The first date has been announced on the official forum, just a couple of minutes ago: 28th of February 2009 (Saturday): Rocktempel, Kerkrade, South Holland (with Xystus)

From Intention's official website and official MySpace . My favorite indie metal band, Intention, is playing what I believe will be their first gig with their new vocalist (his name is Gin) on October...take a listen, you won't be sorry. They're a Japanese band, but their sound is more authentically "LA" than most bands who are actually from LA. And if you like them, friend them! They need more fans

From Mitsuo's site and Kenji's blog : [HYPER MEGATON CLUB] Dec. 12th, 2008 @ Meguro Rock Maykan Mitsuo Takeuchi (D.T.R, HOT ROD CRUE, Eikou Jyuku) Kazuhide Shirota (PRESENCE, ex GRAND SLAM) Taiji...I assumed was an error-- so I was relieved to find out it was. Looks safe to take this as confirmation that (despite the lack of activity) D.T.R is still around. After all, Mitsuo and Kenji would know

I suck at French, but: http://www.ticketnet.fr/shop/fr/manif.asp?idmanif=154995 According to Babelfish, it says the sale of tickets for X Japan's Paris show has been delayed until early October. Can anyone confirm/deny whether this is correct or not? Thanks!

It's official... I guess: T-Earth will perform in Chile on October 11th at Teatro Caupolican. Here's what seems like an official site. It's got photos of T-Earth, an X Japan logo right under the "Toshi...com is reporting that the Chile date will be part of Anime Festival , but based on the above I'm inclined to think that this is incorrect. If anyone can clarify or confirm/deny anything, please do

This is already several days old and I have no clue whether it's official or not, but here you go: http://www.otakuyakuza.cl/foro/viewtopic.php?t=12672 My Spanish isn't so hot, but it seems to say...the part about him planning to sing X Japan songs? And if this is all true: oh joy, X Japan songs at an anime convention. Nice one, Toshi. Not like T-Earth has anything to do with anime either

Anthem's new album will be called "BLACK EMPIRE" and will be released on October 29th! The "BLACK EMPIRE" TOUR will start with a special kick-off gig on October 31st.
