the documentary is supposed to aim at exactly, but I can't find it on Disney's webpage. But then again this is a Disney +Japan thing originally.

Roughly it is his music story so it was probably impossible to avoid the fact that the audience would get hear many things that they'd already heard. He's been telling his story since We Are X. On the other hand for some this might be the first time hearing it all.

If we are talking about interviews or appearances in general I have to agree there seems to be a bit of a pattern. But is it him or is it the ones asking the questions?

When he was in Finland promoting We Are X Yoshiki gave some interviews and almost everyone of them were exact copies of eachother. Of course the movie was in focus so everyone asked about it and that's understandable, but I remember being a bit frustrated while watching and reading them 'coz it felt like it was the same thing over and over again... Should probably watch and read again to see if they actually were as much alike as I remember 🙂

I searched almost every site to find the English subtitles before I share this link. I found some Chinese sub but unfortunately don’t find the English version.

But as a Japanese learner, even though I have a poor Japanese, I can really say I’m totally agree with magucathy.^^

I'm not blaming you for the fact that there aren't any english subtitles It's already super nice that you found the video and shared the link. And from what you are saying it sounds like there wasn't that much new to be heard. Understanding it would be much nicer though. If not for anything else then at least for the fact that you'd be able to comment on it fairly. Well maybe it will turn up subtitled at some point

Have watched it now but the lack of subtitles really makes it hard to comment. I recognized a few words here and there so most of the time I had an idea what Yoshiki was talking about, but I don't know enough japanese to know what was being said.

I liked the parts where he was rehearsing with the string quartet and the parts from the studio. Basically all the parts where he was working. For me it's always fun to see how things are put together and what the "making of" looks like. The arrangement for Let It Go is really nice too.

has anybody noticed Yoshiki's (new?) habit of saying "hmm" between sentences, every now and then? 

Aaah.... I read this before I watched the documentary and reacted to every "hmm" I heard  

Thanks for the link Liliah!

If I had to pick a favourite member from X Japan it would probably be Heath. I don't know much about the guy and he doesen't get that much coverage but somehow I really like him. And I've never heard anyone play the bass like this.
