UNDER CONSTRUCTION
UPDATED 29-OCTOBER-1998
It all began with the brainchild of Yoshiki, the talented and gifted brainchild behind most of X-Japan's music and success along with his friend Toshi at his side.
The band formed in 1982, but didn't
fully grow until a few years later. Their original bassist, Taiji, quit a few years ago and Heath took over. And they finally came out with their first
hit album in 1988, and didn't stop there. With many million selling ablums
and singles which hit #1 during the first week of coming out, X made quite an
impression (internationally too). Not only that, they appeared on the Kiss album "Kiss My @ss" on the song "Black Pearl". The amount of loyal fans grew over the years, but as of September 22, 1997, X-Japan officially disbanded. The reasons were because Toshi decided to leave due to personal conflicts. On May 2 (?), Hide committed suicide. It could have possibly been an accident, since he was incredibly intoxicated.
Recently there has been a lot of talk surrounding Toshi and his involvement with the cult, Masaya. More info posted soon.
