X JAPAN in SAW IV

Kyubi · **on:** October 08, 2007, 08:50:21 PM

According to the production note which you can read here:
http://www.lionsgatepublicity.com/epk/saw4/docs/pro_notes.doc (page 25)

X JAPAN will perform in the fourth SAW movie (release on the 21st november in France).
The song is called IV and is composed by Yoshiki.

Yoshiki should stop performing in movies and release some CDs! XD

Let's see what happens, but if this become true, it will be really amazing.

Sander · **Reply #2 on:** October 08, 2007, 08:58:29 PM

Wooosh! Now that's some cool news

And it's less than a month away :O

Unless I mistake something and they really mean 2008?

Anna · **Reply #3 on:** October 08, 2007, 09:10:08 PM

They should mean 2007, I think. :shock:
That would be just awsome!

darkcat21 · **Reply #4 on:** October 08, 2007, 09:16:12 PM

No, it's 2007, the movie is released this 26th in my country.

ferret · **Reply #5 on:** October 08, 2007, 09:16:57 PM

Ugh, Yoshiki is really giving me a hard time to actually respect him lately :?
Stop it, my dear, those movies are utter bs.

AsukaMiyu · **Reply #6 on:** October 08, 2007, 09:18:27 PM

Too much hollywood movie stuff, in my opinion >_>
Okay, but actually that's a GOOD way to become more wellknown overseas. AND yoshiki is forced to actually release the songs he wrote

Well, I'm curious about that IV song O_o

However I think it's REALLY strange if X "came back" like that? In the ending theme or a horror movie?? And didn't Toshi say he won't sing any songs with a negative message? x_x (don't remember the original wording)

Anna · **Reply #7 on:** October 08, 2007, 09:26:21 PM

Personally, I can't really say I mind Yoshiki's songs in SAW-likes... at least there will be something good about those movies.

Just my personal opinion, but for me it doesn't really count as comeback... it's not a live concert or anything. But that doesn't stop me from looking forward to it.

I think he did say something like this, but I don't know the exact words, either. And well, we haven't heard the song yet, so perhaps there was something about it that Toshi liked? :wink:

Oh and something I thought about and researched abit

Peter Block- executive producer in Catacombs and Saw IV
Mark Burg- producer in Catacombs and Saw IV
Jason Constantine- executive producer in Catacombs and Saw IV
Oren Koules- producer in Catacombs and Saw IV

One single song can't save them

I'll just wait for that song to appear on youtube.

Well... yeah. I guess I won't really go to see the movie, too. Probably. Don't know yet. But hell, I want to hear Toshi... :?

Menacia · **Reply #12 on:** October 08, 2007, 09:48:27 PM

o.o;;;;
X coming back and the first thing they are doing, is a song for a movie and the movie is SAW IV ....
Even though I haven'T watched any movies of that series (I do like horror movies, but those meat-grinder-movies get boring now) I'll definetely watch this one.

Now what I'm more curious is the fact, that the song is called I.V. ...
YOSHIKI is really liking capital letters with dots between them now.
I'm wondering if there is any meaning to I.V.

Anyways, it was about time we got any news concerning this topic.

Intravenous. I guess people will bleed a lot, so it could be useful.

Amethyst_Dahlia · **Reply #14 on:** October 08, 2007, 10:36:56 PM

If this is true, I now have a reason to see that movie. XD

And about IV, it could be the medical shot as you were saying, or it could be because in Roman numerals, 4 is "IV", and this is Saw 4. ^^

XXX · **Reply #15 on:** October 09, 2007, 01:36:53 AM

This is just crazy. Our favorite band doing their comeback in an american horror movie...
Even if I'm excited to hear the new song, I think this is not a proper X-comeback!

alex · **Reply #16 on:** October 09, 2007, 01:41:29 AM

Whatever, I think it's awesome

Thinking about what kind of movie it is, it may even be a "violent" song as Toshi himself would describe it.

Kyubi · **Reply #17 on:** October 09, 2007, 04:59:39 AM

Wow I'm surprised you aren't talking about "the X Japan come back without hide" subject.... I posted this news on a french X Japan forums and they are all yelling at Yoshiki because he did a new song under the name of X JAPAN.

Boring.

Sander · **Reply #18 on:** October 09, 2007, 05:27:27 AM

Well we have scared most of the fangirls off, so

Anna · **Reply #19 on:** October 09, 2007, 06:57:58 AM

Yeah. I am sad hide's gone, but very happy to have the rest of the band together, so there's nothing to blame Yoshiki for. Poor chap. :?

agreed. Why blame YOSHIKI if he got the band back together and got himself so far to do it again

, and do even a new song

BizKiTRoAcH · **Reply #21 on:** October 09, 2007, 12:23:05 PM

I've got this feeling that they fucked it up and its probably a Violet UK song and not an X Japan song. Surely if X Japan did a new song for Saw IV the Japanese newspapers and websites would have found out about it?? I highly doubt he would keep a new X Japan song such a secret considering how many millions of people want to see X Japan again

Sander · **Reply #22 on:** October 09, 2007, 01:10:54 PM

Then again, remember the fuzz over VUK in Catacombs? Well there should be atleast SOMETHING

A magazine told something like that X would perform in a movie released in November.
BTW, it's confirmed, X will apear along Dir en Grey:

BizKiTRoAcH · **Reply #24 on:** October 09, 2007, 03:12:31 PM

darkcat, I would hardly call that confirmed as all they've put are band names... but if X are involved, I still dont know why they would do it like this.. Maybe its an older unreleased X song? Making a "comeback" on the soundtrack for Saw 4 is not the wisest choice... its better than nothing though!

Sander · **Reply #25 on:** October 09, 2007, 03:15:41 PM

I still am wondering, where is the hype? I mean even if it's an old song or something... There should be something in the newspapers and stuff...

Amethyst_Dahlia · **Reply #26 on:** October 09, 2007, 03:46:04 PM

Maybe the track listing is only for the Japanese release of the soundtrack. o.o I've heard mention of other bands (including a former member of Nine Inch Nails, the band Saosin, and a bunch more I can't remember at the moment) that are supposed to be on the Saw 4 soundtrack, and none of them are on the list provided in that link. O_o

Well, that's just an early track listing. http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/7510626/a/Saw+4.htm
This website also mentions X. And an extended version will be released too in November.

Kyubi · **Reply #29 on:** October 09, 2007, 05:59:36 PM

Anyway, no matter what you'll read in newspapers etc.

X Japan IS in the production notes... And I think there is no better source of information, is there?
