Admin8:16 AMZORO No comments

We are unfortunately seeing another band disbanding, and this time it is the duo ZORO – once a four-man band – who announced their disbandment. This probably came to no surprise to those who followed ZORO since their early activities, as not only has there been changes in their line-up, but also major changes in terms of music style.

Ryuuji and Tatsuhi who were struggling to keep the band intact stated on their official website that this decision was made by both of them and that there are no regrets to this decision, they also ended the message by thanking the fans who supported them throughout the seven years and promises to give their all until the end.

ZORO will officially stop their activities after their final live, on May 5th. If you have the chance, make sure to catch them on one of these dates:

YOSHIKI RESPONDS TO FANS' WORRY CONCERNING HIS HAND PROBLEMS

Admin8:08 AMX-JAPAN, Yoshiki No comments

Yesterday, Yoshiki shocked and worried fans with his announcement to push off a necessary hand surgery in order to be able to play at X Japan's upcoming tour. Today, Yoshiki spoke up about this issue on his twitter, and despite fans wishes for him to undergo surgery, he stated that he will in fact push off the surgery, and will "play until it becomes impossible to use the hand". Here's a (not so good) general translation of his tweet:

It looks like even if I undergo this surgery, there's no guarantee my right hand will get better. It may even be the case that I won't be able to use it from that point on. So I've come to the conclusion that I want to continue until it's no longer possible. I'm sorry I made you all worry, but I'll be OK. #WeAreX

While this is certainly not what fans wanted, his confidence on the matter seems to put some fans' minds at ease. We certainly hope everything works out for the best for Yoshiki.
