Yoshiki from X-Japan announced at a press conference on Sunday the 20th, that X-Japan will hold 3 concerts this spring. One on March 28th and March 30th, and a hide-tribute concert on the 10th anniversary of his death on May 2nd.
He also mentioned the strong possibility for X-Japan to do a concert outside of Japan in Europe and/or the US.
I'm so excited about this because the 2 concerts are during my next vacation to Japan. This will be a dream come true as well. This marks 3 of the 4 concerts that I hoped for in one of my previous posts. Ayumi Hamasaki on the 5th or 6th April, the GazettE on March 28th and X-Japan on March 30th. It couldn't be better. Now the last one, being Hirano Aya ^^; But that is a lot less likely.
The Japan 2008 trip will probably be during the Easter vacation, 2 weeks in April, although I still need to wait for concert dates from Ayumi Hamasaki.
Also I have other hopes of concerts which I expect next year. The GazettE usually has some dates in spring.
And since Hirano Aya has seriously started her singing career with her current single releases, I think we can expect a tour (or album). Would be nice if it were in April ^^.
And also X-Japan is said to do a tour again in spring of next year.
If they were all to come together in those 2 weeks, that would be really wonderful! But that will probably be asking too much, but one can have hopes ;p But definitely Ayumi ^^;
Some possible things to visit in Osaka:
- Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan
- Tennouji Park
- Shintennou-ji temple
