I checked my email this morning, and got a message from CDJapan saying my favorite artist has a new product...it looks interesting, can anyone elaborate?

and according to a google translation of CDJapan's sister site (neowing.jp), it says " History and music track information, such as introducing the band!"

I am wondering if it's just a fancy book with their discography and a short history?

It seems to be out:



Only 10 books left on cdjapan (well 9 in a minute, since I'm about to order one :P)

According to X Japan - Experience blog it has many color photos and old interviews. Though all is in Japanese.

I find it very suspicious, even a little scary, it's that cheap....X Japan merchandise is not very cheap (almost sold a kidney to buy On the Verge of Destruction and I still wonder why the **** was that expensive...)

aaaaah I don't know wheter to buy it or not :| hope it's not limited press or I'll regret it forever....

I think it's limited because it isn't official X Japan merchandise??? At least, I am pretty sure it's not...

Hey, 1985 tracks... "A Night". So, this is the real name of the song.
We just need to find any other info about this mysterious song. There is any live info about 1982~1984 concerts?

I'm not sure how official that whole book is, so I would take every information with a grain fo salt.

Sounds interesting! :)
For the people wondering if this is official merchandising, I think it could be one of those books written by a reporter / group of reporters... in this case, as long as the publisher pays the right to reproduce images, they can write anything they want!
Maybe the people who purchased the book could check if any writer is credited?

I'm at my wits' end.

Utterly useless book for the 1982-1986 info. You're better off getting the Yoshiki biography. They're missing at least 60% of what they could have written for 1985 alone. I can't say for anything past 1986, because I don't care, but for the indies days this is very poorly researched!

In fact, I wrote a small article about it:
