X JAPAN Sugizo and Yoshiki @ OTAKON 2010

[amberluiful]

Sugizo makes really nice melody!!! 

[powerpooch]

eh how come ur playlist keeps repeating the smae songs and performances???? heck

[yonieee]

This song is just amazing! The piano & violin version is incredible. Makes my heart tremble... So beautiful...

[bank440]

very classic and melodic ps. when i listen this vedio i feel hungry i want to eat sushi...lol

[Daver869]

I should probably invest in a violin and teach myself violin like I did with guitar.

[stsin0813]

スギゾーはこのためにバイオリン練習したのかな？

[icsweg]

SUGIZO es perfecto... ♪

[candidbreeze95]

@naoise555 I think the problem's with the recording device. It might not be able to capture the full timbre of the instruments, and maybe due to the position this was recorded from too.

[naoise555]

Sugizo should probably not quit his day job to become a concert violinist... a little screachy

[kyotoai]

@naoise555

Yes it's true, @candidbreeze95 explained it well. Recordings often ruin the sound of certain instruments, and vocals. I was there for this, and it wasn't screachy at all.

[ning100781]

@kyotoai Sugizo is a gifted musician! Her mother is playing a cello....



[ning100781]

@ning100781 But I wonder, does he plays really that good in a live concert?

[rungwarangjaroonsang]

ชุดของ sugizo ช่างรุ่งริ่ง ได้ใจจิงๆ นะ  so cool!!!!!!!!

[rungwarangjaroonsang]

ฟังเพลงนี้ เเล้วคิดถึงฮิเดะ นะ  เเต่ยังไง x ทุกๆคนก้อยังต้องก้าวเดินต่อไป

[ampookpiik]

ถึงเราจะเพิ่งเกิดตอนที่ x japan แยกวงตอน 1998 แต่เราชอบวงนี้มากอะ รักป๋าโยมาก รักลุงทุกคนในวงด้วย

เพราะจิงๆ ฟังแล้วซึ้งจัง TT

[buntsng]

HIDE we miss you.

[Nath8924]

Solo tocan un poquito nada más jejeje. Muy bueno ;)

[ning100781]

Beautiful!!!! X JAPAN is totally awesome!!!!!! Classical yet it rocks!!!!!! Just like me!!! I Like the classical music and I REALLY like Rock songs!!

[JusJapanCrazed]

X is just great! This is very beautiful piece of music.. :') heart warming! <3

[VitroBlue]

for being a live recording, this has a great sound!

[ilovesaymai]

แม่จ้าว  โคตรเพราะเลย บ้าไปแล้ว T__T

เสียงไวโอลิน นี่มันบาดจริง

[rojomarado]

Not only he is a very good violinist, he is very stylish, beautiful movement ... I saw the concert two weeks ago, he moves like a great dancer ...

[mimie467]

[yosizawax]

Why you like X JAPAN?

from Japan

[DianaHatakee]

OMFG! THe sounds of the violin makes me cry and cry and cry!!!! OM! the pianooooo!!!

The piano and the violin are my weakness...It's so amazing how a few notes touch the depths of a heart making him sprout tears ~

Thank for this beautful video !! ,^w^, ...

[ning100781]

@DianaHatakee yES!!!! X JAPAN IS SO GOOD!!!!! the piano and violin is like the sun and moon...never can go without each other!!! Excellenet

[PrincessDaydouji]

Perfect.

[oopopp]

Thats the most BADASS violin i have EVER seen!!!

[shun4507]

From Japan, thank you very much for sharing this nice video＾＾.

[BlackSanta31]

Beautiful



[Hibs2006]

This song is one of the best in music history (it gives me chills every time I hear it), X JAPAN is a really good band, their perfection in every note is amazing, I had the pleasure and the fortune to hear them in live, one of the best night of my life.

[konekohidari]

Los voy a ver mañana <3 no lo puedo creer, hace 7 años que espero este momento, no paro de llorar. Estoy emocionadísima, ellos y L'arc fueron mis primeras bandas de Jrock y me acompañaron ya un tercio de mi vida <3

I'm gonna see them tomorrow <3 Ican't believe it, I've been waiting this moment for 7 years, I can't help from crying. It's so moving, they and L'arc were my first Jrock bands and they've been there for 1/3 of my life <3

Love from Buenos Aires ♥

[MagicalPrincessV]

LLORARÉ * -- * QUE HERMOSOOO :: <3 SON LOS MEJORES !!!

[LilitheFurore]

X Japan truly changed my life <3 They played in the Netherlands on July 2th and the feeling I had during that concert and still have can't be described in words. Their music kind of takes everything that ever hurt me and throws it away and heals me. I'm so pissed at myself for knowing about them for such a short time (2-3 years) I'm angry at myself I didn't discover them sooner cause of how they changed me for the better. I love them so much! I want to get an X tattoo so they're with me always!

[MsAmplified]

I have a whole new level of respect and admiration for Sugizo-san after watching this. We Are X always. Brilliant music will never fade away so easily.

[tomboybunny1]

His violin is epic!

[Persiansweetcat1]

it's breath taking... absolutely wunderfull music and performance. Love you Sugizo

[saihikaru123]

They are so amazing, such talent, Yoshiki and Sugizo <333 they can play 2 muisic intrusment and of course compose such epic songs *_*

[Irentily]

I love them all the time!!!!We r X!!!!!

[3632tung]

These are my favorite songs...Forever Love and Endless Rain

I can listen to these song again and again!!!

[YuenYun]

Hide can never be replaced, but as an additional member, Sugizo does X-Japan proud. Combined with Yoshiki? Truly beautiful.

[amaginchan]

@YuenYun I truely love your comment and wholeheartedly agreed with you.

[lynnalino]

I don't get why 3 ppl disliked this ... they don't have eyes or they don't have ears??

[HikariSx]

I WANTTTTTTT!!!!! x(((

[Kikyou34]

beatiful¡¡¡¡¡ kawai¡¡¡¡ sugoi¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ impresionante

[blackrose2186]

Wow...just wow...<3

[sk8hang]

AWESOME

[ciroelcompositor]

good musis I liked!

[Xekyking]

hey look a disco ball

[BossTheYouth]

Come to Thailand pls..

[EternalMelody]

Nice. I gotta go to one of their performances before they retire. I think Sugizo is a good replacement for hide because they both have stage presence. Someone like Pata has the skills but he doesn't have stage presence.

IMO Yoshiki can't be replaced tho. No Yoshiki, no X Japan.

[nelsyeung]

That violin looks mental. amazing song

[zeonebear]

so touched......

[iAnimeAddicted]

I hope Yoshiki and Sugizo do studio acoustic versions of this and many more of there songs. I could listen to that all day!

[Chizurugasm]

Yoshiki is the reason why I started to play the piano again.

[FruitLoopFan]

That's very beautiful..!

Great work, Yoshiki and Sugizo!

[RantsofOtaku]

I know I'm really late, but I was there. X-Japan was my very first concert at Otakon 2010. I didn't know them very well back then, but in retrospect, I'm REALLY glad I had the opportunity to see them. Especially for my first concert. Thank you for uploading this and when I read that you cried, it gave me goosebumps. (As did the ENTIRE song) My group could not stop crying the entire performance. It was so beautiful and moving.

[MyHeartDrawsADream]

@RantsofOtaku It's never too late ;D <3

[RantsofOtaku]

@MyHeartDrawsADream xDD Very true.

[Pinkspiderable]

@RantsofOtaku

XJapan are a new group from the old Xjapan,

all things become new again as did Xjapan,

hide was a great inspiration and a mood setter,

now he is gone and so the tides must change

and let the magic of a new day come forth.

I am just so proud that after such a great tragedy

and loss Yoshiki was able to take all the sadness

and turn it to love and give us more years of

great performances. ♥♥We are X♥♥ ♥♥ RIP Beautiful Hideto Matsumoto (hide-sama)our beloved Pinkspider >..<

[opeth111]

@RantsofOtaku very awesome

[Crystalwolf78]

this is great might get kids into classical instruments again :D a large group of the 5th graders in my son's school play cellos and violins

[MyHeartDrawsADream]

@Crystalwolf78 That's so cool!!!

[DuhuKaralius]

@Crystalwolf78 The earlier you introduce children to classic music the faster they will respect this universal language and try to make the world a better place :>

[VisualCrazy]

Tears in my eyes.

[DoonToob]

I saw X Japan in Sept 2010 in Los Angeles. I must say they are one of the finest Rock bands ever, and put on a performance that could not be matched.

WE ARE...

[XRedRoseforYoshiki]

THANX a lot for creating and sharing this video. Words can't discribe my emotions when I listen to the charming duet of Yoshiki's grand piano and Sugizo's violin...

I love them.

[chantelle5219]

[siwaninja]

una vez alguien me dijo la musica se escucha no con el odio, ni se escucha, sino que realmente se siente en el alma, y esta cancion es prueba de ello, yo soy death metalero de corazon, el metal recorre por mis venas, trash, death, black, , heavy metal son la pasion de mi vida, no se hacer otra cosa que llevar el metal en mi ser, pero, esta bella melodia me ha tocado, será que es la musica que tanto me decian, la que no se escucha con el odio, sino que es la que se siente en el alma?

[debbeko1]

I lived in Japan in the early 90's and purchased "Say Anything" a single on a small mini CD. This music here reminds me of that time. I love the band and especially Yoshiki. He could be arrogant with his success or crazy by now as many stars get, but he acts humble, kind and normal in interviews and I love that. He seems to have a strong character that nothing in life can change. He is amazing. I wish they would come to Hawaii.

[MyHeartDrawsADream]

@debbeko1

Oh wow... X JAPAN in Hawaii would be amazing. I would probably fly there! That's so awesome that you're an old fan! I only heard of them in the US in 1999. It was too late by then of course. So now...it's like a dream come true for me.

[puppye14]

Hopeing and waiting for America to imbrase the new with X-japan and his revolution. Good Luck X ur fans all over are waiting to hear u.

[blankstate10]

also does anyone have the mp3 to the first song?

[MyHeartDrawsADream]

@blankstate10 Forever Love - X JAPAN

Buy the CD =3

[blankstate10]

does anyone know what the first song is call? thanks

[yashun21]

Im new to J-Rock, and X-japan is the first band I knew from that genre. Now this is amazing. That light feeling that makes you float in the air. Aaaaaah. So lovely. It made me feel that they were never in a trash metal band. I am "X".

[PRIESTWORLD]

[crossedfaked]

[soramag]

I used to listen to X Japan when I was a kid in Japan. Endless Rain is the first and only song I can play on piano, I was so crazy about their music as everyone did at that time. Almost 20 years ago, As a my personal opinion this video and the music reminded me the purity of that time I was enjoying.... This one just blew me off. Unbelievably amazing work!! Thank you Yoshiki and Sugizo, X JAPAN. Thank you for posting and sharing. We are "X".

[MyHeartDrawsADream]

@soramag Wow!! I listened to them when I was 9 in America (still do haha)! The purity...yes, I felt that. It brought us all together...

[soramag]

@MyHeartDrawsADream

Thanks again MyHeartDrawsADream, I wish I was in USA.

[carolyncamui]
