Peter's Japan blog

It seemed like a dream come true. X Japan were finally together again, did some awesome concerts after almost 10 years, AND announced an international world tour with a concert in Paris, Taipei and New York. But now the sad news comes that Yoshiki has problems with his health.

Yoshiki has long had a chronic herniated disc and tenditis. Doctors ordered him to wear a corset during the concerts in May, which he did not. And it also worsened during the tribute concerts in May for Matsumoto "hide" Hideto.
This explains why he wore a neck band in the past concerts, as I didn't know about his actual condition, although I expected something like this.
He is supposedly recovering in his home in Los Angeles, but the concerts are postponed until further notice...

Gambatte Yoshiki!!
