^Yup, in the studio version, Toshi is just harmonizing with himself. I really like this style actually.

Me too, haha! Also Jade has seriously grown on me since it's release. I didn't like it at all really until they changed it up a bit and added the real drums. It's my fav. song at the moment.

lol..this is X JAPAN. Waiting is part of the deal. If they released anything, we'd be so shocked so that we couldn't buy it on release day, because of it actually being released.

Speak for yourself, I'd be there release day! ;)

Yeah, I'm very familiar with their "make everyone wait for everything" trend. But still, that doesn't mean it's any easier to remain patient about it! haha

Being an X Japan in the post-reunion era means being a very patient person. It takes a very long time, but stuff does happen...eventually...we waited...and waited...and waited, and then BAM! North American Tour!!...now for the long wait for that album..

I think I (or rather, people at another X forum) have found the official lyrics, someone recorded the video on a pachinko machine which had the lyrics on them, so I'm assuming these are the official lyrics. Thank God we finally know what Toshi's saying just before the second chorus.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP6gsjcU-ho[/youtube]


Walked through the light to find your shadow
Til your God stole you from the edge
Sunk in the thought 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 ‘til you feel alive
‘Cause you are beautiful
Your scars are beautiful
Like the Jade
You’ll still shine
When you sink into the sea
Where the bleeding scarlet jealousy
Carves away your belief
Made of the lime, 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 … of your eyes. It’s flawless.
‘Cause you were beautiful
Your blood was beautiful
Yesterday
I’d still hide
At the seam of memories
Oh, I still hold my rosary
Beneath the veil of life
Will the tears wipe the bloody face of love
Will they take away the stain
Glow like stars of the sky
Float in the ocean
The art of light
Makes me wanna dive
In the colour of heaven
Ah, another day has gone
Another friend has gone
Into the flame
It’s burning love
Jibun de Kirisaita (I tear into pieces)
Mune no kizuato sae (Even the scars on my chest)
Birei ni naru made…… (Til it becomes beautiful)
‘Cause you are beautiful
Your scars are beautiful
Like the Jade
You’ll still shine
When you sink into the sea
Where the bleeding scarlet jealousy
Carves away your belief
Ah, now and forever
You’ll be loved
Let your destiny lead your heart… my Jade

It is, actually. Yoshiki's English lyrics since the mid nineties tended to make a lot of sense. You'd need to go back to something like Standing Sex to find his last lot of nonsensical lyrics.

I mean "Made of the lime, the wings of the night", wtf is that?

Yea, that "Made of the lime, the wings of the night" seriously can't be correct. It's either a big /facepalm on Yoshiki's part or whoever did the Pachinko machines fucked it up.

Hugest facepalm ever on the "made of the lime". Maybe they are only wrong on Pachinko, like on Rock Band, that I.V. appears with some different verses from the screens of Tokyo Dome 2008.

I really wouldn't trust anything in relation to lyrics that's not actually in the CD booklet, as far as Japan goes. Last time I went in a Tower Records in Tokyo to buy the new Offspring album 'Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace', there was a huge poster advertising the CD that said 'Rise and Fall, Tage and Grace'.

Let's just wait on the CD.

IMO,  i  don't like the song JADE,  except the chorus because it sounds more X-ish  than the prechorus...

it sounds like idk...bleh XD   but the chorus rocks!

I.V.  is pretty good!

LOL  in other words......the wings of the night = made of lime
XD HAHA

if you look at their lyrics kinda goes like this (WEEKEND):

in english:
"Hateful black heart in full bloom"

and then japanese;
"sakimidareta HATEFUL BLACK HEART"



and OMG I WISH THEY PLAYED WEEKEND and SADISTIC DESIRE at their North American concerts XD  IT ROCKKKSSSS!!! WOOHOOO!!

well in my personal opinion i think jade is an absolutely fantastic song, but then there are some fans who are like "it doesn't sound like X Japan" or something related to that quotation and i've always just thought well do you really think they're going to sound the same even after hide passed on may he rest in peace. Sugizo is an incredible guitar player and they still sound fantastic and Jade is an incredible song!

Great news finally! Plus I'm glad they've got a contract with EMI, hopefully that means less delays.

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.

seconded :) Jade is amazing. AND it would be kinda boring if XJapan sounds the same all the time, without any changes, right? However, when listening to Jade, you can still notice that this is X Japan and no other artist. *well, it's just my opinion, 'cause I cannot imagine any other band write such a song*

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. (c)

Although I'm usually not a fan of the larger record companies, I think X signing to EMI is a good thing. Firstly, like Shane said, they won't tolerate constant delays. Yoshiki will pretty much have to work with a time line. It'll also free up Y to concentrate on other sides of the business ie touring etc.

I liked the part where he talks about the X at EMI I think now the cd comes out.
And I still have much hope of seeing a tour of X in south america (Brazil) and in Europe where they have many friends Fan X

Can't say I'm surprised or happy about the album being pushed back yet again, but it makes sense since Scarlet is going to be featured in Buddha.

I have a feeling that EMI is going to put some consistency in X's schedule, but they might end up sounding a bit americanized which story tells us that is not a good thing, well, at least they are alive.

The fact that I am a Copy of so many that I admire, makes me feel unique.

This is great news! A little disappointed the album is pushed back a little again, but the fact they got a record deal is awesome news! I also hope the Jade single will be a physical release, and considering they mentioned I.V. being released as a single in the future, that pretty much means a physical release, since its already on iTunes.

The radio show will be worth a listen for sure! The book I am SUPER excited for! I'd love to read about Yoshiki!

Overall, I am happy with these announcements. 2011 will be a very exciting year for X Japan!

Let's hope that since they have signed with EMI now they'll have someone pushing for the release, instead of delaying it more.
