r/xjapan

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my experience finding X Japan late last year.

I’m a huge rock/metal fan and was trying to find something new to listen to. I came across an article which listed a few metal epics and sure enough Art of Life was on there. It may be an understatement when I say my mind was blown. I listened to this song on repeat for weeks without any thought to listen to anything else they have released.

I even wrote down the song order of how I got into them. It was Art of Life, Silent Jealousy, Rusty Nail, Endless Rain, Jade then Week End.

Now, after several months of listening to them regularly I can honestly say they’re now one of my favourite bands. What an incredible group of musicians.

It sucks that I have only discovered them now they’re gone (again). What a thrill it must have been to see them live.

When did you first hear them? What was the first song you heard? Please share your experiences!

hey, does anyone know any legit items that are signed by toshi that anyone could link me?? cds, poster or anything else?? my sisters birthday is coming up and she absolutely loves toshi so I wanted to see if I could do anything for her. I would appreciate it, thank you!!
