Holy crap.

I'm interested, actually. I loved Taiji's biography, so Yoshiki's should be good too. It's about X, so it can't be bad, right? XD

Maybe that lovely person who translated Taiji's bio will do the same for this one. Speaking of that, it seems to have vanished. I had it bookmarked, but the translation is gone. :<

As far as I know, kinokuniya can help you order any Japanese book you want ... so, maybe you should ask the people on kinokuniya to help you ordering this book ...


@Juno42
Oh yeah, the translation of Taiji's biography has vanished ... but I think my 'other forum' still have a copy of it ...

Well, I have that translation of Taiji's biography saved on a document on my computer. Glad I saved it before the site was taken down. ;)

No, there was a good chunk missing. :( I'm not sure how much exactly, but I know the Toshi section was not translated along with a bit more.

You can now pre-order the book from cdjapan.co.jp!

It costs 2200YEN (~$22/€16) and the release date is May 27th (not May 25th as said in the first post, it might go on sale in stores earlier or the date of release might have been changed, but it's only two days).

This is my administrator color.

Yoshiki's Mum is the greatest Mum one could have hoped for.  All of us who love X owe her enormously.  She fully supported her son despite initially wanted Yo to be "normal" but then when he decided to go to Tokyo, she sent him 500000yen a month and Yoshiki kept working..and when he decided to produce VV and went to his Mum (also with his brother's persuation) ... 10000000 yen went to Yoshiki's account and he never asked for her money again.   All after his Mum made a lot of $$ on investment after selling the Kimono shop.  Life is strange.  I think his father, afterall, is looking after them from somewhere despite leaving them early.

The rest was history as we said.

Thanks holly.x for giving insight into d book. Appreciate it.

Yes, many thanks to Yoshiki's mom. I can't imagine the pressure she faced with other moms, her kid being not so stream-lined. I hear it's kinda strict in Japan reagarding one's conduct.
