Okay, thanks for telling me, yes he is an amazing guitar player, i checked out some of his solos, there so awesome to say the least!! The singer has an amaizing voice!! Japan will live forever!!
seen em at the Wiltern in los angeles - they were 20 feet away , they look exactly as they look in vids , damn good looking . hell they rocked the place ..
@betrayer1314 FUCK dat sucks and i never heard a band like this good i start listening to them a month ago and i was Shocked there fucking bad ass and thanks =]
@MrFantomas45 when you have chance to hear x japan. U are probably one of the most luckiest person on earth. some people never have chance to hear this band .but i am lucky .let x japan cure our broken soul....
@wader115678 Well he's famous, and you're not.. so why are you judging this AMAZING band.. that has been broken up for 10/12 years.. so can you blame him that his voice isn't as good as it used to be? They are older now, but they came back together for the music and fans.
Toshi and Yoshiki were in paris two days ago ! And I was in Paris too...the sweet version of I.V in live...was just wondeful. We are X ! AND FOR EVER ! (sorry if I make mistake in my english, but i'm french...)
Wow This Song Is Just So Beautiful And Powerfull ... We Played This In School On Rockband For Activity Period The Other Day ... Me And My Buddy Aley Played It .... Ha We Had People Crying After it Was Over Ha At least I Was :)
mongos!!! xke taaanto comparan a sugizo con hide??? el esta ahi porke tambien es amigo de hide i de tooo x!!! no xke kiere reemplazarlo, demasiada wena esta cancion!!! cuando vi x 1era vez el video me hizo sentir una mezcla d pena, rabia, alegria i nostalgia, los mejores de lejos!!!!!!! forever x!!!!!
When I heard this song in rock band I thought, "Here goes another band with an amazing vocal performance that obviously can't be matched when performed live." Well damn was I wrong. Bravo! New fav song. At least for now :)
@DarkLightYagami223 you should look up the history of the band and what happedn to the guitarist named "hide" and ull understand this song much better :) RIP Hide
@DarkLightYagami223 yeah, if you like them now then imagine what theywere like wit hide and Taiji when Yoshiki was in full health, Pata wasn't as sloppy and Toshi had a voice. His voice today is ok but back in the day...
I'm tired too, but I can't go to Japan just for a show (and I must pass some examination soon, I'm a student), so I must wait for them. You're lucky ;)
Oh, I thought they went to Paris, I've seen videos of them live in Paris, maybe I wasn't paying attention and they could have been old videos. I would love to see X Japan live, I heard they're supposed to have a world tour, so surely Paris will be on the list, as well as somewhere here in North America.
Yoshiki has said that if everything goes to plan, they'll play Paris in July. But, this is X, and nothing really ever goes to plan ;) They are hoping to play there sometime this year though, and also in Germany.
In reference to comments on the vocals, it makes sense that they wouldn't be perfect. For one, the guys is old- voice quality lowers around his age, and often some vocal damage develops, particularly in rock singers. Also, his vocal line is very high, and to hit a high B solidly with controlled, blended head and chest voice is pretty remarkable.
I loved it. X Japan is still kicking ass, all over the age of 40 years. Too bad hide couldn't be there. Sugizo is a worthy stand-in, but hide can never truely be replaced.
great live performance hope they come to the uk. Even though it's not Hide i think sugizo did pretty well and should stay on as support guitarist also all the rest of the band were flawless, and the piano opening was perfect. X are back!
Sugizo has a lot of passion and enthusiasm however...it's seriously not enough from me and most fans from missing Hideto-sempai. Just...not enough. It's just not the same and all (sigh!)...nevertheless loved the performance. I felt as if the intro to the song went on for just a bit too long, but hey let them enjoy.
1. Only the singer sounds terrible at this concert, the rest are even better than the studio version of I.V which sounded too soft compared to the other songs, they improve on that here and make it sound harder.
2. The singer was going through a very rough period and now his voice is back and they've done recent concerts on new years eve and hong kong a month ago, and his voice was excellent like it was ten years ago.
Please keep up with what's happening before you judge them.
i always feel like crying when i hear this song, especially when i see the video, because of his guitar in the vid, and also clips of him.. :( i miss hide!
(In the rain) I'm calling you, dear
(Find the way) Can't you see me standing right here?

@socomaster
hide was X Japan's guitarist, who passed away in 1998.
He also did brilliant solo work.
In the minds of his bandmates and most of the fans, he is still a member of X Japan.
It's truly a tragic loss for the fans and the entire world to have lost such an amazing artist.
You should try listening to some of his solo work, it's really good. :)
Our thoughts, love and prayers are with Japan.
