The press conference with Yoshiki took place in Tokyo today and a number of news were annonced.

1. Live in Paris sure
2. count down live on December 31st
3. new releases in future
4. Yoshiki as executive producer for "Rockstar" energy drink in Japan
5. new game "Rockstar 2"
6. Project for 100th birthday of director Akira Kurosawa in 2010

1. First of all something that might be of interest for you all, Yoshiki stated that the concert on November 22nd in Bercy will happen for sure. It will be the first time for a Japanese rock band to play in a hall of that size in Europe!

2. Furthermore there will be an X Japan December 31st count down concert in Tokyo. The place isn't decided yet, though.
X Japan fans living in Japan or will visit Japan around that time can also look forward to a concert at X-mas! He mentioned, that it will be a concert of "X with something". What the 'something' will be is yet speculation, though.

3. Since Yoshiki announced an X Japan world tour, he also mentioned a new release in new future. He also composed a new X Japan song that is much more rock than the others we got to listen before. According to Yoshiki, when they did I.V., the members of X Japan found out that Toshi still can go crazy singing those songs and they decided that it might be appropriate to release something more powerful, as well.

4. Yoshiki is the executive producer for the introduction of the "Rockstar" sports drink in Japan. Rockstar is the sponsor of the U.S. "Rockstar taste of chaos"

5. Further, there are some news, that Yoshiki didn't intend to announce on that day, but he did so anyway:
Soon there will be published a new game called "Rockstar 2" which will also be sold in the United States and Europe. That game will also contain X Japan music!

6. In 2010 Yoshiki will be involved in a project that is happening for the 100th birthday of Akira Kurosawa. The moderator mentioned that it is unusual for japanese rockstar Yoshiki doing something for the japanese director Kurosawa outside Japan. More information isn't announced, yet.

Please note that the news aren't in the order they were announced.
