X-Japan Tickets

simple statement....... BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE.......

It was awesome show that I have been waiting to see before die!!!!!!! First of all, thank God for their re-united and it was a amazing moment because to see X Japan's concert was almost impossible at US, unless went to Japan. Thank you X Japan for touring at US and I hope they should have another tour at US again near soon as called "Encore tour"!!!!!!!!!!!! Really thank all of people who made this happened

This has been a life long goal/dream for me. I never imagined I'd get the chance to see them live. I'm only 22 years old, about the same time they have been a complete band lol. But I fell in love with their music at the age of 14! It goes to show people that X Japan can touch the hearts of many people all around the world. I myself am not Japanese, I'm Hispanic! But X Japan live was amazing total BLISS!!! BEST SHOW I'VE EVER BEEN TO!!!

X Japan was amazing, absolutely loved them. Their performance was awesome especially the violin solo by Sugizo :D

I wait for this moment for 10 years. Can't believe they reunited and go back to the stage again. I have no regret now! The show was awesome. They changed some lyrics into English. I love X, always

The best concert ever. However, the band started a bit late. But overall, so amazing..... Looking forward for the next one in LA.

It was amazing and great show. If it was in Japan I couldn't get that much closer. the place was not big so I could see them very close. anyway thier music is amazing!

X JAPAN just rocked the night! It is definitely worth it to go if you have never been to thier live. They just sound amazing live!!! I never listened to a band that does awesome in live like X JAPAN!

X-Japan was absolutely amazing live! I am so happy that I was able to see them in concert. Each member had their time to shine, and the fans loved their energy :)

X Japan rocked as ever! Sugizo's violin solo added even more touch to it. Sugizo and Yoshiki's piano and violin solo was just perfect. They also played Endless Rain, my first song from them. We all sang along with them, we danced with them, we had one of the best nights of our life with them! At the end, Yoshiki just jumped into the audience! I was so jealous of them in the front row! If you're watching their next tours, make sure to get a seat in the middle of the front row!

I really really enjoyed their performance! I was their fan since I was a little girl and it was my dream to go see them at the concert someday but living in the U.S., I thought it was nearly impossible to see them but now my dream came true. The concert started really late though. I don't know what happened in the back stage but waiting in our seats for more than an hour was pretty tiring. I saw many people so tired that they were taking a nap while waiting. That was the only negative but their performance overall was AMAZING. X Japan really knows how to entertain their fans. They are powerful musician and an artist. Loved loved loooooved their concert!! I would go again if I can. I'll never forget about that day and would probably brag about it to other X Japan fans!

X is only one regendary band in Japanese music history. And this was first show for them in North America.(excluding "Lolla palooza" a music fes at Cicago, IL ) Almost songs on thier setlist were hard numbers. They were so exiting and few of them were latest songs and the others were famous songs's English Version. And they also played "I.V." as known as a theme song of one of most famous movie in Hollywood "SAW IV". So amazing and exited. Only one song was a ballade called "Endless Rain". This is so heartfelt number and has so beautiful piano melody like a classical music. You should watch it!

It was amazing from start to finish, did not really care much for the opening band, but X Japan were amazing.

At first, there was an unbearable wait. It make me wonder if X Japan was actually finally going to play... but when they came out to perform, it was fantastic! The music flowed really well, they didn't spare the pyrotechnics (though it did "ruin" the piano later in the show), and though Toshi's voice wasn't as great as before - the performance itself was memorable and I'm still delighted to have been able to attend the show.

So the live was absolutely amazing. There were SO many fans! My friend and I got there at about 2:00 and the line was already down the block. There were a lot of fans from Japan, quite a few of them cosplaying the members, particularly Hide, the beloved guitarist that passed away over ten years ago. There were repeated cries of "WE ARE X!" throughout the day. The doors opened at 6:30 but we didn't all get in til sometime after 7:00. The opening band Vampires Everywhere performed a set of five or six songs and then welcomed X to the stage, although they didn't really come out until 9:45. We were so pumped, many of us screaming for X and for each member. Then we were greeted by a haunting melody as the members walked onto the stage. From where I was, I could see Yoshiki, the drummer/pianist as well as the co-founder of X Japan perfectly as he stood behind his drums, looking beautiful as always. He stood very still, just waiting. Then the lights flashed and he went hardcore into the drums, I had to move side to side to see the other members. They were all so beautiful, wearing some of the same wardrobe as they ahd worn during the music video filming in January. Sugizo had a rose in his mouth as he played his guitar, moving gracefully on the right side of the stage. They played with such passion and energy, I was so pumped just watching them. My eyes were mostly on Yoshiki, watching as he smiled throughout the song he was drumming to. That smile was seen repeatedly throughout the live. Toshi, the vocalist, sang and screamed for us, constantly moving around the stage to the other members. He went up the platform to be behind Yoshiki quite a few times, moving from one side to the other like he was playing with us. They played such driving songs as the audience fist pumped, head banged, and jumped to the sound. Between some songs, Yoshiki went tot he piano and played beautifully as Sugizo accompanied him on violin, playing a beautiful melody each time. At one point, Yoshiki played the piano alone and started playing discordantly with passion, banging on the keys while headbanging, even kicking out the bench from behind him as the music escalated from his haphazard playing. We all screamed for him as he showed his passion. When they began playing "I.V." Toshi told us to sing with him, "In the rain" and "Find a way", it went like this crowd: "In the rain" Toshi: "I'm calling you dear" crowd:"Find a way" Toshi:"Can't you see me standing right here?", we sang with him for what seemed like a long time until they started playing the entire song, where we continued to sing with him. Throughout the live, there was pyro and fog, elements that only seem right for X Japan. And for their new song "Born To Be Free", there were two girls dressed as maids in cages, one for each side of the stage, reminiscient of the music video filming in July that had taken place after the Yoshiki Foundation event in Club Nokia. At some point, Yoshiki went to play his piano but the keys were hot from the pyro and he got on the microphone after fiddling around and told us "The pyro fucks up the piano so we are trying to fix it", he said this with a smile on his face and he had a staff member pour water onto the keys and we laughed as Yoshiki wiped down the keys with a towel. Toshi then asked "Yoshiki, are you ready?" and we laughed as Yoshiki smiled at him and took his place at the piano. At some point, the members left and we all cried for X and an encore. After a while they came back out and graced us with more music. One of the songs was "X", and every time X was sung, the crowd jumped, throwing up their Xs with their arms. It was then that I noticed the band was really getting into it, I think that was when it hit some of the more reluctant seeming members that 'hey, we have a lot of fans here and they LOVE us!' Yoshiki drummed his soul out, at some point just laying down behind his drums, scaring me and I think he put Toshi a little on edge, but he got up and staggered to the front of the stage, smiling and moving as if he was intoxicated with the energy we were giving him. He removed the lace jacket he was wearing and walked to the edge of the stage and DIVED! We all screamed, out of love, out of jealousy, and out of surprise. Sugizo and Toshi were smiling at him from the stage. He climbed back onto the stage looking pleased with himself and just happy. At some point, during one of the songs, I looked at each member and I think for them, it was as if they were back in the 80s, in their 20's and in their prime, just enjoying life. They threw a lot of water bottles, Sugizo pitched quite a few to the audience in the balcony, making everyone just amazed with that arm of his. He told Heath to throw his bottle up to the balcony, but I don't think he did. I think the most memorable song for me was "Endless Rain", because we all sang together and the members just had all of these emotions come across their faces and I'm positive that Yoshiki cried at the end of the song but we couldn't see his face since he was turned to the side and he had his hands folded together in front of his face and he was like that until the lights went out. It was such a beautiful moment and I believe the only ballad they played. Overall, the live was absolutely amazing and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything in the world. I will carry those moments with me in my heart forever. I hope to see X again and again. Their music, their love, their passion is addicting and their energy is something special and rare and they are worth the money and the drama and the heat and the wait. They are worth anything and everything, and I gladly gave my heart and soul that night, screaming at the top of my lungs, just hoping that my voice would reach their ears and that my energy would reach their hearts. Oh! And we made new friends! These two girls from Japan were in front of us and there was a huge language barrier, one of them spoke a little English and I speak very very little Japanese so we communicated with our gestures and we screamed together and headbanged together and sang together and afterward we clapped and constantly said "We are X!" to eachother. So X Japan is a way of communicating on top of everything else. For those of you that think "why do you listen to Japanese rock if you don't understand the language?", X Japan is proof that music is it's own language, that you don't need language to love this music so dearly. There's one thing that every X Japan fan can tell you, especially after Saturday's concert, and that is: "WE ARE X!"

Excellent show. The Wiltern was a beautiful venue to see X Japan's opening concert for their US tour. They even played the rarely perform art of life (despite it was a shortened version). The opening band Vampire everywhere was great. The ticket said door at 6:30, but there was a huge line to get in already. X-Japan didn't get on until 8:45.

It's a great show. There is a pity for their late almost for there hours. But it still an awesome show. I love X-Japan!!!

This concert was for X Japan, and despite the expensive seats, the band gave an unforgettable performance. The technical difficulties delaying the concert was a little annoying, but when X Japan members appeared one by one, all was forgotten. It was a very big honor to support X Japan at their first concert in U.S. I hope they perform in L.A. again next year. ^O^

My friend had a extra free ticket so I decided check out X JAPAN. Having to wait 3 hours for the show kind of pissed me off but the show was just amazing!! We are X!!!!!

From the presentation plus the opening band Vampires Everywhere, you might think X Japan is a forgettable piece of pop-emo teenager garbage. Nothing could be further from the truth: X Japan is one of the very best metal acts in the US at this time, and they proved it from the very beginning of their show. Despite some technical problems with the microphone and such, vocalist Toshi provided one of the strongest vocal performances I have ever heard on a metal stage, especially on the songs "Born To Be Free" and "Kurenai." The real, incredible highlight of the night, though, was drummer Yoshiki's skills. This man is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Few drummers are this uniquely talented, and in both his drum solo and in Art of Life, he truly shined even above all the other songs of the night. Keith Moon? Joey Jordison? Yoshiki's far, far better than either of them. If you like metal (at least progressive/melodic metal, but even some thrash fans might appreciate Yoshiki's drum solos, songs such as X and Kurenai and, if they play it at your live, Orgasm), go see these guys. You will NOT regret buying this ticket and you will most likely fall in love with a new band. That said, bring some earplugs for Vampires Everywhere's set.
