Wait, wait...how did the decision that those 're-recordings' came up?
Was it stated officially somewhere?
Or are we just assuming/hoping?
Cause frankly, I really think it's gonna be simply 'another best of album'.
Just, in my case....I don't have a problem with it.



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

People are assuming. And so am I (hoping to get some Sugizo-input to those songs).

No one knows but the people who were there. The guy who posted that pic didn't include any other information.

Oh wow! AMAZING!! so I guess that one short clip circling youtube of the studio-demo of Jade is what they're using officially.

Apparently, according to a tweet by Max_zumwalt, X Japan just covered Loudness. This has not yet been confirmed though.

I really wish that I could have been there, I hope somebody got some footage of the loudness cover (if they did indeed do one that is)

I just got home. I got there around 4:44, saw some Yoshki and Heath cosplayers. I'd say about 600 people maybe more. Toshi was first to show up and wave to the crowd. First song was a live (prerecorded) version of Endless Rain (with all the japanese people singing the chours) then I.V. live with piano intro. Then the studio Rusty Nail and what sounded like a studio version of Jade.

After that the band left the stage for a while (I think they were waiting for the sun to go down) Then the played the 4 songs again while some staff members were passing out the X-Japan glowsticks. Then the band left for a long time, and on the big screen they were showing clips from the last live, then later Yoshiki and Suigizo's piano and violn solo Tears, Weekend, Kurenai, Without You from I think the 2009 shows.

There was a japanese girl cosplayed as Yoshiki with the blue dress, she didn't really speak much english but she was cool. A staff member with a big camera came to me and asked me "What does X-Japan mean to you?" and me of course being the overexcited guy I am I yelled at the top of my lungs "X-Japan is a freakin' awesome japanese metal band with beautiful piano and such!!!" lol embrassing.  Anyway when the band returnted to the stage they played the same 4 songs, only this time with more lasers and pyro.

Theres a few details I'm missing sorry if my grammar messy I'm freakin' tired and excited lol

I consider the passed times of the band and hide stuff we can see on the screens when Toshi sings Without you as the PV for Without you.

seconded ;D


and, Oh yeah... @ArtSeeker
I'm with you my friend ;)

none of your business ...

It doesn't really suprise me, in Luna Sea Sugizo really shined with solos that expanded far beyond the studio recordings. I would probably say 90% of the Luna Sea song sound way better live than the studio albums (which is a shame because its hard to find their older live shows). I think leaving the guitar solo out gives Sugizo more room to shine in the live shows rather than sticking strictly to what's in the recording. If you take into account Sugizo's muted guitar solo, I would say live Jade will most definitely be better than Studio Jade.

Yea, there was never any official announcement that said there would be. I was actually kind of hoping to hear what Endless Rain would sound like in English.

And thanks to everyone who posted pictures and videos. :D

Apparently not, we were just assuming they would be.
