Revival

So apparently I was even more right than I could possibly imagine.

X-Japan is reviving, and hide is NOT coming back for the revival. Heath, Pata, Toshi and Yoshiki already have plans for new releases, they have a new recording already AND they are planning lives.

I do not agree with the decisions made by Yoshiki. Everyone is losing hardcore points on the awesome meter.. This business with Miyavi joining up with Gackt, Sugizo and Yoshiki pisses me off for one, and now reviving X.. It really seems like a tasteless publicity move, as does having SKIN's first live at an ANIME convention.. This is all leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

I support the Japanese music scene in the USA, REALLY I do. I will go see SKIN just for kicks and I will go see X-Japan as well. I really don't enjoy many of the people who listen to Japanese rock in our country but I can put up with them to support my cause. I just hope everyone can get on the ball and stop being retarded. Some of my close friends are already losing interest in Jrock because of the stupidity involved with its introduction to America.

COMON GUYS! The way you are doing this is just going to breed more retarded fangirls. D:

Jrevolution LA

As I'm sure you all know, there is a massive 2 day Jrock festival ('Jrock Revolution') in LA at the end of May, which I am required by powerful forces to be at. This is seriously the event I've been waiting for, for years. MANY YEARS! So anyway here's the lineup:



Alice Nine
D'espairsRay
Duel Jewel
Gilgamesh
Kagrra
Merri
Miyavi
MUCC
Vidoll

(I've already seen Alice Nine [opening for Kagrra at the Shibuya AX], D'espairsRay and MUCC live shows, but I am looking foward to seeing these bands play together :D)

And I'm pretty sure there is going to be some interesting exciting unscheduled craziness (perhaps an announcement about X-Japan reforming) I know Yoshiki is planning on doing SOMETHING crazy, maybe like X-2 or something.. He's been talking about Gackt, Sugizo and Toshi a lot.

On the subject of X-Japan, I know that Heath and Pata would probably be down for some new project, and recently I read Toshi's blog about how he started talking to Yoshiki again and they are interested in working together. HOWEVER I do not forsee hide returning to X-Japan for obvious reasons, and just because hide isn't gonna be part of it, it will be impossible to successfully reform X in any way.

I also have to add that I really dont like Miyavi or Alice Nine, but I enjoy all of the other bands to some degree, especially MUCC, D'espairsRay, Gilgamesh and Merri. But going all the way to LA for a show is kinda silly, but this is a first I can't afford to miss (under pain of death x_x;)


P.S.
I have a special review blog planned for the comming days, so stay tuned~!
