Yoshiki

[Riyko]

Umm i found out he actually has a myspace

Violet UK | Listen and Stream Free Music, Albums, New Releases, Photos, Videos
Yoshiki | Listen and Stream Free Music, Albums, New Releases, Photos, Videos

He gets like thousands of comments everyday ☝

Yoshiki actually runs both of those myspace accounts. So he does visit them and it's a way for him to keep in contact with his fans. After hide's death he hasn't been the same

Yoshiki lives and spends if not all then most of his time at his home in L.A. where he does most if not all of his musical recordings.

so...I've read on the web than Yoshiki have a project with Gackt...They want to form a band....Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!The 2 men of my life togetheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!!!!That's a dream!!!!!

 

[Akato]

It's so cool. They are my favourite musicians
Why did it took them so long to do it(does that sentence make sense )???

Yoshiki is such a chatterbox It was supposed to be a secret. Hopefully Gackt isn't angry and cancels the plans ☝

 

[Anchyyy]

Gackt and Yoshiki making a project? ☝ That would be like a dream come true

 

[JoRuDeNnA]

Well that would be r4eally nice, Yoshiki san and Gackt san working together!!!

I read on Yoshiki's blog on myspace that he's working on this song called Blue Butterfly, and that it will be the soundtrack of a hollywood movie!!

"The song is called Blue Butterfly. It's about human's basic nature."

That's what he wrote on his entry

 

[Lady Blue]

Yes, i read that too. But dont be so surprised about Gackt and Yoshiki working together. hadn't they done it before? With.. leeca or I don't remember what song from gackt?


By the way, be ready to receive Violet UK. He plans to release it this year... Hope he can make it withou dieing...

 

[Anchyyy]

It was Leeca yes Beautiful song!
Voilet UK! This year? Hope that he won't change his mind about releasing it... again

 

[Lady Blue]

Let's hope not! But be patient... it has only taken him 10 years to decide the release date...
I heard a couple of demos and they sound great. Definetly it will worth the waiting and the darkness he kept us into for such long time. NIcole's voice is really good too. I'm looking forward for VUK. I think he'll prove his dissappearance has not been in vain.

 

[Anchyyy]

Only 10 years And yeah i've heard the demos too! They are awesome! Can't wait to hear the full album! The long waiting is going to be repayed with some beautiful music

 

[wandering.legy]

Umm....does anyone here still have Yoshiki/his label's phone number? If so, can i have it? ^^

 

[Kagura]

why is this thread dead? Yoshiki should be shown more love!!

 

[Broken Rose Ren]

^ I know! Yoshiki deserves mass love. He is the godfather of Jrock after all.

 

[Kagura]

Yepyep ^^, he's a rock GOD, if even Paris Hilton knows him, he's gotta be damn good at what he does

 

[Broken Rose Ren]

Wait, Paris Hilton knows him? Eww...

 

[SaKeVi]

^ I know! Yoshiki deserves mass love. He is the godfather of Jrock after all.

Hmmm... He IS the father of marketing in Japan, if he weren't such a comercial guy, he would be right now asking for money in Japan streets.

I used to admire him, but then I had my 10th birthday and noticed he sucks so terrible. His music is very simple, mellow and repetitive, but hey, he knows how to sell it to mass media, after all he is "kawaii" ne???

For a world without overrated artist!!!

 

[Kagura]

Broken Rose Ren: I know, I was suprised to find that out, I found this video on youtube where they show clips of him in Bullrun from 2004, and they show this clip of him hugging PH, I nearly died 'cuz for once I was actually jealous of her ><

SaKevi: Why do you hate hide and Yoshiki so much? I know they can't please EVERYONE but there's gotta be at least one song you like by him, right?

 

[Broken Rose Ren]

^ I must say, I'm jealous of her as well. Damn, I want to hug Yoshiki.

@SaKeVi: I see your point. I like Yoshiki because without him, without X Japan, I don't think jrock would have been so developed like it is today. Not to mention, X basically revolutionized the whole visual stylings.

I feel the same about hide, not to mention he was a kick *** guitarist and he was as cute as high heaven.

So I see you've decided to come back and cause problems by getting people to want to argue with you *sighs* people never learn.

Guys if you reply to him it'll just be fueling him to post more stuff and he'll try to piss you off, just to let you guys know that.

To sakevi for your information yoshiki doesn't live in japan anymore he lives in the United States and is fairing very well money wise, he still manages a band and writes music, so before you speak please at least have a clue about what your talking about

 

[Kagura]

thank you ^^

 

[Riyko]

Your welcome ^_^

 

[SaKeVi]

Let's go by parts, as a butcher said:

SaKevi: Why do you hate hide and Yoshiki so much? I know they can't please EVERYONE but there's gotta be at least one song you like by him, right?

Hmmm you made me think (*background claps*)

I'm not a hater, I just said what I think about him as a musician: he is just not as good as all of you think, or probably I'm just better than him playing drums and piano, I don't know.

Of course I like X and hide songs, my favorite band from Japan is X, I enjoy listening songs as Art of life, Lady in tears, the last song and Good bye... but just because I like X a lot it doesn't mean I won't criticize them, and there are lots of things to criticize about them.

@SaKeVi: I see your point. I like Yoshiki because without him, without X Japan, I don't think jrock would have been so developed like it is today. Not to mention, X basically revolutionized the whole visual stylings.

Yes... and no ^^

Yoshiki made a huuuuuge contribution to put rock into the mass media, thanks to him rock bands kicked out pop singers from the music monopoly in Japan in 80's... he was in the right place at the right moment to burst rock to a higher level.

Curiously, the band that made a revolution on Visual scene was Saver Tiger, they made Visual perfect, we can say that they made a "before & after" into Visual scene, thanks to hide.

X just put in into mainstream... thanks to who?? of course, Mr. Marketing: Yoshiki Hayashi.

So I see you've decided to come back and cause problems by getting people to want to argue with you *sighs* people never learn.

Problems?? what kind of problems??

Are you upset just because I don't have the same point of view as all of you?? Are you upset because I'm not stick with all of the japanese music fans opinion?? are yuo upset because I don't behave like a fanboy/fangirl??

Guys if you reply to him it'll just be fueling him to post more stuff and he'll try to piss you off, just to let you guys know that.

If you reply me, we can learn from each other, that's the MAIN PURPOSE OF A DISCUSSION FORUM if you want everybody to think just as you do, there are thousands of fanpages where you can discuss how kawaii a singer is.

To sakevi for your information yoshiki doesn't live in japan anymore he lives in the United States and is fairing very well money wise, he still manages a band and writes music, so before you speak please at least have a clue about what your talking about

And he is still living with all the money he made with X, it doesn't matter where he lives now, he is making money thanks to "Yoshiki co."

I'll quote myself again:

Hmmm... He IS the father of marketing in Japan, if he weren't such a comercial guy, he would be right now asking for money in Japan streets.

Isn't he the one who sold X condoms?? X wine?? millions of singles?? dolls?? cards?? pics?? posters?? CD's?? clothes?? U.F.O. catchers?? drumsticks?? bleh bleh bleh... not even a DAMN YOSHIKI BARBIE to make money money money?? Isn't he the one who made rock/metal a marketing business in Japan?? Isn't he the one who sold his band image as a "Visual Shock"???

Don't you think all this (and even more) makes him the father of marketing in Japan?? After Yoshiki and his business spirit appeared, japanese music flied to the sky.

If he weren't capable of selling his product (X) do you think he would be famous now??

What the hell does it matter if he lives in L.A. right now?? He is still the guy who transformed the music into marketing in Japan, isn't he?? Maybe you should understand things better before posting girl

And go and make yourself a tea for the nerves, I'll be here posting my opinions, I respect this forum rules, I give my opinion, you should be more tolerant

 

[Kagura]

....wow, and here I was thinking you were one of those people that just says stuff to be stupid ><. Although I do believe alot of the things you said, I guess I'm still gonna believe in Yoshiki and hide like I used to 'cuz I'm used to it.

 

[Broken Rose Ren]

Wow...I get what your saying. But, then can't the same be said about all anime creators, manga - ka, jpop/rock artist?

I'm sure, Yoshiki has advisors, do you think that maybe those ideas weren't necessarly his? You don't know right? Well, neither do we. We can only judge Yoshiki from what we know about and that's his music.

What I said goes for hide as well. In the music industry, when you branch out more into the world as an artist, people begin to have visions for you (I mean he was working with musicians from all over the world). Maybe hide's work wasn't the same as it was when he started out, but the fact is he made music that made people happy and damn good songs at that. Damn his "people". That is what, we can judge hide from.

 

[Kagura]

I totally agree, he had to have done something right 'cuz in my opinion, Japanese rock has never really gotten the attention it deserves. So that fact that hide has worked with a lot of people from around the world is a great accomplishment, at least I think so

 

[SaKeVi]

....wow, and here I was thinking you were one of those people that just says stuff to be stupid ><. Although I do believe alot of the things you said, I guess I'm still gonna believe in Yoshiki and hide like I used to 'cuz I'm used to it.

That's cool, I'm not trying to make you change your mind, I'm just trying to give my point of view

I'm always attacked because I have this opinions even when I'm a huge japanese music fan, probably everybody expect me to think as all they do, but I often disagree with fans all over the world

Wow...I get what your saying. But, then can't the same be said about all anime creators, manga - ka, jpop/rock artist?

Of course, it depends of the person =P

I'm sure, Yoshiki has advisors, do you think that maybe those ideas weren't necessarly his? You don't know right? Well, neither do we. We can only judge Yoshiki from what we know about and that's his music.

Since he was at indies, he always had those ideas in his mind, that's why I see him more like a business executive than a musician... and as in all business, he has advisors, but in the end, he had the last word to make things happen.

Also, I'm not ashamed to say that I began playing drums thanks to him, when my brother showed me X shows when I was a little kid, I was always impressed to see him... but as i said, the dream was over when I learned to play drums and realized that all he had was energy.

What I said goes for hide as well. In the music industry, when you branch out more into the world as an artist, people begin to have visions for you (I mean he was working with musicians from all over the world). Maybe hide's work wasn't the same as it was when he started out, but the fact is he made music that made people happy and damn good songs at that. Damn his "people". That is what, we can judge hide from.

In the end, his legacy was big, that's something I don't deny... But I'm stick with my position: I knew him when he began, when his career went up, and then when he died, and I will always prefer his origins in Saver Tiger and his beginning with X.
