The Japan Superband

It’s really a J-rocker’s dream. First it was a rumour, and now it seems to have a little bit more backing to it.
Last year Yoshiki announced that he would be doing a project/collaboration with Gackt and now Sugizo has joined the duo (from Luna Sea fame). Yoshiki has announced that there would be a forth member joining their project (he has a myspace… who would’ve known… and apparently its legit – beats me why its in English).

And…… some people have questions about “THE BAND”.

Yes, Sugizo from Luna Sea came here to LA several times last year, and last month Gackt came to town, and we both went to dinner….. pretty much just the two of us……

Actually that was really funny….. Gackt came to my house and ate dinner…… that was good….. Then I said to him “why don’t we go out to dinner?”. and he said “we just ate…..???” then I said “I wanna eat different food…..” well …. we ate Japanese food at my house, and then ended up going out to a Japanese restaurant in LA…..

(We are very weird…. Ha, ha, ha, ha)…… but that was fun!

Yes, I’m so lucky to have them as friends, and also to be able to work with them professionally.

Sugizo and Gackt are such talented people, also having such an amazing vibe. Actually, they are all going to come here next month with one more person that I can’t reveal yet.

Anyhoo… the word is that it could possibly be Miyavi. If it is, then the world is complete. If it isn’t – well… it’s pretty darn close.

I seriously hope he’s gonna participate in the new KAT-TUN single Yorokobi no Uta, because the last album was kind of…lacking? bad? ^^;
Well KAT-TUN isn’t KAT-TUN without the A. There’s hope for them yet…
