YOSHIKI's famous and popular songs (41–50)

BREAK THE DARKNESSX JAPAN

I dug up an incredibly old X JAPAN song.

However, since it’s a self-produced EP first released during their indie days, I can’t leave it out.

This is where the legend of X JAPAN began.

If you listen to it after hearing the fully realized X JAPAN of today, you can feel the youthfulness in the music.

DAHLIAX JAPAN

This is the first track from X JAPAN’s album DAHLIA, which has made a comeback after a long time.

They didn’t let the fans down and put a quintessentially X JAPAN song at the front.

Melodic vocal lines, hard guitar sound, and speedy drumming—this is a track that was worth the wait.

Am I the only one who felt there are a lot of ballads on the album DAHLIA? It might be inevitable given the members’ ages, though.

That said, X JAPAN is a band that churns out hits even with ballads.

They’re beautiful ballads in YOSHIKI’s distinctive, slightly classical style.

This song is also a ballad.

When there are so many famous ballads, they often start to feel similar, but in YOSHIKI’s pieces each song has its own well-crafted drama and stands on its own.

I think that seems simple but is actually difficult to achieve.
