X JAPAN in France: First Steps

X JAPAN on roller blade

Let’s go back in time a bit. During the traditional roller blade run through Paris each Friday night, t-shirts that were printed with X JAPAN were handed to the participants attending that evening. They then made their run through the capital, wearing these t-shirts, announcing the opening of the official French website!

Video and announcement at Japan Expo

On Saturday, at Japan Expo’s LIVE HOUSE, a giant screen broadcast a video digest of X JAPAN‘s March concerts at the Tokyo Dome.

Shortly before the end of the video, one of the members of X JAPAN‘s staff made an announcement. She reminded the attendees of the opening of the official French website and spoke of the t-shirts that were handed out during the roller blade run. Finally, she officially announced that X JAPAN would go to Europe before the end of the year!

Though no dates have been finalized, fans can eagerly await further details.

The show ended with an excited shout. “X!” The gathered fans definitely made themselves heard.

X JAPAN‘s visit is a much anticipated event, not only in France, but elsewhere in Europe. This could well be a landmark in the history of Japanese music in the Old Continent.
