あれ??PATA裸??

[velga09]

音楽を作ってる身として、こんなに心揺さぶられる演奏は他にあり­ません。沢田泰司さんは間違いなく天才音楽家だったと思います。­抜群の歌声、ギターの音色、これを聞けば、なぜＸがあそこまで登­りつめられたかがわかる。すごい人たちの集まりだったんですね。­ありがとうございました！

[Hyde1990]

Perfect bass, perfect guitar, Perfect voice. We really miss you Taiji-sama. Say hello to hide-sama for us.

[tsanlc]

[model23girl23]

ちょ・・・絶句・・・・

ＴＡＩＪＩの歌声、美しすぎる・・・しかもこの美しい旋律をギタ­ーで奏でながら。

なんたる天才児を逃したのか、Ｘよ。



[takeda20centuryboy]

Taiji and Pata are both so epic. I can't understand how many people forget about Pata's talented skills, and think only about hide and now Sugizo. Pata is genious.

[bakas978]

i heard a stairway to heaven....but love this song...taiji so amazing

[jgsky]

i love Taiji's voice.

[palkiasmaster235]

i have a question why hide dont play the guitar here?

[You2Too]

@palkiasmaster235 This comes right after hide's little solo thing, and I guess he went out and took a break, just like Yoshiki after his drum solo.

[bigmez83]

@palkiasmaster235 In addiction of this the song is a Taiji song, and probably Pata was his best friend, or the more talented "classic" guitarist (in addiction to the fact that White wind is a Pata song :P)

[Motta8919]

@palkiasmaster235 becouse ¨white wind from mr martin¨ is a pata´s song and ¨voiceless screaming¨ is a taiji´s song...RIP Taiji

[MrElbaradei]

@palkiasmaster235 hide said "this song is too difficult so I cannot play the song"

[andrew69music]

@palkiasmaster235

hide said that I couldnt play this guitar.So on the stage,Taiji and Pata are playing guitar without hide.

Maybe,hide was just waching thier play.

Hide used to say that Taiji couldnt play guitar better than me.

Taiji was so great bassist,you know,but he was so great guitarist as well as hide and pata.

[varjus88]

@palkiasmaster235 Taiji wrote the song together with Toshi, so I think they want to play their song themself. And this video also shows how Taiji could play the guitar...

[jojojojojo]

I have a question. can you listening Toshi's English?

[Villemo1990]

This is my favourite X song <3 It just speaks out to me in a way few songs ever have. And I got to say, hearing Taiji sing makes it so much better than the studio version. <3 Old X <3

[sunkaiwen451]

how come you can't hear pata in white wind 0-0

[sunkaiwen451]

taiji sings very well 0-0 he reminds me of yama-b who used to part of galneryus :P

[doggieshaman]

i almost got a heart attack when I saw the video of Taiji returning to play X for them quite recently X.X what a waste.

that said i still like heath as well, he's got his own style :D

[thatzombieplace]

i wish taiji would go back to X i truly hate seeing this new X japan touring north america.

[You2Too]

@thatzombieplace If I was Taiji, I wouldn't want to be a part of the new X. Taiji fit their old style and songs much better. Yoshiki is the leader, and he decided to turn X into Violet UK. :(

[eggiroth]

@You2Too No, Violet UK and X-Japan are two different projects. Yoshiki worked with VUK while X-Japan was broken up, but since their reunion he's a full time member of X-Japan. They've just finished their North American tour and hopefully they're coming to Europe spring 2011! <3

[PinkHidetoMatsumoto]

@You2Too

But PLEASE!

I do not wish to start a fight at this day, after what just has happened, so don't misunderstand me now.

But WHY do people always blame Taiji's leaving on Yoshiki? It was the whole band's decision, Taiji told so himself, Just because Yoshiki is the leader he get the blame for everything that happens.

[You2Too]

@PinkHidetoMatsumoto I'm not blaming anyone. Anyway, I'll give you some quotes from Taiji's book: "When Yoshiki told me that he wanted me to leave X, the truth was that he only wanted me to stay till the end of those three days.

Perhaps the reason was that in the middle of our conversations when I would turn belligerent and try to pick a fight, I would mistakenly say too much."

[You2Too]

@PinkHidetoMatsumoto Another quote: "Surely, Yoshiki was tired. On top of having to keep making music, he had all these disruptions come into his life one by one, and I suppose he was tired of me insisting upon equality within the band. And so maybe he cut me out from his life because he was tired of it."

[Larstons]

@thatzombieplace

your user name is really awesome.

[0515takashi]

この曲を聞くと涙が出そうになるわ

20年前の記憶が、、、

taiji. 最高～

[Kakica1]

Taiji is the best member of X! It was mistake to miss him!

[punzubee]

Taiji ってネイティブかってくらいやばい。

[takasi59]

TAIJIの声がものすごく良いね

[sebaswildboy]

love taiji's voice

[iPureba]

HE IS BACK TO HOME!!!

[lestallia]

This has the best audio i have found for this song so far! Thank you for posting...this song is very moving and haunting! Taiji ROCKS.

[SpiritedPixie64]

This song really has captuered me heart as it from a time when X was was real & passionate!

[ellepon]

もうすぐ、やっと、再会の夜でＴＡＩＪＩが見られる・・・！

[knythphim223]

TAIJI声きれいすぎる・・・。

[galeshun]

where is hide???

[Prognosticator1999]

vocal-TOSHI

lead guitar-TAIJI

rhytm guitar-PATA

violin-SUGIZO

上記のメンバーでVoiceless Screaming見てみたいですね。

最近TAIJIボーカルの曲聴きましたが、歌がすごくうまくてび­っくりしました。

この動画でもその片鱗がうかがえますね。

ベースもギターもうまく、作曲能力も高く、容姿も良く、華があり­、歌もうまい・・・・。XJAPANは非常にもったいないことを­したなと感じます。

日産スタジアム楽しみにしています。

[51ming]

神作!

[neoandcinda]

とても感動的で素晴らしい楽曲だよね。yoshiki以外のメン­バーも音楽の

才能がとても高かった証明。何時までも聞いていたい。

[SpiritedPixie64]

Beautifull.........this is the best version I've found yet!!!

[pdsegura26]

i love this song!! *-*

[beccaboard]

Pata is so young and beautiful here. Thanks for posting!

[Fleg]

best period of X they were high up there with the best american band of their era and previous era, so bad Yoshiki wanted to smash his best toy, the agony have been long and beautifull like he wanted, just that recent resurection was too much, call of money saddly...

[Moua]

oh i am jsut in love with this song. Taiji and Toshi..i thinkthey could have easily made a solo or a single under their names with many great tracks. with toshi's perfect voice and taiji's music construction. LOVE IT! FOREVER X!!!!

[PSYENCERABBIT]

コーラスってtaiji！？

だとしたら声きれいすぎる(・o・)

[Hhagha]

Best

[Parabellum13X]

No but seriously, have you seen some some of Taiji's bass solos? Or heard is acoustic guitar in Dirty Trashroad?

He is a lot more talented than Heath, and there is no denying this.

[You2Too]

@Parabellum13X: I totally agree, Taiji is a LOT more talented than Heath. I don't think I've ever seen Heath do some fast slapping or anything like that.

[Gina37]

Chill is running through my body!

The voices of Toshi and Taiji fit together perfectly! I love this song!

A great piece out of X Japans music history!

(Sorry for mistakes, English is not my first language)

[ozzyobs]

Taiji is best classical and Bass player

[aloozer]

holy sheet.. taiji's singing. 1stly, english was not even his native language and he sang so clearly in this 1. and it's not even easy to sing at his pitch and clarity. and his guitar playing..impeccable.

[dwoverdose52]

@aloozer He isn't even that fluent in english either lol, he has a great voice

[akihakihalon]

Taji's voice is so beautiful. And the mix, Toshi's voice and Taiji's voice together, it's just so beautiful, that there is no words to descrbe it.

I started crying.

[beccaboard]

taiji has a great voice! is he doing good now? I sure hope so, he went thru some bad times after leaving x.

[e1r2f3o4l5g]

hide涙目

[roadstar5150]

taijiは元々ギタリストですよ。taiji抜けた後・・・否­定したくは無いですが・・・heathさんには荷が重かったので­は・・・技術的な面で・・・それくらい技術的な方でしたねtai­jiさんは・・・どの曲でもそうですが。。。あのベースラインと­ボーカルに絡みつくようなリフは鳥肌ものでした・・・

[GRATIFI3D]

They should play this song on their next live! I'd be great to hear Sugizo playing the violin in accompaniment to this song. Toshi + Pata + Heath/Taiji :) + Sugizo for this song!

[Parabellum13X]

I highly doubt heath can play this.

[Pinkspiderable]

Heath is in the band because he is super talented musician, I know how you feel. I love Taji also it's not easy to forget the original X...

Much Love for Taiji

RIP Hideto Matsumoto

Forever we are X!

[moped222]

I almost start crying ....such a beautiful song :)

[ERICKCCIQUEIRA]

See? Taiji isn't only the bass master, he's also a guitar master!! This song is freaki'n hard to play!

Taiji owns!

[BammyQ]

@ERICKCCIQUEIRA The rumor was that Taiji was an even better guitar player in those days than Pata or hide, but he liked the bass more. Pata once stated that in an interview

[Kiutsuki]

@BammyQ

Interesting, since I don't find many Pata's interviews.

And well, this music itself proves that what he said is completely true.

Not to mention Taiji's talent for creating music not only in Voiceless Scream but in Empty Room as well.

[Kiutsuki]

@ERICKCCIQUEIRA

I really didn't wanted to come back to my comment one year later

to say how much I'll miss this talented musician.

R.I.P Yasushe "Taiji" Sawada

[tatpgamt0p]

Toshiの女性の声みたいなハモりはTaijiですか？

だとしたら本当に凄い声ですよね。綺麗の次元越してます。Tai­jiなんですか？

[doiko33]

@tatpgamt0p この歌で初めてＴａｉｊｉの歌声を聴き、ビックリ

透明感のある美しい歌声。

生で見てみたい。

[na2xxx]

YOSHIKIみたいにいい曲が作れて、TOSHIみたいに歌え­て、PATAぐらいギターがうまい人が居たんだな・・・TAIJ­I!!!,also hide

[NeroCyaBlaze]

taiji's voice sounds awesome O_o

i never knew he could sing clearly

and the song's just too perfect :)

[hogam]

Taiji..he was the inspiration on me to start bass..I tried to find better/cooler bassist out there...but I couldn't ..because he is the one....

[saberjevang7]

Taiji fucking rocks!

And his chorus were amazing, his voice is so loud in this one.

[1211minmin]

I miss taiji so much...it makes me sad..

[jgsky]

OH MY GOD!!!!! I thought I liked X, after watching this I realized..I like TAIJI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

I have to say that taiji and yoshiki are both awesome musicians, but quite different types....

[yu313smile]

their personalities are totally different too

i love taiji more

[jgsky]

Taiji is so talented!!! He could be a great vocalist!!

where is hide?

[Villemo1990]

This is song is my favorite by X. It moves me deep in my heart and has a special meaning to me.

We are X <3

[mirrorpiece]

im so sorry for taiji that yoshiki kicked him out of the band. yoshiki never should have done that.

[title26]

Yoshiki was selfish, but it was Taiji's decision to leave. But they made up, and Yoshiki has matured. The two are now very good friends.

[washidu0927]

近い将来、また同じショットを観れる事を期待しています。

[Prosopagnosia11]

this is 2 songs in 1. the 1st is pata's composition - white wind from mr. martin or also known as pata's nap and taiji's masterpiece - voiceless screaming

[bakaaoi]

if u dont mind me asking.

where u got this vid from? or better yet the concert?

[hanstinger]

the second voice sounds like scorpion vocalist.

[You2Too]

Yes I've also thought so! Taiji sounds like Klaus Meine

[savertiger17]

@hanstinger jaja ur right

[ERICKCCIQUEIRA]

See the credits of On The Verge Of Destruction

vol 4. his name appears there.

[nubetostada]

Does anyone know who is the man playing violin? He also appears performing this same song in "On The Verge Of Destruction" DVD...

[HmongYou2Tube]

Do people not see the microphone at Taiji's mouth??

[seedofchaos]

they were out..about 10 years..maybed 15.. before miyabi

[chushui]

oh~~ how i just love taiji!!!

[hluu83]

taiji rocks

[exiong25]

that's a super cool looking classical guitar taiji has there

[holyleaf]

ketchum,you're damn right

[NyappyBaka]

Mangifique T_T

[ketchoum]

WTF. Taiji writes beautiful songs. He plays guitar better than Hide. And he sings beautifully. Yoshiki couldn't stand the fact that Taiji was 10 times more talented than him.

[AssassinMeoji]

Go Fuck your self man than why went and looked at the vid if its so shit

[HmongYou2Tube]

Why don't you look at what I said again. I said "X JAPAN is the shit of JAPAN."

Calm down there buddy. I'm a fan too.

[wtbpropername]

it kinda came out the wrong way, it sounds like you hate X, but a X fan is a X fan!

on second note, who is doing second voice?

[WeAreKira]

As said below it does infact seem to be taiji.

[adeebot8]

Who is backing vocalist??? is it Taiji??

[garnetd]

i think it is him but i m not 100% sure xD

[adeebot8]

hehe yea same like me...But the voice is nice...

[ramy2702]

It sounds like a woman, so I don't think it's Taiji. Damn, Taiji is good.

[garnetd]

i saw his last show (the verge of destruction) and he was singing... so maybe it s really him ^^

[HmongYou2Tube]

It's Taiji singing. He made the song. If he was still in the band I'm pretty sure they would've used it in their lives. Though that would never happen with the way Yoshiki is.

[ramy2702]

you're right! Didn't notice it because 4 months ago I thought it sounded like a woman.But it's not. Taiji is good.

[HmongYou2Tube]

It's Taiji's voice. Yeah, he sounds American don't he? I know Ishizuka doesn't sing, his voice also doesn't sound like that. The back up singers back then would be Taiji and hide probably. Now it's just Heath and Sugizo.

[AssassinMeoji]

yes its him

[JanKenk123]

Great vocals he has and not mentoining the guitar work ^^ what concert is this

[ruewood]

Taiji is the best guitarist in history of x-japan

[tenho2206]

ＴＡＩＪＩさんのギター聞いてると癒される～。

voicelessの練習頑張ってます。

[garnetd]

oh..it was a reply for NikkiCorona

[socialriotpuppet]

Taiji is fucking awesome!! X ROX!!

[NikkiCorona]

I love Taiji. I dont think i fully get why he disbanded? Did he like not fit in? Did Yoshiki kick him out? Were there more band member problems? Or did Taiji just wanna leave and join a different not so popular band or whatever? Too mush for him? I dont know but i still love him. He is the best bassist and he can play lead guitar like that! WOW! And Toshi made the lyrics, huh? I relate...

[garnetd]

taiji said in his book that he had some problems with yoshiki because he allways wanted to play his songs and didn't allow the others to play their own songs. because of this they were always fighting (taiji believed that everyone should be able to sing their songs too. yoshiki is the leader but not the owner of the band). then yoshiki was tired of it so said him to quit and taiji said ok. (i cried so much when i was reading it ='().

i dont know if this is true or not but i believe in it.

[NikkiCorona]

get my reply? ya i cant believe it either but ya

[romanhikou21]

Taiji can play the guitar and bass, very well. I felt this song his love and warm heart.

[macyage2006]

澤田カッコヨス。

[arucatx]

La música de X Japan es = a Arte señores T_T hermosa composición de Taiji.

X Japan es una gran banda, la mejor que he conocido =P

[holybirdie]

Taiji is a fantastic musician.

[monstertrekl]

It sounds more suitable and sad in drop 1 2/1 step tuning.

[SheuhX]

huh? what tuning? You confuse me.

[monstertrekl]

Taiji plays this song with C#F#BEG#C# tuning(D#G#C#F#A#D# in album version)and there was 1and half step below standard tuning.

[HmongYou2Tube]

Ah... Sounds difficult.

[Umpurin]

GOD FUCKING AWESOME

[hidetofan]

Nono guys. White Wind was composed by PATA. Voiceless screaming by Taiji and the lyrics was made by TOSHI.

[NaginiDrake]

Beautiful...!! :3

[ChizuruSama]

I think they didn t replace taiji s guitar because it was his song after all.

it s a very good song and taiji is a good person, i m realy sorry that he had so many problems.

But Heath is awsome bass player too.

I like them equally, and i don t liek people who say taiji was better that heath or heath better then taiji.

They are unique in their own way , we shouldn t compare them.

I can t realy understand why people don t like heath.

After all it s not his fault taiji left.

[SheuhX]

Yeah that is true. It isn't hid fault they helt. Heath is cool, he used to wear normal clothings to live shows but now he dresses CRAZY!!! Like Final Fantasy style. Lol It looks not bad either. geez if i went dressin up like final fantasy cosplay i'd look like a fool and get jumped. but that sucks though, it was taiji's song but it was friggen great. and was it true that Yoshiki and Taiji got into a fist fight? Lol i saw seomeone say that on youtube before.

[SheuhX]

This song just died. How come they never played it at Last Live or something. It was really good. hide could've just taken Taiji's spot. And they should've added an acoustic bass.

[Tsukiyoru]

I think because Taiji composed this song and after he left they stopped playing it.

[SheuhX]

I thought they could've put the classical guitars a bit up. Toshi's voice was a little higher. I thought it should've been more even. I dunnno if you guys know what I'm talking about. But IMO I didn't really hear the guitars too much.

[Byrnison18]

Great! one of their best ballads

[misunderstoodpoet]

one of my favorite song, one of my favorite video

[Beck88]

wow taiji guitars skill is good

[Aruheri]

waahhh *-* is a beautiful song *-* snif

[toricircle]

This version is too great....

I love Taiji's voice!

Thanks for sharing

This is just AMAZING!!!

[asymaverick16]

why wasn't hide play?? i thought he's the lead guitarist, pata the 2nd guitar and taiji being on bass...poor hide...i wonder if he can play an acoustic guitar just like taiji...and yeah who the fuck sing the back up??!! for sure it wasn't taiji!!...the english pronoucesation is perfect...seems like the back up singer is not a japanese...btw the song just rock!

[JavierCL]

Is "pronoucesation" a word?

And just because he is Japanese doesn't mean he can't have good pronunciation.

[Fakturor]

hide fanboy...

[SheuhX]

its good to have inspirations. unlike you.

[shiryu85]

Pata and Taiji was much better guiarrist than HIDE

[yuoyuoyuo]

Thats also quite a own judgement you pull out there. Yoshiki were very strict with the skills of his memebers. They're so equal all of them, so equal.
