X Japan returning to the US, playing Madison Square Garden
by Ian Chainey
Japan X
Long-running heavy metallers/visual kei stylists X Japan are returning to the United States for a special engagement at Madison Square Garden on October 11. It will mark the first time the Japanese quintet has performed in America since 2010. The upcoming show was recently teased by bandleader Yoshiki at a solo date in San Francisco, which was soon confirmed by the band's website. Ticket information and related details have yet to be announced but should be available soon via Ticketmaster.
If you're thinking, Wait, what. . .is playing MSG, here's a quick and dirty primer: While X Japan never broke big here, they're adored by an ardent base of fanatical followers all of the world. Formed in 1982, X unified rousing power metal with the over-the-top dress and hair of the visual kei scene, helping to further the latter's rise as one of the dominate pop phenomenons of '90s Japan. If you can picture Helloween made-over by '70s Bowie and '80s Simon Le Bon, you're in the ballpark. Their first real taste of success was 1989's Blue Blood, an hour-plus amalgamation of J-pop, hair metal, guitar heroics, and ripping speed metal. Their follow-up, 1991's Jealousy, debuted at number one on the Oricon charts and quickly crested one million albums sold. In 1992, X became X Japan after moving to Atlantic Records with eyes set on conquering the States. It didn't quite go down as planned, but no matter. The group had no qualms settling on inspiring an absolute frenzy at home.
X Japan split in 1997 and their future was put into further doubt when original shredder Hide passed away in 1998. However, the outfit reformed in 2007 and has been touring with a steady lineup from 2008 on. While their albums are worthy, the group is primarily known for their live performances, having released a dizzying amount of documentation. And now you can see them in the flesh and catch the buzz of an entire stadium going bonkers. Or, hey, perhaps you'll be purchasing a ticket as a re-acquaintance: You could've caught them in 2010 at Lollapalooza or in NYC at the Roseland Ballroom around the time Yoshiki appeared at Comic Con. Meanwhile, Yoshiki's classical solo world tour continues this weekend in Mexico.
Interest piqued? Check out the Blue Blood album, a Blue Blood-era show, and the nearly four-hour(!) The Last Live, below...

YOSHIKI, currently touring the world to promote his latest classical album, announced during his concert in San Francisco recently that X JAPAN will hold a concert at Madison Square Garden in New York. The concert will take place on October 11th. More details will be announced at a later date. With this concert, X JAPAN will be the second Japanese band headlining at Madison Square Garden, after L'Arc~en~Ciel's concert there in 2012.
But that is not the only news about X JAPAN, who sorely tried the patience of their fans for years now. The band has finally announced a release date for their new album. Celebrating their 25th anniversary as a band in 2014, X JAPAN will release their best-of album titled THE WORLD～X JAPAN Hatsu no zensekai best～ on June 17th.
Already on May 21st, it will be digitally released in 111 countries worldwide via iTunes, titled X JAPAN WORLD BEST. The digital as well as physical release will contain remastered versions of X JAPAN's songs from their beginning in 1989 until now, plus two live versions of X and Without You.
The CD release in June will come in regular and limited editions, each containing more tracks than the digital release. While the regular edition contains two CDs only, the limited edition is furnished with an additional DVD featuring an exclusive trailer of their world tour from 2009 to 2011 as well as a 60-page photo book of this tour.
