Taiji & Yoshiki's relationship

Heard Taiji & Yoshiki reconciled, did anyone hear anything about it?

I haven't really read any jap related stuff for a long while now, so I don't know if this is a rumour or a fact.

*coughes* Expert!? LOL Anyways thanX for the honour. xP

Hmmm...
What I know about this was, that Taiji and Yoshiki didn't have any contact to each other since Taiji left the band. So they first met again before hides funeral. As I know Taiji was in a really bad situation due this time, had not much money, so that he was asking Yoshiki even for a smoking to visit the funeral, besides I heared that his jaw was broken and that didn't heal the right way since he had no money for a medical treatment.
Finally Yoshiki helped him with the smoking as well as with some money for the medical treatment.

Hm... how far that story is really true, I even by myself can't guarantee, but that's what I heared about this.

Besides there are many people who think Yoshiki and Taiji were really pissed at each other so that Yoshiki kicked him out of the band... Finally I don't think so.
Taiji said in his book "X no Sei to Shi" that there were even problems with the staff who can't stand him... how far that is true, I don't know, but in my eyes there must have been something totally different as well between Yoshiki and Taiji, which both keep better in privacy.
But that the have hated each other... no... I really can't imagine....

It's one of those things, once you're older, it's even harder to makeup between friends. Everyone has their prides, and I guess especially musicians or public figures like them. I mean sure, they can act like they're all cool and all, but that's just presentation.

Thanks for the clear up tho.

Cuz my friend and I were discussing about Yoshiki/Sugizo/Gackt's new band. I was wondering who the bassist and the rhythm guitarist would be. It would be very cool if Taiji would be part of it. His bass playing really kicked ass. And not to mention his guitar skills as shown in Voiceless Screaming.

Creative artists - I totally agree. My business partners and I argue big time over things. I'm sure people of their egos will collide big time. Of course, things like that just builds up overtime.

What is it that Yoshiki has to do? Kinda lost on this one.

Ya I see what you mean.

I don't know if Toshi will ever get his brain out of the cult. I sure hope so.
Heard a rumour long ago t hat he turned his back on Masaya? But i don't know how accurate this rumour is.

It will probably take a very very long time before any resolution could be made considering Toshi and Yoshiki have their own prides and their relationship starts when they were kids (makes it tougher imo). Sure hope they'll reconcile one day.

Ah yes formal suit... x___x that's confusing...

however, I was thinking about Taiji joining Yoshikis band as well, but somehow I think that wouldn't happen. For sure not.... I also hope like Panthere said, that it would be good for Yoshiki to get in contact with him when he hadn't already (but may be he anyways met him again) :roll:

ya that would be just purely awesome.

we'll see how things go with his new band.

Thanks for the link, just finished reading your review of what happened during your encounter with him.

Honestly, the cult thing, it's really up to him to get himself together and free himself. No one can help him but himself. Let's just hope this day will happen sooner than later.

One thing I observed from your blog. Sounds like Toshi is 24/7 under surveillance. Sounds like he was abducted into an alien ship or something.

I'm sure things will eventually be better when/if he leaves Masaya.

haha, thinking of Yoshiki?

your points nodded. Sounds like he needs one of those drug/alchy rehab center kinda thing but for cult.

I hope this isn't just an issue...

Ya I see where you're coming from. We'll see how their future works out.

"get your ass out of LA and SAVE Toshi"

i hope he reads it

diesel88 · **Reply #12 on:** March 01, 2007, 08:04:05 PM

I wonder if he actually reads msgs on my space, period.

But anyway. Things are looking upwards if reunion is happening.

diesel88 · **Reply #13 on:** March 02, 2007, 02:49:40 AM

ya i guess for me, it'smore in between if he reads them all or just reads random ones or..

Well I hope he does read them all, there has to be many encouraging words in the messages fans send him everyday

Sander · **Reply #14 on:** March 02, 2007, 05:45:04 AM

Well he has to accept every comment that is posted, no? And (not sure about it but...) one by one... So he sees the comment, throws his eyes over it and if he sees something that might be important he reads it... Just a theory tho

I thought that some of the comments posted in the past where quite scaery to be honest.I really cannot stand fangirls at all. But some where very nice and not freaky. There where alot of head to desk moments though. Don't even get me started on those blog coments all I will say that is they are not helping any and they annoy me to no end.
