White Wind From Mr.Martin ~Pata’s NapX JAPAN30rank/position

White Wind From Mr. Martin ~Pata’s Nap~ – X Japan

An acoustic guitar instrumental by PATA.

It was performed on a guitar he encountered while staying in Los Angeles for recording.

Its gentle tone seems to reflect PATA’s generous personality as he looks after the other members.

This is the only song in the band’s history that was composed by PATA.

Piano wire in E-flat majorX JAPAN31rank/position

X JAPAN – Piano Wire in E-flat Major ~ Unfinished (Tokyo Dome 1992.01.06)

It’s an instrumental piece performed solely by YOSHIKI on piano (no vocals).

Since he originally comes from a classical background, it’s only natural—but it still makes you realize just how much he can do.

Even so, it doesn’t lose the X JAPAN-style worldview, and the piece carries a somewhat sorrowful tone.

I.V.X JAPAN32rank/position

X Japan I.V. PV

It’s not “4,” it’s “I.V.” It’s the first release for X JAPAN’s world debut and serves as the theme song for the movie Saw 4.

Although it’s a horror film, the song is a medium-tempo, hard number that effectively captures its world.

ROSE OF PAINX JAPAN33rank/position

X JAPAN 1991.12.8 – Rose of Pain

It’s an epic piece running over 10 minutes.

At first you might think it’s a ballad, but midway it modulates into a hard, quintessential X JAPAN sound.

Since it’s included on a major-label album, many listeners may have been newly surprised to realize that X JAPAN can do this kind of song as well.

Rasty NailX JAPAN34rank/position

X JAPAN – Rusty Nail(PV)

It is the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Kimi ga Mienai.” It is one of X JAPAN’s best-known signature songs.

Released in 1994, it became the band’s first single to reach No.

1 on the Oricon Singles Chart.

It was certified Triple Platinum and is the band’s second best-selling single.

UN-FINISHED…X JAPAN35rank/position

X Japan – Unfinished [HD]

It’s a grand ballad performed with a simple instrumental arrangement.

As the title UN-FINISHED… (Unfinished) suggests, the song ends partway through.

You can hear the completed version on the album BLUE BLOOD.
