X Japan at Nissan Stadium ~ Manatsu No Yoru
I spent the weekend of the 14th and 15th of August in Shin Yokohama soaking up the atmosphere of the two concerts. It was a wonderful weekend. Yokohama was taken over by X fans.  They were everywhere, all dressed up in their eye-catching cosplay attires.  The temperature, however, was very hot.  Despite that, Toshi still somehow managed to be dressed for winter.
 
X Japan at Nissan Stadium ~ Saikai No Yoru

"We show you the place where life and dreams become one" - if anyone would ask me, whether X JAPAN are serious with that, my answer would be, that they are. Because on August 14th, not only one dream became true at that night.
The first dream was "Saikai no yoru", X JAPAN reunited - okay that became true already anyway - and the second, to see them live with my own eyes. Indeed, there are many fans who have seen them already playing several times, but it was the first live I've seen personally and the dream I was longing for even when everyone called me an idiot to keep up that dream, as X were disbanded back then. The third dream was, however, to see X playing together with TAIJI, if only for one time - and even that one, which was in my opinion the most unlikely, became true. Even now I ask myself, if that was real or just another dream. But yes! It happened!

YOSHIKI and TOSHI playing at JAPAN EXPO Live House

ToshI LAST CONCERT [武士JAPAN]

The weather last week was mainly cold. The sun came only out on this particular day, perfect for ToshI's restart.
I arrived at AKASAKA BLITZ around 3 p.m. Merchandise was sold both outside and inside the venue, so people without tickets could buy something, too. Though, the sale outside started already at 3:30 p.m., while 200-300 people were waiting around the venue already. They sold T-shirts (black/white 3,500 yen), towels (3,500 yen), posters (L size 1,500 yen, S size 1,000 yen), brochures (3,500 yen), and ToshI's new album (2,500 yen).
After I bought some of them and ate something outside, I waited for the doors to open with many other fans. I saw some fans cosplaying ToshI, HIDE and YOSHIKI.
Luckily, this concert wasn't in usual X-style. The doors opened on time and the people went in order into the venue while the staff called the numbers of the tickets.

 
Ra:IN Live in Cologne
- Saturday, June 27th - Ra:IN live in Cologne, Die Werkstatt

With a group of the Xplosion staff, we decided to meet up in Köln for the weekend of the Ra:IN gig. So on the 27th of June, we set off from all parts of Europe.

Around 17:30 we left our hotel and headed off in the direction of Die Werkstatt. On our way we enjoyed some lovely Subway sandwiches and the rain that had decided to start to fall, that evening.

By the time we arrived at Die Werkstatt, we were pretty wet, but thankfully that didn't seem to have dampened anyone's mood. There was already a small crowd assembled on the parking lot, waiting for the doors to open at 19:00.
