Sunday, February 25, 2007 

God!!!

I finally got the day off yesterday.

After the new year, I've been working and working……. I got sick, but kept recording and recording……. So I finally finished one of the projects I have been working on……. Not VUK, not yet…….

 

Anyway, it was a perfect day off…… I went to my studio, and interviewed several candidates for my entertainment organization, and went to dinner with several friends…… then went to see the "Dir en grey" show at the Wiltern Theater in LA.

Overall the show was great…… full of energy, and….. every time I see them perform, it makes me want to rock…… I'm doing a lot of different genres of music……. from classical to…… whatever…… but I think I really love rock. I've been playing the drums since I was 10 years old…… well, actually playing the piano since age 4 as well.

 

Anyway…… after the show, the entire band came to my house, and celebrated Shinya's  (the drummer's) birthday party. Back then….. well, when I was producing Dir en grey, we used to hang out pretty much every day…… It was so nice to hang out with them again.

Last night we ended up drinking together until the morning,

I hope they're all OK for the show tonight.

 

On stage they were very charismatic, but off stage they are some of the sweetest people I know…… HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THEM!!!

 

Well, I haven't been producing bands or artists for a while…… because at one point I was producing almost 10 artists at the same time, and it completely burned me out…… But I may be starting again…… well before I do, I have to finish so many other things……

OK….. I'm still working on Violet UK……I think….. but for the first time in many years, I'm confident that some of these songs will be able to blow your minds away……

 

When I used to do X Japan's songs…… every time I finished recording….. I hated them….. I always felt that something was missing…… but finally with VUK…… You'll see!!!!!!!

 

And…… some people have questions about "THE BAND".

Yes, Sugizo from Luna Sea came here to LA several times last year, and last month Gackt came to town, and we both went to dinner….. pretty much just the two of us……

Actually that was really funny….. Gackt came to my house and ate dinner…… that was good….. Then I said to him "why don't we go out to dinner?". and he said "we just ate…..???" then I said "I wanna eat different food….." well .... we ate Japanese food at my house, and then ended up going out to a Japanese restaurant in LA…..

(We are very weird…. Ha, ha, ha, ha)…… but that was fun!

 

Yes, I'm so lucky to have them as friends, and also to be able to work with them professionally.

Sugizo and Gackt are such talented people, also having such an amazing vibe. Actually, they are all going to come here next month with one more person that I can't reveal yet.

 

OK, and X Japan…..

I'm like…….Why now? ..... Why, why, why……

To be honest….. it took years to conquer the pain and sadness….. maybe not yet, I still cannot listen to…… or watch X Japan's videos….. without tears…..

" MY OWN  GODDAMN BAND" ….. I can't listen to it without crying…… HOW CAN I BE IN IT AGAIN? …… IT HURTS SO MUCH…… TO EVEN TALK ABOUT  ...... X JAPAN…..

Yes, I can play the drums. I think I can play them even harder than before…… of course my injured neck and wrists hurt….. but SO WHAT!!! ….. I don't give a fuck about that kind of pain…..

But mentally….. I don't know if I can take it….. I'm not saying if I'll do it or not….. I talked to Toshi (vocalist)……. He called me almost towards the end of last year….. for the first time since we went our separate ways……….

Toshi and I..... we grew up together…........ I don't know  ….. I don't know…. I don't …… know …….

 

Yes, there are lyrics of the song "WITHOUT YOU" ….. That, I wrote, right after Hide's death….. also, I had to do so many takes of piano recording, because of the tears falling down and flooding the piano keys, and my fingers kept slipping again and again.

If there's somebody to sing this song ….. I think it should be Toshi….. but …… I don't know….. I don't know….. I don't fucking know….. It's too painful to……

I'm sorry, I don't want to make you feel depressed or anything like that….. but so many people have been asking me about this, so I had to say something…… just let me….. have…… a little more time……

 

I love you all.

I'm glad you got a day off & it was wonderful! I have yet to see Dir en grey perform, but my friends who have seen them tell me they're awesome!!!

I'm so glad you have lots of great friends that you can relate to and enjoy hang out with! It makes happy to know that you have great friends, I worry about you being lonely sometime.

You already blow my mind, so Violet UK will probably make my head explode!

X was your dream that fell from the sky and shattered ontop of you. The only thing that can heal wounds like that is time. There are several X Japan songs & DVD scenes that I can't listen to or watch because it hurts too (and I didn't even get into X until a couple years after the breakup).

Don't rush into things or feel like time is running out. Good things come often, but great things take time..........and we're not going anywhere!!! (Mwahahahah! )

Dear Yoshiki,

I'm glad that you finally had a day off yesterday and that you spent it so perfectly!
And it's nice that you hung out with Dir en grey again and that you all celebrated Shinya's birthday together! ^.^

Regarding the thing with X-Japan:
I thought a long time about what to write about it here in my comment and...I'm sure that everything that I would write wouldn't be enough... But let me say that I feel with you...
While I'm writing this "Without you" is playing in the background. It's one of my favorite songs and I agree with you...if somebody should sing it it has to be someone special... And I'm sure that you'll find this special someone!
Take all the time you need...

Lots of love,
Haru

Don't feel pressured Yoshiki!

We're your fans, and no matter in which direction you choose, we'll follow you.
Of course it would be wonderful to hear X Japan's songs performed live once more... but if that causes you pain, just take it a step at a time. ^^
Nothings more important than your happiness, yes? Take it easy and relax a little.
Don't over work yourself, kay?

Always loving and loyal fan,

yoshiki様

本当に。。何を言えばいいのか、分からなくなりました。泣きながら読んでいたのです。Xをもう一度組むかどうか、これはyoshikiさんやほかのメンバーたちの問題で、ファンの私たちが口を出すべきではないっていうか、言っても役に立てないと思いますが。。。しかしやはり望んでいません。Xは神話のままで十分ではありませんか。第一、yoshikiさんにはすでに通ってきた道に再び戻らないでいただきたいのですから。ただ、toshiさんと仲直りができればいいなと思います。。。

I'm so happy to hear of you again! To hear about your friends and life. I think we all are happy that you are sharing your life with us, your feelings, even your pain... I wish I could help you out from there... I guess what you need is time, and friends.. Oh if  I could be your friend and help you....
I love X Japan, what you did with that band was incredible, amazing! The fantastic songs together with you tallent musicans, YOU, Toshi, Hide, Pata and Heath...
   This is the first time im writing here,, I dont really know what to say, I'm so happy to get this kind of contact with you, I guess its the only way... Please Yoshiki, Carry on!!! We will all help you as much as possible... I love the music you create! Yesterday I started to listen a little bit to VUK; Blind Dance was one of them.. I don't know why I haven't done it before, but I tell you, IT'S FANTSTIC! You make me want to express my feelings through music, I have never done it before but I want to learn how to play piano, I know it's late..
Did I say that I love the way you play the piano? Please Carry on, please... We want you to come back to stage, but don't push yourself to hard, we can be patient, the most important thing is that you can find a meaning in it. I want to meet you, I don't know how or where but one day I will...
Im listening to that song now, It says it has no name, from VUK. "I Can't live without, I Can't live without, I Can't live without you, here in the dark"... It sounds so good, the music, the vocals, the lyrics, in perfect harmony, as always when you do something.
Last I want to give u credit for Art of Life; I cannot belive that you made it, It's so perfect, I mean you if someone can make a song like that, I cannot stop listening....
I'm so sorry you feel sad, but I understand, you need time... And friends, I hope they can help you, and that we, your fans, can...
Feel our support Yoshiki, you are the best musician I have ever heard of, and I doubt I will ever find someone as good as you are..
-Carl

I don't know what to say......it must feel awful to have the deal about X Japan dumped on you all of a sudden, especially when you don't seem to have been expecting it. If you were perfectly fine and alright with the idea of seeing X Japan rise again, and capable of seeing everything but how you broke up and how hide had passed, I'm not sure what emotions can go back into the songs. I don't know how to phrase this well...I guess I'm trying to say that it hurts to lose, it fucking hurts to lose when you've gotten so far and attained so much. And if one doesn't hate the losing part, then one must either not have loved or fought for everything that you didn't want to let go of.

But for everything you put out, from the perspective of a fan, I'm incredibly moved by the sheer amount of effort and willpower you put into your work. I want to watch you triumph over your sadness, I want to see you climb beyond the reach of your detractors. I know that you would be a step closer to heaven then anyone else can, and I believe your music can make the gods cry. I want to listen to your music, and watch it calm the world and break it apart again.

Love you.

I love you too.

The first time I heard "Tears," I fucking cried my eyes out. Even without knowing the words . . . almost every X Japan ballad does that to me, and I hate it and I love it.

Please, just do what feels right for you. Don't do it if it feels wrong.

Love,

grace.

I wondered if you'd end up going to one of Dir en grey's shows! I saw them when they were at the House of Blues in Chicago. It was totally amazing! How wonderful that you got to hang out with them again. I'm sure they were so happy to see you!

VERY excited about the project you're working on with Gackt and Sugizo. I can't wait to see who else will be involved. Please tell us as soon as you can!

Also, don't push yourself too hard, Yoshiki-san. Your fans love you and want to see you do what's best for yourself, so don't make yourself take any pain you're not ready for, okay?

Lots of love from me. <3

Whenever I read your blogs, I never feel depressed. I like the way you express yourself.

I hope you will reach your goals for the future. I will try my best to reach mine too ^-^  But don't overwork you!!! The most important thing is to enjoy everything you do.
I would like to say you so much other things, but my english is too poor =_="
So I hope your doing well, and don't forget to relax sometimes ^_~

It sounds strange, but you motivate me to never give up! Thank you.

Yoshiki, we love you so passionately. I just want to hug you! You must be feeling so emotional right now. Please don't drain yourself; I understand how overwhelming things can become. I'm sure a lot of us understand. You take your time. Relax your mentality. We love you and are behind you 100%!

Please take care of yourself! We love you so deeply! And please give Sugizo my regards! I admire him very much! ^o^ <333

Dear Yoshiki,

        That is a tough call. I was sort of in the same situation not too long ago. I belong to a group of friends that play online video games. (Definetly not the status of X Japan, but the situation is sort of the same.)

One of my really good friends from this group of people passed away the monday before this thanks giving. He was a good friend to everyone, and was sort of like the glue that held us and everything we did together. After he passed we did not know weither we should go on or not for alot of reasons. 1st reason being it was very painfull. Being on the game, and knowing he was gone and was never going to be able to play with us again, was SOOO hard for us to come to terms with. 2nd reason was with out his imput we felt lost in what direction we were going in.

 But after much sobbing, and misery we decided on one thing. Our friend would not have wanted us to be sad. Our friend would have wanted us to keep going and to make sure we had fun doing it. At 1st I felt like if we just went on with out him people would forget him. I definetly did not want that. I also felt like it would never be the same to be there with out him. It's true that things definetly aren't the same. I don't think they ever will be. But I can tell you this. It's definetly not as bad as I thought it was going to be. People have not forgottin about him at all either.

It's very hard but we believe in the things our friend stood for and believed in. He wouldnt want us feeling sad forever. He was the type of guy who would do anything he could just to make sure his friends were having a fun time. All we can do now to  honor him is keep moving forward doing the things he would have done.

I truely believe Hide would not have wanted you all to quit moving forward. I also truely believe he does not want you all to feel pain over what happened forever. The real question you have to ask yourself is, can you live with never even trying again? When I went back to the game I went back with the intention of if it's just too hard I wouldn't continue to go on. But my friends and I formed sort a support base for eachother, and we pulled through it together. Even if it's just for one album to "test the water", on how it feels to be back back in X Japan, I think would be worth it. You have millions of fans all over the world screaming for X Japan to rise once again. Even if it's short lived the people would understand and love it. It's all up to you though. 

You and Hide are my heros. You two have inflounced my own music, and my life in general for many many years. I'm sure which ever path you choose to take is the correct one. But I am also one of the screaming fans who wishes he could see X Japan once again. Either way you go with this, just know you have plenty of people who will support you no matter what. Myself included. As allways keep up the good work, and remember to take care of your health.

Jeremy

Hi Yoshiki,

First of all, I want to apologize in advance for what will most likely be a long post. I'm not the type to simply state that I am happy to see you posted a new blog, and then go on to praise it to the high heavens. That's not my style, never has been... Never will be. I can only hope that you will have time to read it... If not, then that's fine. I just needed to get my thoughts and feelings out anyway.

Concerning you working too hard and getting sick......

Haven't you been listening to us? Your health is far more important Yoshiki! YOU are far more important! The HELL with recording, and work!! Yeah I know you won't see it that way, but dammit... You need to start putting yourself first! Who gives a damn what others want? Sometimes you drive me up a wall with your stubborn attitude! Sure it's that same attitude that has most likely kept you moving forward, but sometimes you take it to extremes. Get a little selfish and greedy and start thinking about what YOSHIKI wants, and not what he THINKS others might want!! If people have trouble with you putting yourself first, then tough shit... The people who truly care will understand and accept it, because they DO care about you!

Concerning Dir en Grey.......

I agree, they are so lovable. I bet it must have been a real treat for Shinya to celebrate his birthday with you. As most of us know, you are his idol after all.   I always have to laugh when I come across an image of Shinya where he's dressed in a style similar to what you would wear when you were with X Japan. It's just way too cute!!

Sadly, I missed out seeing them when they appeared in Philadelphia back on February 6. I wanted to go so badly, but due to some personal issues and a busted water pipe that flooded my basement, I couldn't go. What made it even sadder was that they were appearing near me 4 days after my birthday.


Concerning you producing bands, and going back to doing it again.....

Now here's a prime example of you taking things to extremes, Yoshiki. Ever hear the phrase "Everything in Moderation"? It applies here too.  Yoshiki, you need to learn when to say "enough is enough" and how to say "no" and then stick with that decision, despite what others may want!  You are the only one who has the right to decide what you want to do; how much you want to take on; and how much of yourself you want to put into it all! I hate seeing you pushing yourself like you are! If it's causing you to get sick or may cause you to burn yourself out, then it's just NOT worth it!

I know it will never be answered but I can't help but wonder just why you feel this need to push yourself as hard as you do? Why you take things to such extremes that it puts your own health at risk?  Is it because you enjoy the challenge? Is it because you are striving to prove something to yourself? Or is it because you know that if you stay busy enough, you don't have time to think and remember? There are times when I honestly start thinking that you work as hard as you do because it keeps you one step ahead of whatever it is you are running from. You can tell me to shut up, or decide to not even approve this, but I needed to express how I feel and sometimes see things with you. 

Forgive me if I offend you with some of what I say here but... I just want to see you happy, Yoshiki... I want to see you smile again from the heart. While I will ALWAYS support you and your endeavors, I won't just sit back, nod and smile, like a good little fan. I can't do that! So, I will voice my concerns from time to time, even if I risk making your "Black List". I care enough to say what I think... How you see it all, is entirely up to you.


Concerning Gackt, and the whole issue with "The Band" as you put it....

Now why is that I can so see you two doing something so wild as going to eat twice? Sometimes you do the cutest things, and have me laughing my damn ass off. It does make me happy to see you enjoying yourself as it appears you have been. That's all that really matters in the long run. I have said it many times, and while I hate sounding like a broken record, seeing you happy and smiling from the heart, is and will always be, my greatest joy.

I do wonder about how this "Band" will affect things with VUK, though? We have been waiting so long to finally hear news about an album, and now it just seems as though VUK is being put on the back burner, so to speak, and all the focus going to this new project. Even so, I know you need to do what makes you happiest, so I have tried to just 'go with the flow', so to speak, even when I start having my doubts and/or concerns about it all.  Do what you think is best Yoshiki... Do what feels right for you. We as fans, will just have to accept it. It's really all I can say about it.

Hmmm... Someone else, ne? Gee, I wonder who that "other person" might be? Especially considering a certain someone is supposedly doing a show in Vegas? *snickers* Your teasers drive me nuts at times! Still, they are one of the very things I find so cute about you.


Concerning this whole issue about X Japan......

Okay, here is where I need to be down right honest, probably to the point of pissing people off. Even so, I need to say this. If I don't I will hate myself for not speaking out.

DO NOT DO IT YOSHIKI!

I beg of you! Please don't do this to yourself.  It's obvious that it still brings you so much fucking pain. Concidering how you wrote about this whole thing, it is so obvious that you are having some serious doubts and fears about any type of reunion... So just don't do it!  Follow your heart dammit!!!! Who cares what others may want? Who cares what the fans would like? Who cares what management may want and like?  IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!!! Not if it means putting yourself through so much pain again!

God dammit, Yoshiki... Don't put yourself through all of that just to please the masses! I don't want to see another "Last Live"!! I don't want to see you breaking down like that EVER again! I don't want to see you hurting so badly.... You mean too much to so many people... Please... Say NO to it! Fuck what everyone else wants... Make yourself happy for once, dammit!

You ask for "a little more time"... Face it Yoshiki... If after ten years, this is still bringing you so much grief... No amount of time is going to change that. You're not ready to handle that pain... And that's okay. We'll help absorb some of it, when we can, but I'd sooner see X Japan remain as a memory, then to see you hurting like you are, just to bring that memory to life once more.

Yoshiki... The people who truly care about you... The fans who love you, for yourself... They will understand if you decide to not do anything with a reunion or however they are wording it all. If they don't understand... If they bitch and gripe... If they complain... Then fuck them all! It just means they never gave a flying flip about you as a person.  I am sorry to have be so fucking blunt but dammit... I'm tired of crying too. Hell, I'm ready to start bawling now, just knowing this whole X Japan issue is bringing you so much anxiety and pain! It's literally tearing my heart apart!

You are having so many doubts... I can hear them in your post. I can hear the confusion... I can feel the sorrow and pain.... Gods... Don't do this to yourself. Don't go against your heart just to make others happy! Please?

(Wouldn't you know it... I have my music player on Shuffle, and just as I started typing up this last section, "Without You" started playing. Now... I am crying.)

Follow your heart, Yoshiki. For once, do something because you know it will be best for you! Do it because it's what YOU NEED to do! Do it because you have to! Do it because you have to protect your heart! We (Those who really do care) WILL understand! It won't change how we feel about you! YOU... Your happiness... Your heart's truest desires... Your sweet smile... It's what matters the most to us.

I may not have been a fan for as long as many here have been, but it doesn't mean that I care any less than those long time fans. My only wish... My greatest joy... Is to see you truly happy. I want to see your pain fade so that your smile, and your heart, will finally be free.

Good luck, Yoshiki... And God Bless you. No matter what you decide... No matter how crazy and foolish you get... No matter how frustrated you make me.... My love will remain the same... Always and forever.

Dear Yoshiki-sama,

I too am a big fan and I am glad you came out and spoke about those emotional issues. It's very good to know you have recently contacted Toshi and so that makes me very happy as an X Japan fan. I'm sure Hide would be happy to know you are still giving it your all to be a musician.

I think it's awesome you hung out with Dir en grey and Gackt recently as well. They and many other bands/musicians are also some of my J-rock heroes, along with X Japan of course.

I know memories of X Japan can be a little much for you at times, but we support you every step of the way and we'll be here for you, for better or for worse. I for one can't wait to see your future music projects and I hope when you do perform in the future that you will think about making a stop to Charlotte, North Carolina, as I would be honored to attend one of your concerts.

You've done so much in your career and I think you have a lot left in you too, keep up the hard work and I will try to spread the word of your legacy as much as I can. I hope that whatever you choose to do in life, you are happy with it. Thank you for everything! We love you back man!

And we love you, Yoshiki.

I get so happy when you write stuff like this. I smile just by imagining your own smile. And I smiled even bigger when I read that Gackt part... you guys are... strange and ... cool...

Don't worry, take your time to do stuff. We long to hear your music, but we will wait forever it that's what it takes for you to be happy with your own work. We'll follow you everywhere... I'd follow you anywhere...

Kisses and love to you always. Ki wo tsukete.

Dearest Yoshiki,

Yoshikiさんのブログ、泣きながら読みました、、、涙が止まりません、、、何て言葉に表してコメントを書けばいいのか、、、戸惑っていますが、でも、何かを書いて伝えたい気持ちもあって、でも、何て表現すればいいのか、分かりません。

こんな私でさえも、Xの歌を聴いたり、映像を見たりすれば、いつも目には涙がいっぱいで、、、

時間が経てば、心も落ち着くとか、その痛みも和らぐとか言うけれど、必ずしも全てのことがそうとは限らない、、、他の人にはいつまで経っても分からない痛みで、私もそういう痛みがあるし、、、

だから、無理矢理、自分の気持ちを押し殺すことはないし、、、

きっと、周りが騒ぎ立てて先走っちゃって、、、

言いたいことが上手くまとまらなくて、ごめんなさい。

Please do not say sorry, Yoshiki!! You do not make us feel depressed...

Please please take your time and take care of yourself. 

I don't think you need to  answer something that you don't want to say...

Anyway, I'm sooooo glad to haer from you. ;-)

お体には気を付けて、Yoshikiさんの納得のいく良い物を作っていって下さい。そして、また笑顔で元気なYoshikiさんを見れることを楽しみにしています♪♪♪

Love you, Yoshiki.

Love,

Tomo xxxxx

Hi there Yoshiki, I hope you consider on taking some time for yourself, you need to rest too, or else you'll end tired, and not just physically.

Would you ever produce Dir en grey again? I hope you do, so they go back to their old style, which I think was better than the actual.

About "The Band", I wonder if you'll start working on it this year or the next one, and please, tell us the other members soon! we really, REALLY, wanna know and please try to convince Gackt on making rock songs once again, enough ballads for a while!

I was shocked when I read the news about X JAPAN, are you guys really coming back? or would it be something just for X's 10th disbandment anniversary? if so, I hope the idea of making a worldwide Tour pop ups for sure, now that you know X has big fans all over the world that would die to see you all on a live (like me! )
Regarding Toshi, why don't you guys try to get along better before getting the work started? like, try to be friends again, like you used to be. Hang out for a while, go out to dinner, get drunk!! You don't know me (but I hope you do someday), but based on my short life experience, that's the best way of getting started, it's not gonna be the same, but it can be better, so why not give it a try? when you're both ready, I hope to see you all rockin' and running everywhere while playing Orgasm or Kurenai.
You do need to relax... hey man, I love using your lyrics in my sentences, and I think you might need to "dry your tears with love", you already have a big LOVE Kleenex made by your fans and friends, try to use it some time.

Much love,
Trini (from Panamá)

Yoshiki, I think your music is wonderful. I read your blogs whenever  I see there is a new one. This one expressed so much emotion to me. I can honestly say that your music with X Japan and beyond has indeed had a positive effect on me. I am currently listening to the Blue Blood album and after beind down in the dumps last night and for most of today so far, with the help of a friend and your music I have indeed cheered up. Thank you for all that you have done, and will do in the future. Like everyone else has said, don't push yourself too hard. What ever you decide, I'm sure will be for the best.

I think that's great that your thinking of taking on producing once again.  It will be nice to finally see some real talented artists be given better artistic direction and not have the same style of cookie-cutter music produced.  I've heard many rumours as to who your third person is....so I anxiously await to see who it really is.  I'm sure whom ever you have selected will be a perfect choice and mesh very well with the rest of you.  I highly anticipate the return of your compositions, lyrics and once again the most phenomenal drummer come back to the stage!  Good Luck with everything and make sure you take care of yourself.  I don't think of any of us out here want to hear about you falling over from exhuastion because you push yourself too hard.  Take your time w/ trying to face the memories of X-Japan and getting through that part of your life.  Every little step you make is great progress and one day you'll finally reach that plateau.  Until than I look forward to hearing more from the Yoshiki we all have come to appreciate.

Well, take your time and keep on rockin!

We all love you Yoshiki San and will waite for you and your wonderfun music!

Dear Yoshiki,
I'm glad to hear that everythings going well there.
And you're having good time as well.
But I don't think that ppl are pushing you to do something/anything quick.... about those band things. Or at least I wish so.
I've been pretty confused lately too. But I understand that nothing's gonna happen quick... and also about X Japan. That's pretty hard subject, after all that happened. Even to me. I wish that things would be like back then.
And I try to understand you, and I think I do. I really do... somehow.
Lately that's been my everyday life, when I stop to think,  You, X Japan and all those rumours I've heard just comes up to my mind. pop~
But there's nothing to rush for, right?
You're having much things to do right now, so if anythings gonna happen, just let it come up and happen on time. The end of the world ain't coming tomorrow, not for years, hopefully~
:)
I Just wanted to say that.
And that's it.
I'm always looking for to hear from you.
Take your time and be happy~ <3
And remember to take care of yourself as well!
Love,

~R.

Hi Yoshiki!

You didn't write on your blog for a while...however you're here, now, and i'm happy to know that you are good.

Don't worry about VUK...i'll wait as long as you need, even if i'm really curious about it...

And about the band with Gackt...I'm sooo happy! Gackt and you are the artists that i like most and i'm really looking forward to listen what you're going to produce! I'd really like to meet you and him, one day! (nothing is impossible!)

About X Japan...i heard about it and i thought that when there's something that we strongly loved, is difficoult to think about a life without it. But finally, when you find how to conquer the pain and the sadness sometimes all the beauty of past come to you again...And you have to understand if all those years made you mature to restart with X Japan or made you mature to continue on your own...Time changes all of us and you can understand the right thing to do only by yourself...Don't think about your fans, it's YOUR decision and i'll keep supporting you even if you'll decide to not return with X Japan.

And please, even if a lot of people tell you this, care a little bit more about your health!

Take all the time you need!

I love you!

Arwis

Hello!
You finally finished one of the project? Great job, Yoshiki san. I hope all of your hard work are going well.
Oh, that sounds nice that you finally got the day off yesterday.....but you went to your studio, and interviewed several candidates........well,.... is that the day off for you? You seem to be really busy! Anyway, otsukaresama.

X JAPAN....
..yes, I know how you feel...why now?...yes
I just .....just  let me say.
I can picture......someday..................I see Toshi san sing "WITHOUT YOU".
..please just believe in hope inside your heart.


Get this, I went to see the live show yesterday, and saw heath and pata perform. That was fantastic! I love rock too!
You know what, I can't wait to see you perform.
You are going to be on a stage, and you are ...in my eyes.......
.....do you know what that does to me?

You rock my world!

Do what you do, we are always going to you to applaud from under a scene 

Your pain is understood, and I hope little by little continues healing, although those things never finish healing, but if as something it serves to you, sometimes the pain is like a fear, and the best way to surpass a fear is facing it.

Love you

And a big HUG

You're fucking awesome Yoshiki.
That's all I can say.

I really do hope that you do what you feel is right, though.
I mean, I miss X Japan a lot. More than a lot. I miss X more than life.
But, if you truely don't feel like it's time to bring X Japan back, we fans will understand completely.

Oh, and don't work so hard! You're no use to us if you're sick in bed from over-work and stress.

Dear Yoshiki,
I know it's painful. You always think about your fans but it's time to think about yourself. I am your fan and I don't want you to suffer. So please, don't think about us  but about yourself. Need more time? Fine, we have no right or will to force you to anything. Don't work too hard. You also need to rest.

hugs you tight

Yoshiki san:

I am writing this just to tell you that we are really happy because you are happy planning this project with gackt and sugizo, i am happy too because you met your friends of Dir en grey. I just want to tell you that we support in everything you make, and of course if you want to play again with X Japan, if you want to resurrect this legendary band, we will be the happiest fans in the world, you know, for a lot of overseas fans it was impossible to see you performing with X japan because in 97 we were too young to go to Japan and see you, in fact I was 15 at that time, and couldn´t go, I know since Hide san died it will be so hard for everybody to resurrect this band, but I'm sure you can do it, and of course I´m sure that Hide would like you to do it.

For the best musician in the world

Take Care

César

Reading your blog make me speechless. I dare not say I understand how you feel. But Yoshikisan, I really want you to know that I'll always support you.

I'm still cry while I watch the Last Live. Even the Forever Love one in the symphonic Concert can make me cry. I love you. I love X Japan.

Love.

Hi there Yoshiki, what ever you decide, i'm sure everyone will love, you play beautiful music, I havn't really listend to J/rock for a long time, but I quickly grew into it, X Japan was one of the most beautiful sounding grops I had ever heard, and honestly. I can somewhat understand how you feel, I myself listen to the songs and break into tears, the feeling thats put into the lyrics. The music, it's simply sublime, to feel depressed may not be the way it's ment. But some times, atleast to me, when i'm depressed the music you play is uplifting in a way, I'm sure all of your adoring fans can wait as long as it takes. I'm abit of a weirdo, and I'm always up for a nice chat, anyways. I found you via one of my friends, on here. I thought i'd try and get on your space, see if we could hang out and talk on here some time. I think it would be awsome to get to know you...<3 Azure

I feel like I missed out on years of amazing music to only find out about X-Japan so late (is seven years ago too late? hahaha). Still, I am glad I've known about X-Japan for this long. I still sing Crucify to Love often.

(Speaking of the Wiltern show... We knocked on the tourbus actually, long after the show was over, and gave someone to give Shinya a very weird -- well, now that I think about it, some of our birthday wishes were just plain weird -- card for him! We couldn't deliver it ourselves, but we were told there were guests. I'm thinking maybe one of them was you? We just missed you then)

yoshikiさん、

We can understand that how deep you feel inside for your pain,because we're now having the same feeling of sadness as you...I cried and cried after I read this blog entry...That's the first time you tell so many and your feeling to us about X Japan,
my dearest yoshikiさん, we all know that how deep you love this band and those people who are be with you,also,how hard you
 fight for the dream of your life with them...So please, just don't say any sorry to us anymore,we're all here,we are all here and staying with you,supporting you...We trust you,as we have already knew you for so many years,we love you,as we grew with you,with the whole X Japan together for so many years.We cried for your happiness and sadness,we cheer for what you get success,you're just not the lonely one in here,when you looking around,can you feel our love? Can you hear our voice that whisper to you?And,please believe that,hide never leave us alone...He knows that we are missing him and you're crying for him,
'cause he is now smiling and gazing at us in the heaven...Please just don't cry,please just be happy.Not only us but also hide wants you to be strong.We are sorry about that if we made you feel sad because of the questions we've been asked.We love you,we love hide,we love X Japan,we care all the things about that.Even some day I been old,I will be so proud to tell my children that I'm still loving a band named "X Japan",because in my heart,X Japan never disband. I'm so proud that I love X Japan,not only by the greatest music you gave us,but also the spirit that you taught me about fight for the dreams and never gave up. So,please,yoshikiさん,please just do whatever you want to do and release your heart,we'll wait for you and support you forever,in my heart,you're the yoshiki of X Japan forever. If there's a way that we can share you our proud of being a fan of X Japan, if there's a way that we can show you our care, if there's a way that we can mitigate your pain and sadness, we'll do everything for you, and for X Japan. Please just looking around,you have us,you have all your friends that care about you,and you have hide that blessing you.
We feel so happy that you met Dir En Grey. I did go to the live of Dir En Grey in Toronto,Canada. I live in Wisconsin and I actually wanna go to the one in L.A, for Dir En Grey, and for you. My friend told me that you went to the live of L'arc En Ciel before, I think you'll go to Dir En Grey's live too this year. A little bit disappointed that cannot go there and didn't see you, I hope someday that I can meet you,even though that may probably be a dream in my life forever, but I still looking forward. So I apply for the design college in L.A, hope someday I can get the success for my dream and also, I can see you.  Dir En Grey is growing up, they're fighting so hard for their dreams. I think Shinyaさん should be so happy that you all celebrated for his birthday,and 京さん,I just worried about him so much after I saw him hurt himself in the live of Toronto. I'm so sorry that I just wanna talk to you like friends, as I knew you for so many years that be growing with X Japan, even though know that you won't reply me, still feel so happy to even just thinking about you'll read these words.
Thank you for spending time to read my words, yoshikiさん, please take care of yourself, please be happy. I love you and support you forever.
愛してる...
Forever Love...


Love as always,
Neko
