自己破産はこの２年後

[@chrisXlr8r]

Today is the 25th anniversary of Hide's death. Looking back at moments like these humbles me. His death was a tragedy for not just Japan but J-rock fans everywhere. 25 years later, his memory lives on in his loved ones. He lives on in X-Japan's history and in us, his fans. No matter how much time passes there will always be people who remember him and mourn him.

[@庄子亮子]

Toshiは、いつでもカッコイイよ❤ 涙で声が出てなくても、 それでもいい。 ひたむきに歌ってるToshiが大好き❤です‼️

[@MattEricJones]

I was there. I and a friend went from the UK via a J-rock tour group which gathered a few dozen fans from America and elsewhere to see these three shows. Being there in person on those three nights was like existing in a piece of reality had been severed from the world. I have never, before or since, experienced anything like the connection and pure emotional meaning that almost physically existed in that space, not ever. This moment, 60,000 people taking the song and carrying it... an incredible, ineffable, trascendent moment that I will never forget. There was no distinction between band and audience in this moment. The walls seperating 60,000 people from one another, seperating the stage from the crowd ceased to exist. Everyone sang that song to themselves, to each other, and to the band. That piece of time belonged to every person there. I wish I had the words to express it better. There's really nothing like X-Japan.

What really gets me isn't his voice breaking or the fans singing for him. It's the fact that even though he's clearly hurting, he's still singing the song with all his heart.

[@FEAROWNAGE]

Gazlene!

[@facufeg86]

I know im late but that is Toshi. Toshi always sings witho all his heart. His technique, his charm, none of that makes him the best. What really makes him the best is her HUGE HEART and how he put it on his singing.

[@janascoville204]

So, so sad to witness the raw pain Toshi and the others were experiencing during this live performance. Losing Hide, especially given the unexpected and extremely tragic way that he died, literally broke their hearts. It must have taken so much courage and strength for Toshi to sing this song, knowing he would be unable to control his emotions or his tears. It's so touching how the audience joined in and helped him finish the song. X Japan has the most dedicated, awesome fans !!

[@pinkgekotalevel5897]

TOSHIさん本当にいい人なんだろうなとわかりますね。

Must be so terribly hard to sing that when the last time was hide's funeral. As hard as it is for us to watch. My heart goes out to them, they are strong. This song so beautiful.

Xの曲を聴く時今までになかったことなのですが、ベースの音に耳を傾けるようにようになりました。気付かせてくれたheathに感謝。 女性ベースを歌っていますが、つられるなんて嘆かないで他のパートを支えるように生かすように歌っていこうと思います。 古希を迎えて、あと何年ゴスペルを歌えるかわからないけれど、心を合わせて良いサウンドを作っていきます。

Sadly I only discovered X-Japan after Hide's passing. I never felt so sad for a man I've never met but I know his music so it like I knew a piece of his soul before it went on that will go on forever. Great now I miss HIDE and MJ. I'm going to go cry now.

Found out that this is they first time perform Forever Love after the last time (Hide funeral 1998) I was more touch and cant stop ma tears from pouring. But good job to Toshi even he in difficult situation to sing this song but he still doing it perfectly. And as Pata and Heath, they will always forever be calm and relax as hell. Haha. Its hard to see them emotional on stage, even at their Last Live 1997. ^_^

Toshi was very sad becaus he just left the band several months before hide's death.

FYI at that time of this performance , Toshi still in the cult. That cult brainwash him and made him feel sad all the time.

[@Misunao23]

Can you believe that this was prior to him officially leaving HoH? In October of 2009, he finally cut ties with them. This might have been the extra push and encouragement he needed to leave forever.

[@AtrocityEquine01]

Two reasons why he's crying: 1. Apparently as said in the comics, this was the first time he performed "Forever Love" since 1998 (aka Hide's funeral). 2. Remembering how much he misses his band mates due to being in a cult that told him being in the band was ruining his life god hug this man

[@jeannylimantara5375]

[@jzakrevsky3]

Nah, you're not a wimp, this actually made me cry the first few times I heard it, and even now still brings tears to my eyes and I've seen it many times.

[@kurenaikumodesu]

@Myumeful He was the original guitarist along with PATA. Look up his solo songs, too. He was so funny, a kind person according to all his friends, and wrote great music.

[@AHrca_guitar_football]

its in 2008, during this he was still under brainwash,,, but he was finding his way out of it

[@b1na276]

brainwashed by whom?

[@nareesuwan8839]

By his ex-wife and Masaya they had been using abuse and violence to control him through fear...sadness I just know Why he cried a lot on stage in 1996,1997,2008 ... you can read Toshi book “Brainwashed - My Comeback from 12 Years of Hell” that sale in 2014 from this web www.xplosion-online.com/?page_id=2374#.WJrAENJ97IU

[@mrfried]

It's dreadful what they did to him, they are evil people, they were the reason why X Japan split up in the first place, but fortunately their greed proved to be their undoing, they had forbidden Toshi from speaking with his old bandmates, they told him that everything related with X Japan was somehow evil and he should cast that life away, yet when the money was drying up and they found out that X Japan getting back together would bring in lots of money they told him to go speak to Yoshiki, look at doing new material and do the concerts, at that point he started to question things. So when you see him there singing, he's just reunited with his old friends, this song is bringing back all the old memories of being with the band and of Hide, and Hide's funeral, he's questioning things, he's questioning why he was forced to give up the band in the first place, he's starting to break free of the brainwashing, he's finding he actually missed being in X Japan, he missed performing like this, he's starting to not believe the lies his abusers have been telling him for years, and and he's hiding the scars and bruises with makeup. So this is a sad performance because he's remembering Hide and the memories of the funeral are there, but this is also the moment that Toshi started to break free
