Possible reunion of X-Japan
According to Toshi's official site, the manager
from X-Japan approached him and they talked about a possible reunion. He appears
to be in contact with Yoshiki and would agree to join them (previous plans
always shattered, because Toshi had no interest). While there are no plans for
an album or new music, there might be a valid chance for a short reunion tour.
This would be a once in the lifetime chance to see X-Japan one again perform
live for the fans. However, there's no official statement from Yoshiki out
there, yet.

n here's the post from toshi's blog.. in english..
I had a chance to visit Los Angeles, U.S. for several days recently.I met an old
friend of mine at his recording studio during my stay.
I visited the
studio after 10 years, it was much bigger than before, and to my suprise, its
facilities and recording machineries were much more gorgeous.Maybe one of the
top quality recording studios ever!I was glad it was just like him.
I
heard a song created by my friend at the world best studio.We had a common
friend who died almost 10 years ago, and the song came out of the sorrow,
heartache and despair from the experience.He said he made it at one sitting a
few days after the friend's death.
It was such an authentic ballad of
his favorite style, with sad and ephemeral introduction by the piano overlapped
with some beautiful melodies of the strings and furthermore temporarily recorded
male vocal.I could not stop crying to hear the song, and I wished from the
bottom of my heart that it will reach the whole world.
I sang the song
along the piano by my friend. He said he really wanted me to sing it. He showed
me its melody playing every single note elaborately and I sang like tracing it.
Words became a song with such a unique melody and rhythm of him.
He
chose the right key for me, saying "It will be just right for you to sing
somewhat a tough key rather than a safe and comfortable one."
I tried to
sing it all through, and tears welled up again.
"One song tells much
more than million words."That is what my old friend said with a strained
voice.He also seemed crying through his glasses.
It was a moment when
both of us deeply touched. Without many words, one song connected us
again.Maybe, our dear and lost friend did it for us.Brought up together since
childhood for 37 years, we kept on running together anyway. I got tired of
dashing for the world market and told him that I would leave 10 years ago.I
wanted to sing songs to heal desolate hearts of mine and other people. And I
traved all though Japan for these 10 years, directly meeting thousands of
children, the old, truly a large number of people and singing for them.It had
been such a decate with heartfelt events, tears and learnings for myself.Rooted
on this precious experience,I would like to sing and send this song of life
generated from a sadness for a lost friend for our age.
Our new project
is about to start soon,with this "One Song telling more than Million Words".
