Now that X Japan has finally made it to North America with the September 25th launch of their first-ever North�American tour - first date at the L.A. Wiltern Theatre is SOLD OUT - they've got lots more planned for their western invasion, including the release of the band's brand new album in early 2011, the first with English lyrics.

The members of the band want you to be part of their American dream come true, so they are inviting you to sign up for Level II of X Japan's Blue Blood Fan Club so you can become eligible to win a trip to Los Angeles and party with�the band at their exclusive record release party.

Here's how it works:

The more friends you sign up, the better chance you'll have of winning, and you can use the website's scoreboard to help keep track of how many entries you've accumulated and where you rank in the contest.
