Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey guys, I just saw a Miyavi video on TV. eek

It was labled as "When I wish Upon you"

The channel that played it : International Music Feed (IMF)

time: 6:15 a.m. Eastern time

They recycle their video lineups so odds are that the video will play around the same time tomorrow. So if any of you have the channel I would suggest keeping a look out for it.

Let me just say, WOW. Tonight I saw a diru video on MTV2 and then I turn over to IMF and catch Miyavi. WTF?

On Saturday of Jrock Revolution during the middle of Miyavi's performance, he told the audience that he had something to tell them and had us screaming "What?" like "What is it?" Then a video sequence played that showed information about Yoshiki's band and announced Miyavi as the 4th member. After that he invited Sugizo of Luna Sea out to the stage and they jammed together for a song. Yoshiki came out after that to talk more about it and announce that their first performance would be June 29th at Anime Expo. He also told everyone that Gackt couldn't make it, but said "Hi". Ironically *AT* the concert, Yoshiki told us everything except for the band's name.

Anime Expo then reported the news on the website and posted the band's name (THANK YOU AX FOR BEING ON THE BALL!). Ticketing for this event is expected to be the same as the rest of the concerts AX has which is usually through the Main Events arena thus being a ticketed event in which you need both a con badge *AND* a ticket to the event. AX ticketed events are given out differently than for any other concert or anything you've been too before. Those who stay in the Anime Expo block at official hotels will get a voucher which allows them to trade in for ONE (1) TICKET to ONE (1) of the main events whether it be a concert, masquerade, AX Idol, Anime Music Videos, etc. Please note though that rooms for the AX block in the official hotels have *ALREADY* been sold out since before the announcement. The second method is new where you can pay for premium tickets before June 15th. Premium tickets have not yet gone on sale for the SKIN concert, but have for the other main events. To get a premier ticket, you need to have $30 AND a pre-registered Anime Expo badge. The last method is to wait in line and 2 hours before the event they will be handed out. Once you get your ticket though, you won't have very much to worry about with people cutting in front of you. The last few years AX has *ALWAYS* color coded their tickets meaning that a ticket is colored to allow you to sit in ONE particular section. There might be some issue with people with the same color ticket in front of you, but if someone's supposed to sit way in the back and they cut in front of you in line, they *CAN'T* sit in front of you. AX staff will tell them to go to the right colored section and won't let them in through that section. People miffed at stuff that happened at the Wiltern will probably appreciate this. Staff members for AX also tend to be a bit more serious when you cause problems. They can and do eject people from the con if the act too much like a dumbass and when you register for your badge, it's part of their "Code of Conduct Policy". Read it carefully or even for your entertainment. Some parts of it are actually pretty funny. They have a sense of humor.

Anaheim, California (May 25, 2007) - As announced on the stage of J-ROCK REVOLUTION:

SKIN performs June 29th, 2007 at Anime Expo® 2007.

SKIN is Yoshiki, Gackt, Sugizo and Miyavi!

Stay tuned for more info...
