Well, it was announced on the 25th at the Jrock concert Yoshiki was holding what the line-up for his supergroup is.
Rumours were right! It was Miyavi in the wings. The band looks something like this:
Yoshiki = drums and piano
Gackt = vocals
Sugizo = guitar
Miyavi = guitar
Ju-Ken (Support) = Bass
Their name is Skin~
Its really like… almost perfect…
They all come from famous (and successful) backgrounds (which makes the fans squeal); Yoshiki is formerly X-Japan, Gackt formerly Malice Mizer, Sugizo formerly Luna Sea, Miyavi formerly Dué le Quartz and Ju-Ken is Gackt’s current bassist ^^. Ju-Ken as of now is only listed as a support act though.
From what the comments have been saying Skin is absolutely awesome in concert *grins*, ahh I’m so jealous, no chance of them upping and visiting me down under huh? They performed at the 2007 Anime Expo XD.

They have confirmed that Skin will be releasing an album [source].
Yes! Another reason to spend all my money.
