Yeah, I'd love to know that as well... I heard about Taiji With Heaven's, and also read somewhere that he had a project with Gentaro from Otokaze, called Gen&Taiji... And in his blog he said he will be helping Cloud Nine again in some concert(s)... Plus he's back with D.T.R... If Otokaze is still active than Taiji must be really busy lately... ^^

I have Otokaze's debut album, and it's really good... Their sound is something more popish than Taiji's other projects, but it's very good... Masayo's voice isn't that great, but the music itself makes up for it... "Do It Yourself" and "Get Your Heart" are my favorite songs...

Im my opinion D.T.R is way better than Otokaze... Any of their albums are good, but I would recommend the first one, "Dirty Trashroad" from 1994 which has all my favorite songs from the band...

Pata's solo albums also kick ass... "Raised On Rock" is my favorite...

I prefer his first self-titled album, it has a wider variety of styles I think.. Raised on Rock is fookin awesome though :D

I got Ra:IN's (Pata's current band) "Before the Siren" album (from cdjapan.co.jp) and I think it kicks arse :D

A friend of mine has it, and I also think it's pretty good... Pata's albums with P.A.F. are also amazing... Only Dope Headz hasn't plased me that much...

And another fantastic album by Taiji outside of X is Loudness' self-titled from 1992... Taiji+Akira+Higuchi was a frickin' great combo...

thanks for all the respnse ....think i will get rose and blood tour first...if cannot get...then i will get taiji's D.T.R albums.....cos now waiting for my thunder in the east album to come....got listen to some of d.t.r ballads like chain...not bad....but sounds like the stuff he did at D.T.R is way more heavy than the stuff he did at Otokaze..
...hmm....for pata stuff, heard the reviews for his solo albums and ra:in albums are not bad...haha....it will cost a bomb if i wish to collect all of them....haha.....so i think i will get D.T.R albums first lo.....see whether the music shop can get the cds from their jap supplier  a not.....
  i am just glad that taiji is still making music ....will always support him and x japan....to me he's still the one that stands out for bass in j rock music bah.....
