It has been announced through Twitter that the press conference that was meant to be held last month is being rescheduled for the 20th of May. Hopefully there will be news as to what X Japan's future plans are.

I thought I would start a new topic for this conference as I am really, really, really hoping that we will all hear what we have been waiting to hear since 2008. When will X Japan release their worldwide debut album?

As a side note, not long after announcing the new date for the press conference, Yoshiki posted this message: "いいニュースだとは言ってない". As I don't speak Japanese and can only go on what Google translate has given, could someone please translate this into English? The Google translate gives...a rather negative message.

It seems that that message could be translated by

"I didn't say it will be good news"

So seems that some bad news will be announced on the 20th; maybe a new disband...

Thanks for that Hyunkel! Yea I assumed that was what it meant...and my first thought was that it might be disbandment...BUT! Let's hope that this is not the case! :)

Sure, let's hope for something not that bad;  but the band's activity has been close to nothing for months and more, no information given to us (except for Yoshiki's things on twitter, no relevant to X JAPAN in any way).

So a new break seems possible.
Or it could just be another "the album will be out soon, hope you guys will like it but I still have to work on it, so please be patient".

We'll be fixed in two weeks anyway.

New tweet from Yoshiki:

悪いニュースだとも言ってない(笑

Translated using google says:

"It did not say even a bad news" (laughs)

So, i'm hoping whatever the press conference is about, won't be too bad..or might possibly be good news. ^_^

Ok, so it's not a good news nor à bad one x)

Another kind of useless news maybe...

Finally..... we are going to have some news no matter it's good or not. I don't even have any hope about a new album this year. Let's see and keep our fingers crossed.

Hi Everyone!

X Japan members will get together at this press conference for the first time in over a year.
We’ll also take questions from you.
Hopefully we'll be able to answer some of them out there!
#WeAreX !!

Love,

YOSHIKI

Am I the only one hoping that somebody calls Yoshiki out on the "95% done since 2010" B.S.? Or any other broken promises from along the way? I'm sure it won't happen, though. Probably screened questions.

Just release the album already.

"X Japan members will get together at this press conference for the first time in over a year"

Is he saying that it's the first time in over a year that there is a press conference with all members OR that it's the first time in over a year that the members hasn't seen each other?
In the second case, I wouldn't say I'm surprised but I'd find that kind of sad.
How can you expect something new/good from a band whose members don't work together?

Still kind of excited by the press conference though.

Doesn't seem like a new breakup or anything too bad so I stay positive.

Yeah, that's the question, and *afaik* grammar rules are helpless here. Maybe a comma could clarify this :-\

Anyway, it'd be nice to hear something from the band.. except '95%.....'  ;D
Thanx for the news.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. (c)

"YOSHIKI and I finished the meeting now.

For those interested, here is a person on twitter, posting translations of someone else who is tweeting from outside the conference. It's being held at Madame Tussards in Tokyo?

No news yet, it seems noone inside is tweeting. XD Apparently, according to japanese fans, the venue is only reserved till 3pm, so they can't take forever... >_>

I'll be in the next chapter...

Hmmm nothing so far. By the sounds of it, all the members are there and the conference is in full swing now. Yoshiki was late...of course XD And it has been said that Madam Tussards is booked until 3pm, so we can assume the conference will be finishing in around 40 mins? Apparently there was a competition on Yoshiki Mobile to win tickets to see the conference, so there are fans there. Hopefully that will speed up leaks of information after the conference is over!

soo... from what I understood of the japanese fans tweeting, it's only about More wax models at Madame Tussauds....and Toshi's is next...

-_____________________-

Okay, that's the crappiest reason ever to make a press conference and show up together after a year.

What the....

Edit: okay and world tour "next year" maybe. *headdesk*

Yea this is just really disappointing, especially since we have had nothing from them for so long...there is mention that they said something about CONSIDERING a world tour being held next year...not even anything about a new single or album release date.

Yoshiki can suck a fat dick. Ban me if you want for saying that, I don't care anymore. I'm about 99% done with this band (specifically Yoshiki). HE IS RUINING HIS OWN BAND AND HE CAN'T EVEN SEE IT. The reunion should never have happened. hide would be ashamed.
