X Japan to perform 3 shows at Makuhari Messe this September

YOSHIKI announced three dates for a new tour X Japan Live in Japan 2018 Three Deep Red Nights at Makuhari Messe with ticket pre-sales for the September 28—30. Standing room tickets and VIP seats were so intense that it made headlines as fans in Japan and worldwide scrambled for the chance to see them perform. The last time the band held a live event of this scale in their home country was their massive, two-day soccer stadium tour in 2010, playing for 130,000 fans at Nissan Stadium in Japan.

Yoshiki comments:

“I had a lot of personal conflicts, both mentally and physically after surgery, and I wasn’t sure about these shows until the very last minute. But I think we should try to move forward. We’ll decide the future of the band based on these concerts.”

Purple Stone’s “Tonde Hi ni Iru Koisuru Natsu no Mushi” clip ignites fiery passion

The wait for new Purple Stone content is not too long ahead! On August 22, the visual kei trio will release a new single titled Tonde Hi ni Iru Koisuru Natsu no Mushi (飛んで火にいる恋する夏の虫). The single will drop in three different versions, each packing two songs. What makes each type unique is that, following the title track, type A will come with an instrumental version of the song, while types B and C have different follow-up songs. To hype up fans, Purple Stone have uploaded a music video trailer to give us a look at what they’re up to with this release.

The video displays simple yet appealing visuals in which the band members and supporting dancers are confined in individual boxes accompanied by fiery graphics. Vocalist Keiya also shows off some dance moves, keeping up the dancing tradition that Purple Stone has adopted in their previous releases. You can view the group having fun performing in the video below!

We also have the band’s new look and individual photos for you to view below.
