X-Japan

[rose_of_pain]

Yes, I have heard the news. I'm on two communities that posted it so I saw it twice.

I...I don't know what to think. I have very mixed feelings. I would've posted when I first saw it, but I had to go to class.

Just...an X-Japan reunion? Really? Heh. And also a rumor that Sugizo might be playing hide's part. Which...at least I'm glad its Sugizo as I don't think anyone else could do it but still...it still feels it wouldn't be the same.

I guess the other question is on if any of us here in the US would have a chance of seeing them. Or go there or something but I bet tickets would be insanely hard to get a hold of.

And is it bad that when I first heard the news, my immediate reaction was "Toshi you ass"? ^^;; Ah, anyways, going to take me quite a long time to figure out what I feel about this. Kinda similiar to my feelings on the Yoshiki/Gackt/Sugizo band thingy.

I'm really not sure how I feel about it either. ^^; Part of me feels excited, the other feels torn just because... I don't know, it's been so long and it won't feel like the same band without hide, even though I know there was X-Japan before him.

I had the same reaction reading the translation of his blog entry. XD;; But yeah.

Wait, I have not heard this. @__@ What's going on?! They're getting back together? O_o Is this a one-time event, or are they like, starting up again?

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this either, because in my mind, while the sentiment is nice, I think I prefer the impression their Last Live left on me instead of possible future disappointments. Then again, if hide were still alive, I'd be cheering them on nonstop, so I have definite personal bias.
I worry Yoshiki can't drum at the same level he used to, I guess. I don't mind Yoshiki working with Gackt, but that in itself is by no means an alternative to X...and Sugizo, well I respect Sugizo enough to see him substitute for hide on the guitar, but it's not the same thing regardless. Toshi's announcement was definitely the most bizarre of all; to him, I don't know what to say. o.O

An X=japan reunion? That's made of epic fail.
What the fuck is Yoshiki thinking? He needs to settle down, take a rest and enjoy the rest of his life. He sure has enough money to do so.
