The Weekly Quickie: X-Japan, VIRULENT, Nihilizm, Matenrou Opera, REIGN, Synk;yet, Arlequin

I'd like to start this week off with a good mystery.  X-Japan drummer, Yoshiki, has the jrock world all stirred up again with a mysterious tweet in which he asked his followers what festival they liked.  He mentioned several in the tweet, such as Summer Sonic, Fuji Rock and A-Nation and gave fans the opportunity to voice their opinion.  Could this mean there's a festival in X-Japan's future? Probably not, but it's fun to dream.
