On stage they were very charismatic, but off stage they are some of the sweetest people I know…… HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THEM!!! (Dir en Grey) [...] When I used to do X Japan's songs…… every time I finished recording….. I hated them….. I always felt that something was missing…… [...] OK, and X Japan…..
I'm like…….Why now? ..... Why, why, why……
To be honest….. it took years to conquer the pain and sadness….. maybe not yet, I still cannot listen to…… or watch X Japan's videos….. without tears…..
" MY OWN GODDAMN BAND" ….. I can't listen to it without crying…… HOW CAN I BE IN IT AGAIN? …… IT HURTS SO MUCH…… TO EVEN TALK ABOUT ...... X JAPAN…..
Yes, I can play the drums. I think I can play them even harder than before…… of course my injured neck and wrists hurt….. but SO WHAT!!! ….. I don't give a fuck about that kind of pain…..
But mentally….. I don't know if I can take it….. I'm not saying if I'll do it or not….. I talked to Toshi (vocalist)……. He called me almost towards the end of last year….. for the first time since we went our separate ways……….
Toshi and I..... we grew up together…........ I don't know ….. I don't know…. I don't …… know …….

Yes, there are lyrics of the song "WITHOUT YOU" ….. That, I wrote, right after Hide's death….. also, I had to do so many takes of piano recording, because of the tears falling down and flooding the piano keys, and my fingers kept slipping again and again.
If there's somebody to sing this song ….. I think it should be Toshi….. but …… I don't know….. I don't know….. I don't fucking know….. It's too painful to……
I'm sorry, I don't want to make you feel depressed or anything like that….. but so many people have been asking me about this, so I had to say something…… just let me….. have…… a little more time……

I love you all.

I had a chance to visit Los Angeles, U.S. for several days recently. I met an old friend of mine at his recording studio during my stay. I visited the studio after 10 years, it was much bigger than before, and to my suprise, its facilities and recording machineries were much more gorgeous. Maybe one of the top quality recording studios ever! I was glad it was just like him.

I heard a song created by my friend at the world best studio. We had a common friend who died almost 10 years ago, and the song came out of the sorrow, heartache and despair from the experience. He said he made it at one sitting a few days after the friend's death.
It was such an authentic ballad of his favorite style, with sad and ephemeral introduction by the piano overlapped with some beautiful melodies of the strings and furthermore temporarily recorded male vocal.
I could not stop crying to hear the song, and I wished from the bottom of my heart that it will reach the whole world.
I sang the song along the piano by my friend. He said he really wanted me to sing it. He showed me its melody playing every single note elaborately and I sang like tracing it. Words became a song with such a unique melody and rhythm of him. He chose the right key for me, saying "It will be just right for you to sing somewhat a tough key rather than a safe and comfortable one."
I tried to sing it all through, and tears welled up again. "One song tells much more than million words." That is what my old friend said with a strained voice.
He also seemed crying through his glasses. It was a moment when both of us deeply touched.
Without many words, one song connected us again.
Maybe, our dear and lost friend did it for us.
Brought up together since childhood for 37 years, we kept on running together anyway. I got tired of dashing for the world market and told him that I would leave 10 years ago. I wanted to sing songs to heal desolate hearts of mine and other people. And I traved all though Japan for these 10 years, directly meeting thousands of children, the old, truly a large number of people and singing for them.
It had been such a decate with heartfelt events, tears and learnings for myself.
Rooted on this precious experience, I would like to sing and send this song of life generated from a sadness for a lost friend for our age.

Our new project is about to start soon, with this "One Song telling more than Million Words".

Aquesta entrada és perquè quan em donen 'bones' noticies aquests homes, només puc pensar en ells i repassar la seva vida, què hi farem. XDDDDDDD el destí~ Joder, no puc escoltar Without You... estic resignada a tot ya, em maten totes les vegades que els escolto, és totalment superior a mi. I MASSA superior, de veritat.
