Those two founded this band together, regardless of how much control Yoshiki has, that fact cannot be disputed. I love Sugizo, but he has "only" been in the band since 2010, and wasn't around when they were truly making waves. He is also only on 3 studio releases, one of which he is barely audible in. Again, I love the dude, and none of that is a knock to him. He IS a full fledged member of the band that has my admiration and respect as a fan, and I would love for him to finally be featured on a full album. I'd love to hear his guitar and violin be showcased on new songs, and that is up to Yoshiki. However, he is not an equal to Toshi no matter what anyone says. Now for the song, I listened to this new clip just now. Last week, I found one that wasn't as full. It isn't a bad sounding song, but man, after all that hype for ANOTHER announcement. zero info to the album, a "new" song that isn't even an X Japan song, and now all this added controversy. It is, once again, a true disappointment. Especially after I said I wanted to try and be a positive fan. The song sounds like a typical Yoshiki pop ballad without the added magic of Toshi. I also can't really hear Sugizo's violin, which was the one thing I was excited for. I went from thinking the announcement surely being about the album, then thinking since it was a high energy anime we'd get a new studio rock X Japan song, to realizing it is ANOTHER ballad that isn't X Japan, to now learning this series of events actually FRACTURED Toshi and Yoshiki's relationship due to Yoshiki's selfishness. I am sure things will be "fine" for the band continuing, but Toshi is clearly disappointed because of Yoshiki's "betrayal", and that alone makes this whole thing a colossal failure and mess. So, Red Swan is an indisputable disaster. For fuck's sake, Yoshiki.įrom Sasasama: It's really hard for me to understand Yoshiki, like for real. He says these in the first 10 minutes or so but I only wrote down the things I was sure in.
