YOSHIKI’s Famous and Popular Songs (21–30)
There’s nothing you can’t do if you try; there’s no way you can do it without trying.YOSHIKI
It’s a famous quote that tells us you can gain some kind of result from trying anything, but nothing will change if you don’t start.
Many people tend to wish they could get what they want without making any effort if possible.
However, unless you have exceptional talent or instinct, you can’t be good at something new from the start, and without effort you won’t improve.
It’s a message that teaches a simple principle: when you act, you move forward; when you don’t, you stay still.
In the end, I think life is all about “density.”YOSHIKI
These are memorable words that convey YOSHIKI’s resolve, his approach to music, and his passionate way of living.
It means that what matters is not just living a long life, but how much passion you pour into the time you’re given and how fully you make that time count.
You can feel the depth of his words, forged by dedicating himself wholeheartedly to his musical career.
It’s not about merely existing; since we’re born, we should devote ourselves entirely to our own lives and make them fulfilling—words that express his stance and his love for his fans and fellow musicians.
Imagination is everything. To me, it’s bigger than reality.YOSHIKI
It means that the power to move the reality unfolding before our eyes begins with imagination.
These are words that could only come from YOSHIKI, who has overcome various hardships and sorrows by continually envisioning the future—how he wants to be and what he wants to do.
You can also feel the strength to keep moving forward, always believing in and cherishing what you imagine, no matter the circumstances.
It sounds like a strong message from YOSHIKI that imagination can transform reality.
We exist thanks to our fans. As you become a rock star, you can end up forgetting that. But hide never did. He often reminded me of it, too.YOSHIKI
When people achieve success, they tend to forget those who helped and supported them along the way, and mistakenly believe they reached their goals through their own power alone.
Precisely because they attained unprecedented success, hide’s presence—reminding even the leader, YOSHIKI, never to forget this—was likely indispensable to the band.
Even if it’s not a monumental success like X JAPAN’s, this quote is one that will remind us of what truly matters when we achieve our dreams and goals.
Originally, the X in X JAPAN was chosen to mean “infinite possibilities.”YOSHIKI
From past to present, X JAPAN brought the not-so-mainstream genre of metal into Japanese living rooms, proving that its possibilities are limitless.
Moreover, by incorporating classical elements in addition to traditional metal, they expanded the depth and potential of the genre itself—truly embodying the origin of their name.
It’s a quote that validates their unique presence, perfectly suited to the name X, which also signifies the unknown.
It’s important to believe that dreams will surely come true. If you doubt yourself even a little, they stop coming true.YOSHIKI
When we have a dream or a goal, we believe we can definitely achieve it and begin working toward it.
However, as we proceed along that path, we may start to see our abilities more objectively, or feel no change in our situation no matter how hard we think we’re trying—running into various obstacles.
But if we start to doubt the future at that point, won’t we lose the drive to keep striving? This quote teaches us that believing we can absolutely do it is the most important thing when pursuing our dreams and goals.
If the choice is to ride the times or to create them, I want to be on the side that creates the times.YOSHIKI
These are memorable words that convey YOSHIKI’s strong leadership—not just celebrating present success, but creating music for the future.
You can also feel his conviction about music: rather than chasing current trends, he wants to keep making new music that only they can create.
Shaping an era inevitably comes with challenges, but these words are quintessentially YOSHIKI—unbound by the present and always acting with the future in mind.
