Endless Rain needed a rap.

Those first 2 vocalist struggling the highnotes 
there was a rap and an interpretive dance break lmao
… and was that a fake crowd singalong. It sounded like it got pulled from one of X’s lives. No way does that crowd know the lyrics and passionate enough to sing that loud
… and there was a choir … snapping their fingers with a two-step WTH
Such a hot mess of a rendition for such an iconic song.

Cant replace the solo with that 
…
And the “rapper” suddenly got the auto tune or whatever on changing his voice 
Here come the bitter ppl hating on the best and most famous 4th gen idols and making stuff up to make the performance seem bad🤭
this is the funniest thing i’ve seen today lmaoooooo
Shit > Yoshiki > Kpop
/thread
Yoshiki also appeared as a special guest on the 30th at a celebration event for Shigeo Yamada, who was recently appointed as ambassador to the U.S. He played (you guessed it) ENDLESS RAIN.
I had no idea Yoshiki was that super popular in Korea?
X was known all across Asia because prior to the explosion of Kpop, Japanese musical exports were the thing. In the world tours when they came back they performed at large venues in China and Korea. I don’t know how many tickets they moved, but here is X performing in Seoul with a real, ticket-purchasing attendance instead of at some recording industry award show with the credibility of a Belarusian presidential election.
Yoshiki has tremendous industry pull and he’s able to perform where he wants, globally. The guy booked incredibly expensive venues for X’s western lives because he wanted them in his resume and then closed off and blacked out a part of the seating like in MSG and Wembley.

What bands did yoshiki basically help to debut? Glay, deg, gazette, what others are there? He deserves creds for that.
Huh?
I think I read he helped them out in the beginning as well
Don’t forget LUNA SEA, ZI:KILL, Gilles de Rais among others (on Extasy Records).

Thats pretty crazy when you think about it.
Glay might not be the most popular band here but they were HUGE around the 2000s, like every single there for some time was became a million seller. Then Luna Sea, DeG and probably more. Not to forget his own X Japan of course!
I know he is mostly seen as a meme recently but everything he has done for japanese rock/VK is pretty sick, and there will probably never be another one like him.

Visual kei was huge in Korea back in 90s, early K-pop boy bands copy a lot of visual kei aesthetics and apparently they still loves them as some of them still covering old school visual kei songs.
