X JAPAN NEW ALBUM & US Tour!! @_@

In a press conference today, X-JAPAN announced that they had 90% completed work on a new album. ^_^
The band revealed that a number of the tracks on it will be in English or re-recorded songs into English.
Further details, such as a title or release date (rumored to be October/Autumn), have not been announced, but will be announced soon.
It is rumored that the "fan vote" taken for a proposed "best of" album in 2009 was used to help pick the re-recorded songs for the new album...
Therefore they are planning to release "Jade" as their first single in the United States, followed by later releases of "Born to Be Free" and "I.V.".
The full album details also mentioned well known songs like "Art of Life", "Tears"(in English), "Rusty Nail" (in English), and "Kurenai".
The band has a new "Dragon Logo" & plans on a North American Tour with dates in New York, Los Angeles, & Chicago all mentioned!!
