It was somewhat unexpected, but concerning to their concert on August 14th & 15th, 2010 at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, X JAPAN held a press conference in Tokyo today.

The band seem to show themselves in a new style for the upcoming lives both in Japan and overseas. The band logo shows an impressive dragon, reminding slightly to the former X logo in 1992 which you can find on the "Hametsu ni mukatte~On the verge of destruction" Album and DVD. Also, the concert's opening sequence will be a new one.

The title of the concerts in Yokohama will be "Choukyoukou toppa nanakorobi yaoki ~sekai ni mukatte~" (超強行突破　七転八起　～世界に向かって～; meaning: Violent breakthrough seven times falling down, eight times standig up ~towards the world~) which is meant to be a pretty representative title for X JAPAN as band: no matter how often they're on the ground, they don't hesitate to get up again to move forward.
While ToshI described these concerts to be a new start for X JAPAN, YOSHIKI couldn't resist adding "this time not 'towards destruction'".
The band might also perform a new song from SUGIZO during the lives.

However, before the lives in Yokohama, X JAPAN's appearance at Lollapalooza in Chicago is scheduled. Therefore they are planning to release "Jade" as their first single in the United States soon, followed by later releases of "Born to be free" and "I.V.".
A full album is scheduled to be released autumn this year, including well known songs like "Art of Life", "Tears"(in English), "Rusty Nail" (in English), and "Kurenai".
After their live appearances at Yokohama, a North American tour is planned, with more than 10 concerts in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc.

After the Press conference YOSHIKI, ToshI and SUGIZO were playing "Forever Love"  accompanied by piano and violin.
