It's been about half an year since I joined this band "Sky Window" with Yamasaki Yusuke, Joseph, Book and Alen. Today is just a milestone of this band, because Yamajian is going back Japan, and book is going to serve in the military. We held a farewell party to say goodbye to Yamajian and to memory this band in Un In Guan near the Yi Jong Street. Practices nights and nights, countless practice in the band practicing room, it really nice to play a band with you guys. Thanks. And also thanks to all the friends always come to see our performance.

After the passionate song "X", it came another classic ballad song "Endless Rain", just like the song title, the monitor was playing rain like animation. It'was really cool, and in the end of this song, all the audience just kept chorus the lyrics "Endless Rain.. fall on my heart kokolo no kitsuni", "Let me forget.. all of the hate.. all of the sadness.." These two lyric sentence kept repeat and repeat, it was really touching and it's hard to describe the feeling of hearing over 10000 people chorus my favorite song...
And then, the last song they played: "Art of Life" The whole stage was dark, and Yoshiki's piano played sometimes sadly, beautifully, sometimes hysterically, and then the stage's light suddenly all on, and all the other members appeared and played. I'm really glad that I was there.

Next, as if they wanted to encourage us, it was "I.V."'s time, and Toshi taught us sentence by sentence of the lyric: "In the rain" "I'm calling you dear" "Find the way" " Can't you see me standing right here?" After he was sure that all of us knew how to sing the song, Yoshiki walked to the drum from his piano and started beating his drum and his drum set started to flow up again.
After I.V., an unfamiliar background music was played, and at the path stage two doll dragon appeared, and The Dragon Dance started. It was pretty fresh, and it was my first time to see such performance on X Japan's concert.
In the end of the dragon dance, the lights in the stadium suddenly shined, "Prologue(~World Anthem)" played, and Toshi and Yoshiki with a bridal veil. Ha! "Are you ready!?" Toshi yelled and then a male voice appeared to introduce the band members and the the concert continued.
"X" came out! The craziest song today, because with Yoshiki's heavy drum beat point, people started to "X Jump" - the tradition of X Japan's concert! Everytime Toshi sang the world "X", we jumped with our hands or luminous sticks crossed like "X", and it felt just like earthquaking at that time. Looked around the stadium, the scenery was really shocking because every hands I could see was crossed X. Maybe it's the only time that I can see such a glorious view.

Yoshiki, Toshi, Pata, Heath, Sugizo, and the forever Hide, all of them appeared on the stage and on the monitor, doing their play, their performance. Along the whole stadium, I could see various color of luminous sticks waves together with the rhythm. "Taiwan!!!!!" Toshi's high decibel voice broke the silence dark sky, and the infinite sky could not cover our passion.
Then, X Japan's classic song came one after one. "weekend" "silent jealousy" "Pata's solo" "drain" "Say Anything" "Tears"...and then "kurenai" began, hide started to play the prelude. I quickly took out of my own handmade red plastic ball and raised it up, and people in the stadium were soon became red, just like the song title "kurenai", and then Toshi yelled "Kurenai!!!!!" The stage explode out those silk colored ribbons...Another orgasm.
After "Kurenai", it's was a rest time, and Rosa started to sing with the dancers dancing beautifuly on the three path stages, and the came the fasion show to relieve the audience emotion. Soon, Yoshiki's drum set started to raise up and move forward fromt the stage and Yoshiki started to solo, and I can only say it must had been human's extreme of playing drums...
Finally the drum set landed down to the ground and Yoshiki exhaustedly walked to the piano and the creepy "without you" was played. Old clips of X Japan started to play on the monitor include some images of Hide, and I heard some people's sob.

The sky became darker, the moon hanged on the right side sky as if it was also waiting to watch this fantastic concert. I could feel the excitement around all the stadium because people starts to play the waving audience trick and yelled "we are X !!!" And soon, the whole stadium went crazy.
7 o'clock, the familiar song "Amethyst" rang, smoke started to spray around the stage, beautifull red and blue light inlluminate the stadium, the scenes I could only see in the DVD became reality, and I was just in it! Everyone raised their luminous sticks into a shape of X and waited for them - X. A female's voice appeared " X, Japan...Japan...Japan...", and then a male's voice started to introduce the band members: Toshi, Pata, Heath, Hide and then Yoshiki. Just right at the time Yoshiki beat the drum, the firework spurted into sky and "Rusty nail" started to play... The whole stadium screamed, over 10000 people screamed together. "Finally they comes, finally I've heard their live! It's true. It's reality and I'm not dreaming!" The lengend band in the music history finally revived and backed to us.

During the time we lining up, we could see that people were getting more and more. In the beginning when I arrived the stadium, the line was only about half of the stadium, and till the afternoon, the line had prolonged more than the whole stadium, all of them came here for the same purpose of mine, they came for X Japan. Among these people, many people's costume were just fantastic. They cosplay the style of X's membersb vividly, and many people dyed their hair red because of the guitarist Hide.
At about three o'clock, we could hear some music from the inside of the stadium, they were rehearsing the concert. Those familiar songs I've listened for countless times spread out of the stadium. It was really a special experience and I sang with the music with excitement and looked forward to the performance.
At About five o'clock, the gate opened and fans started to go into the stadium. We sat at the stage's right side and located about in the middle of the stadium called the Western 1 Grandstand. The view was pretty good because we could see the monitor clearly and the whole stadium's audience and see the stage's move a little. And the tremendous logo of X was just above the stage.

It was 2009.05.30, a very impressing day in my life, which made me feel so unreal, even now. And it was also a day that I kept screaming for the whole night. It was X Japan - My favorite band in Japan's concert in Taiwan.
It was a sunny and warm day. I woke up at six o'clock and happily went to the Pan-Chaio Stadium. On the bus, the bus driver asked me if i were going to the Pan-Chiao Stadium? I wondered why did he know where I'm going, and then he told me, since yesterday there had been many people lined up in front of the stadium, and seems waiting for a concert. When I got off the bus and arrived the stadium, just like what the bus driver said, there had been a long line of people rounding half of the stadium.
I joined the line soon, and it was about eight o'clock. I matted some newspaper on the ground and waited for the concert and my friends Nep, Yuan and Papa who came with me to watch the concert together. At about 09:30, Nep arrived and joined me lining up and then Papa arrived at about noon, and Yuan came at about 04:00 when we heard the rehearsal in the stadium.
