X Japan Shows Sold Out in Seconds | February 25, 2008 |
 The final tickets for next month's three X Japan shows at Tokyo Dome are said to have sold out in a matter of seconds. The final batch of the 150,000 tickets for the hugely anticipated March 28-30 shows went on sale at 10am yesterday. Demand has been heavy on ticket sources such as the official fan site of group leader Yoshiki and sites such as J Rock Revolution aimed at overseas fans. Through the pre-sale, Japan Zone was fortunate enough to get hold of four tickets for the March 28 "X Japan - Night of Destruction" show. The group performed together last October for the first time in ten years, shooting a live video for the song "I.V." on the rooftop of the Aqua City mall in Tokyo.
• Talento and otaku favorite Nakagawa Shoko (22) apologized yesterday for a slip of the tongue. A regular panelist on the live TBS show "Sunday Japon", she was talking about the recent accident in which a fishing vessel was accidentally sunk by a Japanese Aegis-class naval destroyer. A tearful "Shokotan" said during the show that the incident was avoidable and referred to the "unnecessary deaths" of the father and son crew members, though they are still officially listed as missing. She apologized briefly at the end of the show and again on her popular blog. She said she had got carried away by her emotions and hoped the two would be found soon.
• Hollywood actor Hayden Christensen (26) arrived in Japan yesterday to promote his latest movie. "Jumper" opens in theaters on March 7.
