... and the haters/complainers come out of the woodwork...

Really, I don't get why people complain about the fact that X is reuniting at all.

Give them time, Rome was not built in a day and neither was X Japan. They are not mp3 files in winamp, of course they won't be perfect everytime they perform.

Sure, some of their performance CAN be improved, but there's no need for people to bitch and bitch and bitch about it!

Sheesh...

Edit: and again, the equalizer plays as much a part in how the music sounds. (Check the difference between Last Live DVD and Perfect Tv version on youtube for example)

Really i think every person got the right to criticize, good or bad. We all love X, no one hates the band here.

well I got to watch the first part of Without you ... *grumbles at internet* It was really gorgeous *cries*

I completely agree everyone has a right to their opinion ^_^

I imagine that even without ten years between now and when they last played these songs, the emotions and thoughts going through their heads are more than enough to distract them ... if I were them I'd be a mess xD

I have full faith in them and despite age or problems [why the hell is Yoshiki not wearing his braces!? ><] they have the energy and sure as hell don't know when to take a rest [obviously ... *rolls eyes at Yoshiki*] and are there to give us everything they have! And I appreciate that more than anything.

So it's offical that Yoshiki claims he's alright? I saw on JaME that he said so in the press conference afterwards.

Clarification:

The above post was not solely aimed at Rafaell, it was just a response to a number of people who really had nothing better to do other than complain about their performance (in youtube/other forums - jpopforum for one, etc).

I have no qualms about criticism, it is the complaining that gets to me.

And yes, I do believe that once X has more time to sort out technical difficulties, more time to rehearse etc. They will be as good as they were.

It's cool. :)

Quote from: "Hollywood"
I don't personally care about mistakes: I'm much more into passion than accuracy.  And that was more passion than I expected.  Well done, X Japan.


Sorry man, I had to repeat your words and put them in bold. You said it, you just said it. And you said it perfectly.

To the people who complain about mistakes, lack of accuracy, bad voice, lack of energy whatsoever... No offense or anything. Everyone's got their points and oppinions. BUT, I'm sorry but I'll have to say it:

A piece of ART is much more than perfection. You know why? Because humans are the only kind of life that's not perfect. Irrational animals are not able to commit mistakes; they're instinctive, their minds are programmed to act a certain way. Humans, on the other hand, have a different characteristic; fragility. And it's from that fragility, that lack of perfection that something else is originated: creativity. The ability to break nature's rules. The ability to create. And when you create, you should never let yourself be guided by perfection stereotypes. If you do, you won't be any more interesting than a dog. There you go. You should let yourself be lead by passion. Without being afraid of messing it all up. Sometimes it happens. But it's okay; you gave all of you, you did what your heart told you to, you did things with love.

Sorry for all of this phylosophycal talk. I know it can be considered a bit off topic. But what I mean is simple: In my opinion, there was passion, there were feelings shown in this performance. Perfect or not.

Woah, I can haz admin colour.

wow, you said it just perfect, thats all I can say.
I think they did an amazing job, I mean, there is no band who can get me crying, none! but when I heard Toshi's beautifull voice sing the Last Song, I simply broke down.
Amazing concert and Im seriously PISSED OFF for not being there !

Yes, I'd say it that way too, RoseofPain.

When I'm asked why I like X Japan so much, I always think the same: No other band is capable of making me cry.

I wonder if the people commenting on lack of energy have thought about the fact that they are not playing one, or two but three concerts? And to top that, that they are playing them in three consecutive nights!

NEWS, about Yoshiki.
(well, it brings nothing new, still, I think this adds some more details)

I found this in http://hoshi-nishimura.livejournal.com/32855.html (he's got the links there, too.)


Quote
YOSHIKI which lost consciousness on a stage understood that the state that consciousness did not become clear led to the performance end back.
According to position office, YOSHIKI regained consciousness after the live broadcasting end and held an interview for the overseas media.

However, consciousness becomes it dimly again in the seat and left it off, but it is said that I am unconscious again and fell into it in the car of the return.
I invite a doctor to the dressing room of Tokyo Dome and dealt with treatment, but, as for the holding of the live broadcasting on 29th, it becomes not yet decided it afterwards without consciousness recovering as of 1:00 in the middle of the night of 28th.




The translation is bad, but it's enough to understand that he hadn't regained conciousness by the time of the publishing of those last news.

Does anyone know anything else?

Thanks for posting that news, every little detail helps.  I haven't seen anything else myself, unfortunately.

It's now 11:15 AM (March 29th) in Tokyo.  Hopefully there will be some more news soon.

(Totally agree with you about how art is more than perfection, by the way.  Well said!)

I assume the download is torrent? on d-addicts? I forget what they usually do.

@Kurenai Tenshi ... yeah I agree with you I've mostly only seen pictures and they seem very emotionally charged and energetic ^^

Even Yoshiki was laughing and smiling when he was destroying his drum set!  :P  :P  It's been a long time since the last time he did it, right.

And who wouldn't be charged with so many hide there! I really love the hologram & the tube screen on hide's spot. Such a lovely & sweet gesture!

Talking about the hologram, soon after Yoshiki announced that they'll have the concert on Spring 2008, I discussed about it with my friend. I was talking i'd be great if there'll be hide's hologram. And they really did it!!!!!

Guys, I'm pretty worried.

A midday article has been translated and it turned out that Yoshiki might not have regained conciousness so far. By deduction, it could be considered that he slipped into a coma.

BUT this totally UNNOFICIAL. The result of rough translations and logic. Please do NOT go spam everywhere that he's in coma or anything. I'm just posting this to keep you as informed as I can get.
Please wait for official anouncements before taking your conclusions.

If anyone knows anything, any kind of news about him, PLEASE post.

Woah, I can haz admin colour.

The links are these articles in japanese. Somebody from LJ translated them (though roughly).

http://hoshi-nishimura.livejournal.com/ (translation, though I've post it already)

http://music8.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/visualb/1206738547/235

http://p.pic.to/ovqa7

But PLEASE keep in mind that this is a mere deduction. Nothing official has been released yet. I know just as much as you do.

I really hope so. I hope my deductions are pretty wrong than.

What's scary is that the article actually mentioned him being unconscious for a long time... leaving us in doubt if he's conscient now or not yet.

I hope that by unconscious it just means asleep (since it's a way of unconscuoisness), or still in rehabilitation.

Gee, X Japan is always too much drama :P... but it's good to live it now instead of just write about it.

It seems that those articles were published a while ago, though.  The first two mention that it's 1 AM on the night of the 28th and he hasn't recovered-- but right now in Japan it's 2:15 PM on the 29th.  13 hours later.  So it's entirely possible he may be conscious by now... 13 hours have passed since the articles.  (Has there really been no news during that entire 13 hours?)

But yeah, if anyone has any Yoshiki news-- anything at all-- PLEASE post.
