Numerous live performances that gave birth to the legend will be brought back to life on WOWOW. Previously recorded live performances of the legendary Japanese rock band X JAPAN will be featured for six consecutive months from September 2020 to February 2021. The concert is currently available on demand on WOWOW and YOSHIKI CHANNEL in Japan. YOSHIKI expressed his hopes for the safety of the fans and their families on his Instagram account before the start of the extraordinary performance. In addition, YOSHIKI made arrangements for the whole production to stream on Nico Video’s . In response to fan outcry, the decision was made to perform the concert in its entirety inside the massive venue so fans could watch safely at home, with the international crew from Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and numerous other countries adding their talents to the effort. When the announcement was made in the early afternoon, thousands of fans who had arrived early at the venue screamed in shock, many having traveled from overseas to join the 100,000 who’d gathered from September 28-30 for X JAPAN’s largest live concerts in 8 years. With concern for the safety of fans as their top priority, X JAPAN announced that tickets for all 33,000 people would be refunded but the band would perform an unprecedented large-scale “closed-door concert” with complete stage effects and crew for the scheduled live broadcast on WOWOW that night. X JAPAN’s third-straight night of sold-out concerts - X JAPAN LIVE IN JAPAN 2018 THREE DEEP RED NIGHTS AT MAKUHARI MESSE - was suddenly cancelled on September 30th due to the impending weather effects of Typhoon Trami. In addition, the Special Edition also includes a 24-page photo book with rare images and liner notes.Įach Japanese edition of We Are X includes a special "We Are X" trading card randomly selected from 7 different kinds - Yoshiki, Toshi, Pata, Heath, Sugizo, Hide, and Taiji. Fans who purchase the Blu-ray/DVD at Amazon, Rakuten Books, Seven Net Shopping, TSUTAYA, TOWER RECORDS, and HMV will receive limited-edition "We Are X" metallic clear files while supplies last. The Japanese releases also includes bonus footage, such as the songs "Kurenai" and "Forever Love", from "X Japan: The Last Live", held on December 31st, 1997, as well as unreleased footage and interviews with X Japan members not included in the theatrical release. The 3-disc versions of the Special Edition and Collectors Edition feature original Japanese content, including Yoshiki's piano performance at the Sundance Film Festival and the Japan "We Are X: World Tour 2017" edition of the film. The Blu-ray Collectors Edition will include exclusive gold commemorative packaging able to be wall-mounted for decoration, available as both a 3-disc and 1-disc version.
