I was at VJS and the chance of doing this overseas is ZERO ( too many bands and many would be actually doing domestic tours so finding time away from Japan for so long and involving many bands like VJS did in 2016 is only going to be just empty promise unless he downscale the size and number of bands to a day as VJS were a 3 days festival.

ROFL. A revival? Yeah, good luck with that. X Japan is dead. These guys are all washed up - especially Yoshiki. I can guarantee there's going to be no one at their shows and within a few years they'll be "on hiatus" like with everything Yoshiki does.

I can't wait for them to be ignored and then go on hiatus in a few years!

@@ALeaud but you can’t stop ignoring them lol

@@beatuk54 I can't. The cringe is just too much!

I'm going too! What day did you get?

@@ALeaud Watching Yoshiki being self centered as usual is also a bit saddening. I wanted to hear Hyde talk more tbh. The interviewer really doesn't seem to know much about the vkei scene at all

the interviewer doesnt seem to realize how legendary literally of them are like SHE IS SO NOT WORTHY (i mean none of us are) but she is in the presence of gods

She’s uneducated and ask pretty much the same question over and over

Yeah hyde is the survivor to be rockstar who can keep at the top. Of course he is the legend

The interview doesn't know who hyde is

Kasih paham mas! Ini mbak yang wawancara kayak separo2 aja research-nya, semacam makan gaji buta. Sampe aku matiin di menit kedua 😡😡😡 Keliatan cuma Yoshiki aja yang dia kulik2 padahal Hyde (dengan Laruku) dan Sugizo (dengan Luna Sea) juga legend banget. Dia yang kerja aku yang malu

I was thinking the same thing. Hyde has been touring the US on and off for the last decade solo and with Vamps and had the L’ Arc anniversary tour as well. Miyavi lives in LA with his family and has been working on different projects here in the US in the last decade as well as touring and has even been in Hollywood movies. The breaking america or breaking the world questions were not fully flushes out. Japanese rock avengers for sure.

Males ah nontonnya. Dia cuma ngobrol ama yoshiki aja. Dia jg ga tau hyde, duhh..

I’m so jealous

"Hyde’s Larc-en-Ciel music roots is more 80s British new wave rather than metal." A bit incorrect. Some of, if not his "biggest" influences are metal singers: Morrie (Dead End), Baki (Gastunk) & kyo (Saver Tiger / D'erlanger). Especially his early years, Hyde's imitate Morrie in terms of singing & fashion.

@@jakeslater3246 yes but nothing to do with Xjapan. I don’t like the blindness to make YOSHIKI the only Japanese rocker ever existed.

@@jakeslater3246 Hyde also mentioned in a previous interview on another video by a famous videographer that he was mainly originally influenced by motley Crue. Years later in the L'arc en ciel tribute album, Vince Neil, the lead singer of Motley Crue, covered one of Laruku's most famous songs, blurry eyes, in English as well.

Why bother? These people are all completely irrelevant in Western countries and they always will be.

@@ALeaudI suggest you to do some research, these artists are legendary and they all have millions of fans all over the world, they might not be super famous in all countries yet, but these are all artists who sold millions of records and collaborated with many famous musicians, also from the West.

@@marinacantoni664 "they might not be super famous in all countries yet" ROFL. Yeah, I'm sure so many people will start listening to 50-something aging "rock stars" from Japan in Western countries. I'm SURE this will totally happen.

@@ALeaud why not? What does age have to do with it? First of all, they don't age (even in their looks, they all look great, but that's not the point): their energy and their talent are incredible now, just like when they started. And besides...that's exactly what I started to do in 2021, I started listening to HYDE after discovering him on KZfaq by chance, when he was already in his fifties (and looking amazing and much younger by the way, but this has nothing to do with it). I don't judge artists from their age or their looks but what matters to me is their talent, their creativity and how unique they are and I found all this in HYDE and in these wonderful Japanese artists. I've listened to music all my life and I know when I see talent.

@@marinacantoni664 They look like old aunties lol. Give me a break... they're not getting ANYWHERE outside of Japan. I never said that they weren't talented. They're all talented but they will not be getting popular in the United States. It's not going to happen. Furthermore, "The Last Rockstars" is the lamest name ever. It's ridiculously stupid. Hyde can't even speak English. They will not get popular here. Ever.

I'm agree with your comment. 👍

👍👍👍

Right? They've all been in the biz longer than she's been alive

Agree with you

Totally agree!

BTS' songs are also listenable and they seem "cool" to all the otaku fangirls. Yoshiki and his band are laughable - aging dudes trying to reinvoke the 80s and this band will get nowhere outside of a few hardcore X Japan fans or so.

BTS actually were poor when they started out. They got their first big break because another team dropped out and none of their videos had any english subtitles because their company didn't have the resources and couldn't invest time and money into that unlike other kpop groups' videos. They got famous through KZfaq where they used to upload videos of their practices and backstage/chill videos through a small but dedicated Korean fan base that would translate their Korean into English and that is what helped them gain international fans. Since most of them are from the Korean countryside, there are a lot of innocent "duh" moments and their honesty and straight forwardness made them likable in addition to their talent which was being overlooked in Korea because money. They became famous internationally first. South Korean music scene is so narrowminded, they only realized their talent when they topped the billboard chart and received U.S. recognition. As Hyde has proven in recent years, in this day and age if you have social media presence and show people who you are as a person, they will support you because not only do they like your art but they like who you are as a person. Because of that you can gain more dedicated fans. When I first discovered Hyde, he had very little media presence but since 2019, he started releasing his old and new music videos on YT and started doing lives and his following has doubled on YT and he went from having 0 instagram fan pages to multiple. I think if they play their cards right, they just might achieve their dream. Never say never.

@@Cksncrm "I think if they play their cards right, they just might achieve their dream. Never say never." HAHA. Yeah, no. No one is going to listen to aging Japanese dudes in Western countries. No one. It's not going to happen. Keep dreaming. These guys are lame as hell. Their entire project is pathetic. No one wants to listen to "The Last Rockstars" or whatever cringe fest this is.

@A. Leaud it piqued your interest that's why you clicked on the video😛 You are so negative, you must be an old fart who did not achieve even one of your dreams. Too bad. If you don't take a step towards what you want, you'll never have any chance of achieving it. That way you can die with a sense of peace in that you strived for what you wanted. The rest is up to fate. And that's the philosophy yoshiki used in his japanese interview about why they started the Last Rockstars.

@@ALeaud well, i don't give a damn about Yoshiki and care only about Hyde and Miyavi. It's not like Yoshiki is the only one who has fans here. I bet there are more people who care about others. And it was Hyde's idea to create this band in the first place.

Who is Lyndsey? This color haired girl who is totally unprofessional? If the answer is yes, then congratulations to her for hopefully ruining her carrier

it's a dead dream, Toshi already confirmed that the band has broken up

@@luna-tick5554 Really?? When did he conferm?...Please refer to realiable news sources.

X Japan is finished. It actually finished when hide died but now it's really dead. Yoshiki just keeps trying to reinvent it and relive the memories but it's pointless.

When Hide died, X is already over. Like forever you know. He’s man behind man. The rock soul of the band. Stop talking X. Also Toshi is now hard to handling. He’s the one that may take a responsibility to Hide’s death.

This will never happen

congratulation

@@noreenaulia9977 Congratulations for what? Sorry? 😅

@@DebChan89 for your happines to meet hyde.

You need to chill lol get a life

@@noreenaulia9977 I haven't said this.. My answer here is another. And your answer is nosense here in this context. I don't want to pay a ticket of a band for see THE LAST ROCKSTARS 15-20 minutes, Okay? I wanna a whole concert of THE LAST ROCKSTARS or HYDE solo or or .. Okay? You got it what I meant to say? I wish to see HYDE someday, yes, and Could this be a possibility? Could be.. Just this I said, surely I'd be very Happy to meet HYDE in person. I wouldn't know what to say him yet. But.. my wish is to meet HYDE. But at the moment the very lucky here are Americans Fans, as always. I bought a ticket on veep, if you want to see the concert in L.A. February 10th, it is in worldwide livestream, it's not expensive, but at the moment I just can do in this way to see HYDE's performances. Anyway thanks for the comment. ❤

She'd be right to do so. They're delusional if they think they're going to get everywhere.

@@ALeaud They are delusional indeed. Still its not right to insult them.

I didn't find it insulting. I think overall it was a good interview but most of her questions were for yoshiki, probably because she knows yoshiki more but I would have liked to hear the others opinions especially Sugizo's because he doesn't do many English interviews but the few I have seen he is very philosophical and interesting and Hyde's because from the English subs I have seen he also has a unique perspective and has a witty/funny way of saying and doing things. Let's just say he's quite chaotic himself lol

@@Cksncrm I truly dont like how easily offended people get these days. Im also not fond of any of them as people and have nothing but criticism for this project which in my opinion lacks inspiration and creativity and is just egotistic money grabbing project. Yet she was behaving so badly that even I got annoyed at the constant disrespect directed at them all (yes, Yoshiki included). It was that bad.

Well, you probably could. She's an actual interviewer. You'd likely just kiss ass and tell them how amazing they are and let Yoshiki be delusional (which he is).

Me too, honestly How it gonna be a rockstar’s and successful rockstar’s wife. 🎉🎉🎉

おつかれさまでした。
