Большой отчет о Yoshiki Foundation party - www.japanator.com
Особенно порадовало:
And finally, big surprise here, we got to be part of a new music video shoot. They brought in cages and suspended some scantly-clad women, who were incredibly hot, then proceeded to shoot the video with multiple takes for their brand new song "Born to be Free." I'll be honest when I say it's a really good song. I actually like it more than anything else they've done recently, and getting to hear it in person -- even if it was the studio track -- was quite a treat.
They also showed off some of the additional footage that was shot for the upcoming video as well as footage that I could only assume will be part of their PV for "Jade." It felt very surreal, almost akin to the technology used for the film 300. Though, what interested me most was the fact that Yoshiki actually looked hotter than the girl he was standing with in the footage... which was strange cause she was quite gorgeous.
это не целиком хвалебный отчет, как можно подумать, автору не все понравилось

и пусть будет еще одно видео новой песни:

But for him, his existence, the very fact that he is living, is like a promise. (с) Gackt
X Japan to Play Lollapalooza Main Stage
X Japan have sold more than 30 million records. They've sold out Japan's 55,000-capacity Tokyo Dome 18 times. Songwriter/drummer/classically-trained pianist Yoshiki composed and performed a piano concerto to help celebrate the Emperor of Japan's 10th year on the throne. Yet you've probably never heard of them. That's all about to change. They will play Lollapalooza's Main Stage and release their first CD domestically this summer.
So how did X Japan get so freaking big? "I have to think by doing it," Yoshiki, who said he loves Kiss, Metallica, Chopin and David Bowie equally, told Noisecreep. "Because we are insane – I don't know. We just don't perform. We put our lives into it."
The band's image -- part anime, part glam rock -- certainly plays into their appeal. Yoshiki said, "When I was 10 years old, I went to see Kiss with my mother. Some part of Kiss might be in our blood. We like Japanese kabuki stuff too! I don't use kabuki, by the way. We have elements from other places. I am a classical pianist, besides being a rock drummer. I still play. I composed a piano concerto with an 80 piece orchestra. I like both, but being in a rock band is more exciting."
Yoshiki said the band may do a headline tour this fall as part of their master plan to conquer the U.S. market. They will pop their US performance cherry at Lollapalooza this August, something that doesn't make them nervous. "The past 10 shows, or even 20 shows were not performed in an under 10,000 capacity venue. At our Tai Pei show, we played to 20,000 people. In Hong Kong, we played to 10,000 people. I don't expect that many people in the U.S. ... yet."
Additionally, Yoshiki has launched the Yoshiki Foundation America, a non-profit, public benefit corporation. The drummer lost his father when he was a teenager and in 2009, he paid an emotional visit to an orphanage in Sichuan, still reeling in its recovery, with so many children still displaced and orphaned. Additionally and as a tribute to Yoshiki's late X Japan band-mate, Hide, who embraced the support of children with bone marrow disease, the Yoshiki Foundation America provides funds to offer assistance through music to children with this debilitating illness.
He donated several pianos and other musical instruments to the schools affected by the Kobe and Sichuan earthquakes, as well as having the children in the local orphanages as his personal guests at local X Japan concerts. The Yoshiki Foundation provides funds in a variety of ways, from the purchase of musical instruments, to providing music lessons, to arranging for a child and his family to attend an opera or rock concert or other music-related event.
He said, "Because I lost my father when I was young, as a teenager, so I am supporting some children who are unfortunate situation and I decided to establish foundation in Japan and America, so children can pursue arts and music. Every time I do an event, I invite children or donated something."
X Japan are coming ... get ready.

The Yoshiki Foundation America Kickoff Party is tomorrow and we’ve received some comments from Yoshiki himself regarding this monumental event, and about the special events happening throughout the night. Read on to find out about some details that are not mentioned in the press release!
What is the highlight of the event?
Yoshiki: We are going to perform something completely unexpected, for the first time.
What do you want to accomplish with this first party?
Yoshiki: I want to expose people in America to Japanese culture. I also want to raise as much money as possible for kids in need.
There are many Japanese sponsors involved such as Sanrio, h.Naoto, pachinko, animation and games, which are very prominent in Japanese sub-pop-culture. What was your concept behind having all of these Japanese companies involved at the first America party?
Yoshiki: I wanted to bring Japan over to America, so I picked companies that would be good examples of Japanese culture.
Can you tell us anything about the video shoot that is scheduled to take place after the party?
Yoshiki: We are shooting the music video in 3D.
Please provide us with a message to the fans that are attending.
Yoshiki: I love you all and appreciate your lasting support.

Действительно, большой клуб! И звук хороший.»

Nothing is impossible!
Прошу простить за назойливость, но это только что опубликовали на JRR...
Nothing is impossible!
Как все мы хорошо помним (надеюсь), Йошики и Сугизо посетили концерт Мияви, который он давал в ЛА в Club Nokia (кстати) в рамках своего Neo Tokyo Samurai Black World Tour... Кстати, интересный репортаж об этом выступлении Live Report Miyaviat Club Nokia
Посетили, зашли за кулисы, встретились с Мивом и даже что-то там вместе спели караоке из репертуара SKIN... Мив остался чрезвычайно доволен этой совместной акцией...
Казалось бы история на этом исчерпалась...
Но нет...
Вчера нахожу вот это...
雅-MIYAVI-が、ニューヨークでYOSHIKI、GACKT、SUGIZOと共に組むS.K.I.Nの結成秘話を披露
Три часа назад это опубликовали китайцы 雅-MIYAVI纽约组成新组合(图
Гугль выдает фразу: совместная пресс-конференция Мива, Йо и Сугизо в Нью-Йорке...
Пресс-релиз: SKINам быть!!!! В ближайшее время ждите возобновления деятельности...
На MusicJapan+ появилась английская версия MIYAVI Revealing a Secret Story on the Formation of S.K.I.N!
За ссылку спасибо ~Ryuik~
Не могу не вывесить эти фото.. Мне очень нравится новый облик Мива...
