YOSHIKI Classical: Track list/release points of interest (1)

YOSHIKI is finally making his Solo Debut outside of Japan.
We know there's an album, a short performance of 5-6 songs comprising of songs from the album and maybe a few from X Japan.

The gig will be broadcast live at the following link or on Ustream (please google):-

Observations:-

1) The tracklist for both iTUNES and AMAZON in the US is interesting.
You'll notice that ROSA (Quartet Ver.) has been replaced with Say Anything.
Go check out the previews. There's only 2 songs that haven't been available to purchase previously. 
However, it's possible that the songs have been re-mastered as Anniversary seems to be mixed differently to EMII to my ears. Also the subtitle in the song name credits Yoshiki studio orchestra,
but maybe I'm hearing things. The piano sounds a little lower in the mix to my ears.

2) Anyway.. another interesting point to note, is the Japanese CD version
substitutes Say Anything for The Last Song. Again, until its released it could be a misprint.

...Also its possible that the CD will have a bonus track or that management decided to change
things up and try and get some extra sales.

3) Amazon USA seems to be the cheapest place at USD 9.99 for the full download.
(iTunes is USD 11.99).. and Japanese fans must buy the CD at just over 3000 JPY since there is no digital release.

I'll end here cos my keyboard is going crazy...and the cursor is jumping all over the place!
(must be the planets aligning ;)
