  1. I thought it would be easier to pretend to not give a f*ck about Yoshiki's last random socialite shenaningans if we collect them in one single topic (so we also don't spam the forum with a new thread for each appearance.) In the previous episodes our posponing antihero was spotted trying to strangle the Queen of England with his scarf And trying to marry into the royal family. Where will he go next and what will he do to not realease the new album he absolutely did complete (cross on his heart)?
  2. The "ATTACK ON YOSHIKI" commercial campaign launched in Japan on September 3 as a promotion for Asahi's Wonda Coffee. The 3D CG animated character was modeled after YOSHIKI, and the thundering drum sounds were recorded live by the X JAPAN drummer himself. The Wonda coffee brand will include 20 different collectible Attack on Titan character cans. Additionally, customers can enter to receive one of only 500 cans featuring Survey Corp YOSHIKI or Titan YOSHIKI. YOSHIKI is a composer, classically-trained pianist, rock drummer, and the leader of the rock group X Japan, who has sold over 50 million records. He is also the composer of the Attack on Titan theme song “Red Swan” which debuted at #1 on iTunes Rock Charts in 14 countries. source

    I made a new topic because it's no longer a rumour (I suppose). The new X Japan album will be released 30th of june, a world tour will follow. The album will contain 13 tracks, tracklisting and more info will be revealed soon. https://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000140364 Btw in the article he says "Oh, it's april fools today isn't it? lol". He probably knows nobody believes him lmao. First leg of the world tour has been revealed: 11th July - Osaka jo hall 12th July - Osaka jo hall 14th July - Yokohama Arena 16th July - Yokohama Arena 17th July - Yokohama Arena
  4. The other day I met YOSHIKI. I was at a showing of We Are X in Oslo, Norway. Norway doesn't have a huge VK scene so I was happy he had come. It turned out to be his first time in Norway. I asked him "Can western bands be visual kei?" - He laughed and replied "Of course!" So I followed up with "If a western band is to be visual kei, is there something they must adhere to, in terms of style or aesthetic?" He explained VK is more of a mindset, born out of them feeling like they didn't really fit in anywhere. As he said, they played "super heavy" and "super soft" music. He also told me about a festival he hosted recently where the bands were everything from metal to pop, and there was even a band that didn't play music (that got some laughs around the room). He summed everything up by saying it really isn't a genre, but more of a mindset allowing yourself to be as creative as you want. And it also generally has makeup. I am summing these things up from memory. So here's my take on VK: 1. You must be influenced by Japan/Japanese music (because after all, it originates from Japan). 2. Make creative use of makeup/visuals. 3. Be somewhat diverse in terms of style. 4. Be doing your own thing confidently (basically: be true to yourself, because people and fans can see through you being a cookie-cutter). So basically, no you don't have to have a lolita in the band. One member doesn't have to wear a surgical facemask at all times. You don't have to have death-metal growls in your music. Some music fans within genres and subcultures get really elitist and that gets irritating, especially when people say that VK is only Japanese (so is glam-metal only truly American? Can you not make Brazilian samba music if you aren't from Brazil?). VK is unique in that it is vague but also has a meaning. A band alone isn't just "visual kei" but "visual kei rock" would be a better indicator. I think in that sense, the addition of the term "visual kei" before "rock" to me would indicate the above traits I listed, like being influenced by Japan, be somewhat "different" in terms of makeup/visuals and potentially have a diverse musical style. I had a blast meeting YOSHIKI. He's a funny and nice guy, and it was an honor having him in Norway.
  5. Chi andrà a vedere il film We Are X a Firenze il 14 ottobre? Io non so ancora se ci sarò, perchè è piuttosto lontano per me e senza compagni di viaggio diventa costoso... Però mi piacerebbe soprattutto poter assistere al Q&A con Yoshiki. Cosa ne pensate di questo evento?
