[minna224]

この曲はカラオケでよく歌います。気分がさわやかになる曲です。­Xはバラードもロックもすごいところがすごい。

[CornSw]

I freakin' love this band! THey are so cool and I love the early 90's feeling!

[xXx2DarkmazterxXx2]

[09kira12]

みんな楽しそうでええかんじやな。

TOSHIとHIDEかわいすぎるー。

[martinikei]

its difficult to looks like they are looking. i cant have got any scare if i only want to look like they :D sorry 4 my english but i hope you understood me :) greetings :D:D

[HIghBlutdruck]

Wow!! I'm really liking the footage of the behind the scenes stuff in the "Jealousy" album cover. (I mean the pamphlet that comes with the original CD).

[Kakica1]

TAIJI is the coolest rocker!

[yu313smile]

can not agree more!! ever best!

[XJapanEdguy]

Verry good song XD .Totale glam metal =)

[roza0502]

この歌、かわいい＾＾

[Genavieve4077]

SwallowMyScream I agree with you soooo much!

[Megadeth72]

I love this song, reminds me of KISS

[westman247]

personally it reminds me more of motley crue

[adropofcolor]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!

[67675656565655656565]

are the japanese that far behind they still think hair bands are cool

[Kataclysm03]

this is old & this guy w/ pink hair died -_- this group was n like the 80's & 90s. Japan's actually ahead, example, the gaga poppy stuff they had already :/

[DoctorFeelgood666]

dude hair bands ARE cool

[adropofcolor]

visual kei's cooler than you. fuck off pls

[rioooo5]

@S1ppy Glam rock originated in Britain not America....... also X Japan rule! this is quite different than all the other songs I know by them like it's not a ballad and it's not like speed metal lol

[SwallowMyScream]

@S1ppy yes you're right, but i think that bands like X Japan were completely more talented than most of american bands

[S1ppy]

Thats not what I was implying, they obviously have skill. I'm half Japanese myself, and I don't go around raging at anyone who provides criticism, because I'm not some stuck up weeaboo.

[SwallowMyScream]

take it easy, i wasn't being rude, i was just making a point about the comparison between those american "hair metal" bands and X Japan. I've noticed that Japanese are usually very hard-working musicians, so finally they develop great skills and are focused on different things

[shogunsetsu]

@S1ppy since you are half japanese, could you translate this song? I never found the translated lyrics of Joker, and is just sad to half know what this great song is about.

[TheFourthDefender]

@SwallowMyScream Japan has 3,000 years of musical tradition while the USA are still an infant as a country. Coincidence?

[SwallowMyScream]

yes, and well, it's also a cultural issue. they usually make their best effort on the things they do.

[yu313smile]

love you TAIJI!!!! u're the ever-best bassist!

[InvaderBleach]

Awesome song, but I wonder how they get their hair like that....

[xmadteaparty]

this is so good it's like glamrock i love glam its great tis is my favourite x japan song and rusty nail too :D

[Miraki84]

hide ^-^

X JAPAN!!!

[xXxBloodyhugSxXx]

Xjapan!!! =D

[demonbagel]

One band member's name is Heath.

And the song's called Joker.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[thenewtitle26]

don't get your hopes up, this was written when Taiji was in the band.

[phantomofguilt]

Aye! Taiji is full of win, Heath is no comparison to Taiji, even though Heath was a good enough bassist to even be in X.

Awesome bassline here!

Love playing this song.

[mrgrazzt]

Except Heath isn't here.

Thanks to Yoshiki for kicking Taiji out because. =/

[Ruzik123]

Taiji wanted to leave because their music was becoming more ballad like (Daliah Album) and he wanted more like heavy like Blue blood

[Genavieve4077]

I love you Yoshiki! You are so fucking sexy, and you still are, OMG!

[hyen665]

Kick ass song. Really like it. It's upbeat, energetic and just plain awesome. :P Favourite has to be 'I'll Kill You' though - the lyrics make me giggle but the music is wicked.

[jefemaestro2552]

joker yea

[delarge84]

fags.

[Canuma88]

lol they probably had more girls than you ever will...

[smellif33t]

@Canuma88 that's a given. The taller your hair was in the 80s the more poon tang you found splashing round your ankles

[calvin0337]

聽到笑左XD

[Troenderfaar]

the song is so... HAPPY!! :D

[yu313smile]

OMG!! I go crazy foe TAIJI*\/*

[GeneralArrow]

Haha what ya talking about? There early stuff is awesome!

[Maelanna]

ummm this /IS/ X-Japan, and their early stuff is what made them what they were. This was the awesome stuff, remember it was the 80's/early 90's, different sound then later in the 90's.

I like their earlier stuff, more Rock less Drama. Plus you know...THE HAIR. :)

WE ARE X!

[Manachild]

i actually prefer this and thier ballads over thier speed metal songs like kuranai. I make an exception for silent jealousy though that song is pure awesome.

[yu313smile]

though their ballads do great,i think the recruitment of X was because of rock and metal

so i prefer rock songs of them rather then yoshiki's songs

[narutokonoha93]

hm yoshiki looks really young in this PV ^^

[JessRika]

Err yeah that bodu bag bit freked me out a little though. Lol

[JessRika]

Kool! I love Glam Metal... This is basically that but in Japanese.

[twainname]

Well, not really. Besides this song and maybe two others X Japan sound nothing like the Glam scene, they are way to talented and way to diverse to be included. Musically, they take influence from the German school of metal, classic NWOBHM, British Progressive rock, J rock and mix it with an original sound, not the typical Glam influences. Also VK although being like Glam did not share a lot of the same values. Remember in Glam the look and the music were tied in VK they were not.

[JessRika]

I was making a generalisation. I know the differences between the two.. Also I was referring to this particular song. I have heard other songs by them that aren't like this.

Also, 'way too talented'?... Glam Metal shouldn't be undermined, Glam bands have great musicians and vocalists and the power to work the stage and the crowd. Is that not talent?

[Sicherheitsexpert]

Nihongo sore deska ? Or english ...

[narutokonoha93]

hm du bist ein deutscher der japanisch kann hurra ^^

[Mariuslange]

Welcher Deutscher kann japanisch??

Den bräuchte ich nämlich mal:D

[narutokonoha93]

hm ich kann ein ganz kleinen wenig wieso ^^

[Mariuslange]

Weil ich endlich eine Übersetzung für das Lied X haben möchte^^

aber jeder japaner den ich gefragt hat gesagt von wegen, "Die Wörter sind zu schön um sie zu übersetzn"(Originalzitat^^)

[narutokonoha93]

hm na ja ich finde das lied sollte bei seienr original sprache bleiben un net durch eine andere sprache möglicherweiße verunstaltet werden ^^

[buyyouforme]

fucking good

[foxninja2411]

pardon my ignorance but is this style related to the glam bands in america during the 80's?

[tabanorama]

Very much.

[RaabBlog]

pretty much except this is called visual kei, which is pretty much the same thing.

[narutokonoha93]

hm yep visual kei is inspired by the glam rock of the 80´s ^^

[foxninja2411]

meh i personally hate glam but love VK!

[twainname]

foxninja2411, the visual style can be tied to Glam although they a really two different animals, but the music has nothing to do with it.

[foxninja2411]

i was just refering to their looks but yea i know waht you mean

[panterahead667]

Hell yeah!.. these guys INVENTED Visual Kei but didn't invent the image. Although they do pull it off incredibly.

[leonaestep2000]

i wish people still made music like this, X Japan was and still is the best group ever. WE ARE X, rest in peace hide

[NittaShun2]

I was thumbed down for praising Pata's coolness? geez. .-.

[illusionofshadows204]

[Taiji87]

Franchute tenías que ser xDD

[Karmoon7]

This and Desperate Angel are two totally overlooked songs! I have no idea why, they're totally rockin'.

[Incog2k6]

So what are you called then?

Moron Man? Small Pole? Fat Whale? Monkey Ass? Redneck Boy?

Oh yeah, neither. You're "iFAIL Man".

[CrazyAngelMeiChan]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

[Jade808]

Where's the clip where hide and Toshi are running on the beach from??

[FlameWandering]

It looks like it is not in Japan (obviously). I think it is from the X-Japan New York visit? If there is any man who can make another man question his heterosexuality, it is Yoshiki ^^

[Jade808]

LMAO! Thanks. I'll have to go find the video ^__^. and yesh, Yoshiki is awesome XD. X Japan is just plain awesome!

[tabanorama]

Probably the NY visit. Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY

[Jade808]

Thanks a lot! =)

~Jade808~

[shiroitearz]

I just die everytime I see hide in this. =) *love*

[AinaXD]

My favorite song is IV! ^-^<3

[muradatomo]

I want to know who's handwriting that was... I looked like something Pata would say... This song and Celebration are my favorites.

[glamour84]

mmm, taiji... on that nice motorbike... hot stuff.. <3 taiji

[Asanosano]

Hide was an amazing person though he created visual kei ahh i miss him

[radicalblues]

Don't open your mouth unless you're sure of what you're saying. Visual =/= Visual Kei

[Asanosano]

[shadowofvalinor]

Super Happy Fun Song! Makes me smile so hard

[ValinorsLight]

Pata looks strange with a beard, it's unPata-like...

[ToxicSakura]

I think it actually looks kinda good xD;

Thanks for postin this video, We are X~!

[asuniko]

Haha... sounds very Poison-inspired. It's a fun song, even though it's a bit less original than some of their other material.

[sunminhle702]

Oh my god, What were they doing to Hide at the photo shoot? He had to get carried in with plastic wrapped around him...

[xXxJabotxXx]

Haha, it looks so awkward. But the contacts are awesome.

[EmSexyKhong]

Very true ^_^

[xXxJabotxXx]

I want contacts like that...and plastic wrap .. o__O hmmz.
