in the first place (last year) it was announced that they will show the full movie, for sure.

What's up party people, it seems like I'm going!
Just convinced my bf to join so we just booked the flight and hotel. If they cancel we can at least have a nice day in London :'D

When I first started listening to X Japan as a teenager I would legit just break down and cry randomly because I knew that I had missed my chance to ever see them. I can't believe it might actually be happening now!

AsukaMiyu · **Reply #122 on:** February 28, 2017, 09:20:34 PM

YESSS! One more (longterm!) X-Freak!!

Now that I'm already off work for the London trip, I can finally enjoy looking forward to the event! ^__^

magucathy · **Reply #125 on:** March 02, 2017, 09:30:05 PM

What I think they will play and what I want them to play is not the same.

So I will start with what I think they will play:

Rusty Nail
Born to be Free
Without You
Jade
Forever Love
La Venus
Art of Life
Kunerai
I.V.
Endless Rain
X
Say Anything

With Yoshiki's drum/paino solo, Pata/ Sugizo/Heath Solo inbetween.

I wish they will play Rose of Pain, Voiceless screaming, I will kill you, Unfinished

mC · **Reply #126 on:** March 03, 2017, 07:22:35 AM

Hmmmm, I am not too sure what they will play.

Not including La Venus, it would be nice to hear at least two new songs we have heard before.

I think they will play Hero and Beneath the Skin tomorrow...I wonder if we will be hearing some form of Angel again?

Kasumi · **Reply #127 on:** March 03, 2017, 03:51:39 PM

They will definitely play "La Venus" and some classics like "X", "Endless Rain", "Kurenai". You know them.

As for the rest... maybe "Born to be free", "Jade", "Kiss the Sky", "I.V.", "Without you", "Forever Love" aaaand I don't know...

Guruxo · **Reply #128 on:** March 03, 2017, 04:35:55 PM

I know there's no chance they'll play these, but I wish they'd play stuff like Alive, Celebration, Sadistic Desire and Stab Me In The Back.

Youzu1982 · **Reply #129 on:** March 03, 2017, 05:10:37 PM

Hi guys, I bought 2 tickets last year and hoped I can go to the live with a girl together, unfortunately it won't happen... And most of my friends are busy tomorrow. So now I have one ticket very close to the stage available. I can't be bothered to sell it at this time, just wonder if anyone here in London or UK who want to see the show and hasn't got a ticket yet, I would happy to give it away. Please reply me if you are interested, best wishes guys, we are X!

I want to hear FEEL ME TONIGHT, BREAK THE DARKNESS, DRAIN, BLUE BLOOD and VOICELESS SCREAMING...

_{and - hate me for this - i really want to hear DESPERATE ANGEL}

Matthias · **Reply #131 on:** March 03, 2017, 07:57:06 PM

Pretty sure you'll get to hear DRAIN.

Agreed! I like Desperate Angel haha

I really just want them to play old X songs again, though I won't be disappointed if they don't.

Yes. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel that it will be the same setlist as 2014 plus La Venus.

Hyunkel · **Reply #137 on:** March 04, 2017, 07:20:59 PM

Not about the concert in itself but I just stumble upon an article in Le Monde (a very known french newspaper).

I'd never thought I'd find such an article in that newspaper, makes me happy

Been following the tweets on Twitter. So far the setlist is, (not confirmed!):

1. Rusty Nail
2. Hero
3. Jade

Kasumi · **Reply #139 on:** March 04, 2017, 11:53:27 PM

It. Was. AWESOME.

mC · **Reply #140 on:** March 05, 2017, 12:01:36 AM

Beyond jealous! Highlights?

Camazotz · **Reply #141 on:** March 05, 2017, 12:17:07 AM

Loved it! But is it just me who thinks they should rename the documentary to 'we are Yoshiki'?

Kasumi · **Reply #142 on:** March 05, 2017, 12:19:46 AM

Drain - we headbanged sooooooo hard
La Venus - sounded lovely live
Kurenai - such a fucking perfect song...
X - we screamed like mad

Yoshiki covered Queen and David Bowie on piano

Endless Rain... okay I admit it. I just say this because it's one of my favs
Art of Life - Toshi hit that last note just perfectly... and damn Toshi can sing...

magucathy · **Reply #143 on:** March 05, 2017, 12:36:17 AM

Kasumi, nb and I had such a great time. We head banged so much

I have been screaming, singing and jumping the whole time. I don't think I can talk tomorrow.

Toshi's performance was good. I was surprised that they played almost all the "new" songs.

magucathy · **Reply #144 on:** March 05, 2017, 12:39:31 AM

One more thing, I saw a very old English couple (not sure if they are English but they have the English look) at the concert! I guess they are both over 75, maybe even older.
Respect!

nb · **Reply #145 on:** March 05, 2017, 12:44:43 AM

Magucathy, very glad to finally meet you in person. It was such a great show.
And I cried like a 14 year old girl the whole first quarter

Please can you post your setlist?

Which was the new song? There was one song I haven't heard before.

And yes, Camazotz, we are x is all about yoshiki, but I watched it already last year.

nb · **Reply #146 on:** March 05, 2017, 12:54:49 AM

Sadly but expected they played no songs from vanishing vision and jealousy (say anything didn't count)

And did you see Sugizo? He was posing like a RockStar (haha) the whole show. It was really amazing to watch him.

No.

Kasumi · **Reply #148 on:** March 05, 2017, 01:08:38 AM

I forgot to note that some random dude in the audience really loves Yoshiki. And the overall interaction with the audience was very nice. Toshi is sooo cool and relaxed when talking. ^^

reverieecho · **Reply #149 on:** March 05, 2017, 03:28:06 AM

Watched the live broadcast, it was amazing! The camera angles and all that. Love that it opens with Rusty Nail and ends with Art of Life. Haven't been too fond of their new songs but they all sounded good in this concert, especially Beneath The Skin. Say Anything was a pleasant surprise (all thanks to Toshl, LOL)

Xplosion posted the official setlist on Twitter.

The cameras focused on the audiences half the time, wonder if anyone of you were filmed

Must not think twice going to their concert given the chance next time.
