JAM PROJECT is set to perform at OTAKON in Baltimore MD on 08.08.08!!
Otakon's 1st musical announcement promises to be EPIC with the vocal talents of anime masters Kageyama Hironobu (from DBZ/Transformers Japan/Zenki), Masami Okui (Tekkaman Blade 2/Utena/Ray the Animaition), Yoshiki Fukuyama (Fire Bomber/Hummingbird), Rica Matsumoto (Pokemon), Masaaki Endoh (GaoGaiGar, Power Rangers Japan, Daigunder) & Hiroshi Kitadani (One Piece)....
I will be an incredable show that maybe feature some solo songs from each artists as well as Jam Project's epic disography from such hits as Soul Taker, Ex-Driver, Gravion, Machine Robo Rescue, & Super Robot Wars!!
This will be a rare opportunity to see this band, who 1st gave us clues on Halloween 2007 that they would be starting a world tour & now our kicking that off with the East Coast's most amazing Japanese culture convention Otakon in the 1st Mariner Arena (perhaps Otakon's last time with this venue) in Baltimore, a true "Once in a LIVEtime chance" to see these legendary singers!!
This is a particular treat for me being a longtime fan of Fukuyama (over 12 years) & sticking with him all these years with Fire Bomber, Hummingbird, & solo... plus veteran music gods Kageyama, & Masami, I will be there for sure enjoying their amazing performances!!
2008 continues to be the year of J-rock with amazing acts you don't wanna miss!!
JAM PROJECT ~VICTORY (live)

X JAPAN "I.V." English lyrics...
* The following lyrics may not be 100% accurate, but are an online attempt (by another source) untill the official lyrics are published...
TOSHI:
Needles are piercing through my skin
I'll tell you the feeling what it's like
Is life just all about deception?
Please don't be a part of a fairy tale,
but you're so young to play with thy own will
Should I trade the breath of my life for freedom?
(In the rain) I'm calling you, dear
(Find the way) Can't you see me standing right here?
(Feel my pain) Life's bleeding from fear
(Find its place) I will give it straight from my vein
YOSHIKI (whispered) : Needles are piercing through my skin
I don't fear the f**king life
This never meant I can't sit by
They say as if it takes me somewhere
Just let me swallow the faith by injection
Life better be rushing to my head, my love
I've played with this game before to find a piece of my true self!
I'm lost within!
(In the rain) I'm calling you, dear
(Find the way) Can't you see me standing right here?
(Feel my pain) Life's bleeding from fear
(Find its place) I will give it straight from my vein
band solo:
I'm feeling my pain
Do you feel where it's been
Can you cope with history of the world,
when it's sad part of life?
Can set the shadows fade,
forever fade away
I'm calling you, dear.
Can't you see me standing right here?
Life's bleeding from fear.
I'll give it straight from my vein.
(In the rain) I'm calling you, dear
(Find the way) Can't you see me standing right here?
(Feel my pain) Life's bleeding from fear
(Find its place) I will give it straight from my vein...
