The original song is by X JAPAN.

As pioneers among female hard rock bands, they truly stood out—and I doubt there’s any other female vocalist who can deliver this song with such power.

It’s a faithful cover of the original, but since the entire band is female, you can feel a refined, high-level musicianship shining through the heaviness.
