S.K.I.N. show

OK….. I came back to L.A. from Tokyo just 2 days before the S.K.I.N. show. I had to go to my recording studio directly from LAX airport, had some meetings regarding the movie soundtrack I've been working on, and practiced the drums for the show.

 
The next day we had a band rehearsal at the Long Beach Arena, but before and after that I had to go to my recording studio again (with traffic, those locations are  around 2 hours apart).

So I didn't have time to sleep the night before the show.

Well I guess I should say the first S.K.I.N. Live went well, considering the minimal rehearsal time we had, and the band members did very well…..

….but my head was a little blurry….. Not because I didn't sleep a few days before the show…..

I wish I could have seen everybody's face (audience) a little more….. And I should have smashed the drum set even more…ha ha ha ha ……

I don't exactly know what I'm talking about….. but….. Well….. That was the first drum performance on stage for me since X Japan's Last Live…..

I don't know why but as soon as I started playing the drums on the stage at the Long Beach, so many memories started filling my head…..

Don't get me wrong… I was very excited playing with these amazingly brilliant members, but I started feeling a little sad, and a few times tears filled my eyes and blurred my vision….. Very strange…..

I don't think I've conquered the sadness of past X Japan memories yet…..

But at the same time I felt like I found the place to live….. Besides inside of the dark recording studio.

Being on stage….. Breathing with you…..  And beating the beat along with your heartbeats…..

I don't know how long I should be, and I can be….. But I found a place again ….where I belong.

I'd like to feel the sound

I'd like to feel your breath

I'd like to feel your heartbeat

I'd like to feel your scream

More and more…..

I love you,

YOSHIKI

PS

All my respect goes to the band members of S.K.I.N.,  staff and FANS who supported us.

Thank you!!!

S.K.I.N.表演

OK.....在S.K.I.N.表演前兩天我才剛從東京回到了洛杉磯.我要從洛杉磯機場直接去我的錄音室,有很多關於我在製作的電影原聲帶的會面,以及為了表演而練習打鼓.

第二天我們在Long Beach Arena有樂隊綵排,但是在這綵排前後我要再次回去我的錄音室(因著交通關係,這些場地大概相距2小時的車程).

所以我在表演之前一晚根本沒有時間睡覺.

好吧我猜我應該說第一場S.K.I.N.的現場表演做的不錯,細想我們只花了最少的綵排時間,以及團員做的非常好...

...但我的頭腦有點模糊....不是因為我在表演之前沒有睡好幾天了...

我希望我可以看多一點點所有人的臉(觀眾的)...而且我應該有更加多破壞樂鼓的環節...哈哈哈哈...

我不是很清楚的知道我在說的是什麼....但是...是的.....那是我自從X-Japan Last Live之後第一次在台上的打鼓表演....

我不知道為什麼但就在我開始在Long Beach的台上打鼓的同時,有很多很多的回憶開始在我腦海中掠過...

不要誤會我....跟那些出色得令人震驚的團員一起表演真的令我非常興奮,但是我開始感到一點傷感,而且有好幾次眼淚在我眼眶打轉,模糊了我的視線....非常奇怪...

我不認為我已經克服了過去X-Japan的回憶所帶來的傷感...

但是與此同時我發覺自己像是找到了一個生存的地方....除了在那黑暗的錄音室之中.

在舞台上....與你們一起呼吸....而且與你們的心跳同步跳躍....

我不知道我應該延續多久,可以延續多久....但是我再次找到了一個地方...一個屬於我的地方.

我渴望去感受那聲音

我渴望去感受你們的呼吸

我渴望去感受你們的心跳

我渴望去感受你們的呼叫

更多更多....

我愛你們,
YOSHIKI

PS
我全心的向所有S.K.I.N.的團員們,工作人員們,以及支持我們的歌迷致意.
多謝!!!!
