Amplified: X-Japan (extended)

From Lollapalooza '10, the beginning of a recent string of U.S. performances for X-Japan, the visual kei band from... Japan. Among the extras in this piece are Yoshiki's thoughts on using a hologram of deceased band member Hide, the band's influences and why he thinks they can make it in America where past efforts have not been successful.

I love these guys. that Hide hologram thing was freaky. I understand why h got so emotional. X Japan = SUGOI!!!

I can however see X-Japan actually making it in Europe. Metal is still big and many aspect in Europe, and I think X-Japan's music have more qualities that European fans might get into. But if Yoshiki want to challenge himself, more power to him.
