Yoshiki
Since January, Yoshiki has announced a theme song composed by him for Vin Diesel's latest XXX film as well as one for Spycies, an animation film currently in the works. And that's not all. He has played again at Carnegie Hall with the Tokyo Philarmonic Orchestra, then threw a Yoshiki Classical show in Tokyo with live ballet, promoted a web browse game called Idolm@aster, played piano with Sarah Brightman at Dolby Theatre (SF) and at the Radio City Music Hall in NYC, produced more of his Yoshiki wine, worked with Hyde on his new single Zipang, and most importantly... fell off a skateboard.
Toshi
Toshi's been on Japanese TV almost 24/7 yet stil found the time to start a new mockband, Y!Band, to promote Y!mobile in Japan. We'd otherwise call this a clever marketing move, except Toshi made sure to showcase his impressive vocal skills and even more impressive sense of humour by handing over the drummer role to... a cat. Oh, and by the way, we just got wind that Toshi's latest solo album, Im a singer, sold pretty well. Well done!
Sugizo
X Japan's newest member is still true to his values and, according to his Instagram, has been taking part in all kinds of sustainability-centric events. He has also played his solo show, Cosmic Dance, in Bangkok, Thailand, along with a quintet of household name Japanese musicians. Along with Motokatsu, he also played a visually striking show called Drum Tao8.
Pata
Pata is stil rockin' and meowing (really). He was Part of the 『猫好きさんの祭典 にゃんだらけ vol.7』"Cat Love's Festival: Nyanderake Vol. 7" and the『みゅージにゃんメイト #5』"Myugi Nyan Mate # 5". Has also played several gigs over the past year, including with the Tokyo Yankees at the Earthdom livehouse in Tokyo, at the WeROCK 068 festival and at the『hide tribute 2019 〜Stupid Side〜』festival. His next gig with Ra:IN is at the LOFT in Shinjuku, Tokyo, on April 4th. More info at the LOFT homepage
Heath
Heath released some merch lately and there might be more to come. Unfortunately it seems to be mostly sold out, though!
The Album
According to Yoshiki's latest interview on the subject, the album is 100% ready, he just doesn't think now is the right time to release it. Patience, young Padawan!
The Fan Podcast
In case you're wondering what happened to that awesome X Japan fan podcast that seemed to go MIA last year, know that the X Freaks here noticed a new episode is up!
Hey freaks! I'm Kasumi from Germany. I was born 1991 and I listen to Japanese music since ten years now. nb introduced X Japan's music to me a couple years ago. It started with the Vanishing Vision album. Ever since I heard the first few seconds of "Dear Loser", I was hooked. I am super happy we joined the X Freaks community and I got to know all of you wonderful people. :-) Let's continue to enjoy their music together.
Greetings X-Freaks! My name is Hatsor, I'm an old man from Portugal and I was born in '98. I love music and lots of it genres, from norse folk, to baroque, to black metal. I discovered X a while ago when youtube autoplayed AOL Live, and ever since I've started to like them more and more I've been on the chatroom for a while so most of you know me already, but for you forum only users, a big hello!
