Dear Loser:

A blog dedicated to japanese bassist, Taiji Sawada (1966 -2011). Not only will I post about his stuff on X, but also of his other projects. I do not own any of the stuff I post here, unless I specifically state so. Enjoy! :D

Hi everybody. Hello, Hello.

Just a sweet reminder to not repost my gifs (because even when it's not watermarked I know if it's mine).... well, to be fair, anyone's anything that is not yours. If you do, have in mind I will chase you and make you apologise for being an idiot.

You know....general advice.

Byeeeeee~ (✿◠‿◠)

X no Sei to Shi: Part three, chapter fourteen “The last stage.”

It got the the point where there were only three days until I would leave X. After playing three days at Tokyo Dome, January 5th, 6th, and 7th of 1992, I would no longer be in X.

X no Sei to Shi: Part three, chapter twelve “Myself, unchanged.”

I think it’s actually that men never change.

Somehow even after becoming famous I didn’t change. Even after our major debut, my life may have made a 180 degree turn, but I fundamentally was not able to change.

“Men get serious when they have to.” That is the theory behind X.

At the time we formed, we were very quick to fight. This feeling wasn’t a leftover fragment- it remained strong with us.

X no Sei to Shi: Part three, chapter eight “Revolution.”

Honestly speaking, it was a harsh period. Rock music in the era in which we started our band was not yet mainstream.

Discussion time

Can we take a minute and talk about Taiji's scene in the Week End PV

Without questioning it, I originally thought that that person who shot him was a guy and he was like selling Taiji some drugs and then shot him because maybe he idk owed money to someone or some shit but they were friends and he didn't really want to do it because look how guilty that dude looks who shot him

But then when I showed my friend this shit she immediately told me that was a girl (I'm sorry heavy metal dudes and ladies looked a lot alike back then okay) and she was breaking up with him or some shit

So now I just want to know everyone's take on this scene, thanks :B
