BXtE Fan Project break-up

Dear X JAPAN fans,

many of you might have already seen that BXtE's website isn't working anymore.
We are very sad to tell you this so short before Christmas, a time when everyone should be happy and celebrating with their families and friends, but the BXtE fan project won't exist any longer.

Everyone of us enjoyed the time working on that project and were happy about its growing from the first day on. Nevertheless, this break up happened due to heavy disagreements in BXtE's management that couldn't be solved and resulted in a separation of the project.

A huge part of the former BXtE team personally refuses to work under that name any longer, since it contradicts with our point of view how to support X JAPAN and get fans from all over Europe connected. The conditions and supposed aims changed so much, that it doesn't have much to do with what we started any longer and how we wanted that project to develop.

We are sorry for that incident and deeply apologize to everyone of you. Also, many apologies to X JAPAN. We wanted to support you with BXtE and really believed that it was a great opportunity to do so. But to us, this is not the initial project we started to built up anymore.

Anyway, outside of BXtE, we will always be there for X JAPAN and will go on supporting the band in our way and help wherever we can.

WE ARE X and thank you for everything!

X against AIDS

All the members of our team were very supportive and excited of the piece we will present you with in just a short while, however it is hard to express that in words now, after the sad news we received earlier today.

Still, as deadly diseases continue to claim the lives of both people we admire from afar and people near us, if we can do anything, no matter how apparently insignificant a gesture, to prevent them from hurting even more people, we should.

And this is exactly what we do today, on the World AIDS Day, by reminding or just telling you what X did to help raise awareness of the disease in Japan. So let’s all join X against AIDS.
