X JAPAN got over the crisis! The famous Japanese band, X Japan, was in
a trouble because of the bassist HEATH. He announced he was going to
leave X Japan.

But YOSHIKI came back to Japan and talked it over with HEATH.
After the meeting, HEATH changed his mind and said
"I'm really sorry about this mess I made. I'm really apologized about my
selfishness. I regret what I did." He is not getting out of X Japan.
X JAPAN got over the biggest crisis after they got together again.

And here is good news!
Sugizo, who used to be the member of Luna Sea and also was touring with
X Japan as a supporting member, became the offcial member of X JAPAN.

"I will try to feel the spirit of Hide who I really liked and respected as much
as I can. I will let fans feel his spirit as I have tried doing ever since I started
helping X Japan" said SUGIZO.

but I got the feeling they might disband again. But I was totally wrong! lol

And SUGIZO joined X JAPAN that's cool too! It means Luna Sea is never get
together again... well. who knows?

A follow up news of SMAP Tsuyoshi Kusanagi's Incident

Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, who was caught for a drunken nudity, was released.
He had a drug test but any drug wasn't detected from him. Also Police
searched his house but they did'nt seize any drug either.
On the other hand People criticized this police's action.

"He got drunk and did a wrong thing. But it was not that bad as medias
pick on him like this. Also I don't get why Police got into his place with
a search warrant. That's too much he just got drunk too much as
everyone does." says a person on the internet.

He was ordered to stay at home and not to show up on TV for a while.
It seems The members of SMAP understand him and already talked
to him and encouraged him.

Shingo Katori, who is also the member of SMAP, apologized for Tsuyoshi
Kusanagi on TV. Since not only because he is a member of SMAP but also
He's been the best friend of Tsuyoshi Kusanagi since they were kids.

Shingo started aplogizing for him at the beginning of his show.
It took about 2 minutes. In the middle of the aplogy, He lost his words
and his eyes were full of tears. And he said, "If everyone can forgive what
he did, I want him to come back to SMAP as soon as possible."


Actually that was so sweet. I really think they get along with each other.
If everone can forgive? come on! He just got drunk and naked. No BIG DEAL!
The shit media has just picked this thing up as a super big deal. They are damn
losers. I hate them.
