That's sad I hope he will be well soon.

PATA (guitarist) was admitted to the ICU at a hospital in Tokyo on January 15, 2016. He was diagnosed with a life-threatening condition, which included a severe blood clot. He recently came out of the ICU and his condition has thankfully stabilized, however his doctors do not consider him fit to fly until he has made a full recovery.

Hasn't been eating? For a month? That does not sound as if he's getting better...

I'm wondering if he meant he's on an IV getting supplements.

SXSW Interview with Yoshiki

[Aderianu]

YOSHIKI talks about PATA's condition - album to be released in Autumn?

YOSHIKI appeared at "Shin Keizai Summit 2016 (新経済サミット2016)" on April 7th, and during his appearance he mentioned about current condition of PATA", who was hospitalized recently, and about X JAPAN's upcoming new album.

"He (PATA) has got out of the hospital, and is getting better little by little", YOSHIKI said about PATA's condition. He also talked about their upcoming album, which's release has been currently postponed. "It will be released sooner than you all think. I don't think anyone believes this when I say it though", he laughed, saying that the album will be released before the postponed Wembley Arena show. When asked if it would be released this Autumn, YOSHIKI commented: "How did you know? You're on a very good track."

“His health is improving slowly but surely,” Yoshiki says. “We can’t really say when he’s going to be 100% recovered. But we are moving forward. Some members are playing his part as well as recording. I’m even playing too. I would say the record’s going to be out this Fall. Then we want to go back to [regular] activity to tour and performing somewhere around the same time. Pata may not be able to join in full on stage, because I also don’t want to give him any pressure. When he went to the ICU, and that was January 16th this year, some of the members were in a recording studio in Los Angeles. So Toshi, the vocalist, and Sugizo, the guitar player, were in the recording studio. We were trying to finish the album. We were working almost 24/7. Then we heard the news, Pata is in the ICU. ‘Can I talk to him?’ We couldn’t even get to him.”

“He was in the ICU for one week,” Yohiki continues. “One week later his manager says, ‘Yoshiki, He wants to talk to you.’ Then Pata was saying, ‘What should I do about Wembley? What about Wembley?’ I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ ‘I need to do Wembley.’ All he could think of was Wembley.” The doctor detailed there was no way Pata was physically able to proceed until he healed. “So I talk to the doctor,” Yoshiki recalls. “‘He has a blood clot. There’s no way we’re going to let him travel on airplane. He can get to Wembley. He may even be able to do something but he’s never going to come back. That’s the end of his life.’ I said, ‘I can’t do that.’ There’s no way I’m losing another member.” His guidance for Pata was to maintain his recovery as long as it took. “So I said, ‘Pata forget about Wembley. Well, we can’t forget about it. But as the leader of the band, I’ll take care of it. Even though I’m going to get all the blame for anything. I’ll do that. Pata, concentrate on fixing your body,’” he details. “I don’t want to give him any pressure. X Japan will start this October touring again. It may even happen that he can join on a few songs. We might have to have a support member.“

YOSHIKI (X JAPAN) has donated 10 million JPY (approximately $90,499 USD) to support victims of the Kumamoto earthquake. This donation was made by his nonprofit foundation Yoshiki Foundation America.

YOSHIKI, who was in Japan at the time of the disaster, was disheartened by the amount of damage caused by the earthquake. He wanted to do something for the victims, so he donated 10 million JPY to Japanese Red Cross' Kumamoto Earthquake Relief Fund.

"As with the time of the Tohoku Earthquake, I am impressed at how orderly the disaster stricken areas are and also how composed the victims are. I want to continue to show the world this Japanese spirit, which has been admired worldwide," he expressed.
