X JAPAN from 82 till 97 



From a small college stage till a huge stage of Tokyo Dome, let us watch X JAPAN's ascension, in pictures 

Two friends sharing a common destiny, that how it started X to exist same year I was born. Sometimes I stay and think how would I be without their music 

there were long days of hardship back then at the beginnings but they made it trough as heroes

in the begining no one acknowledged their work , no one was kind to publish them . X Japan was a pioneer band in their country, they were a part of a new trend that catch on public like a tsunami, like a hot wave. The change their hair loock and color shocking the public, let us not forget that 39 years ago Japan was more conservatory country. Old ways were setting the trend, what X Japan did was to bring a breath of fresh air in the music field and sustain the Japanese Rock movement.

 time was against them from the start, so in order to produce and promo their music Yoshiki created his own music production agency. It was hard but they will always remember smiling the times when they did everything together, from glueing lables on the casettes until concert distributions.I might have posted a similar entry about them therefore I apologies, i was just longing .. 

in the hope that you enjoyed browsing with me some old pictures I am very grateful that you chose to read another entry in HIDE's Blog this Sunday.
