X Japan reforms in December!!!!!!!!!

[Miyavifan]

I'm not sure I'd go that far, personally. But I too don't believe he deserves it, just being honest.

Sorry, Yoshiki.

[Tordek42]

Are you guys just angry because he was in Limp Bizkit??

I think he'll do ok, sure a Japanese guitarist would be nice (I was really hoping for Sugizo tbh), but maybe with X apparently doing gigs in America in a few months, maybe the band are "using" Wes to get more attention in America.

[Miyavifan]

No, I'm angry because it's not Kao. hide is his idol, from what I read. Not to mention didn't Yoshiki used to manage Diru? If so, he should know that.

[Tordek42]

Good point but from what XJF said, it seemed like the only reason he was upset was because of Limp Bizkit. If Yoshiki picked WB and not Sugizo or Kao or anyone else then he must have his reasons.

[Miyavifan]

ah, true. It did seem that way, kinda to me.

That's true. I still think Kao should have his chance though, he deserves it.

But also... there's already lots of American fans, so I don't think that would really be necessary.

[Touya]

I think the reason Yoshiki picked a non Japanese artist is so there no mistake that it is NOT a replacement for hide. I think you can't make it anymore clearer then that.

[Miyavifan]

Ah, maybe.... but still the only he's not "replaced" is not to replace him. Not to get another guitar player. Or perhaps someone not well known at all.

*blood boils* I want to contact Yoshiki, and tell him I think Kaoru should get at least one chance.

[Touya]

I think this is good this way. There's no chance of keeping the guitarist after the show.

And there is no way to play Kurenai without a guitarist silly.

[Tordek42]

Don't know if this means anything, but WB has removed the comments about X Japan both in his blog, and by fans... Maybe X Management told him to, or maybe something else... I'm so confused

And good point Touya, didn't think of that...

[Miyavifan]

yah. I know. Is just sad Kaoru won't get to play hide's part, at all.
