A friend of mine with supposed contacts within the Expo management (I have no idea how reliable this is) told me that they probably will not be there personally (<-RUMOR), instead some kind of movie will be shown.
It's on the JE schedule, at 14:00 on Saturday.
I have no idea what it's of and how it will be presented.

Now, did everyone already know this so I made a fool of myself? XD

It's announced on the JE website that Saturday at 2pm there will be a video of X Japan.

Then there's a surprise at 5pm, but no idea if it's related to X Japan or not (probably not...).

If you go the the X-Japan official myspace you'll see new photos of some sort of event occurred yesterday in Paris...I wonder what that is...

My guess is that it had something to do with X Japan's new French website, and rollerskating. XD

But yeah, I hope there's an update about anything X Japan-related at Japan Expo soon! It's 5:00 in France right now. I wonder what the suprise is that Japan Expo mentioned (and if it's even X Japan-related XD")? o.o

Why couldn't the damn film be longer? I was awaiting a full Destruction at first, but after Rusty Nail, Silent Jeaousy, ten minutes of Art of Life and X, over already? If anyone saw me, I was the crazy lolita in black in the second/first row in front.

Way to go, guys! Awesome atmosphere! ThX for being so energetic, it made me happy, and probably X as well, if they ever see the footage.

That rollerskating looks... =OOO AWESOME. WHY COULDN'T I BE THERE. Was it a secret event or something, since I haven't heard a WHISPER about it? Shame I'd just fall on my butt if I tried to rollerskate. I can barely walk gracefully, so...

Also, what kind of X-merchandise was there for sale? I didn't find anything but the photos, zippos and photobook. I bought a zippo with X's logo, myself. 40 euros for a zippo is a bit expensive, but I had money to waste, so...

Oh wow, I can't believe there were so many people! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know there's a vast array of hardcore fans like that outside Japan :D

Actually, there weren't that many people. But then, it would be foolish to compare it with last year, when Yoshiki himself came.
All in all, the atmosphere was quite good. I talked to some Japanese girls who came as well and they were all impressed with European fans.

Pony rocks!

There were much more people at Ra:IN yesterday ! But there were still a lot of people when you think it was JUST A VIDEO :D lol !

It was really weird to do the X stuffs and all on a video... but anyway, there was a really great atmosphere there ! We really showed X that we're supporting them !

lol 100 at least? Not at all!

We had around 250 BXtE flyers and we already finished with handing out those  when the first "line" thing was about half full  :shock:

I was stuck between people though and didn#t see much, soI don't know how much there were at the end.

...When the morning begins
I'll be in the next chapter...

I'd say the "room" could hold like 2000 persons MAX. It was about half full during X Japan video, so I'd say about 750-1000 persons. It's just an estimation though.

Did you wear a green shirt by chance? And cried?
Definitely more than 100 people (that was way more than just 4 school classes :lol:). I think approximately 500 people... if not even more.

Man, what was that rollerskate thing? Why didn't anybody know about this except the skaters?! :o When I've seen this on Sunday right after having arrived home, I actually got a knot in my brain while trying to get this. Me and Mav just were staring at the screen and asking each other something like "When actually?! Did they rent the Eiffel Tower? Who are these people? Why didn't I know it? What the hell was going on there?!"

Yeah... where's my competence team? :o

I liked the atmosphere at the film gig very much. Though I still don't really get how excited people can get about a video they most likely even already know. Uhum... but I don't wanna complain, it was fun! :lol:

ON JACK DANIEL'S...

PATA!!!
:o

:lol:

mod mode

And out of the chaos I heard a voice telling me:
"Smile and be happy - it could have become worse!"
So I smiled and was happy... and it became worse
