On the other side of toshi, where hide should stand... that's not yoshiki. Yoshiki is on his drums you can see his hair.

that's not nice...

if you mean the guy with the red x on his back that's a cameraman :D

>sighs in relief<

Holy goodness. I was about to kill...

You're right about the guitarists. They put a stand mic and a guitar on the right where Hide would have played. They filmed it both from the roof of the building where they did the gig and also from a chopper.

It was a pretty good gig though I only got to see parts of it on tv yersterday. There will be an interview with Yoshiki on Chanel 8 (in Tokyo) soon, said a news caster on a morning show today. I'm sure it 'll be on youtube in no time.

:eek: You were there?????? Man your lucky!

I hope the interview gets onto youtube (with subtitles :D)

I like the idea of having a mic and guitar for hide, I wonder who the guitarist/s are gonna be to replace him, Sugizo maybe??

>weeps<

the thought is depressing...

i wonder... there would be so much joy in reunion, but there would be so much sorrow....

a very bad youtube video:

YouTube - お台場海浜公園にて

I know what you mean. My heart ached when I saw that empty space with a guitar without its owner present on that stage on TV yesterday. But when I heard Yoshiki say on the morning show today that if there were anything that his band had left undone, it would be a world debut, I knew I had to support this reunion.

After all, this band originally had to change its name from 'X' to 'X Japan' because when they first wanted to go world-wide, there was already a band named 'X' in the U.S. So it has to go world-wide however late it might seem to some. I think Hide would like them to do it as well.

Not to be picky... well okay to be picky it's hide or HIDE. All caps or all lowercase.

It's a peev of mine.
