Title: Who's the fifth member in the SUPER BAND? Your predictions...
Post by: Yumeko on January 08, 2007, 05:16:50 PM
Okay; first I want to say that any new information you find about this project should be posted in this thread ---> Gackt and Yoshiki SUPER BAND!!! (http://impact-media.me.uk/forums/index.php/topic,1408.0.html)

This thread is simply made to post your predictions so that we don't clutter the other thread.  As I'd appreciate that thread just have information and rumors and stuff.

Anywho...We already KNOW that Yoshiki, Gackt and Sugizo are in the band.  It's very recently been rumored that Miyavi will be in the band.  So assuming that Miyavi is in band (at least I'm assuming :P), who is the fifth member?

As I predicted waaay back...members of this band will...

1. Have been in a successful band
2. Have/Had a successful solo career
3. Be super famous in Japan
4. Have international appeal and be famous in the states
5. Be known for being good at what they do. (ie like Miyavi is famous for being a great guitarist)
6. Be workaholics


I don't know much about Sugizo, but what I do know about the other members is that they are ALL workaholics and really get into what they do.  And all of the 3 definate and now strongly rumored Miyavi; they all fit the criteria I've come up with.

So who's the bassist?  Who will be that last member to be announced that will *POW* really get it into your head that this IS a SUPER BAND?!

So here are my predictions and explanations for why I picked them and I hope you will post your predictions and opinions as well.

OKAY!!!

Toshiya from Dir en grey...

He's a famous bassist, in a successful band, is famous in Japan, has international appeal and doing concerts here with Dir en grey, hard worker I think, and great at playing bass.  However...he hasn't had a solo career and I don't know how well he'd mix with the other members of this super band.  I don't know Toshiya well enough to say "yah he'd get along with the other guys" or whatever.  But he does fit most of the criteria.  People -know- who Toshiya is and that he's a great bassist.

Hakuei from Penicillin...

Okay...I don't know very much about Hakuei or if he can play the bass.  I do know he plays guitar; so maybe he would take up the bass for this.  Again this is all speculation  based on that Penicillin is popular, been around, Hakuei has done side projects and stuff, and I see him ALL the time in magizines I buy.  Mainly Gothic and Lolita Bible magizine. 

Reita from GazettE...

I don't know if he is an -amazing- bassist.  But GazettE is way popular and I think Reita has the international appeal as well as famous in Japan, but I don't know about the other things.  I'm not sure if he's AS famous as the other men.  He might not be famous enough.

Hyde, need I say more?...

Okay, was and is in a successful band.  Has a very successful solo career.  He's way famous in Japan and way famous here and has done concerts here with Laruku and by himself.  He's good at what he does and he's a workaholic I think.  Now does he play bass?  I don't know; I know he plays guitar.  He is buddies with Gackt so there's a connection to the band and I think announcing him as a 5th member would REALLY get everyone crazy about this band if they aren't already.  I think he could be a runner for 5th in the band.

Aki from SID...

Okay I know this is a stretch.  Anywho, SID is popular in Japan and here.  I think enough people know who Aki is but is he really as famous as the other guys...I don't think so.  However he's very lively on stage and I think all good bassist should be exciting to watch as they don't get the best parts usually music wise.

Rose ex member of The TRAX...

This was a rumor I heard I believe in the other thread.  Trax if you don't already know is a increasingly popular Krock band that is also gaining popularity in Japan now.  However Rose left the band to pursue his own thing.  Whether that is music related or not; I'm not really sure.  However from what I know about him; I would guess he would stay involved in music as he plays many different instruments, drums, piano, guitar, who knows what else.  He also composes music and sings and raps.  Yoshiki also formed The TRAX so there is a connection to the band through Yoshiki.  He does have some international appeal; but I really don't know if he's famous enough.

I think any of those selections are pretty doubtful. I was thinking more of Hitoki (ex-Kuroyume) or maybe CRAZY COOL JOE (ex-DEAD END) or even Heath. If Tetsu (L'arc~en~Ciel) wasn't so busy doing his solo thing and L'arc, I'd say him, maybe. He did indeed recently leave Creature Creature as well, so he might have some more free time.

One of your reasons was "super famous". Toshiya isn't super famous, nor is Reita. Reita and The GazettE are certainly on their way up, but I wouldn't say they're up to par with the popularity of the people already in the band. I don't know where people get these misconceptions that Dir en grey is this hugely popular band in Japan either, because they're not. Hakuei and Hyde aren't even known bassists so that's even more of a stretch.

If anything, Sugizo is probably the most "workaholic" of them all since the man has been studying and mastering music since the age of three. He plays a wide variety of instruments from piano to guitar to violin. I'm confident that his 30+ years of music training will be a huge help to this band.

Misaki Alcohol (ex-Makaroni), he's not famous and rather than workaholic he's alcoholic, but he's a great bas splayer and he will sneak into the band by poisoning the other super star members, he'll end up breaking up the band and the entire world will die of sadness ^____^

CRAZY COOL JOE.

When the super group got announced, I mentioned that I believed Sugizo and him would be members. Sugizo has gotten confirmed, so now CCJ would make everything perfect.

HAHA yah I know Hakuei and Hyde for bassist might be a stretch LOL; but they're both people that have been around.  Reita...yah I knew that was a stretch as well.  I really don't think Toshiya is -that- much of a stretch.  And perhaps Dir en grey isn't as popular as I thought; but they have a lot of international appeal.  And I'm not claiming to know everything about Jrock.  But I think whoever is in this band will be people that even if you aren't familiar with their music; you've heard their name.  And CCJ and some of these other predictions...I've honestly never heard of them.  Now Tetsu...I didn't think of him...he's a good runner for 5th position.

I think Misaki Alcohol would actually be more probable than that one...  :P

I dunno, Tetsu from l'arc is very probable.

more than likely its gonna be someone who is not currently in a band and is known for their bass playing. so im guessing its gonna be either j, hitoki, iida seiichi (ex craze), or kenjilaw (or what ever the hell he is going by now),

Well, that might be a problem, as much as I like J. J and Sugizo, in LUNA SEA, had many conflicts about musical differences, so that would probably resurface in this band.

And so far, I think our biggest leap is Yu~ki. I'd seriously be disappointed if Yoshiki even considered him. :\ My vote would go to Hitoki.

Most indies bassists seem rather... improbable. Even Toshiya seems to be an unlikely choice, seeing how he's already an active member of a highly successful band (and, in turn, busy with it as well). :|

Lmao. I was honestly super-secretly expecting the three other men to go rob hide's grave~ and from there, just pretend that he's alive

If Hide was still alive; I'm sure they would want him involved with this.  He was a such a talented person and loved by many.

Some random suggestions.

Junji (ex-Laputa)
Is having a solo project right now (Halation), but I guess that's nothing he coulnd't stop.

Takashi Kaneuchi (ex-Die in Cries)
Is now active in BUG though.

Daita (ex-Siam Shade)
He was on guitar in Siam Shade alright, but I'm sure he would be a great bassist too. I think he's doing solo stuff at the moment, so why not.

A while back I thought maybe Kisaki; but after his recent tax evasion crap; I really don't think Yoshiki would want him.  I would hope Hyde would be in the band.  But I think Tetsu would be great.

bass.  If you can play guitar; you can play bass.  And even if he isn't known for bass or the best bass player...it's Hyde...so I really don't care.

That's just silly to say. Just because you can play guitar, doesn't make you a good bass player. Also, let's try to be realistic about this fifth member. Not stuff like "I want it to be so-and-so person for no reason in particular".
Title: Re: Who's the fifth member in the SUPER BAND? Your predictions...
Post by: Yumeko on January 11, 2007, 03:00:44 PM
that's not silly to say.  My brother plays guitar and he said that if you are a good guitarist then you can play bass guitar.  And I know from my own experience of playing alto sax and switching instruments several times that it was very easy to pick up tenor sax and bari sax. 

And I don't see anything wrong with wanting to root for your favorites.  Hell, months ago I predicted Miyavi might be in it and most people laughed at the idea of him being in it and now it looks like he's definately involved.  Hyde seems more plausible to me then Miyavi.  And I'm not the only person who would like to see Hyde a part of this project.  But also, in my previous post I was joking a little bit too; so don't take it too seriously.

Anywho, my brother even brought up the point that Yoshiki could pick another guitarist and the three guitarists could all switch around.  There's no doubt in my mind Miyavi and Suigizo could handle the bass as well.
Title: Re: Who's the fifth member in the SUPER BAND? Your predictions...
Post by: Formless on January 11, 2007, 06:30:18 PM
Not that I'm doubting any one of them could play the bass, but I think Yoshiki would rather have steady, experienced musicians on each instrument. So far, that's what it proves to be with all four musicians, so I don't doubt it for the bass position.

am I damn stupid that i cant play bass(skillfull) although I play guitar?  >:(

btw ... i would choose j or tetsu 'cause the age fits the group (exept for miyavi XD but I still dont think he would choose thoese three ... er, "oldies"  :P)

yah, like I compare bass to the bari sax because the parts they get are the same.  And alto sax and guitar are alike in that they both get the melodies and stuff.  Also, in school, it's recommended you play alto before you switch to bari sax.  If you can handle a more difficult instrument that plays faster music then you can handle something that really only gets quarters, eighths, and whole notes the majority of the time.

No, you're not. Bass can be just as difficult to play as guitar, what with trying to play slap in alternating 32nd to 64th notes, with some possible harmonics tossed in. Generalizing and saying that "knowing how to guitar skillfully = automatically being awesome" at bass is silly. Knowing how to play a guitar can help you familiarize with playing bass, but it's not the same thing and doesn't immediately make you super skilled at it.
Title: Re: Who's the fifth member in the SUPER BAND? Your predictions...
Post by: Yumeko on January 12, 2007, 05:13:18 AM
^ I agree.  When I switched to bari I had to make some changes and get used to it.  The weight, the different amount of air that had to be pushed through the instrument, etc.  However, overall it was a smooth transition and didn't take much time to get used to it.  That's why I said that switching from guitar to bass would be easy.  But I didn't say "knowing how to play guitar skillfully = automatically being awesome".  I just said -if- you can play guitar; then you can play bass.  Anywho...it's not a big deal.  I really have no idea -who- Yoshiki will pick.  And I'm not ruling anyone out quite yet.  I just have this feeling that whoever is the last member to be added will be someone -very- well known amongst jrock fans.

'm really surprised no one has mentioned Jiro of Glay.
He would fit in perfectly, especially since GLAY has close relations with Yoshiki.  Not to mention Glay's popularity.  I'm not a major fan of Glay, I still really like most of their stuff, but I really think that Jiro would have a good chance at being the fifth member

PS: er, i also can play some stupid powerchord licks with bass, but when it comes to slap (on a-guitar I can handly it ... at least a lil bit XD) or even that smothness and mellowness i'll pass v_v"

Actually, all the members of GLAY are very talented. Just because you don't like them for.. whatever unjustified reason, doesn't mean they're not talented. Hisashi and Takuro are probably some of the best guitarists out there in Jrock. Most of the time, most GLAY haters haven't even listened to a GLAY album. They just do it because they're popular and it's the cool thing to do.

I don't mean the songtext ('cause I dont understand  :P) but the music is so ... er, ... cant explain, no song was something special and new for me, demo- thats what I expect XD ok three songs I like: missing you, tomadoi and two bell silence ... as simple as they are!

Well, again, just because they're simple structured doesn't mean they're not a talented group. Gackt's music has been pretty simple structured as well for the past.. 3 albums, but he's in the group. I've never found Miyavi's song structures to be that complicated either. But that doesn't make them untalented in my eyes.

Im a guitarist ... well, and so i might "see" songs with other ears XD! Which means; I particularly value the guitar & bass riffs, licks, sollos aso. the most, more than only: rocks this song? You see, I WANT to hear something creative, something i didn't expect or wasn't played in past, like the (most) mainstream-scale of C/G/F major-chart-music. that makes the difference and the recognition! Glay songs dont give me that! OK miyavis pop albs are also simple minded, but the acoustic one is very unique and were new and crazy when he first comes up with that a-gita-splapping and thats the point!

Glays bass player might be talented, but when he always plays such things he cant use his talent and show off! XD ... er, now im out of words XD ...

PS: WHAT about Yukke from MUCC?!?! hes one of worlds best bass players, for sure, he gots the feeling! yeah  ;) :) ;D

Hey, quick question: Does anyone even know what sound this super band is going to have? Wouldn't the bassist have to have a particular style in order to be a part of all this? I mean, yeah, talented artists can basically play any style but it all comes down to preference...and with Gackt and Yoshiki in the band it looks like it'll eventually turn into a power-battle and the rest of the band will have no choice but to follow, at least as far as musical direction goes. That's just what I think though...*shrugs*.

PS: WHAT about Yukke from MUCC?!?! hes one of worlds best bass players, for sure, he gots the feeling! yeah  ;) :) ;D

Yukke's good, but I wouldn't call him one of the best bass players in the world. I think Ka~yu of Janne da Arc is far more talented, and a better candidate, as he plays more varied styles of music.

I don't think there will be a power stuggle.  But from what I gather, Yoshiki and Gackt are the ones that started this project and will probably be the ones to sort of guide it.  Although with Yoshiki's background with helping bands and putting together bands; I think he's the one holding the reigns.  I don't know what exactly their musical style will be; although I swear someone said or read somewhere that it will be rock; but we kinda all knew that anyways LOL.  Right now I'm just hyped about the members and who all will be in it and what the name of the band will be.  I think with who is in it so far we can count on it being rock.  Gackt might be more in pop genre now or skating a fine line between pop and rock; but let's not forget his background.  Anywho...whatever they do I'm sure it'll be good.

Actually, Gackt's been more "rock" than he ever has been. DIABOLOS wasn't very varied, but its musical base was rock, as was REDEMPTION. I dunno about his new single. Might be a ballad from the cover, but I think Gackt has a good amount of rocking ability in him.

I know they all have a rock style to them, or they did at one point, I'm just having a hard time putting Miyavi's guitar playing together with Gackt's vocals...to me it's just a weird combination...but that's just me again lol.

Well for the most part I've always considered Gackt a bit more on the rock side.  But you can't deny a lot of his music being very pop and ballad.  That's why I say he is skating a fine line.  Diabolos and Redemption were definately rock and I couldn't have been happier of that after his Love Letter album.  I still have (have always had) him listed under JRock on my Ipod :P

ermm... that outburst being said... i wouldn't want him in the group anyway lol I'm actually kind of not looking forward to the group  (and is still holding out hope miyavi won't join ...unless i'm late cuz i haven't been online lately and he actually has o.O) .... not only because my extreme dislike of gackt will make me not want to take a listen -sigh- i like sugizo but not enough ...but then miyavi would be pulling on my heart strings and i really don't think he fits in that band either ...then again we don't know the sound the band will have either but for some reason i highly doubt it will have that miyavi-ness to it quirkiness to it ..and if yukke joined -death- but i highly highly highly highly doubt he would anyway busy with Mucc  yippe!!!

i actually think the most plausible one would be jiro of glay =] ... that would make most sense to me ... even though i'm not really a big glay fan ( i kind of agree with maru nothing really stands out to me but they are okay and i like a few songs) I think he would fit in with the band and he kind of meets the criteria that was stated on the first page ... except for the fact glay is still together and doing stuff

so in that case hitoki would be next in my opinion

and someone said testu of laruku earlier ... I can totally see that happening if only he wasn;t still in lar'c but ...eh lar'c hasn't been doing too much recently I don't think so he may have the time ...

oh and i'm not a huge yoshiki fan myself so when the news of the band first broke i wasn't really excited, i was more like "WTF o.O seriously strange..."  but then sugizo joined and i thought o.O omk ok now this is getting interesting and then the possibility of meevs joining ...now im kind of getting interested in what exactly is going on with this project ... more so what kind of music will they be making o.O ... but anyway ...this is not the thread for that ...so i shall shut up now

Post by: Yumeko on January 19, 2007, 03:23:30 PM
I don't know who Haruhiko Ash is.  But I'm like 99% sure Klaha wouldn't be in it.  Keep in mind this fifth member needs to be able to play guitar/bass exceptionally well.  Can Klaha even play guitar?  I don't know.  Also; Klaha has been on hiatus for a long time.  I think due to some health problems.  But I don't think the 5th member would be another frontman too.  Gackt's already filled that position and I don't think he wants to share the spot light with another frontman.

I know this probably sounds shallow.  But I only say this based on the 4/5 members (assuming MYV is in it) that are in the super band.  But I really believe the 5th member is going to be just as good looking as the rest of the guys.  That's why I think some people wouldn't be in it.

I hate to say it but I don't think any of the M+M members are really all that talented except for Kozi. As a bassist, I always found Yu~Ki to be sort of mediocre.

Oh, and I know this is a stretch too, but I found it to be an interesting thought. Since the band is supposed to be based in the US.. has anyone considered the last member may be an American?  :o

I haven't heard anything new for awhile.  Probably we'll eventually get confirmation Miyavi is in it and then we'll start hearing rumors about the 5th member.  When that is finally confirmed then it'll be a little while and we'll probably get the band name and stuff.
Title: Re: Who's the fifth member in the SUPER BAND? Your predictions...
Post by: D00m_Panda on February 11, 2007, 05:42:43 PM
^ It won't be a vocalist.  Or a guitarist.  Or anyone else not a bass player.  Why?  Because Gackt, Sugizo, Myv, and Yoshiki have all play instruments other than vocals, guitar, guitar, and piano respectively but are all playing their main instrument in the band.  It will also be someone with industry cred on the bass and a reputation for being the best, as well as an international reputation.
So I think it will be:

1. Tetsu (L'Arc~en~Ciel)
Pro: Was ranked in top 50 bass players in international magazine.  L'Arc internationally is famous.  (probably) knows Gackt since MM and L'Arc were friends back in the day.
Con: Is currently in L'Arc and Tetsu69, although neither seem very active right now and technically Myv, Gackt, and Yoshiki have other projects as well.

2. Hitoki (ex-Kuroyume)
Pro: legendary mad bass skillz, v. famous in Japan
Con: Is Hitoki still in music?  Also, not as well known internationally and not known to be friends with anyone already in the superband.

3. Jiro (Glay)
Pro: v. famous in Japan, also famous internationally, got start on Exstasy records
Con: Glay is still active

4. Toshiya (Dir en grey)
Pro: knows Yoshiki, internationally really really famous
Con: Diru's notoriously crazy touring schedule, Diru is not nearly as famous in Japan as X, Luna Sea, or Gackt (but about the same as Miyavi, so you never know . . .)

5. Seiichi (exCraze, exZi:Kill)
Pro: somewhat famous in Japan among long time Jrock fans, got start on Exstasy records, does not have a current project
Con: No one has heard of Seiichi in the US

6. Heath (ex-X)
Pro: knows Yoshiki, is a decent bassist, famous outside Japan
Con: has dissappeared from the music scene, X is already represented by Yoshiki

People I don't think it will be:
J (if he does fight with Sugizo; Luna Sea already represented)
Yu~ki (much as I like MM, is not a very good bassist)
Kisaki (also not very good at bass, not famous in Japan outside of Visual indies fans, is probably difficult to work with, is in trouble for tax evasion)
Taiji (does not get along with Yoshiki.  at all.)
ANYONE WHO DOES NOT PLAY BASS AS THEIR MAIN INSTRUMENT

if toshi does go back to X, im sure yoshiki will do the solo thing with gackt and do the X thing with the other guys.   it wouldnt be the first time he's had to multi-task a music career

Masaya's cult has been broken up for some time now since Masaya's arrest.

Wow...as I come in onto the tail end of this conversation

I would love for it to be Hitoki...I adored him.
...however I doubt it

I'm not so sure about this choice, but it is possible that it could be Ka-Yu from Janne da Arc.  They announced that they were going to be cutting back on activities to allow the members time for solo exploration.

....and Penicillin's bassist, Gisho, just left...

*shrug* that's my 2 cents *fades back into lurker-ville*

I don't really know much about Gisho...but in my opinion, Ka-yu is pretty good.  I wouldn't say that he's the absolute best that I've ever heard, but he does have skill and Janne da Arc is pretty famous in Japan *shrug*

There is still a aprt of me that really hopes that it's Hitoki cause *love* I absolutely adore Kuroyume

you can rule out kisaki. he said himself that after the last live of phantasmagoria he is "never setting foot on a stage again."

Well it is looking more and more like Miyavi is the 4th member.  It'll be confirmed at Jrock revolution.  So anymore predictions for a fifth member?  If they don't pick a well known bassist; it could just be another guitarist and all the guitarists will switch from lead to rhythm to bass.  Or it could just be any super famous jrocker that can handle playing the bass.  Whoever it is, I think this guy will be SUPER famous.  He's being mentioned last.  So he's got to be good.  I don't care if I'm laughed at, but having Hyde in there would be awesome *ducks flying tomatos*

Just because I like hyde and would like to see him in the band; does not make me a 'fangirl'.  Secondly; we do know there are going to be 5 members because Yoshiki said so.  And I'm 99.99% sure Miyavi is the fourth member of the super band.  The fact is there are a lot of bassists out there but none of them really stand out as being famous for being especially good at bass.  There are some...but I'm sure they are busy with their other bands and also; not just any bassist is going to get into this band.  There are certain requirements and although those haven't been stated; you can kind of tell why they are by the confirmed members that are in it.  And yes, Hyde is a singer...but he plays guitar and quite well I think.  So I'm sure he could handle bass.  Anywho, this is not the flame forum.  I'm being respectful; as is mostly everyone who has posted in here; I would hope you would pay me and everyone else the same respect even if you don't agree with our oppinions or guesses.

^I like Gackt's singing when he's not doing ballads.  His singing for ballads is annoying as hell.  When he's singing a rock song or something faster paced; he's much better.  Besides, I'm excited Gackt is in it.  I've always wanted to see him live.

^besides he's one of the most famous vocalists and has a very strong following in the united states.

Not to be rude though, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but this thread is for discussing who might be the fifth member.  It's not to complain about whose already in it.  If you want to complain about it you can start a thread in the flame pit.

I love Hyde.  I love his lyrics and his style much MUCH better than Gackt.  However I saw his Faith tour dvd and was surprised to find he is a terrible singer live.  That was a big let down.  So actually I'm glad the singer is Gackt.  He does very good live.  I saw the Diabolos concert too and thought he did very well.

yea i agree but yumeko's right too he's not a great live singer...but i don't like the other guy either way so yea hyde would've been my choice too...considering the criteria anyway...

hmmm... do wonder who the bassist shall be though i just can't imagine who would actually fit in and does follow the criteria ...maybe it will be someone completely from left field ...afterall i wouldn't have though miyavi in a million years ...
