No! Taiji can't be dead! My biggest inspiration to be who I am today! Now I feel an emptiness and helplessness in my heart! Rest Taiji wherever you are. You will always be great and the best bass player in the world! I'll miss you! =(
@pyroteria its your opinion so cant do much about that. but i love this era. one the best power bands ever! and during this time they got a lot heavier and its good to see them progress instead of stayin to their classic heavy roots.
No me cansaré jamás de ésta banda. Pueden seguir pasando los años y la consideraré una de las de mi vida, idependientemente de quien sea el vocalista o bajista del momento. Normal que haya cambios en una banda con una longevidad como la suya.
Taiji (Bass) is originally from X-Japan, and Masaki (VO) from EZO. This is from late 90s when 2nd singer Mike Vescera left loudness and formed his solo project such as Reign of Terror and MVP (Michael Vescera Project)..
wahahha.. best band in asia x japan & loundness ... Japanes are good metal/rock star in asia ... beter than Philippines who made sucks rock music.. although Im from philippines
Whoa let me interrupt you for a second there...all the members of Death Angel are of Philipino decent and they are one of the best Thrash Metal bands in existence...
These guys were absolutely brilliant up until they signed with a major American label. Every album was a masterpiece. Guitar work was incredible. Great melodic structures too. Who cares if you couldn't understand what the f*ck the singer was saying! He had a cool voice.
I feel sorry for Heath because he's just being himself, but he is hated by most old X fans. Though Taiji was the best and yea Dahlia just sucked, in my opinion.
His name is Akira Takasaki and besides being a fantastic guitarplayer he is also the owner of his own guitar company. So he's sort of endorsing himself :)
The look goes very well with the Japanese metal trademark cheesiness I think. Wish I had a guitar that cool!
Is this loudness? I know the song is loudness. Vocals suck though. Akira looks great. I like the noshirt beard wild man thing! Matches his guitar playing.
dude, that is SO GAY, do you think that just because both of the bands are japanese we are gonna like that homosexual indie shit? THIS IS HEAVY METAL, that thing you were "sure we would superlike" is INDIE....:S what were you thinking? Loudness IS NOT a bunch of queers dressed up like amine characters.

Takagami?.... how about Eizo Sakamoto. thats the name ive heard since the 80's. and he is the best singer in the world, but Akio Shimizu isnt a better guitarist. in terms of musicianship and technique, Shimizu really only does classic rock and metal riffs while Takasaki does a lot more tapping, sweeping, and basic shred. recently, Akira's solos have been kinda...shred more than....shred..... i dont know. just not as technical as they used to be, but i still say he has more skill than Shimizu
X is one of the most epicly large jrock bands ever. whenever i meet a japanese exchange student i just have to mention is kurenai or forever love and a cultural connection is already made.
I remember first seeing these guys back in the day(mid 80's) on MTV, and being totally blown away! Remember back when MTV played hard rock? LOL! Hard to imagine today!
This version of Loudness killed!!! Love Taiji! And Masaki is one of my favorite singers of all time. Put his ass right there next to Dio, and Lizzy Borden.
I don't know, i didn't like the masaki era very much none of there studio albums with him were that good. In my opinion they were better of with mike vescera then him but minoru was definitely the coolest one.

このころのラウドネスはオールジャパンだったな~。EZOのMasakiにXのTAIJIとか贅沢なメンバー。このメンバーが揃ってやってたなんて奇跡。ラウドネス初期の神オーラまではないが、オールジャパン感が存分に出てる。Masakiの声はこの手のバンドでは世界でも稀にみるくらい美しく大好きだが、活躍の場はラウドネスじゃなかったと思ってる。海外の有名バンドでやってハマるタイプだったと思う。ラウドネス好きの自分としてはとてもかっこよくて嬉しかったんだけどね。TAIJIはラウドネスに向いてたと思う。ルックスといいステージングといい演奏力といい申し分なし。不敵な笑いをするときが好き。モニターに足を乗せたところから曲に乗って後ろに下がるとことかボーカルやギターに寄り添って演奏してる時はかなりクールだと思う。このうち2人がいないなんて・・天命だから仕方ないけどさみしい。
