I would love to be locked up in one of those cages with one of those girls...It would be the closest i'd ever get to seeing the gods...We are X from the UK!
can anyone please translate, what does toshi say in the beggining?? his voice changes and changes and always in a better way i think... but i agree, if his had had better "accent" in english...ooo, i can't imagine what it would be like: ))))
Actually you could call this song kinda "simple" - but *not* if performed by these guys! Toshis voice and Yoshikis intensity are always outstanding, whatever they perform ...
Already looking forward to the show in Berlin (Columbian Halle, not Roseland Ballroom ... I *love* Yoshikis tour announcement videos :-) )
@psychomunnity88 beatles i dont even like them but what they did speaks for itself o and i forgot they played blue blood in a few concerts recently like the 2008 show
@tobbaddol they re going to have 5 new songs in their album(Iv,Jade,Born to be free,Scarlet love song and one more still unreleased), 5 other songs will be rewritten into english.
@psychomunnity88 Really? Afaik there's really been no mention of how many songs will be on there. But I doubt there will be many more. But still, considering the delays of the album you'd expect to have a few more tracks than earlier. I'm sure Scarlet Love Song wasn't originally intended to be on it.
They are not in their 20s' anymore (so am I...lol), don't expect something like 'I'll kill you' 'blue blood' type of songs from them. I'm happy with their new style. Although I have to admit that Yoshiki try to pull out some 'mainstream' melodies....well I don't care! X JAPAN REUNION AND GRAND US FANS NEW SONGS! That's the most important point of all.
@tobbaddol they changed their music direction going towards more audience friendly songs, not everyone can accept X, silent jealousy or weekend thus I said they re going mainstream.
@psychomunnity88 Heh. Actually I'd say Weekend is the song that has the most in common with Born To Be Free. And it's one of their more poppy songs too imo. I think new X Japan is a bit different, but that's kinda inevitable since it's been 15 years since their last album and the lineup has changed. What I miss the most are the more guitar driven and fast nature of their old songs though. And we haven't gotten the new album yet. Perhaps there are some heavier, faster songs on there. I hope so...
Its sad that x-japan is going mainstream, no more silent jealousy, X, Kurenai or Weekend. Its those song that make me fall in love with X. They re now no different from visual kei bands such as alicenine, dir en gray or gazette.
@psychomunnity88 What do you mean 'going mainstream'? They've been mainstream since the beginning of the 90s. They're one of Japans biggest bands. And they don't sound anything like the bands you mention.
@psychomunnity88 they played silent jealousy, X, Kurenai for every show in north america and gazette will never be as awesome as X as for the others i havent heard enough to judge
All you fans in Europe!! ARE YOU READY?! Promise me, we all jump like CRAZY when they play this song at the tour this spring. I AM SO HAPPY! I can't believe I get to see them live <3 <3 <3 WE ARE X!
@Danieluz You might want to revisit your idea of the band... They have tons of songs with S&M imagery, especially their older stuff. The part of "Psychedelic violence" in their motto used to be "Sexy violence"... so I don't know where you're getting the idea that caged girls has nothing to do with X-Japan. Also, as somebody commented, free is the opposite of being caged, so yeah.
@Danieluz what are you talking about this is probably the best toshi has ever sounded his vocals are way better than last live tokyo dome 1993-1996 album.
@bohemianraphsody I couldn't agree more. I don't think of X Japan with anyone else but Toshi singing... If you think putting an american singer in there would make it better... I don't think so...
@bohemianraphsody They aren't X Japan without Toshi, much like how Queen is not queen without Freddie, if you took toshi or yoshiki away from x-japan they'd be a different band.
@Danieluz mos stupid comment ever you know that if toshi leaves the band cant continue? he is the co-founder of the band and he have a unique voice just see what happened in 1997 thosi quited and x japan disbanded
I would love to be locked up in one of those cages with one of those girls...It would be the closest i'd ever get to seeing the gods...We are X from the UK!

"Just believe in love
Breathe in life
You'll seize the world of difference
You'll cross the line... it's obvious
As if destiny has it's own mind
It's love covers mine with blindness
It's hatred cuts through the skin of shallowness
But I wont run
I will rule"
