Amplified: X-Japan (extended) 

Interviewer: "So you just bought it?" Yoshiki:"Yeah" #MostGangstaEver!!

When he said : "i just smile" and then he smiled ,#badass

He can totally make it. If America doesn't embrace him then it's an idiot and blind to this man's genius. I am hoping and praying they go on tour soon!

Could sense the sorrow Yoshiki felt when he was talking about hide.

It's nice to see a band where the drummer is the mastermind. I myself am a guitarist, but I know plenty of musically brilliant drummers and Ive never really supported the whole "drumming's not real music" thing. I'm kinda excited to discover these guys, but nervous that, in 2014, I can't buy their new album... Plus, can we just talk about how this guy bought a studio right out from underneath Metalica? He's one of my favorite people just for that

To Dan Harris, firstly, its YOshiKI not YOshiki. Secondly, I've played classical music, in an orchestra, and it's pretty obvious how similar heavy metal music is to it. X Japan's music, if you have an ear for music, you'll see is simply classical music that Yoshiki wrote out on the piano, and then transposed it for guitar. He has basically said that he writes this way. Then he'd hand the band their parts to learn. If you transposed the guitar parts and bass parts for violin and cello, you'd think you were listening to classical music. In a translated interview I read, Yoshiki handed the band their parts that he'd written out, and PATA looked at it and said "What the fu*k?!" It sounds in solos like they may just be shredding or improvising, but they're not. Every solo is written out (mostly by Yoshiki) and learned by the band.

Don't forget on October 11, X Japan are coming back to New York and for the first time in their career, they are performing at the World's Most Famous Venue, the Mecca. Madison Square Garden. I expect it to be a huge success at MSG. Like 21,000+ people rocking out to X Japan and make their big impact for the USA to be recognized. The Asian Invasion needs to come take over the U.S by storm. We've already had the British, Australian and Canadian Invasions. And now Japan's most successful rock band needs to make a major impact on American culture.

Metal and classic music not a obvious combination are you kidding!!!

Yoshiki knows perfectly what he´s talking i mean he had now 45 years right. Now he put everything into this since 35 years ago so please listen X-Japan´s songs before said this he´s a master trusth mee guys ken2000X the concert in LA was amazing i´m wainting for X-Japan´s new album im a huge fan i am 15 years old and i start listening X-Japan when i had 6 years. We are X!!!!

I AM X FOREVER

If they wanna make it, they better start putting out new work first. Where is that album that was supposed to be released this year? I have been a fan of theirs since I lived in Japan in the 90s as a kid and I am still waiting. Had hide not died, he would have made it here big by now, because he was producing work. Don't get me wrong, they are still my favorite band.

WE ARE X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Holy fuck, it's like this guy never ages! He's still so damn attractive. @_@

"He has become the face of the band." He was always the face of the band. It's his band and he is the bandleader. Every member is important and a fantastic musician and plays an integral role, but without Yoshiki, there is no X. Yoshiki is X, and X is Yoshiki. Amazing how he found the perfect musicians to play his music though. And contribute great works as well (Hide & Taiji mostly).

have you ever watched any video of hide :P? hide was very very manly in my opinion XD while all members called yoshiki "hime" which means princess in japanese XD

I love these guys. that Hide hologram thing was freaky. I understand why h got so emotional. X Japan = SUGOI!!!

hide is synyster gate's brother

love how he just brought the whole studio :L

the bono of japan? thats an insult!!!!

COME BACK TO THE U.S. AGAIN SOMEDAY X-JAPAN!!!

Yoshiki ❤❤❤

Omg I love them sooo much

Oh, Yoshiki and hide ❤ WE ARE X!

Woohoo!!!!! YOSHIKI!!!! X will make it here in the States! WE ARE X!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

there song named I.V.

Not a big Asian act that has broke through in America to his knowledge. What about Dir en grey?

not surprisingly, most of the american fans are japanese american

Hey that me I sound super nervous lol

fuck i almost cry with this video, i love x we are fucking X!!!!

you know what for a band that hails from japan they actually speak very good understandable english

but why not dir en grey. yoshiki said it himself that dir en grey was one of the reasons why he brought back X and came to play for america.

I always felt like X Japan's musical style were three legendary rock bands, Scorpions, Poison, and Guns N Roses. Because they had so many powerful ballads.

2:47, i need that song !!!!

I've been listening to their songs for 3 weeks now and I must say that Yoshiki incorporated rock and ballad beautifully! Hell, I don't care if it costs me $100+ just to get my hands on their Last Live DVD!! Hands down to this band!

The song is "JADE"

Recognized the guy behind Yoshiki? His face is awesome, when Yoshiki splashes with all the water xD

I've always thought of them as Japan's Motley Crue.

I just found out about this band/person/thingy, what was the song in the beginning?

wat is 7:06 - 7:10

JADE

Girl. n.n
