thanks so much in advance. For all I know, there has not been any translation done in English of Yoshiki's bio. I'll be looking forward to yours.

Sorry to bring up old topic but just wondering ... is anyone still interested in English translation of d book ? I bought the Chinese version last year n skimmed thru - was wee bit hard for me to read as it's in old Chinese script. But I'll have some free time next month so I thought I will actually read it this time n perhaps translate it. Please let me know if it's already been translated.

Yea!That would be amazing if you could do that!

I know an English version is probably coming (totally buying it), but are you guys aware that it's being translated at X Wonderland? (you need to register to read it completely)

The indies info is amazing, specially on Dynamite-Noise-Early X stuff. If it gets released in English this will probably be the first book that gives us an X history, and a GOOD one while at it =)

That's great. I don't need to continue translating then. Anyway, the book is a good read. Kinda like a novel instead of bio. Do get it if you can.

lol I just started reading at some random parts. That really all sounds like a (pretty kitschy) novel and not a biography haha. :D

I'll be in the next chapter...

@AsukaMiyu
same to me, especially the many parts of the death of hide are very greasy and are repeated in some parts so often, that I felt like "Yeeehes, I got the point", so I need a break and and try it later bit by bit...

Not wanting to get anyone too excited and then dash their hopes but...Yoshiki posted something rather cool on his twitter a few days ago...:

- English version of the book YOSHIKI/佳樹 will be coming soon!!!

Then someone posted this comment, which I found hilarious...

-Define "coming soon" - usually YOSHIKI-time is rather different to everyone else's concept of time ;P

Which was, replied with this...

-Really soon!! According to the publisher!! Kadokawa

So...awesome! In time for Christmas perhaps? Any ideas on what a publisher means when they say really soon? XD

I would prefer the new album over the bio anytime - horrible would be an understatement for it.

So, the plastic surgery is just a rumor? I personally don't believe it. Recently I saw an old, old video where Yoshiki was at the age of 20-22 *you know--very little make-up, half-spiked hair etc*, and he was definitely cute and, I'd say, beautiful back then. I didnt see a reason for plastic surgery.
BTW, our health and youthful appearance really depends on the water we drink *and its quality*; this theory is scientifically grounded ;)

On our Japan trip I was able to find a copy of the book in a used things store in Shimokitazawa. Unfortunatellly my japanese isn't that good  ;)

On the interwebz I found a complete translation. I think this is the version from xwonderland because of the "credit" anouncements. It's not 100% correct, for example the favourite Manga from PATA is Patalliro (Patariro) not Patarico, but it's really worth to read

I'm still reading the translation. Learned a lot of new things about X and Yoshiki. Very intresting.

While I'm away, read this line again...

I'm reading the wattpad translation & this is one of the saddest biographies I have read. Reading this made me cry alot bit (Yoshiki's inner turmoil over the death of his Father kinda feels/sounds similar to when my Mom died).

Ok, so it is 2017 and still no official English release? Umm, I start to grasp what you meant by "Yoshiki time"  :D
