Thanks for the links
I loved the performance. Yoshiki, ToshI and Sugizo stood out as having lots of energy... Loved the Santa outfits, haha. Yoshiki's quick maneuvering between the drums and piano multiple times during BTBF was commendable and awe-inspiring. You could see how hard it is to slow down after drumming during that 2nd piano part. Then ToshI drumming while Yoshiki shouted, that was a lot of fun. And of course ToshI giving vocals to Yoshiki during X.... Yeah, just a lot of fun this time. Really enjoyed it.
We are not trying to keep the legacy—we are trying to move forward, so our sound is going to change. I’m ready to be criticized, for example by fans saying "you should rather be this style." I’m ready for it, I’m okay with any concept of criticism-Yoshiki
