Yoshiki / Re: Impending postponement/delay

« on: May 16, 2017, 06:44:18 AM »

Well, as all.of you said, we talk about the delays because thats all that happens nowadays and because we are pretty much done with the other topics by now xD that doesn't mean we don't love the band and enjoy the music anymore! Man, the wembley show was THE BEST CONCERT SINCE THE REUNION!!!! LOL I was ready to let go of X, but the concert (and the whole weekend with the signing session and we are x with kijak in the cinema) was just so fucking awesome that I need to stay here some more. LOL

I guess X fans have to be masochists to stay fans for a long. But we stay because we want to and because we care. Aaah I don't even know if I'm making sense right now. XD anyway,  feel free to give your opinion on all those other fun topics with a fresh perspective. 

And now, let's hope Yoshiki's surgery today goes well!!! >_<

(update: I just realized that my browser didn't show the last few entries, so sorry if I'm pointlessly repeating something that was already said in the meantime *headdesk*)

This forum rather looks like a lot of you guys would be happy to see him dead even, being hurt for not getting an album as promised.

What the hell!?!?!??!?!? I'm pretty sure everyone said that they wish him the best with the surgery! Your skills in misinterpreting what everyone wrote are amazing. I won't even answer anything of all your claims about what we allegedly think about Yoshiki and X. Obviously it's useless to try and explain our point.

This may sound a bit harsh but my only wish now is for Yoshiki to just announce that the album is never going to drop and just end the band. Do one last tour or show at the Tokyo Dome or something, go out with one last bang and just put the band to rest instead of dragging this half-dead corpse around. X Japan is nothing more than a tribute/nostalgia act at this point clinging on the successes they made more than 20 years ago, instead of trying to build a brand new platform for themselves and aim for the future. I understand the band probably had huge plans around the time of their reformation but it's been clear for the past few years that Yoshiki's hubris has already steered the band into a trainwreck that has barely any hope of making it out. There's only so many times that you can say "the album is 99% done".

That's how I've been feeling for a couple of years now... -__-
But it seems more and more like the best thing to do. How sad.

Why not get the surgery years ago? Its not like X Japan has been the huge, active touring and creative juggernaut. He doesnt even work that hard with X, they do an average of like 10 shows a year. Theyve often gone almost entire year-spans of zero activity.

YES THAT! -_-

About all the waiting and lying... I don't really care about the delays concerning the album but very well about all the cancellations, many of which happened with vague reasoning ever since 2008. I mean, people SPEND ACTUAL MONEY ON THAT! And how would you blame them for booking stuff that can't be refunded? Like.. "LOL it's your own fault if you're stupid enough to trust X!"
(Btw, for all the past events I only booked refundable or really late. So much about trust. It's non-existant by now.)

I could keep ranting and analysing everything concerning Yoshiki and the reunion now, but I'd basically have to write a book about it if I'd try to mention every little aspect of it. So I'll rather not even start going there.

Emergency Surgery on May 16th.

https://www.facebook.com/XplosionFanpage/posts/1493757510647785

I think that's the surgery that he was supposed to do two years after the first one back in 2009...

Haha, that's just what I said when I saw those posts as well!
"Oh he's preparing his next delay/cancellation!"

By now I don't expect anything anymore though, so I don't really caaaaare~!
(I just want that We are X Bluray!!)

The Last Live / Re: RUMOR: Last Live played against X Japan's will?

« on: April 15, 2017, 11:24:22 PM »

Looking back at the last live from now, after knowing Toshis side as well, I actually don't want to watch it anymore at all. >_< I don't want to go into detail on what I think about Yoshiki's role in all of this, but something else:

...the number of (re)releases of last live videos and songs recoded then is super high. I always thought that was weird but maybe Yoshiki is just a masochist and enjoys spending time working with that material again and again...

« on: April 01, 2017, 11:38:59 PM »

Well about the Last Song and Art of Life... So much about 100% new songs...? -_-
But Yoshiki keeps forgetting his own plans all the time anyway, so yeah, whatever. We'll find out whenever the album actually gets released....

Rant but ToshI to me has been the only one to seem truly invested and has come off the most genuine and the most awe-inspiring to watch with the comeback. He has given his all to increasing his vocal performance and everyone has noticed. He has been a true musician! It has been a joy to hear him sing X songs again. I will say that I am looking forward to hearing his beautiful voice on the new songs.

THANK YOU for pointing that out!! I feel like Toshi isn't even getting half of the appreciation he deserves!

The Concerts / Re: X Japan World Tour 2017

« on: March 21, 2017, 09:20:56 PM »

Our Japanese team member wrote this article. When we talked about it she mentioned that it's not clear yet what will happen when but apparently Yoshiki said that people should reserve time from the end of June to the beginning of July...? As always, many hints but no facts.

(I just hope they don't come anywhere near while I can't take days off from work! That would be sad!!)

Only getting to London later this week, so no movie for me.
I'm afraid it will take quite some more time until I'm able to see the whole movie. >_<

LOOOOOOOOL, guys! Apparently the post with the merch was taken down. XD
Probably they didn't like all the negative comments.

And yeah, the 'normal' shirt and the hoodie look okay but I'm not sure if i'm willing to spend so much money on that...

They should release the video a month ago... 

Indeed. -_- So many friends are like "Woah, now I feel like going!!! But everything is too expensive now... -_-"

Oh, how very sweet is that? All songs can only be bought with the whole album! ^___^
So if you want La Venus, look forwward to the 23097569247th version Kurenai, Forever Love and many more...!

WHAT THE HELL!? Fine then, no La Venus for me for now!

I wonder if that's because of Amazon or a general change. Let's hope it's only some Amazon mistake... LOL

If it took place and you didn't go...would you feel sorry? Then you should go!!

I don't think they'll be back to Europe anytime soon (if ever) and this is for once a concert that's at least moderately appropriate for a band like X, that usually plays huge venues!

Regarding We are X, I suppose they just didn't update the description LOL But of course I hope that they will still show it.

Aaaand also booked flight & hotel! ^__^ Since we are staying a bit longer, we'll have a nice London vacation even if X dare to cancel again. (If they dare doing that, I'm done with them, seriously. -_-)

Hey, wasn't there also that track named "Superstar" for which he has just recorded Toshi's vocals? ...some months ago...?
That's one we didn't hear at all so far, I think! LOL

But all we know are work-in-progress versions and not the finished masterpieces that yoshiki will put on the album!!!  [sarcasm mode off]

Some days ago a new Poll went online on Xplosion about when people think we'll get the new album. The results so far illustrate are both amusing and sad. -___-

returner, that's exactly the impression I had as well. He just spends weeks doing random stuff and only goes to the studio once the deadline is knocking in the door. seriously when did he start working on those two songs? when they showed him the soundtrack press release for final approval?  -_-

I think this "unplugged" version is the same which was on "The World".

Actually according to the press release about the soundtrack, both La Venus and Without You were recorded this year. o_O
