Taiji's work in X cannot be compared with others. Without Taiji , the X's song has changed it's style .And they renamed to X Japan. There is big difference between the songs with Taiji and Heath.

there was already a band called x is why they changed the name to x japan

Yup, Yoshiki renaming the band X Japan has nothing to do with Taiji leaving the band. And on a side note, no matter how much I love Taiji as a musician (and I really do!), he sucked big time as a solo artist. Taiji & Dirty Trash Road is probably the most uninspired, generic, radio-friendly, cheap rock/country music I've ever listened to. Not much better than elevator music, honestly. I wouldn't believe it when some people told me that as far as songwriting is concerned, his leaving X Japan was not a big loss. That is, until I started to listen to his solo work. Huge disappointment, really. The real mastermind behind X Japan has always been Yoshiki. He's the one who wrote all the band's greatest songs. Sheer technical prowess in itself is insignificant without the ability to write good songs. It's like being the best and the fastest at deboning a chicken or at peeling and chopping onions perfectly, and yet being totally incapable of cooking a decent meal. Total waste of talent, IMHO.... Oh, and one last thing. X Japan's change in musical style is not related to Taiji's departure. It was mostly due to Yoshiki's health problems, namely cervical herniated disc. That's why he's had to wear a neck brace on stage for more than 20 years now. And that's why there are very few intense, fast-paced rock songs on the album Dahlia, and what we got instead was mostly ballads. And once again, this is nothing new. Taiji had already complained many times before that the band had gotten too soft and was now appealing mostly to teenage girls because of songs such as Endless Rain, Unfinished or Say Anything. He wanted the band to go back to its roots and to a much heavier sound, just like when they were playing to a male audience in live houses. But Yoshiki was adamant. He kept telling Taiji "this is *MY* band and I'll do whatever *I* want. If you don't like it, just leave". The only other band member Yoshiki would listen to was hide, nobody else. He was the one who could persuade Yoshiki to do things he was reluctant to do. hide's untimely death is what really killed the band.

RIP Heath ❤️‍🩹

ベースの概念を超越しとる

真珠夫人 ヽ(^｡^)丿いぇーいのおじさん

声がまた優しい

狂愛TAiJi その通り

わかるわー

ベースラインのセンスとかテクニック含めると天才ですよね しかも超かっこいい

なんかTAIJIだけ会場の雰囲気が違う 他のは観客ノリノリやけど、TAIJIのだけは静かに魅入ってる 会場全体が魔法かけられたみたいに異様な雰囲気に包まれてる それほどの技術、カリスマ性、凄みがある

@@user-wx4fv1iw7e 当時、Xの追っかけだったので、大抵の会場にいましたが Xのソロは基本、静かに 聴き漏らしがないように 皆、集中して聴いていたものです あまりに真剣に聴き入り過ぎて、卒倒して担架で運ばれる人や ライブ中ずっと泣き叫んでいる人も多くいました ファンも 【瞬間の美学】に生きていたんですね もう当時のソロが聴けないと思うと 何だか淋しいもんです

more like best in the world

i&MinaInLove correction, the best in the world !

A lot of people think he his death wasn't really suicide.

totally true, nobody compares to Taiji

Same haha

いいそうw

yoshiki その生き様、TAIJIて名前の五感すらかっこいい

?ノブナガ ハングリー精神やない？俺も昔の人凄いと思う。 タイジは正に別格！

確か20代前半だったはずですね！本当にTAIJIさんは化け物だったと思います！

X事態、別格だよ(≡・x・≡)上手い下手叩かれてるけど(ネット) 今でも世界で活躍してんだぜ。 小さいとき親にVHS見せて 日本のビートルズなるねて言ってたぜ笑 5歳でX知って今でも聴いてるよ(35歳) メロディが心に残るんだよな(*ゝ｀ω・)

HIDEとTAIJIは当時からおかしかったと思うよ あまりにも時代を先取りし過ぎて そんなメンバーが2人もいたらXはそりゃ音楽業界の覇者にもなれるよ

何を観てこうなったかじゃなくて、誰よりもベースを観て診て魅せられたからなんだと思いますよ

檸檬蜃寧 その2人が飛び抜け。ついていけるのはJのみ

Trueeeee boh the GOD

オリジナリティーならタイジより押し❗タイジも凄いですよぬか

それな！！(≧▽≦)
