I am so so so so so happy that you guys watched X Japan!!! Thank you so much for your mum!! I've got so many recommended songs from them, but maybe "Jade"?? They've got dramatic story of their band life...but music is still there and powerful!
Well you finally reacted to the best band in Japan's history. Happy you liked it. I recommend you the live version of「SILENT JEALOUSY」1992.1.7 for some more good stuff.
Thanks. Finally X Japan. Brings back old memories. I requested them sometime ago in one of your One Ok Rock's reactions. Your Mom has great taste in music. Thanks to her you finally got to react to them. I went to Japan just to watch X Japan but "hide" was long gone by then. He is my 2nd fav guitarists of all time. Last live was their farewell concert. At the height of their popularity, they disbanded. They have so many songs like Art of Life, We Are X, Rusty Nail, Rose of Pain, Endless Rain, Forever Love.etc etc. Yoshiki, the drummer founded X Japan with his kindergarten classmate Toshi, the vocalist. By the way, Yoshiki is a classical pianist🤗
My mom also introduced me to X Japan when I was around 12 y/old in the beginning of the 2000 and I fell in love with their music all the way here in Mexico
this is the exact first video i saw and listen to xjapan songs after so many times it keep bumbing on my youtube playlist, even i know about them from a documentary way back then... when you listen to xjapan.. u just cant stop listening to their songs... never regret!
I listen x Japan since I have 12 years old, (I'm 23) and they're like an mix of passion, angry, sadness, I don't know, they make you feel like, oh yeah I need it at every moment jaja :)
My favourite band since 1999, the year I discovered their music,before it was ACDC.Too bad they are not very famous in my country (France).They deserve worldwide recognition.
this is a great song to react to. IF YOU WANT YOUR SOUL TO CRY ALL THE TEARS i mean it really is beautiful but i haven't once watched that clip without crying for a few hours. this whole live is so bittersweet ;__;
@@helenkrzywon6778 The first time I saw the full concert I almost cried when it got to Forever Love, knowing that they would play it at Hide's funeral after this.... shit sucks
Omg I love seeing the look on people's faces when they hear X Japan for the first time. This is the song and band that started my lifelong love for japanese music and playing the guitar 😎
I can only say by me too this Band is my love and they started my love for Japanese rock/ metal when I was 13 that's almost 20 years gone but my love is with them
Man I used to be so obsessed with this band when I was younger. 7 years later and I still have this song on my playlist. You should also check out Art of Life by the same band if you have the time.
oh yesss, i also recommended X Japan (i'm not Kai's mom) :D They are the most iconic Japanese group. The drummer - Yoshiki, he also is classic trained pianist and created big part of the songs also his Extasy Records is OG in Japan. He created and performed to Japan's emperor "Anniversary". They have many many epic ballads and long ass song :D One of my favorite "Art of life", it is 20-30 min long and there are rock parts with vocal and crazy just piano parts. Other very long and super crazy song "Orugasmu" it's just instrumental, but really mind blowing 15 min instrument craziness. (i just watched second time Bohemian rhapsody and remember there was complain that song is 6 min long) XD This concert is most epic, every X Japan fan should see it all. After this concert they break up and back again after 15 years
In the words of Gene Simmons (Kiss), "if they sang in English, this could be the biggest band in the world." Yes, they are that good. Is there any other X Japan songs you should give a listen? Yes, all of them.
My mom is a huge X Japan fan too. Turned me on to them as a kid. Still my favorite band all these years later. Rusty Nail, Tears, Drain, Art of Life, Without You are a few favorites. Born To Be Free & Jade are some recent bangers
That is hilarious that his mom told him about X-Japan. She must have been in Japan in the 80's then? Funny is that he looks to be at LEAST the same age as me if not older, and I discovered X-Japan around 1999 when I was in high school, which was a couple years after this final show before they broke up. Crazy to think it has already been about 10 years since this band got back together and they STILL have not released a new album..
This isnt just a band, its a religion. Best band in history (says an Australian haha) And they started the visual kei genre. You should react to some Visual kei artists, I'd recommend to get into it, the Gazette's "Distress and Coma" or Versailles' "God Palace" Both bands are masters of their instruments and are amazing amazing amazing live. I'd recommend them solely, because I reckon you'd love them.
I went to this last live in 1997, did not expect I can watch X Japan again in 10years even though Hide is not included. Hope they will come to Australia for next world tour cause I’m living in Sydney now. We are X
@@pippopippis7632 Some of us are also: We are Babymetal. :-) No seriously, Babymetal has many references to X-Japan (even Su-metal birthday is the same year and month I believe as the last live). Babymetal even plays at the same venues X-Japan did, I believe it's all on purpose. If it wasn't for Babymetal I wouldn't known X-Japan. I knew nothing about Japanese bands.
You need to react to X Japan - X (Kyoto Sports Valley 1988.09.04) X Japan is the biggest band in Japan and really Asia. They were a revelation at the time. They are a huge reason why there are alot of female metal bands in Japan (well them and the all female band Show-Ya, who you guys should probably also react to lol). You'll see alot of girls in their audiences. The song X is like their anthem. They have alot of great performances but really all you need to know about this one is that at the end the crowd is just looking around dazed and in shock at what they have just witnessed.
If there anyone out there who is curious and questioned about what's on the drummer's neck, yoshiki once was sick, and eventually he had has major surgery. But look at how he played in this video.
They are world famous, especially in Japan, I guess his mom is Japanese ? Well, I assume Asian at least (no idea) . They've been around for a very long time, had to stop for a while. There is so much history behind this band, they are a great inspiration for Babymetal. I can't imagine no Babymetal fan has mentioned them yet. I think we had by now... They have a November Rain like song, which is older than Guns N Roses, also played with piano... probably no coincidence. :-)
So cool. I been wanting to request xjapan for awhile now! Ur mom must be an awesome lady! Well, maybe u guys can react to Spyair, samuri heart, also from Japan and I believe some of their songs are in anime's. Please and thank you for videos. 😎
This is 1997, but the song was actually released in 1989. First time I saw X-Japan they were doing this exact song at Kouhaku Utagassen (Red & White Show) New Years Eve, can't remember if it was 92 or 93. I didn't know who they were, but they had HUGE hair and wore tons of makeup, and they played this song and it blew me away. I still have the performance on a VHS tape in a milk crate somewhere along with a bunch of other years (90s). I should dig them all out and digitize them or see if someone else on these interwebs has already done that and saved me the trouble.
This is Tokyo Dome. X Japan has the record for more sold out performances at Tokyo Dome, despite being banned from playing there since 2009 because whenever they would play the song X the band and the audience would jump and it triggered the earthquake alarms or something like that they were told that it was prohibited since the 90’s but they kept encouraging it, so. they got banned
Looked at a bunch of comments, but didn't see it fully state Yoshiko's (drummer) neck. Like someone said, it's from excessive drumming, but also the doctor told him not to drum as it could cripple him... But guess what? That was before this video was made. XD But after this he stopped drumming for years, but then in 2007 (probably 2006) X Japan reunited and he went back to play drums. As for Hide (pink haired guitarist) many Japanese rock guitarist were influenced by him and when he passed away apparently the whole country was in morning. His friends put on a birthday party each year celebrating Hide's music. But the whole band (group & individuals) are legends.
I highly recommend you guys to watch their documentary “WE ARE X” movie.. everything bout the history of the band you guys will know. The ups n down. The tragedy, the sadness, the happiness... it’s just beautiful..
Watch "We Are X" for a new appreciation for their music! 👍 Also, Rust Nail/Dahlia/Weekend...or any of the ballads are a must...heck, all their music is phenomenal!
HighSpeed StrongStyle that’s 100% Endless Rain and Say Anything. Did you see the NRNR performance where Yui and Mo were ‘playing’ Yoshiki’s crystal piano with a neckbrace ?
Great reaction! They're amazing :) Always love peoples reaction to the shift from slow to heavy haha. Fun fact, RM from BTS is a fan of X Japan (though I think he prefers their ballads)
I'm only 20 seconds into this video and I already love your mom, she has great taste in music ! :)
I am so so so so so happy that you guys watched X Japan!!! Thank you so much for your mum!! I've got so many recommended songs from them, but maybe "Jade"?? They've got dramatic story of their band life...but music is still there and powerful!

Hide was the Eddie Van Halen of Japan. We love and miss u Hide.
? hide was great but if you talk about guitar technique, akira takasaki is the man.
Van halen is dead
I think hide is the greatist guitar hero.
Akira takasaki??what level that man..
And now Eddie is jamming with Hide in heaven. RIP Hide and Eddie
You have a awesome Mom!
X Japan is a Legend!
My mom also introduced me to X Japan when I was around 12 y/old in the beginning of the 2000 and I fell in love with their music all the way here in Mexico
highly recommend - X Japan - ART OF LIFE
will take forever
incredible song, but it is almost 30 minutes long.

this is the exact first video i saw and listen to xjapan songs after so many times it keep bumbing on my youtube playlist, even i know about them from a documentary way back then... when you listen to xjapan.. u just cant stop listening to their songs... never regret!

Yoshiki the drummer wearing a neck brace because of extreme drum act..and BABYMETAL used a neck brace too as a tribute for X-JAPAN
I listen x Japan since I have 12 years old, (I'm 23) and they're like an mix of passion, angry, sadness, I don't know, they make you feel like, oh yeah I need it at every moment jaja :)
just one more things... WE ARE X
My favourite band since 1999, the year I discovered their music,before it was ACDC.Too bad they are not very famous in my country (France).They deserve worldwide recognition.
every concert they give in Europe gets sold out... pretty much they have the recognition already.....
Love your reaction ! We are X
, we are X!
That`s right !
React X Japan endless rain (the last live) 😍😍😍
Wipa U. Yes! I requested this before but got overlooked. This one can’t be missed!
this is a great song to react to.
IF YOU WANT YOUR SOUL TO CRY ALL THE TEARS
i mean it really is beautiful but i haven't once watched that clip without crying for a few hours.
this whole live is so bittersweet ;__;
@@helenkrzywon6778 The first time I saw the full concert I almost cried when it got to Forever Love, knowing that they would play it at Hide's funeral after this.... shit sucks
hell yes
I don't cry easily, knowing that Hide died then watching the Last Live really makes it more emotional... Damn... TT__TT
Thank for reacting it!!!!!!!!!!
😊😊😊👍👍
Congrats, you have an awesome mom. And glad you enjoyed. Love this band, and still miss hide.

Lol guys, I'll be 63 this month and I ADORE X Japan! Us "old people" know what good music is!
My mom is a huge X Japan fan too. Turned me on to them as a kid. Still my favorite band all these years later. Rusty Nail, Tears, Drain, Art of Life, Without You are a few favorites. Born To Be Free & Jade are some recent bangers
YEEEEEES!! PLEASE MORE OF X JAPAN! thank you 🙌❤👏
DAMN!!!!! I love X JAPAN, especially TEARS
Thank you for your good reaction. That drummer Yoshiki is also an amazing pianist. I hope you get to react to that someday, too :)

Show Ya is really good. And there are recent video if i am not mistaken and the vocalist still got powerful voice over those years!
Take the time to watch the film about this band. It's called "We Are X". An excellent film about all the trials they went through!
they are the legend of japanese rock band!!!!
it's been 2 years and every time I listen to X japan I thought of this video "You mom listen to this???" 😂😂
Well, now you know the origin of the neck protector in "headbanger" from Babymetal. It´s a tribute for Yoshiki
If there anyone out there who is curious and questioned about what's on the drummer's neck, yoshiki once was sick, and eventually he had has major surgery. But look at how he played in this video.
紅！！最高！！！hide😭😭😭
My favorite song from x japan
Woohoo finally! Thanks 😁
Best band ever
I recommended X Japan to my son too 😂
Listen to a band called GLAY that also have wonderful guitar solos
I misses hide so much! 😢😔
rip hide 💖

BabyMetal’s Akatsuki reminds me of X-Japan’s Kurenai.
Koba is a huge fan and Yoshiki helped write at least one of their songs
Akatsuki is a tribute to Kurenai and Silent Jealousy
