If it wasn't for bit torrents and youtube, X wouldn't have many people outside Asia who even know who they are. This is one case of a band that is pretty much touring North America due to most people discovering them on the net in some way or another.

As for Jade, like a couple of people said, is it going to stop US from buying the single/album? Hell no!

I'm sure that Yoshiki and Co. are fully aware of this and I don't think that they mind it really. As you said it: the fans spreading the news what got them here and gave them a solid following years after they've disbanded. So yeah, I think we are all forgiven (at least for now). :D

I am NOT a fangirl!

And I actually like that they took the main riff out of the beginning of the song, I never liked it that much.
Seems on the new shorter preview they have up now, it's still included.

I heard there was a studio you wanted to track some drums in, but it was booked, so you bought it. If so, that totally rules. How did this all come about?

I was in Los Angeles and everybody was talking about this studio, that it had the best drum-sounding room and I tried to book it.  Metallica had booked this studio for almost a year straight [for their "Black" album], so I asked, ‘how about after Metallica,’ but I was told there was a list of bands already who had already booked the studio.  So I asked ‘how can I get in?’ and I was told ‘buy the studio’ and I said, ‘OK, I’ll buy it’ and I bought it.

When does the new album come out? Is there a title yet, and who is releasing it?

The band’s new album will be out in 2011, no title yet, haven’t announced the North American label yet.  The first single, “Jade” will be available starting October 1.

lol. rich people and stubborn as ever, just buy the studio. hahaha

Only a few more days until the Jade single is released, but I decided to patch together the two versions of Jade which have been released on the X Japan website in order to give the full song (part of the introduction was removed from the original long version).

Here's the high quality MP3. I left out adding the Piano introduction, as no decent quality clip of it exists on the internet. I did consider using some of my high end VST's to re-create the piano and string introduction (East West Quantum Leap Pianos and Symphonic Orchestra Gold), but in the end I decided not to. It would sound good, but not the same.

For some reason I was expecting the CD quality that they had back then lol. I'm tearing up at how crystal clear and tolerable it is T_T

Yeaaaaaah, not a chance in hell XD

I think Yoshiki meant that radio play starts from today? If we were gonna get an Itunes release I'm sure it wouldn't just appear up on there. There would be a lot of promotion from the X Japan website and other official sources of media if the single was going to go on sale.

Heres what I have so far for the final lyrics of Jade
the (???) means i cant understand that part
i cant speak or read japanese so im assuming the japanese parts the same
BTW i LOVE the studio version
and so far the lyrics are some of Yoshiki's best english ones I think

Walk through the light to find your shadow
Till your gods throw you from the edge
Sank in the dark to feel the distance
Was it your secret?
Stop holding your fear
Let memory live and die alone
No need to be there,
Let your desire scream, ’till you feel alive
‘Cause you are beautiful, your scars are beautiful, Like the jade
You’ll still shine when you sink into the sea
When the bleeding, scarlet jealousy comes away, believe
Make (dawn of the mind?) the wings of night, looking to the eyes of fallen angels
Sink like a stone into the dark where no light can touch
Will God break my fall?
I feel the mystery tries to take me alone, to the end of the world
Where I still believe (???)
Hold your light ‘Cause you are beautiful
Your (love or blood?) was beautiful, yesterday
I still hide, at the scene of memories
Oh I still hold my rosary beneath the way of life
Will the tears wipe the bloody face of love (???)
Flows like the stars of the sky
Walk in the ocean out of mind
Makes me wanna die (???)
Ah, another day has gone, another self has gone to the flame
It’s burning love
自分で切り裂いた 胸の傷跡さえ 未来になる 迄
‘Cause you are beautiful, your scars are beautiful like the jade
You’ll still shine, when you sink into the sea
When all the bleeding, scarlet jealousy comes away, believe
Our love forever, You’ll believe, Leave your mystery, In your heart
My Jade

When all the bleeding, scarlet jealousy comes away, believe => When all the bleeding scarlet jealousy calves away your belief

Our love forever, You’ll believe, Leave your mystery, In your heart => Now and forever you'll be loved, Let your destiny lead your heart

well aside from the noun version which is the plural word for "baby cow" =P
it can also be used as a verb "to break away"

No.

Maybe when he said "released" he meant posted online on their website? I have no idea.

From the sound of it, he only recorded drums for Jade around a week before the "final mix teaser" was posted online.

We probably have a while to wait yet.

Here is my best shot at the lyrics! ;D

Walk through the light to find the shadow,
Till your God stole you from the edge,
Sunk in the thought, the feel, the distance,
Was it your secret?
Stop holding your fear, let memory live and die alone.
No need to be there, let your desire scream,

Till you feel alive.
Cause you are beautiful,
Your scars are beautiful,
Like the jade.
You'll still shine, when you sink into the sea,
When the bleeding scarlet jealousy, carves (cause?) the way you believe.

Brink of the light, the wings of the night,
Look into the eyes of fallen angels,
Sink like a stone into the dark,
Where no light can touch.
Will God break my fall?
I feel the mystery, tries to take me along,
To the end of the world, where I still believe,
The colour (is?) from your eyes.

Cause you were beautiful,
Your blood was beautiful, yesterday,
I still hide at the seam of memories,
Oh, I still hold my rosary, beneath the vail of life.
Will the tears, wipe the bloody face of love, will they take away the stain,
Know that the stars of the sky,
Glow in the ocean,
The art of life,
Makes me wanna die in the colour of heaven.

Oh, another day has gone,
Another friend has gone into the flame,
It's burning love, jibun de kirisaita mune no kizuato sae birei ni naru made.

Cause you are beautiful,
Your scars are beautiful, like the jade,
You'll still shine, when you sink into the sea,
When the bleeding scarlet jealously carves (cause?) the way you believe,
Ah, Now and forever, you'll be loved,
Let your destiny lead your heart
My Jade


Stop my tears. Stop my loving. Kill my memories.

No, it's Sugizo. In the lives at least. I think they just used another track of Toshi on the recording (Sugizo wasn't in the band yet when they recorded it).
