YesAsia Editorial Description

Turn up YOSHIKI's Eternal Melody II treats!

Multi talent Yoshiki's, Eternal Melody that featured orchestrated versions of his band X-Japan's hit songs went straight to the top of the charts selling a record breaking 300,000 copies and instantly rewrote the history of instrumental albums. Following the regrettable disbanding of X-Japan, Yoshiki later signed up as a full-time member of the sensational J-pop band globe and now bombards you with his latest solo instrumental surprise Eternal Melody II! Brimming with unforgettable orchestrated tracks, including "I'll be your love", the official theme song to "EXPO 2005 Aichi", plus 4 never before released songs, X-Japan's "Without You", Yoshiki's piano concerto "Anniversary", "Unnamed Song", and "Red Christmas" from Yoshiki's new project Violet UK, this unique musical experience promises to get you addicted for good!

Eternal Melody Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
The first time I listened to the track, Kimi Dake Dakara, I felt this incredible sadness. The song intertwines Yoshiki's recurring theme of sad melody with the lively Bach influenced music which is full of hope. The composition is not perfect, but outstanding and you get to appreciate his root in classical training. To me, this song represents Yoshiki's definition of Eternal Melody. It is sadness, beauty and eternal hope. It will give you a good cry if you are in a sad mood and of course you have to like Bach and Yoshiki.

A GREAT MUSICIAN!............. Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This CD makes me understand why the legendary x-japan was and still is so popular. The group leader, Yoshiki, in my opinion is not only a first rate pianist and drummer (?), but a great composer as well. Listening to I'LL BE YOUR LOVE makes me want to tear again and the Bach influenced harpsichord music in Kimi Dake Dakara is full of life. (It also helps that Bach is my favorite composer.) The grant finally, the "Anniversary" Piano Concert in C minor is Yoshiki's version of his symphony incorporating the best from his classical training with influences from the composers mentioned by all the previous reviewers, adding his own version of music that to me is heart felt and touching. You can find the recurring theme of his music all through out in the three tracks that I have mentioned here. The way that Yoshiki was able to bring emotional climatic changes in his music is amazing, so dramatic and soothing. It is music from his SOUL and his passion that makes it so moving.

I agree with the previous reviewer that the CD have some commercial and popular music elements in it. I usually don't like instrumental music, but I recommend getting this CD to see what a great and clever composer Yoshiki is, if you are x-japan's fan which I'm and very much so.

And here's to Yoshiki: I wish you good health and speedy recovery from your injury and all the best!

 Bravo!!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is a great album. Quite a big transformation of Yoshiki's Rock music to Classical music. Although It stated on the cover that it is "a classical album by Yoshiki", it is not so "class" and still a bit commercially composed/arranged so that most of the people can still accept it. In addition, there is a hidden track in Disc I, which is a very touching song, it sounds to touch your heart, make your tears rolling in your eyes. If you like modern classical/sentimental instrumental music/X-Japan's Song/Yoshiki's composition & his piano performance, You definitely won't be regret buying it.

Great Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Seriously, this music will make you melt. I felt like crying when I listen to each song... It really touches people alot. The music and arrangements are perfect. It's not because I'm a X-Japan fan that I bought this, it's because of Yoshiki's talent. You'll really regret it if you don't buy this.
