Yes! I hope we get some more behind the scenes stuff or a music video.

Definitely. Yoshiki is saying that X Day will be on March 4th of next year, so the release of this a week or so before the show is good to me.

Hi there, I may be wrong, but in case a features won a prize for best editing, you cannot change the cut for the first release, and even if you do change, you will lost your award.

So the BR released should be the same as the internet leak, plus I hope some cool bonus.

Did you have infos that the cut on the BR release will be different ?

As mention by a member in another X fan forum. Something strange, nothing about a japanese release. Due to their popularity in their homeland, I believe that japanese edition may come with a box set or limited edition. I think, I ll wait for this one.

Kijak has replied to someone on twitter asking about a Japanese release with: "soon!!!".

Hi
I have no info about different cuts, but I saw the internet leak and the cut at the Braunschweiger Filmfestival. And they where different. Not only the ending but the whole story was in a different order.

So far, I've only seen the internet leak. When the film comes out on DVD, I'll be sure to get it to see the differences.

Boooooo. Booooo, I say! No, but seriously, I hope the delay is because they're adding something more to the DVD (come onnnnnn deleted scenes in the bonus section).

Also, I'm gonna go out on a limb here & be the minority in saying that I didn't mind that it was mostly Yoshiki in the end who was doing the talking. Yeah, I was thoroughly annoyed the first time around, but it's okay to me now (can't explain why though. Change of heart maybe).

I just found that out on Twitter last night, but wasn't sure if it was real or not since, ya know, Twitter is unreliable as a proper news source. Looking back on it now, a March release date did seem too good to be true (at least to me because the news came off of the heels of the L.A. premiere).

EDIT: Oh man, I bet the European fans are pissed. You guys seem to always get the short end of the stick when it comes to this stuff.

So, I got an email yesterday saying my Amazon order for We are X on blu-ray has been changed from April 25th delivery...to March 3rd!? Double checked Amazon, and sure enough. It's been changed on the listing. So...March 3rd, then!

Look alive people! It seems like it's be released for real-reals this time guys.

Quote
WE ARE X, the award-winning rock-n-roll documentary about one of the most successful bands in history, arrives on Blu-Ray™, DVD and Digital HD on April 25 from Magnolia Home Entertainment under The Magnet Label. From director and acclaimed documentarian Stephen Kijak (Stones in Exile), WE ARE X profiles the blockbuster Japanese rock band X Japan and its enigmatic frontman Yoshiki – composer, classically trained pianist, drummer and the creative force behind the band’s wild success.

Featuring interviews with Gene Simmons, Marilyn Manson, Stan Lee and more, WE ARE X dives into Yoshiki’s life and X Japan’s attempt to break into the American music industry. Supported by concert footage, band interviews and fan photos, the compelling film takes a look at X Japan’s hardships and conflicts including suicide and cultism. Also spotlighting the band’s triumphs, WE ARE X explores the group’s phenomenal success, boasting more than 30 million albums and singles sold, countless sold-out concerts around the world, and fans in North America, Europe, Latin America and South East Asia.
Special features for WE ARE X include deleted scenes featuring Hello Kitty designer Yuko Yamaguchi and clips from Kitty Con, the New Economy Summit, Tateyama and the X Museum, as well as deleted interviews with members of X Japan. Extras also include seven interview vignettes with Yoshiki about WE ARE X, and two live performances, “Forever Love” and “Kurenai,” from X Japan’s 1997 “The Last Live” concert at the Tokyo Dome. A tribute to the band with the “Born to be Free” Fan Video featuring concert footage and global fan interviews is also included. The documentary will be available on Blu-ray and DVD for the suggested retail price of $29.98 and $26.98, and on Digital HD via iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Video and additional digital retailers on April 25.
