X-Japan

you dont like them two together? i didnt expect it either i guess... but yea..2007, cant wait to see that...
 
Yeah i don't. Seems to me, like they're only doing it for money. They are both very popular and yeah... everyone would like to see them woking/preforming together. Just like Hyde and Gackt in Moonchild.
 
I love Hyde and Gackt ><

but yea i get what your saying... i mean.. they are probably doing for the money...but maybe htey will be a big hit... we would have to see...
 
Oh man this thread is making me depressed again, I'm so upset over the Yoshiki Gackt thing. I've always held Yoshiki in high esteem but I agree with those who say that this is most likely a money thing which just takes -10 pts from him in my mind. It just makes it look as if he has nothing to give back to musically and is making a desperate grab that's piggy backing off of the popularity of their names.

Its really heart breaking. Oh what would Hide sama say if he knew? ; ~ ;
 
I think out of all the members of X Hide continued to be the most passionate about what he was doing. The fact that he was willing to pack up and try his hand out here in the states was living proof of that. Popularity be damned he had a vision and a passion and he was willing to follow it to the end. I'm not against artists being in things for the money. Heck they SHOULD try and get as much cash as possible. But when they stop loving what it is they do and start worrying about how much MORE they can make and about how popular or well known they are it becomes a bit heart breaking.

I honestly don't think Hide would have liked Gackt or approved of this project. :eek:

I think Yoshiki's lost a lot of that. On one hand he seems just like a little kid in the recording studio he's so happy. And then on he other he goes and chooses Gackt. I dunno, the fact that its Gackt, freakin Gackt is what disheartens me. Anyone else and I would have been wetting my pants to see what would happen but the fact that he's chosen Japan's king of pop makes me so suspicious.

My heart hurts.
 
Oh my, i know what you mean...when they stop loving their passion to do what they love to do and start doing things that just brings them money, and fame... makes me a little sad...

your right, i really dont think hide would have approved of this... even though i like Gackt and all, i dont think hide-sama would have liked him...

i agree with you, Yoshiki (to my understanding) has lost the passion he once had before... and i dont think he could get it back if he keeps this up...

my head hurts too ><
 
Maybe Yoshikis just become disconnected with Japan? He's been living over here for so long . . . its hard to keep your head on straight.

I think Gackt has incredible control over his voice and I know a lot of people consider him to be pretty but I just don't think he's really doing anything innovating musically now a days. The combo seems all wrong.

But because it is Gackt and because it is Yoshiki fans will line up by the droves to see it wither its good or not and defend it to the death even if its really quite bad. I wish more people who call themselves fans could just stand up and say what they feel without thinking that they're being disrespectful.
 
Yea i think that too... Yoshiki might just be diconnected with Japan... because being away from your home for so longcan take a toll on what you think now a days...

to me Gackt is incredible...but thats just my opinion, andyour right... i dont think he is doing anything MOVING to the music.. he is just making music... not making an impact... but i'm still a fan... (my opinion)

we would have to see how everything turns out... there might be a dispute on how these two will be together on 2007 and how their music be... but again, we would have to see and hope everything turns out great!

as for me, i have to go home now... >< be back tomorrow, dont forget me... ><
 
Ah! How could I ever forget you? lol

Yeah I don't hold anything against people who like Gackt. We all have different tastes in music and honestly its pointless to sit and whine. If someone doesn't like an artist they don't have to listen. But I don't want to see that happen with poor Yoshiki! 9____9

But you make a very good point. We really do have to wait and see where it will all go.
 
Gackt and Yoshiki are close friends and have known eachother for a long time and it was Gackt's idea to start a band and I don't believe that they are doing it for the money (as if they need more) but simply because they want to try something fresh and have some fun.

Considering Yoshiki's past and that bad things keep happening to the people he cares about, it's no wonder that he shut himself in and that that has had an impact on his music. He is not a sell out. He is simply doing what he feels is right for him in this moment. The reason why he spends so much time in L.A might be that he feels at home there and at the same time feels close to hide since they spread his ashes in L.A.
 
I don't know if I like the idea neither >.< They're just too different >.< Only, that's my opinion of course XD

We'll see how it turns out, maybe I'll even like it XD

@ Child_prey : Your avatar is pretty!!! *-*
 
Hello Again everyone! didnt forget me yes?

wow... uhm.. oks here is my P.O.V. (point of view)

@hide My Heart: Oh, i make a good point ^^ but Your right... if people dont like the artist they dont have to listen just plain and simple... i'm not comfortable with them two together... but yea...

@Child_prey: you also make a good point.. considering all of the bad things that have been happening to Yoshiki in the past... no wonder he is here in the states... but yea i know that they have been friends for a long time... and yea it was Gackts idea to start the band... they are probably doing this to try something new and get new experiences... there are always two sides to every story...

but like i said before... we cant judge before we've heard them play...
 
Yea your right Child_prey, i may not like the combination, but again... i cannot judge... i have faith in them too... i just dont want things to go wrong between them that could cause a conflict...
 
Reita-kun: Oh you mean that the work can destroy their friendship?
Well, they are both leaders and perfectionists but since they do know eachother they should also know the risks. And if you don't take some risks in life you might end up regretting it and acomplish less then you would want to.
 
Child you make a lot of good points but like I've said before - Yoshiki obviously is very happy with making music. If you read his blog he's almost child like in his enthusiasm about it and it makes my heart warm to see him so happy after so much sadness in his life (I was one of those fans that wrote to him multiple times lol even though I was so young and the letters most likely were illegible). Also I never said he was in America for unscrupulous reasons, I also believe that he likes it here and nothing more. If he were really coming to America to escape pain he picked a hell of a city seeing that there are more Hide ties to LA than any place else. And as for Gackt . . . while I've stated I'm not fond of Gackt I do acknowledge that he has incredible control over his voice, but he's just not doing anything new and I think if he gets in a project with Yoshiki whatever they produce might end up being just a recycled version of whatever you can hear somewhere else. Fun, exciting the first couple of listens. But not the type of music you can listen to in ten years and really still call challenging.

Baisically I want Yoshiki to be at his best. And sometimes thats knowing when to bow out gracefully and not overstay your welcome.

(And saying that Gackt isn't in it for the money makes me highly suspicious. My best friend's girlfriend works directly for the man and the stories she tells say otherwise.)
 
@Child_prey: yea thats what i meant basically.... i just dont want them to hate eachother or anything if something happens... but i dont know... we would have to see... ><

@Hide_My_Heart: Yes, Yoshiki loves making music.. ^^ does every Jrocker have a blog and i never knew about this? yes i was wondering about that... if he would come her to the states to leave his pain behind... why LA... so close to hide here than anywhere else... yea your right...about the whole Gackt/Yoshiki think... might be recycled music for all we know...

To my knowledge Yoshiki will do fine! i know he will... what about Gackt? and your friend? huh?
 
Hide: I do read his blog and I believe that there are people who are simply born to become this person/have this ocupation and Yoshiki is one of them. He could become almost anything he want's but he would always feel like something is missing and that something to him is creating music (even though this is the wrong thread, I believe that Kyo - dir en grey, also is like that, he was born to sing). And about L.A, I have never been there but it seems that rockstars do enjoy that city, there is something there that you won't find anywhere else. Also, we have to remeber that even though we know who Yoshiki-sama is, most non-japanese people dont'. So that can also be a reason for him to stay there, if he wants some privacy.

Gackt, I don't mind, actually kind of like him and I'm not saying that he or Yoshiki don't care about money, ofcourse they do but I don't think that this is why they want to work together, atleast it seems like that when it comes to Yoshiki, how greedy Gackt is I don't know even though he is fond of doing commercials for all kinds of products from vitamins to hairgel.
 
Hrm I never even considered that their friendship might suffer. I don't think so Gackt and Yoshiki have been buds for a while now I think whatever happens they'll keep on keepin on.

Really music is such an intensely personal art that your surroundings deeply influence you so to that extent so does the company you keep. That's the sum up of the Gackt Yoshiki connection in my mind.

@Reita : oh . . . my . . . god . . . I remember when she got the job and we were all like Wow! That's so cool and then the first day she went to work and we were all waiting to see what would happen and she came back all weary and we said : so how'd it go? What did he say? Her : His first words to me were you should feel very lucky to work for me because I'm *GACKT*! And if that was the very beginning then you can imagine what the rest goes like.
 
Whoa O.O Thats.. A weird thing to say =S As first words O.O Well.. no in general.... I didn't know he was that arrogant O.O Or isn't he? >.< XD
 
Well . . . :sick: You like whom you like. Personally I like less complicated people. Hide sama being my ultimate. 😊
 
Yah Hide was awesome XD So crazy XD XD XD But that was just cool about him XD And all his clothes and guitars were *-* *-* *-* *faints* And his skills O.O Aaaaa don't let me start about them O.O *-* *-*
