Video Interview: X Japan's Yoshiki

X Japan are bigger than, you know, God, in their native Japan. They're about to make a name for themselves in the US so ARTISTdirect.com sat down with X Japan leader Yoshiki, who is both a drummer and a pianist for this exclusive video interview. We want to introduce our readers to the phenom that is X Japan now!

Yoshiki talks about "Jade," which will be the band's first single in the US. It's a new song and it is really heavy, according to Yoshiki. He also reveals that the song has more positive energy, which is a bit of a creative left turn for X Japan, since they have addressed weighty topics like death and suicide on past efforts.

Get to know X Japan and Yoshiki by watching out exclusive video interview.
