Title: X Japan Reunion Official!
Post by: HybridZero on October 29, 2007, 06:43:39 am

I know there are a few other X Japan fans here so I thought I'd post this.

Rumors have been flying around about a possible X Japan reunion for awhile now and as of last monday (October 22), the band is officially back together. They played a concert on top of a building apparently to celebrate the occasion. They are scheduled to play a new years eve gig, have a new song (tentatively titled "I.V.") coming out soon, and things are looking good for the future!

I'm personally super excited about this, as X japan has become one of my favorite bands in the last little while. I'm curious to hear what the other fans have to say about the reunion!

Well, I know the band won't be quite the same without hide, but yoshiki is the one who writes most of the music, so I'm thinking they'll still be good.

Yeah I'm not super major fan but they are great.  Good news to hear especially that they are coming out with new stuff.

I heard about this in Yoshiki's blog quite some time ago already.
I fucking love this band, since many years!! I seriously live by their songs.
I'm going to Japan just for them.  :woop:


Also X-fans, check out Yoshiki's other project S.K.I.N!!

A video from the video shoot for the new song. Not great quality, but at least you can hear the song. I admit I didn't like it at first (the intro in particular), but as the song went on, and I listened to it a few more times, it really grew on me.

Yeah this is cool, I was so psyched when I first heard about it!

What's particularly cool is that their new song I.V is in the film Saw IV in the credits scene. So everyone who likes X Japan has to go and see Saw IV to hear the awesomeness!  :fogetbackflip:
Also, although Hide is no longer with them, apparently a few of the guitar riffs in the song were actually written by him before he died (can anyone else confirm this?). So in a way it's like he climbed out his grave for this song... freaky, but again, cool.
