Fever X Japan

Sander · **on:** July 06, 2010, 10:57:31 PM

Sankyo, the largest panchiko machine manufacturer, has just created a website - Fever X-Japan. At the moment, the only thing it says is 'Fever X Japan Coming Soon', a Sankyo company logo and '©2010 Sankyo Corporation + ©JMA All rights reserved.'

As you might have heard, an X Japan panchiko machine was announced at the July 1st L.A. Yoshiki Foundation party, you can find a short video clip of it here -

.

Oh and this - http://www.sankyo-fever.co.jp/xjn_page.html - the X Japan page 'news announcement' on the Sankyo page, something to do with 'live' and 'rusty nail'.

I don't think it will be released anywhere outside of Japan...but then, why show it in LA?

I posted this picture in another thread, reposting since it fits better here and more people will see it. It looks crazy awesome.

Never has there been a more rockin' way to throw away your money

I assume the answer is no, but are these going to be available to buy for regular people or is it only for arcades and shit?

Matthias · **Reply #6 on:** July 14, 2010, 02:48:47 PM

I'd guess it's only for arcades and stuff like that.

I pass pachinko parlours everyday. If I see one I'll take a photo and post it.

^ Thanks Ann, that looks so awesome! I assume they will use the violin intro for the album too? If soooo.....great! Ha, after seeing the screenshots, I thought that it looked rather.....well lets just say bad...but it looks really cool!

EDIT: Hmmmm, I am confused...the YouTube description says this has something to do with th pachinko game...but what has this to do with it? I think this is the Kurenai PV?

IronMaitallica · **Reply #12 on:** July 16, 2010, 07:11:36 AM

What's with that chick that transforms into Yoshiki? Or maybe that was a guy? What the hell is a pachinko anyway? And what is the point of that video? Is it supposed to be the beginning of the new Kerenai PV or something?

AsukaMiyu · **Reply #13 on:** July 16, 2010, 07:30:26 AM

The chick that transforms into yoshiki IS yoshiki! xD
I don't really get the video yet, thoguh o_O; Especially the end is... weird... (why are they hugging in slow motion when the song just really started?)

And what's it with all the western chicks in messily worn kimono? >_<

Don't get me wrong, it looks beautiful, I just don't know what to think about it yet haha (Full version, plz!)

Ashemanu · **Reply #14 on:** July 16, 2010, 07:40:58 AM

I like it

Ha, my thoughts exactly...WHY WHITE PEOPLE, WHY!!!!

roseofpain84 · **Reply #16 on:** July 16, 2010, 10:16:02 AM

So many japanese bands have westerners in their PVs that this doesn't even surprise me at all...
Also, I like Yoshiki in that video and I like the concept as well...^^
I'm hoping the final version will be even better...~

Ashemanu · **Reply #17 on:** July 16, 2010, 10:20:07 AM

Maybe because he wants to catch the US audience with it? (if it´s not only for this game). Beside of that, he has a knack for having western women appearing in his PVs ...

Full Jade Video?

mC · **Reply #21 on:** July 16, 2010, 11:40:50 AM

I don't think that is the finished Jade PV, just clips from the site joined together...but it's got clean audio..i.is anyone else thinking that a guitar part is missing?

Beauty/Broken · **Reply #22 on:** July 16, 2010, 12:02:39 PM

The videos look very expensive... Too bad the audio sounds cheap and roughly produced. I can only pray to whatever God exists that Jade isn't going to be released in such a shoddy state.

OMG! OMG! OMG! THANKS FOR ALL THE VIDS AND LINKS!!!!!

WE ARE X!!!!

shane140 · **Reply #24 on:** July 16, 2010, 01:45:37 PM

ThanX for all the links, the PV's look good.

Ulquiorra · **Reply #25 on:** July 16, 2010, 02:33:43 PM

Hope we hear the full version soon, but so far Jade sounds better, its got the power of the tokyo dome live versions with the vocal harmonies.

Big important question about the beginning of that Kurenai pv though, it seems to have a new violin/piano opening to the song, but where's Toshi's opening verse, "I couldn't look back, you've gone away from me" ect. and does this mean the guitar intro's been replaced as well? Its worrying because its not like the previous version with the orchestrated opening, where afterwards it then goes to the guitar section with the "I couldn't look back" opening line. It seems in this version it completely skips it and goes straight to the main powerful section of the song.

They can't completely replace the original intro, its one of the best openings to a song ever, I worry about what's going to happen to the rest of the old songs now.

Feudal · **Reply #26 on:** July 16, 2010, 03:15:48 PM

I agree with you Beauty/Broken. I stumbled across that video on YouTube last night and was really excited because it looks to be a full MV but I was disappointed how bad it sounds. This might just be me but I don't think Jade will go down as well as I.V (has so far) and Born to Be Free. I honestly cannot make out half the things Toshi is singing about; his English pronunciation is quite good but on Jade it's just baaad, I'm sorry =/ don't know what they did wrong. I mean shit, I've been listening to X/X Japan for like 5-6 years now and could even make out his "Engrish" during the X days! Art of Life was another great example and that was like 17 years ago. In terms of their latest songs I'd definitely say in terms of quality and pronunciation: I.V. , BTBF , Jade. (I think BTBF will be the best of the three once a full studio version is released, I LOVE that song right now, it's great)

*Also! after just watching it again, WTF were they thinking during some of these shots? The highest most epic part of the song @ 2:52-2:56 where Toshi sings "where I still believe" in his beautiful pitch, his body emotion for that scene NOT how one would be when belting out something like that. He's barely pretending to speak into the mic during that part. Ugh, that's just baaad. Also, I'm pretty sure Yoshiki's still got those dreadful Midi's playing. It's funny because they said they plan on releasing Jade as the first single in the U.S or whatever, that is a disgrace, like how can you steep from HIGH production values in the past to something that sounds like Garageband. I'll always love X Japan but Jade has just rubbed me the wrong way.

Erm, I want to remain in Japan so no "stealing". Sorry.

LebendenToten · **Reply #28 on:** July 16, 2010, 07:36:23 PM

I don't think we have anything to worry about with the new PVs, I think that these are just leaked samples that were intended for the use of the panchinko site. They probably just gave them some unfinished bits and pieces of the videos for advertisement purposes. Just my thoughts.

I thought a pachinko machine is somewhat like a slot machine (used for gambling) - so where does the music and video part fit in ? Or is it completely different than what I think ?
