it's only a few weeks until the release, isn't it? ...

I would take a 99% done album... the question isn't "Is it done?" It's more "Is it reaaaaally going to be released one beautiful day?"

The first clip on this page has what sounds like some studio snips of Kiss The Sky?

According to Yoshiki at the Metal Hammer Facebook Live Q&A, it's not done yet.

"...next few ... or severel month. I promise!"

Yea, I guess we just take what we can get! Looking forward for my CD to arrive next week where I can listen to La Venus and Without You on a decent stereo.

And I hope everyone who sees them on Saturday has an awesome time! I am excited about what the setlist will end up being like!

When he posted these pictures I realized that he has weird ears. Never saw that before.

Back to topic... well album release this summer? And tour? Sounds like a plan... if it's really about to happen this time. Nobody knows...

Summer? Ehh? That's cool (if Yoshiki's telling the damn TRUTH this time). I'll definitely be going to a show, come Hell or high water

All I can say is that it would have been amazing to have it out either years ago or if this late in the game, be all new.

I can't help but feel double wronged by the fact that X did not become a new band and are releasing the album this late. They didn't begin again. They're just another vintage act playing shows occasionally to milk their fanbase or feel like they used to or SOMETHING.

Yoshiki spent way too much time on stuff that didn't matter. I hope the curry and the keychains and the face masks were worth more than the music, because that's what he's been telling us.

Rant but ToshI to me has been the only one to seem truly invested and has come off the most genuine and the most awe-inspiring to watch with the comeback. He has given his all to increasing his vocal performance and everyone has noticed. He has been a true musician! It has been a joy to hear him sing X songs again. I will say that I am looking forward to hearing his beautiful voice on the new songs.

THANK YOU for pointing that out!! I feel like Toshi isn't even getting half of the appreciation he deserves!

As usual, take anything Yoshiki said about the new album with a grain of salt

Still waiting for someone to share the recording of the interview.
Fanacc on Twitter also said that The Last Song and Art of Life will be included... What?!

Hmmm, I could kind of believe The Last Song actually...remember the photo Yoshiki posted of the Master Album Sequences in 2015? Tracklisting that could be seen had 1. The Las....

I just wonder if this will be the case, will it be a re-recording or the original track from the end of the 90s? I would think if it was included and would be the opening, it would need to definitely be at the least arranged into a shorter version.

Well about the Last Song and Art of Life... So much about 100% new songs...? -_-
But Yoshiki keeps forgetting his own plans all the time anyway, so yeah, whatever. We'll find out whenever the album actually gets released....

Was Yoshiki just joking after all? I swear, if this was an April Fool's joke, it proves he really does not understand the frustration he's caused his fans...Yes, it's April Fool's Day, yes people like jokes and everyone is doing them, but out of ALL the things you could joke about, you pick the release date, which is a slap in the face to all of us. He could have done the interview and been like, "Yeah, the new album we're experimenting and Tosh1 is rapping on a few of the songs" ...anything. What a fucking joke.

If you see the comments, there are a lot of fantards thinking that is funny and cute, as usual.

CreepyKlutz · **Reply #145 on:** April 02, 2017, 11:00:54 PM

Judging it based on the previous master disc image and current "information"...

1. The Last Song
2. Jade
3. Beneath The Skin
4. Hero
5. Born To Be Free
6. Angel
7. IV
8. Kiss The Sky
9. Without You (?)
10. Art of Life (

)
11. La Venus (Full Band Version)
12.

?
13.

?

..weren't there supposed to be four instrumentals too or is my memory hazy?

Hyunkel · **Reply #146 on:** April 03, 2017, 06:00:41 PM

Scarlet Love Song? Rusty Nail & Tears (English version)?

Scarlet Love Song would be interesting. It seems so rejected by Yoshiki, which never played it and don't even talk about it since it was released.

mC · **Reply #148 on:** April 03, 2017, 08:32:54 PM

I would be very surprised if Scarlet Love Song was featured.

Yea, it has sort of been rejected since it's release...correct me if I am wrong, but the only time it was performed live was at the Toshl feat. Yoshiki shows?

I think it ended up being a song purely done for a soundtrack, though with the released title being "Scarlet Love Song -BUDDHA MIX-", perhaps it will see the light of day again in another form?

Hyunkel · **Reply #149 on:** April 03, 2017, 09:40:51 PM

Yeah it's like this song never happened... But it's a nice one imo, another soft song sure but nice nevertheless.

I don't think it'll be on the album but it'd be a more "new" song than most of them haha

Hero and I.V. were on soundtracks too (but, yeah, maybe SLS was purely done for this movie and that's all, which would be sad).
I'd rather have them rehabilitate SLS and ditch Hero which I think suits more VUK than X Japan.
