And Sakevi: It sounds like you know Yoshiki in person.
If you do, I think you should try to talk to him about this!
And I've gotta ask you: You've seen X live right?
That's something all of you will never know

And it does feel like Yoshiki has lost himself along the way. But I can't know
that cause I don't know him...
He changed a lot, for bad (to me) and I'll explain that, hehehe.

X Japan about Yoshiki's fame and fortune? X Japan was Yoshiki's life- and not because it earned him a nice fat paycheck.
X Japan is about Yoshiki's ambition, and he got a veeeeery fat paycheck for it (and he still gets more and more paychecks...)

And please explain how Yoshiki is going to produce poppy-mellow-girly-softy-rockwannabe-metrosexual-marketing-IsellThisBecauseI'mFamous stuff. Because I personally don't understand that. I think that Gackt and Yoshiki are going to produce amazing music together because they are two of the most amazing artists that I've ever seen. Now whether they are going to get along or not is another question. They both have such demanding personalities... I don't want to be in the room if they ever disagree on something.... O_O
They will, you'll see that, there are many reasons to say that since they agreed to produce music together. And wait, I'll explain it too as soon as I finish all the quotes.

And yes, Yoshiki does market a lot of ...stuff. o.o But why is that bad? He's not denouncing the music, he's just selling an odd variety of products that are connected to the band. People buy it, so Yoshiki sells it. That doesn't do any harm, does it?
You could find my answer on my post, wait!! =P

I don't mean to rant or anything, so don't hurt me. I just think Yoshiki deserves a little more credit for being the brilliant person that he is.
Hey, you're giving your opinion, and it's valid as every opinion here, don't worry to be hurt
And yeah, he has a lot of credit for what he has done to Japanese music & industry, that's something we can't deny.
@Anchyyy: Thanks a lot girl!!! I like your post
NOW:
Why I'm criticizing Yoshiki so much?? Why I want to smash his head?? why I'm saying his project with Gackt will be fangirly??
Well, as we all know, Yoshiki became a producer, and there's nothing wrong with it, he can make with his life whatever he wants, but hey, he has dissapointed many people by being hypocritical...
How's that?? What is this SaKeVi saying??
There is a fact that probably you still don't know: in the 80's the poppy/mellow pre-fabricated music artist were dominating Japan, and from Chiba an androgyn person wanted to change that... we all know who he is. So, he and his friends ****** up the music scene, turning it upside down with an excellent propose, awesome music with a good performance on stage.
He was there to expand music industry in Japan, to remove the monopoly of ****** artist and idols, to bring quality to music and he did: his mission was accomplished. Then, he took part of the mainstream and somehow, he still was keeping that "feeling".
And as I said, suddenly he changed his mind, he became what he hated, what he fought in 80's, what he criticized for many years, he became one of them... why?? that's bullsh*t.
Well, right now he still hasn't produced any stuff with quality, his objective is another: make money with "just enough" efford, as we have seen. His priorities are different, he is not there to produce good music, he has to sell no matter what it takes, even f*cking up the good name and fame his band created years ago (do you remember the st00pid "Trance X" CD?? the ridiculous say anything cover by Globe??)
He knows that his image will sell anything, and that's why he knows that making and producing "so so" music, he will receive his paycheck, and he knows that being related with another "image seller" as Gackt, they will sell instantly whatever they offer, just as the condoms we talked on hide's threat.
Unfortunately he isn't even the half of men/girl he used to be, and because of that many people lost their hope on expecting good music, the good music that he and his band members created with X, just before he took control of everything, even the band member's life (Taiji first and then toshi..)
There are many things to say about this, but I'm tired right now, I'll be back later people!!
