X Japan were one of the first visual bands in Japan and
also one of the most popular. They started in teh mid-80's
with the union of school friends Yoshiki (drums and piano)
and Toshi (lead vocals). After that the joined with a
couple other guys and formed the band X.
They released the two singles 'I'll kill you' and 'Orgasm'
and made it on two compilations albums with other Japanese
newcomer bands. At that time Pata (guitar) and Taiji (bass)
joined the band.
In 1988 they made their first album 'Vanishing Vision' and
hired a second guitarist, hide. The album was released on
Yoshikis new record label Extasy. It was a great success
and they changed to Sony records. More albums ('Blue Blood'
and 'Jealousy') and more touring.
Review about X-Japan Meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song I.v. performed by X-Japan
This song has a much deeper meaning like in the chorus. He is saying this girl left him and he is losing his will to live (lives bleeding from fear) he is not afraid to die because she is not in his life anymore and uses drugs like the IV to take away the pain he feels. Also to want to show this girl how much he is suffering and hopes to make her come back....makes me feel sad to whoever goes through that :(

------ About the album Vanishing Vision performed by X-Japan
Their first album.. Amazing... X Japan was and still is one of the greatest bands of all time. I just don't know why so many people don't know who they are. Yoshiki is just the most talented composer I have encountered in my life because of his endless talent. Art Of Life being his best work ever.
Really nice work here! | Reviewer: Anonymous

Comparing these guys with dream theater wtf!!! xD This is a true master piece from a japanese EMO band that makes good metal..in this case...a good progressive metal song..! Dream theater..com on! those are Gods of progressive metal..the dead dude from this band compare to Petrucci!!!! please...no need to compare.. xD
Really nice song though!! For those interested in some really really ridicously long and good progressive metal songs...Dream theater: a change of seasons - Dream theater: Octavarium!

------ About the song Art Of Life performed by X-Japan
What can I say, X Japan have outdone themselves here. It's amazing how well this song was when performed live considering its length- none of the band members slipped for even a second! Very creative song as well, what with the piano interlude including thumping the keys. It's an unusual idea, but it worked really well.
I can't say I'm surprised they did this and pulled it off, though. They have Yoshiki on board, and he's one of the most dedicated people I've heard of. He seems to put 110% of what he's got into everything he does.
Toshi's English is fine. OK, so it's not perfect, but English isn't easy to pronounce for most Japanese, and Toshi does really well compared to most other Jrock singers.

i first heard this song was from my fren... then straight away got this song from him... he's a fan of Xjapan too... so he told me the story that behind this song...
this song really quite touching... n i think till now... this the best xjapan song i have heard... (emmm... coz not their fans...)
If you ever get a chance listen to this song. Not only does it display yoshiki's marvelousness at the piano, but it's calming in away with it's unexpected turns in pitch and other various elements.

I didn't really know much about x japan because I live in Canada but from what I know Hide must have really bine loved by lots of people for what I saw at the last live. Forever love was the song that got me when Toshi and the talented piano player huged. Every time I see that I get a wierd feeling in my heart. I didn't know much about you Hide but I will for some reason allways love you. Forever love chris

------ About the song I.v. performed by X-Japan
to the person who said that these ones were guessed i don't think they are i think the more popular version on the web is as this is the lyrics that it gives as subtitles at the end of SAW I.V plus when they played this live in 2008 for the first time they had lyrics up in the background and although its hard to see them on the youtube video its definitely "its all pain a part of the fairytale" whereas in most of the lyrics you can find on the web it says "please don't be a part of the fairytale"

At the end it says:
If you could have told me everything
You would have found what love is
If you could have told me what was on your mind
I would have shown you the way
Someday I'm gonna be older than you
I've never thought beyond that time
I've never imagined the pictures of that life
For now I will try to live for you and for me
I will try to live with love, with dreams,
and forever with tears

------ About the song The Last Song performed by X-Japan
I don´t consider myself an X japan fan, but I also need to add I love their music, so, in fact it doesn´t matter if last song was written by Yoshiki or Toshi-sama I think It´s just a song by x japan, and of course this was written before Hyde death Thanks

------ About the song Art Of Life performed by X-Japan
From Yoshiki's heart pounding drums rolling in, to the haunting symphonic melodies, to the amazingly talented Hide(deceased) shreading for 10 minutes long, and the beutiful voice of Yoshiki strainning his vocal chords to make every note hit pure perfection. Everytime I listen to this song I say to myself "this is the best 30 minutes of my life" Anything written by Yoshiki is an instant masterpiece. Now that Hide is gone, this song brings tears to all of our eyes. X has never sold out, gone mainstream, they've stayed true to their fans. They are reuniting for a world tour, and Toshi, Heath, Pata, Yoshiki, and hide wherever you are, will all be with us for one last time. I am this passionate about a band that sings in a language I can't even understand. This is a once in a lifetine song, and a family that we shall cherish for the rest of you lives. This is a work of oure magnificent art. XD (THAT WAS DEEP)
