[JAPAN] X Japan announces that they will perform at Madison Square Garden, NYC
April 3, 2008 by Dennis Amith
Japantoday.com reported, “Popular rock band X JAPAN on Thursday said they will perform live at Madison Square Garden in New York on Sept 13, following a Paris gig on July 5. At a press conference, drummer/pianist YOSHIKI said, “When I saw a reunion concert by KISS in 1996, I wanted to do the same thing. I would like sing for my fans abroad. I also wish to have concerts in Asia, Europe and Latin America like the ones we did at Tokyo Dome.”
“YOSHIKI also said the band may have to take on a new guitarist for some new songs.”
NOTE FROM J!-ENT: Originally JapanToday.com had posted YOSHIKI was the singer, the article has been updated.
I really hope they come to Canada, although I guess I could do the seven hour road trip and go to NY.
Yoshiki is X Japan’s leader, drummer, pianist, main lyricist and composer, but he ISN’T there vocal. That’s Toshi.
Please correct your faulty information in the news flash.
