Shirasaka/Proceed recently spoke to X-JAPAN drummer Yoshiki about the band's upcoming reunion shows, slated for March in Tokyo, and plans for the future. The following is an excerpt from the interview courtesy of Jrock Revolution:

Q: Can you tell us something about the Tokyo Dome live shows?

Y: "There haven't been any concrete decisions made yet. We're still having meetings about that. But there will probably different songs at those two nights - well, not all different - and I'm contemplating creating totally different performances."

Q: Did you start rehearsing?

Y: "No, not yet. X doesn't really rehearse much. Or rather, I don't like rehearsal, I like to see just what will happen at any given concert. Well, for some songs we rehearse a lot, but with others we hardly do and just perform them as a challenge on stage."

Q: Do you have any plans after Tokyo Dome?

Y: "Well, I guess just as with the previous video it's another step on our way and we'll see how it goes on after we've taken that. We'll see if there's something we want to do next or if we'll end it if nothing like that comes up. I don't actually know yet, I'm just doing things as they come up without much planning ahead. With X, it seems regardless whether we make plans or not, when things are bad they're bad, and when they're good they're good. Naturally, there are concert offers from overseas and so on now, but that's all still under consideration. Well, after we start to rehearse for Tokyo Dome, if all the members feel we can do more, there's a good chance we'll do more."
