This is great! Just also found out that "those that participate in either KAI-KI: TALES OF TERROR FROM TOKYO screenings or either AniMaid Café events will be given a special limited edition X JAPAN/Yoshiki keepsake that will also provide them premier access into the evening's Yoshiki Foundation America event." Get your tickets now at www.Club2theMAX.com

You have wrong information in this artical.
Quote:
The Yoshiki Foundation is a 501(c)3) charity devoted to providing funds for children with bone marrow disease, the illness that caused the death of X Japan's vocalist Hideto "hide" Matsumoto in 1997. The event will specifically raise funds for the Grammy Foundation and St. Vincent's Meals on Wheels.

1. Hide died 1998 (May 2nd)
2. Hide did not die from bone marrow disease. (Suicide/drunken accident) In fact, Hide donated bone marrow and was a huge supporter of the Make a Wish foundation.
3. Most importantly Hide was not the vocalist, Toshi has always been the vocalist. Hide was the lead guitarist.
Please fix this if possible because any real X fan will be very offended as I am.
