On a completely different note

The X Japan gig last night was phenomenol. I got such a good view of Sugizo the whole time, and saw Toshi and Yoshiki quite close too. The set list was pretty short but they did play a few songs I really like. Yoshiki. That man. His charisma. O_O Sugizo on the violin, fuckfuckfuck. And his outfits, goddamn, why can't I be a skinny Japanese rockstar? Toshi's voice is as good as ever. And I want his shiny gloves! And pat Yoshiki on the head because he started crying as soon as he mentioned hide. And give him some PG-FUCKING-TIPS. XD (His English is definitely better than Toshi's.)

Set list:
1. Jade (new single) (love it btw)
2. Rusty Nail
3. Silent Jealousy
4. Drain
5. Kurenai
6. Born to be Free
7. I.V.
8. X
9. Endless Rain
10. Art of Life

With Sugizo's violin solos and Yoshiki's piano and drum solos in the middle. At the very end they had Forever Love playing in the background as they mucked about taking photos of the audience and then did their bows. Lots of clips on youtube already.
