[OFF-THE-HOOK] The return of X-Japan?

June 4, 2007 by Dennis Amith

Since YOSHIKI’s appearance at Otakon last year, there have been a lot of comments from Yoshiki regarding a band with Gackt (which was confirmed at J-Rock Revolution with the emergence of Skin feat. YOSHIKI, Gackt, Sugizo and Miyavi to perform at Anime Expo) and the other regarding YOSHIKI recording a song with TOSHI (”Without You” – a tribute to hide) and the remaining members of X-Japan reuniting. Some have wondered if a reunion was possible with the death of hide (guitarist of X-Japan) back in 1998. X-JAPAN called it quits back in 1996.
According to Suponichi, YOSHIKI is in talks with X-JAPAN guitarist PATA and X-JAPAN bassist HEATH in reuniting and having ten different guitarists perform Hide’s part for various songs.

Also, with the rumors of YOSHIKI and TOSHI not getting along, that rumor appears to be debunked. The article said that after the recording of the song “Without You”, both discussed reuniting.

Everything is tentative at this point but chances are we may see a post from Yoshiki on his MySpace blog.
