Angela Aki – KNOCKIN’ ON HEAVEN’S DOOR Preview

A 45sec preview of Angela Aki’s KNOCKIN’ ON HEAVEN’S DOOR:

L’Arc~en~Ciel – Jiyuu e no shoutai ~Acoustic Cover~

I know you miss L’Arc but don’t cry, here is a other cover by a Chilean band named ~eiEn~

They cover a lot of L’Arc songs but I think this one is the most original.

L’Arc~en~Ciel – Jiyuu e no shoutai ~Acoustic Version~:

They not only covered L’Arc songs but they also create their own songs.

Don’t request the guitar’s tab I don’t have it ^^

Creature Creature is not dead!

According to the interview we can expect to a new album next year:

“ Jpopexpress.com: What can fans expect from Creature Creature in the near future?

Morrie: A tour and a new album release. “

But there is still a interrogation mark about tetsu’s (L’Arc~en~Ciel) participation…and also about the Album’s release date.

YUI – MY SHORT STORIES #7 in the WORLD Charts

Yoshiki apologize for concerts postponement

Yoshiki just posted a new blog in French on his MySpace.

“Mes excuces.

Je vous présente toutes mes excuses. Je suis vraiment désolé….
Je ne sais pas comment décrire mes sentiments envers nos fans, vous qui vous êtiez réjouis à l’idée de voir les concerts de X Japan à Paris et au japon.
Même si la decision n’était pas la mienne… J’en prends pleine responsabilité…
Et je ne le prends pas à la légère.
J’en ai encore le coeur serré. Je ne supporte pas la douleur d’àvoir brisé le coeur de nos très très cher fans, vous qui m’avez tant soutenus toutes ces années.
J’avais vraiment hâte de faire ces concerts mais notre companie de production a beaucoup de problèmes à resoudre avant que nous puissions recommencer notre tournée.
J’étais prêt à partir en tournée dans n’importe quelles conditions. Si nous avions pu être là, nous vous aurions offer le meilleur spectacle.
Parfois je déteste tout…Je déteste la vie…Je me déteste aussi…
Haissez  moi…. Haissez  moi encore…Mais je vous aime toujours.
Je me demande parfois si j’aurais du rouvrir cette porte qui s’appelle “X Japan”. Mais en meme temps, je ne sais pas non plus comment la fermer.

Avec Amour,

YOSHIKI“

English

“My apologies

I would like to apologize. I am really sorry.
I don’t really know how I should explain my feelings towards the fans who has been looking forward to the X Japan concerts in Paris and Japan.
Even though I didn’t make the decision, I take the whole responsibility.
This isn’t something unimportant; no, I still take it with a heavy heart [not quite sure how to word this xD]
I really don’t want to see this pain our loyal fans had to experience, you who have been supporting us all these years.
We are now working fast with new concerts, but the production company have many problems they have to solve before we can start a new tourCUSS
It is important that we meet all the expectations for a good tour [not sure about this]. If we could be there, we would give you the best show[/spectacle 8D]
Sometimes I hate everything… I hate life… I hate myself too..
Hate me… Keep hating me.. But I will always love you.
Sometimes I wonder if I can open door with the name X Japan again, but at the same time I don’t know how to lock it either.

With love,
YOSHIKI”

My Apologies

この気持ちをどうやって表現すればいいんだろう、パリや日本で行われるはずだったXJAPANのコンサートを楽しみにしていた人達に対して．．．．．．。

その決断は、自分のコントロールを超えた所で下された．．．．．．でも、全責任を負うつもりです．．．．．．。そして、その事を決して軽い気持ちで受け止めてはいない。

その痛みは今でも心を突き刺しているし、何年も自分たちの事を応援してきてくれているファンの人達の心を傷つけたと思うと、いてもたってもいられない。

自分としてはそのコンサートをもの凄く楽しみにしていたんだけど、ツアーに出る前にマネージメントとして解決しなければいけない問題があって．．．．．．それらの事を無視してでもコンサートをやるつもりだった。そして、それでもいいコンサートをやる自信はあった．．．．．．。

Sometimes I hate everything……I hate life……I hate myself too…….
Hate me…..Hate me to death…..but I still love you.

XJAPANという名のドアを開けるべきだったのか・・・・・・今でも解からない。
でも同時にそのドアをどうやって閉めればいいのか、それさえも解からない。

LOVE

YOSHIKI
