YOSHIKI's famous and popular songs (31–40)

ENDLESS RAINX JAPAN

X Japan – Endless Rain [PV]
ENDLESS RAINX JAPAN

This song was also selected as the theme song for a film.

Even those who dislike X JAPAN’s heavier side might find this ballad agreeable.

It’s emblematic of X JAPAN’s style of ballad, blending orchestra and rock within a grand, expansive soundscape.

It’s a beautiful ballad with a strong emphasis on strings.

It’s becoming a staple at live shows (though we hardly ever perform live).

That said, it’s a really hard song to sing.

The key is way too high.

But it’s precisely because TOSHI can handle that that YOSHIKI writes songs like this.

It’s truly a piece brought to life by the teamwork of the two of them.

I.V.X JAPAN

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.

As you can see in the video, they’re doing something bold in true X JAPAN fashion.

They shot the music video on a rooftop of a building in the middle of the city (L.A.).

In a sense, they pulled off something flashy right in the heart of “enemy territory.” The song is mid-tempo, but each note feels weighty.

X (X Japan) – Kurenai [Original Japanese Version] (Rockin’f)

This is a song so famous that it’s practically synonymous with X JAPAN.

The chorus lyrics are extremely well-known.

Many people sing it at karaoke because it’s so cool, but be careful—its high key and long instrumental break often cause the mood to fizzle out.
