While any news regarding X Japan is exciting, this is kind of a let down. First of all, Jade was SUPPOSED to be released as a single months ago. I.V. is already a single so I don't know WHY that is mentioned. Born to be free we all assumed would follow suit. Next, the contract with EMI is nice, that's a good thing for sure. The album in the summer is not because this is, again, a delay when spring has been thrown around for a while now. The Yoshiki radio is a good thing for sure! Next, saying South America and Europe dates are under discussion is rather ridiculous...haven't they supposed to have been in discussion for months now too? Finally, the intention to participate in festivals is alright I guess. OVERALL, I'm let down...just a bunch of stuff we probably could have guessed, right?
It's really disappointing when 4 months after their first North American tour they go nearly M.I.A besides the dinner show a few nights ago. Their new website has had NOTHING updated for months...where is even a minute of footage from the tour? It's really sad to see many bands more and even less popular than X Japan successfully please their fans in terms of communication, shows, releases, etc.
