Someone going to Wembley btw? I'm going together with a friend who is also a member here.
I'm so excited! I always wanted to see them live as a teenager and wouldn't have thought to ever be able to. <3 And there even is a signing session on friday. <3 They also just posted a link for a new song, it's so beautiful: https://www.yahoo.com/music/song-pre...165116535.html And an acoustic version of La Venus: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/vi...dtrack-w468311 |
I went to the concert yesterday. It really was amazing! Easily the best one I ever attended. They first showed a Wembley edition of the film, which was great and very emotional (I cried) and was about an hour long (and a half? Can't really remember because the opening of the concert with Rusty Nail right after the film ended was so great that I didn't looked at my phone) and then they played until 11 pm. Minus the time between the show and the first encore as well as the first and second encore, it must have been a show almost 3 (2 and a half?) hours long.
Even though I was standing all the time, I didn't got tired and not once wanted to sit down. They interacted a lot with the fans. Yoshiki made fun of themselves apologizing for the delay of the new album and after naming a few reasons saying "yes every excuese is welcome". The way he said that was very sweet. He then continued saying that it is really almost 99% finished and just one thing missing: they wanted to record the fans voices for a new song. So Toshi teached us how to sing. It was very emotional. During another part Yoshiki sat at the piano, asking Toshi if he wanted to say something, Toshi seemed a little confused and asked "Say something?" and Yoshiki replied "Yes you wanted to say something". Toshi joked "Say anything?" and the fans were cheering, so Yoshiki started to play it on the piano and we were all singing together with Toshi. Every member also had their solo parts, especially amazing was Sugizo on the violin. I had to cry a few times because they played so many songs I wanted to hear live since I was 12 and though I would never be able to. Furthermore they if course didn't forget Hide and Taiji, especially Hide was seen on the screen a few times. ;_; I cried again. lol There was also the 3rd movement of Art of Life. It was very moving. I so love Art of Life! ♡ If course there were also a lot of energetic parts which were amazing and countless "We are X" moments. It was pretty obvious that the show ment a lot to them, they all seemed very moved and I had the feeling they wanted to make the delay of the show and album up to us fans, since you were able to buy a tshirt PLUS a limited edition of the film soundtrack for just 30£. This is a very fair price I think. Then there also was a signing session on friday I went to. It was very special to me since I was able to talk to Yoshiki and he praised me for my Japanese. I told him that the music of X was very important to me since my childhood and that tomorrow a dream becomes true and thanked him. Japanese people are easily to impress most of the time with just saying "arigatou", but since Yoshiki told me my Japanese was great and he interacted with me, I was very happy. ♡ Oh and a lot of Japanese fans came to London for the concert, also a lot of older ones in cosplay. It was great to see so many old fans! If anyone is interested, I made 4 videos or so, they are just a few seconds long because I don't like recording that much during a concert since I'm not really able to comcentrate on the show then, but if anyone wants me to upload them I happily share. =) I also made a few photos if someone wants to see them. Even though I was pretty far away and there isn't that much to see. |
^ thank you for report! It's very touching) All copies of movie soundtrack was sold out at HMV where was signing session
Hope one day they'll come here there is 210min video of this live at JPS http://jpopsuki.eu/torrents.php?id=2...rrentid=317896 |
^Ah yeah I read somewhere that some people had to get a paper signed because there weren't enough copies. As far as I catched the situation from what the security was talking, there were a lotbof people who didn't got a ticket for the signing session but they let them line up behind everyone else. So I guess that's why?
Someone filmed the whole thing? Wow that must be exhausting. Is the quality any good? |
oh that was nice to allow more people attend session
video is 30Gb hdtv-ts. I didn't download it yet |
^ah ok, it's the WOWOW live broadcast that's up. Btw, its freeleech atm! =)

Ayu's expression is horrible and I actually try to ignore her when looking at the photo. But I thought it was so cute how YOSHIKI is totally into taking that selfie, ToshI being all amused and PATA, HEATH and SUGIZO looking as if they don't give a shit what's going on right now. lol

^ I also liked that Sashihara and Mayuyu are also on the pic.

Oh no! :laugh
Oh well, it's just too good to be true that we are able to witness X JAPAN dropping new album and we can even go and buy it just like an usual new release. Anyways, if they release it someday I hope it will be big news and really really hot release. So excited anyways. |
Well, at least he's somehow making fun of themselves, knowing that they're late...

EMERGENCY SURGERY FOR YOSHIKI OF X JAPAN TO TAKE PLACE
It has been determined by multiple doctors that YOSHIKI of X JAPAN will undergo an emergency cervical artificial disc replacement surgery on Tuesday, May 16 in Los Angeles.
As a result of YOSHIKI’s intense drumming style and the impact it has had on his physical health, he was diagnosed with cervical foraminal stenosis in July 2009, and then underwent a cervical laminectomy and a cervical foraminotomy. After suffering from a herniated disc that has worsened over the past six months, YOSHIKI has experienced symptoms including numbness and severe paralysis of the left hand and arm, which have since been affecting his musical performances. Upon receiving a complete examination by his doctors in both Japan and the U.S., YOSHIKI was diagnosed with cervical foraminal stenosis (radiculopathy of the left arm and herniation of intervertebral disc C5-C6). After thorough consultation, YOSHIKI has no choice but to undergo surgery at this time. YOSHIKI has been informed by a neurosurgeon in Japan that his neck has experienced severe damage that would force a professional rugby player to retire. It has been medically determined that he is approaching his limit, both physically and mentally. The intensive schedule has taken its toll on his already damaged nervous system. With performances at Visual Japan Summit Festival, Yoshiki Classical Special in Japan, Hong Kong, Carnegie Hall in New York and Wembley Arena in London, he has continued to play around the world with X JAPAN and solo. In addition to adopting an intensive travel schedule to over 20 film festivals globally to promote the documentary WE ARE X, contributed to his health condition. “I had the pleasure of seeing Yoshiki, who has a C5-6 disc herniation with left arm radiculopathy. He has been recommended to have a cervical artificial disc replacement.” explains Neel Anand, M.D., YOSHIKI’s Orthopedic Spine surgeon in the U.S. Dr. Tommy Tomizawa, M.D., adds “It was decided upon consultation that he will undergo emergency surgery as the condition of his neck at present will interfere not only with his career as an artist, but also with everyday life. From viewing the results of the MRI and CT scans, the damage is so severe that it is apparent that he has experienced considerable pain while performing. As this would be his second such procedure, we eliminated the option of a cervical foraminotomy, an operation in which a portion of bone is removed. Yoshiki’s symptoms reappeared at the Visual Japan Summit festival, which was held last October in Japan. By the time he performed in January of this year at New York’s Carnegie Hall, he had already lost the sensation in his left hand. The symptoms worsened this March following the U.K. Wembley performance, but he continued recording. Even in his condition at that state, Yoshiki stated that he wanted to see things through to the end. However, due to the worsening of his symptoms, doctors, determined that if the situation continued he would have gone beyond the point of surgery and recovery.” The operation is to be performed on May 16th at a Los Angeles hospital. Unfortunately, the cancellation of all scheduled activity in May could not be avoided. X Japan’s World Tour of Japan We Are X 2017 dates in July, the Yoshiki Premium Dinner Show dates in August and September, as well as yet-to-be-announced dates for the summer world tour that was to start in Los Angeles, are now undergoing rescheduling with his U.S. agency William Morris Endeavor. Following YOSHIKI’s operation, a discussion whether to cancel, postpone or move forward as scheduled will be held amongst the agent, promoter and management. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience this will cause to fans and everyone involved. MANAGEMENT http://www.yoshiki.net/YoshikiSurgery.html |
We hope YOSHIKI recovers as soon as possible... Get well soon, YOSHIKI... :cry
|
Man, X Japan don't seem to have much luck with their health recently. Hope he has a good recovery!
|
I hope he will be well soon!
|
Oh no! I'm praying he will recover well!
and how come I didn't know there'll be lives in July ( |
