I wanna know somebody that knew X or someone from X themselves.
Hisashi Takai (Jun, guitarrist in 1986) teaches how to play guitar in Japan, but I don't know how comfortable he would be talking about his days on the band...

What's the use of those videos' existence if nobody can watch them
except you and your friend?
I mean, if I had all those videos I would feel very bad if I didn't share them.
Many people love x and because of Yoshiki not releasing anything good,
those videos you have would make many people happy.
I know, those videos would make people happy, but WILL make ex-members and close friends of the band get angry, as they asked not to share those videos... as someone said correctly, some of the videos are private, and definitely NOT anyone must have them, why?? well...

And how do you think you would get a good trade?
It's not like x has a trading community online right?!
Why don't you start an x-trading website?
There was a X-Japan trading community on WinMx, but since it is offline, many guys are spread around the world trying to find good trades that were easily done in there...
And many people hated us, because we didn't share those videos, and there was a reason: as I explained you, most of them were private videos, and sometimes they ended with people who didn't know even about X, and the "value" of those videos became 0%.
I know, I sound like an assh0le, but when you finally are on our position, you could understand why we are like this. We are not looking for a status, the bands give us it when they choose just some people to have stuff that not anybody could have... probably it is a priviledge for being a friend of the band (or band members)
If you're upset with this, you will have a heart attack when you find out how much stuff I have from japanese bands: I used to write on magazines and fanzines, figure out the rest of the story.
And finally, don't worry about not having some videos, 4 years ago nobody thought they could ever seen the 1986.10.25 video, it is like a chain reaction, probably in 5-10 years everybody will have some of the videos I own right now, but I would have more "new" stuff from X that you don't

Many people in the world are poor and starving. Why?
Because the rest of the world doesn't know how to share.
Tough example... but sometimes a big part of the "rest of the world" don't appreciate what is given to them ☝

I just hope this guy changes his mind.
In the way things are going now, we will never see those
concerts officially released on dvd.
I won't, unless my friends tell me to share them... you know why?? because they were very kind to share those stuff with me, and if they ask me not to share them, I must respect their will.
It's like a secret, if a friend ask you not to say it, would you be saying it everywhere??
And definitely no, those videos will never be released on DVD, they are just for "internal and comercial use" only.

And I think he gets really sad when watching the old videos.
In fact, he thinks they're funny, it's like watching an old family album, when you ask yourself "why did I have that haircut?" "those clothes are horrible".
Well, I'll see you later!
