Hi everyone,
I just heard that YOSHIKI'S new band VIOLET UK has a song on the new
X-clusive Yoshiki.net members disc.
It is called "Blind Dance" and the disc itself includes not the song for
your cd player but a "making of" video for the song with it playing in
thebackground.....so members get a "sneak peak"....
I would X-pect that Violet UK's cd is on it's way....
-Chris
Yoshiki wrote this song for the movie "In Gods hands", an American surf movie from 1998. The song is played during a short szene in the movie.

1.Forever Love (Single Version)
2.Forever Love (Live Version)
3.Forever Love (Acoustic Version)
4.Forever Love (Last Mix)
5.Special Preview of The Last Live
It appears you get all 3 studio versions, plus a live version (this
would either be a UNRELEASED live recording ((^_^ this MAY be likely!
--because it is not specific or with a date.)) or the "Last Live"
recording...((Atlantic does not own the "Live Live Live" version, that's
Polydor's..so chances are it's new...yet they are borrowing some of
Polydors other material here ..aka (last mix) so it still may be
the"Live Live Live" version after all...) Plus the Preview of the"Last
Live"....which may be a cdrom like "The Last Song" single was.
Stay tuned...^_^
