"On the Same Stage / On the same stage with you"
X JAPAN fan (TOSHI x YOSHIKI)
After he left, he said that he had closed the door in his heart, but the music he wrote for him still flowed out from his writing uncontrollably. As a professional musician, he chose to give up the world's top singers and only wait for one person to return.
He is gone, but the unsaid words have been stuck in his heart for twelve years, so he will come back eventually. And the reason why the unsaid words are so difficult to say is because it is more than just a thank you and sorry?
You and I both know the separation and union of ten years and the bond of half a century, but how can a story that is highly simplified into "dissolution, brainwashing, and reorganization" satisfy our thoughtful minds?
This book connects the emotional threads scattered in old interviews, out-of-print program notes, expired releases, and limited edition DVDs into the most beautiful yet painful story, outlining the waking and broken dreams of the eighteen years from 1992 to 2011, as well as every craziest moment in the two intertwined artistic lives.
