Since I stayed in Tokyo I had no trouble with return
busses and other schedules and was very happy to see X again just six days
after the last concert! (laugh)... A friend of mine had organized very
nice seats for me in C - Block on the 30th and B - Block on the 31st and
I was looking very much forward to the Tokyo Dome two days... However the
30th was a troublesome day for X! When Yoshiki tried to do his drum solo
in the middle of the hall like the year before the fans were waiting and
waiting and waiting and nothing happened. Then finally the big globe in
the middle of the hall was opening and the drum set platform started to
rise but suddenly it stopped! We had no idea what was happening and the
hall was quite short before panic! The globe closed again and again for
a damn long time nothing happened and then suddenly hide chan was starting
"hide no heya", it was the first time I saw "Pose" and at the end of the
performance hide chan was being lifted to the ceiling of the stage by wires!
Very impressive!! But what had happened to Yoshiki???
Later when all members returned to stage Toshi explained
that one of the steel wires of the globe had broken and therefore it was
too dangerous to raise the platform and that today Yoshiki's drum solo
could not happen*
Later I guess it was after "Orgasm" but I'm not sure
anymore, it again took a damn long time till X reappeared, this time Heath
had his head bandaged!!! During "Orgasm" a string of his bass had broken
and hit his forehead and it bled terribly it seems! But despite that Heath
was going on! Brave Heath!
Another break... and suddenly on the main stage Yoshiki
did his drum solo! They must have decided on that spontaneously! Of course
the fans were freaking when he finally did his drum solo and although X
had a lot of trouble it was a great concert all together!
