The story bigins when Yoshiki and Toshi was still a primary students. They
formed the band when the were only 12 years old. First, their band named
"Dynamite". After that, they changed the band name to "Noise" and "X".
At first, Yoshiki didn't want to use this name "X" forever but finally
he became to like it.
The member of "X" had been changed many many times but Yoshiki and Toshi
never left "X". In 1987. hide, Pata and Taiji joined the band. They released
their first indies album named "Vannishing Vision" in 1988. After that,
they released their first album with "Extasy Record" named "Blue Blood"
in 1989. Because of this album, "X" became a famuos rock band in Japan.
They released their second album "Jealousy' in 1991. In 1992, they had
a chance to perform their live consert at Tokyo Dome for 3 days. Taiji
left the band this year. In August 1992, "X" was renamed to "X Japan" because
there was a band named "X" in the States. Heath joinned the band. In August
1993, they released their mini album "Art Of Life". It's a very long long
song.
They kept release their single until 1996 they released their last album
"Dahlia". On 22 September 1997, Yoshiki, hide, Pata and Heath announced
the disbandment, 5 months after Toshi has quit the band (he quit on 20
April 1997). 31 December 1997, the performed their last live "The Last
Live" at Tokyo Dome. Yoshiki did the last memorial song of "X Japan" named

Last Song" and it's in the album "Ballad Collections". This is
where the story ends. But "X" will be on our mind forever.
