Signing a deal would also mean signing a contract agreeing to actually turn in an album by a set deadline. Yoshiki hasn't done that in twenty years.
 
 
It's not about just the UK show. A lot of fans are being hostile towards Yoshiki because, regardless of Pata's condition, they've known for months, well before Pata took ill in January, that the album wasn't coming out. The album doesn't even have a title, which means it doesn't have artwork, Yoshiki was still mixing it a few weeks ago, and above all they don't even have a record deal. It was never coming out in March.    No one is saying Pata didn't take ill. But even the official announcement says that he's on the mend, just isn't ready to fly yet per doctors orders. This begs the question, had Pata been able to play the gig, were they really going to do this X Day event and alleged world tour (that they coincidentally hadn't got around to even booking yet) promoting the album without the album being ready? Come on.
 
If Pata is actually seriously ill, why is the show already rescheduled? If he died or was left impaired from his illness, wouldn't they need to cancel the gig again and disband? They're full of shit, and pushed it back a year because they have no album finished and no tour booked. It's the same old song and dance from Yoshiki going back 20 years.

I'm baffled they are not able to get a publishing deal. It makes no sense.

Typical regarding tgat album stuffs, next thing Yoshiki do will be mongering HIDE name again for his own advantage and to sell tickets and merch for whatever X-Japan live tribute and shit. He is so predictable now.
Hoping Pata to get a fast recovery.

I guess Yoshiki needs an excuse to cancel the new album's alleged release date (March 12? Suuuureeeee).
 
Even if Pata is actually sick, Yoshiki has cancelled/missed so many release dates the past fifteen years that it's like the little boy who cried wolf at this point.
 
Sure hope the fans that have booked flights/hotels to England for X Day haven't wasted their money, although I have a feeling they have.

The album was postponed "given the the circumstances," yet in the next sentence admit they don't even have a title for the damn album. Which means they hadn't done the artwork yet. And as I said in the above, they don't even have a record deal.
 
What a bunch of fucking liars. I feel awful for people that have already booked flights and hotels for the gig.

They don't have a record deal/distribution deal. If they did, you'd have seen the details on Amazon, CDJapan, ect and presale stuff months ago. In theory, they could have been planning to released it online-only, but we all know that isn't true. 
 
They've known for months the album wasn't coming out.
 
It's always the same song and dance with Yoshiki. Even if Pata's illness is as bad as they're making it sound, it's a case of the little boy who cried wolf at this point.

It's always the same with them...

Well, damn, I hope the guy gets well and all, but... goddamn, postponing that album AGAIN? At this point they could just as well fucking use session musicians or something..

Arche is the first Dir en Grey album I've loved since Macabre. I think it's their best work. I've always respected them and felt they were head and shoulders above the modern visual scene as artists, but I didn't care for their musical direction. Arche is so incredible though; it's like visual kei from an alternate reality where VK stayed big and relevant and exciting. No offense to those that love the modern scene intended, just my opinion.
 
輪郭 is soul crushingly good.

Haha, nice... they're gonna find out sooner or later anyway.
 
Welcome. (Nearly) 30 yo VK fans stand up!

hello!! welcome to MH and hope you have fun here!!

Feel free to be an old-school Visual Kei elitist snob, I am beginning to share a similar sentiment
Also, high kudos on Kisaki Project. He deserves more love.

Hello fellow visual kei miscreants.
 
Someone linked me to this site a couple years ago; been meaning to stop lurking and join, but you know how it goes.
 
Been a visual kei fan since summer 2000. It's Malice Mizer's fault. They did this to me. 
 
Bands I lurve and continue to fangirl for despite being a grown man: Luna Sea (obv), Zi Kill, Die in Cries, Kagerou, Creature Creature, Kuroyume, Aliene Mariage, Baiser.... all that kinda stuff.
 
But I'm not a totally elitist old school VK snob; I still listen to fucking Baroque and Kisaki Project. Proudly.
 
Other stuff: I'm in and out of goth bands on a regular basis; I spent my late teens and early twenties working as a musician fulltime, and then went back to school when I got tired of babysitting adults/living in a van. I listen to a lot of hairmetal, 90s goth rock, and 80s RnB. I have a dog, but she doesn't really care for visual kei.
 
I've made every single girlfriend I've ever had watch MM's Bara No Konrei movie with me. Trial by fire. You marry me, you marry into this Visual Kei fandom life.
 
Looking forward to getting to know you weirdos.
