Morning Masamune: Thank you. ^_^

Nan Desu Ka: Woah... It's S.K.I.N. They're logo's okay I guess, I'm not really picky with the logos. As long as they have a name, it's fine with me...
 
Gaxnela Oh gods what a fait awaits Hyde!! I feel sorry for him... and possibly more so for his mother... imploding pregnancy!!!

Morning MasamuneTechnically Gackt's age is also unconfirmed... although his birth year is pretty much established at 73.
 
About the bassist: I hope they find one suitable. Otherwise i think they'll just stick to having guest/supporting bassists.
I hope they come to the UK! D:
 
CharismaticDeath: YES. This phenomenon will defy all laws of Science!!!

kogetsu: Yeah... I think they should get a permanent bassist... I wonder who it would be...
 
Gaxnela: I originally though Heath would be a good idea as a bassist but then again X Japan are coming back anyway. Hmm..Taiji could fill in the spot. XD It'd be a good idea considering he was in Loudness as well as X Japan.
 
kogetsu: Yeah, but that doesn't end there. For all we know, it could be someone we never knew about or the last person we could think about. Also, I saw somewhere that Gackt can play bass but we don't know if he's rusty or not considering he's been only singing (I think...)...
 
hey guys..im new in 'ere..

i always heard people mention about the fight between Gackt & Miyavi..
:?:?:?

can any of u tell me, actually, wat was that all about:?
 
mayreez: I'm not sure about the fight, but I think they had a verbal disagreement when they first met... according to somewhere in the internet.
 
does anyone know the tour stops my sister is willing to drive me and her daughter to one of the concerts
 
SaphireKONKON: Yeah... I want to know too...


Since S.K.I.N. will be performing in America first, does it mean that they're really targeting the world market in general... as in not only their previous fans but also people who have never heard the word jrock or something??? They might just make it... but we don't know if they can before they disband or something...
 
gaaxnela--> i think you're right... jrock is invading the world, as yoshiki has written in his master plan (ie. living in LA and jrev and i'm sure he had *some*thing to do with the US diru tour)... i think maybe SKIN will do for the US what X did to japan? something to gather ALL the jrock fans (in his mind... in real life probably no) into supporting one band and then hopefully gathering a larger world-wide audience (cuz america... erm... tends to infect things >_>)... i mean, i'm actually in tokyo right now (BE JEALOUS) and i had dinner with a family friend who likes gackt and she didn't even know the supergroup was happening... true she may not be the BIGGEST FAN EVER but if yoshiki wanted to focus on japanese fans, they sure as hell would know it. sorry this wasn't very comprehensive X_X i'm dead right now...
 
dakkii I agree. J-rock is even getting known over here... not only do wel sell Diru, MUCC and Despairs Ray in HMV now... but the Diru and MUCC secitons are regularly sold out at the HMV near me. This is quite shocking for England... especially somewhere as random as Lincoln... I thought I was the only person obsessed with J-rock (bar my friends) who lived there... but apparently not!!
Also I'm very jealous of you're being in Tokyo. :( I wants to goooo!!! So far not allowed... my dad claims its too expensive once you get there... the flight is no problem... we have enough airmiles within our family to rule the world... but the problem comes after that... espeically if I get in shops that sell J-rock stuff!! ^_^
I've been telling people in asia about the super band too... odd that us westerners seem to be getting the news first huh?!
 
Yeah, Jrock really does have a chance now of being an international success. Essentially X Japan was a band in Japan, targeting Japan whereas now they're more based in LA. é›…-miyavi- has started to tour the USA and will be going to Europe, as has Dir en grey independantly, and touring with such big bands like Flyleaf, KoRn and Fair to midland. Also the pillows and Puffy Ami Yumi (if you could call them rock. Theres certainally alot of rock influence there) seem to be more America-based. Oh and theres a popular Japanese band playing during the WARPED tour, but I forget their name.

I'm going into detail abit too much...XD

CharismaticDeath: Oh, we don't have MUCC or D'espairsRay albums over here in NI yet. But we do have one of Dir en greys DVD's in HMV.
 
kogetsu Its a start... I remember not too long ago when we have none... all it seems to take is the band actually coming to the country. Well to play a main gig... BLOOD came to an anime con, but I don't think it had the same impact as then Despairs Ray played here. It seems kinda crazy though, becuase *technically* (not wishing to assert political opinions on this one!) we are the same country!!
 
Yeah. @_@ I didn't really think anything of that BLOOD performance as I didn't like their music that much. The only Asian band I can think of to tour the UK as a whole is Electric Eel Shock (who Also went down to Dublin!). I'm surprised bands the likes of the pillows, Puffy, L'arc~en~ciel and even Gackt solo haven't came over here to do full tours. Anime has played a big part in their international awareness.
 
dakkii: I'm jealous. Although your friend is a Gackt fan, we can't really blame her because S.K.I.N. actually announced that they are a band in America... Yeah so I guess they are really trying to draw in international fans.

CharismaticDeath: I'm also jealous of you... the airmiles... Well... I'm not a westerner... but I guess I'm one of the first people to know here...

kogetsu: Yes. In ten years, Jrock will rule the world, and we can be the proud fans from the beginning (WE'RE FIRST!!!). there's a japanese band in warped... woah... and it's okay. WE LOVE DETAILS.

You guys are lucky there's HMV in your countries!!! The HMV nearest here is in Hong Kong!!!
 
what's HMV *feels STOOPID*? O_o

but we've known that there would be a superband for a while... they should have at least known it existed!

and true dat! WE ARE THE ORIGINALS, BABY!!!
