The best band in Japan?

i have 3 i like-x-japan,ezo (flatbacker),and loudness. it's a shame what happened to hide :(

They are one of my favorite bands. Yoshiki is great drummer.

you can't deny the fact that they are a legend in japan. They are known as the 'Fathers of Japanese rock' and their songs are really good.

I must agree.. X Japan was the first j-rock band I heard and I instantly just fell in love with their music. Not only that, but they also opened up my mind for music in other languages. Nevertheless, X Japan remain my favourite Japanese band of all. I only discovered them once they had already disbanded - I was SO sad! So now I'm so excited that they've reunited (although without hide.. and that makes me sad) and if they come to London, I'll just cry with happiness. If they don't... I don't even want to think of that possibility.

hmmmmm...malice mizer. when Gackt was stillthere. lol! i also like UVERworld.

I think X Japan is one of the most enduring bands, despite all that they have been through with breaking up and losing hide. People still listen to X Japan, and their music has only continued to spread and gain popularity world-wide. Their music is so universal and beautiful. They established themselves and have continued to grow in spite of everything. Even the projects of the band members away from X Japan have seen relative success. Yoshiki has done so much, worked with so many other musicians. A lot of young bands all over Asia have so much respect for X Japan. It's really touching and just goes to show what a phenomenon X Japan has become.
