It’s been a long long while !
Current mood: busy

Hi everybody !

God! I haven't updated this VUK page for a long time.

I've been recording VUK along with X Japan, S.K.I.N., and other projects.

Everything is really important for me, but VUK is my baby….. which I've been trying to give birth to…..

Well it's a very hard laboring process. But eventually the time will come.

So please don't forget Violet UK!!……  mmmm…..

I just uploaded a song called "Blue Butterfly".

This song (even though it's not the final version), became the theme song for a Film called "Catacombs"……

But my secret weapons of VUK (the songs I really like)….. I will upload them sometime in the near future!

Love,

YOSHIKI

PS

Well, I just got back from driving.

There are so many things happening around me…..

And it's very exciting, but….. I'm a little bit stressed out…..

So I put VUK and X Japan into my Ferrari, and I fucking blasted the sound as loud as can be, and drove to Malibu xxx miles an hour….. AHHH that felt good!!!

Now it's the time of day for me to practice the piano…… mmmm.....

AHHH….. HANON exercises are so boring….. Maybe…… I should skip it and play BACH tonight……

....mmmm….. maybe I should eat some chocolate cake first, and I should…..

Well I'm just procrastinating….. ha ha ha ha!

I'm back!
Current mood: lonely

Hi everyone. I'm back in LA, trying to get back to my everyday recording habit.

Some people have asked me about my TV interview last week in Japan......and yes I was a little out of it. People thought I was depressed or mad........but I was just thinking of the desert for my dinner, and the next day's drink.... I ended up bringing a French red wine to Hides' grave site, and had a drink with him. (well, really, I was kind of alone.................)

Well: I'm gonna keep on rockin. (I mean recording)

Love

YOSHIKI

PS   This week I'm planning to play drums a lot! (just so I can get back in shape).....'cause I ate too much pudding in Japan.

YOU ROCK!
Current mood: anxious

We haven't released the CD, we haven't held a concert for VUK, or even finished the recording.........yet.

Because of you spreading the word all over........I am getting a lot of offers; such as magazine interviews, TV appearances, concert performances... from all over the world.

I'm a little overwhelmed...... I mean, I'm a fuckin lucky person to have fans like you.... You Rock!!!!

LOVE,

YOSHIKI

PS

I'm gonna be in Tokyo for the next week. I'll be doing interviews with Y-mobile, Y-net, etc..... and I'm gonna eat Japanese pudding...... yummy yummy!!!

Sleepless
Current mood: creative

Yesterday, after the long hours of  VUK recording, I went home and tried to sleep, but I could't. So I started playing the piano......Bach, Chopin, X Japan, VUK or whatever came to my fingers. I ended up playing more than 8 fucking hours. Now I'm back in the studio recording again. I'm not tired, but my wrists hurt. Not from the piano, but more from computer programming of the songs.

It even pains me to type this blog, but I just wanted to say thank you for supporting Violet UK!!!

The doctors have told me to take it easy, but I don't care anymore, I'm gonna keep on rockin 'till I finish the album. Then I can perform in concert....... in front of you, instead of alone in my living room.

TOUR
Current mood: grateful

I can't believe how many letters I have been getting from so many different countries! As I said on my own Myspace page, I wish I could respond to all of your messages. I am working day and night to finish this album. Maybe after a few shows in the US, I may want to do a world tour.

 Thank you so much for supporting me and being who you are!!!

LOVE,

YOSHIKI
