And if you think a little... I.V. and Jade are songs in english. He is making songs only in english, to the US market, and fuck the old japaneses that supported them for 20 years.

Without You? :P

He wrote Without You in 1998. After the reunion, we have only Jade and IV.

And what, 8 performances in Tokyo (three times when they reunited, two last may, hide mem. summit, countdown gig, I.V. PV shooting)? Plus two in Hong Kong and one in Taiwan, if I'm not mistaken. And the US & Europe has like half a dozen postponed concerts (people did pay for plane tickets and accommodation and lost their money). I'm not complaining, but if someone would be, it shouldn't be the Japanese fans.

Plus, X has lots of songs in English anyway, it hasn't bothered the Japanese before (at least not on a wide scale, as far as I know).

This is my administrator color.

X had songs entirely in english even in their indies years when more than likely only the Japanese knew them...
Besides, many many Japanese bands have english lyrics in t heir songs or songs written entirely english....I don't think the Japanese fans are that bothered by it anyway...right?



Yeah, I'm a Yoshiki fangirl. SUE ME.

I understand where some people are coming from in this thread before, thanks for sharing your thoughts

Anyway, lets wait for whatever's going to happen in Hollywood, and hopefully something new we can enjoy and talk about

Apparently, if you have Yoshiki mobile then you have a chance of meeting the X after filming, only 2 people can meet them though. Lucky people.

Edit:

 Thank you for joining us in the filming of four major X JAPAN music videos this coming January 9, 2010!

The event will be held at Hollywood & Highland (Hollywood, CA). A spectacular set filled with lasers and pyro-technics is being built and will blow your mind away.

Remember to dress to impress in your best "X-JAPAN styles" and we will see you on January 9, 2010!



I wish I could go, I want my mind to be blown away XD   
"X-Japan styles" lol ok. I wonder what that they will look like.

I do wonder if they thought the whole crowd thing through properly, they might have been better to issue actual tickets etc rather than just tell all their fans to join them and sign up to email for details!

They might be expecting thousands of people to turn up but many people signed up to the website for extra information and are not actually attending the event. Hopefully this will have been taken into consideration! It would be a bit embarrassing for them if only a few people actually went!

I'm pretty sure they are taking that into account. How well they do it is another question.

How can Yoshiki not like metal? He's been playing it for years...He wrote pretty much every song, if he didn't like metal he could of 'un-metalized' them.

Anyway I'm going.

Although, 4 PVs in the same setting? Boring X_x
I'd love to see something á la Celebration/Week End/Xclamation again XD Music videos with a little more substance to them than just the band members headbanging on a rooftop with flashing lights all over.

I don't mind not going myself, but I do want to hear how it went.
So I hope you've joined this forum to stay (welcome btw) and are willing to tell what happened... :)
Are you taking photo's?

Thanks, I think I'll stay awhile...

I don't know if photography will be allowed, but I'm bringing my camera and if I can get pics I'll be sure to share them

JRockRevolution posted some pictures of the set today!



PS: I split off the rant about X Japan's new direction in style & music, so people can either ignore it (don't read the other topic) or talk about it there (so this one wouldn't go so off topic). All posts here, that are off topic will be deleted!

especially heath looks very versaille-ish....
THe location looks like the one of Yoshiki's photo shoot with h.naoto... As far as I know at least yoshiki's outfit for those PVs are made by h.naoto aswell. hm.

and I just found another backstage pic of the other people appearing in the PV.
