Blue Blood [Special Edition] [Bonus CD] The Japanese didn't invent '80s rock, but they sure took it to heart, and Blue Blood is definite proof of that if there ever was one. On this record, X-Japan move through the hard rock variations of their time with the ease of Ritchie Blackmore whipping out the "Smoke on the Water" riff for the umpteenth time. There's even a glam rock detour ("Easy Fight Rambling") and a power ballad, although for the most part the band is content to rock their hearts out, staying on the coordinate grid set by Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses, Queensrÿche and perhaps updated Thin Lizzy, with the results being not too far from what Helloween were doing at the time. Whether or not the Germans influenced X-Japan is up for debate, but the similarities are obvious, as the Japanese exhibit the same aptness for combining menacing guitar work with anthemic -- or rather, in this case, cinematic -- hook-laden melodies and performing it at a tempo able to get them a speeding ticket on a highway. Blue Blood is rounded out by the raspy but strong voice of Toshi, progressive tendencies (the 11-plus minute "Rose of Pain" has more ambition than a young politicians seminar), and a handful of good, if not entirely original, riffs. Although parts of the record may be seen as pompous or goofy, the album generally packs enough skill and enthusiasm to deliver the goods on par with its best genre associates, even if clearly following in their footsteps. [Sony/BMG's 2008 Special Edition included a bonus CD.] X Japan Blue Blood. Blue Blood marked the beginning of what X Japan was to become. It’s really as simple as that. No longer were they a mere speed metal act with classical aesthetics (as their debut album Vanishing Vision portrayed), but now the band had become more. Blue Blood was the genesis of X Japan’s transcendence into a state of near-perfection. To this day, it is widely acclaimed to be the band’s finest hour; their greatest moment. In writing this review, I find I have quite the problem. It certainly isn’t easy, as X Japan are hard enough to describe as is. Furthermore, I’m sure no one wants to read a repeat of my previous foray into the band’s domain, simply reworked for a new album. So, where to begin with Blue Blood ? Well, this is the album that first showcased X Japan’s gravitation to a more progressive, experimental sound. While it still retains plenty of heavy metal bliss, the emphasis this time was more on creating an experience. To create said experience, X Japan would embrace a more light- hearted sound on Blue Blood . The band also began to focus its attention on creating some of the most memorable metal ballads ever written. Right from the album’s introduction, “Prologue (World Anthem),” can a listener notice the distinct differences in X Japan’s approach. This wonderfully melodic instrumental features some of the best guitar work on the album. X Japan’s string slingers, hide and Pata, seem to intertwine perfectly. Their playing is extremely staid when compared to the rest of the album; it’s almost serene. As the song continues, the music gradually fades away, to be replaced by a hauntingly distorted voice, who growls: “ All of the hate and all of the sadness have melted away nothing remains here closeby, I see love trying to take a shape as I reach out for it the love breaks up before my very eyes everywhere, there flows. blue blood ” There in lies the grand vision of X Japan’s music. While it’s both chilling and disturbing at times, so to is it calm and tranquil. The band’s new creative ideals are mostly due to the influence of pianist/percussionist Yoshiki. X Japan’s affinity for its new direction grew out of Yoshiki’s love of classical music. Speaking of said love, it’s certainly evident in Yoshiki’s musicianship; particularly when he’s behind the keys. Yoshiki is quite literally a master of his respective instruments. He’s also something of a musical genius. These two qualities are displayed flagrantly on “Unfinished.” Blue Blood is the first album to actually feature the ‘finished’ version of this song. “Unfinished” was originally released on X Japan’s first album, in a form not unlike its name. The song was a little over a minute and a half long, and cut off abruptly. While the incomplete version made for a stunning album ender on Vanishing Vision , the whole thing is absolutely incredible as a conclusion to Blue Blood . Yoshiki’s piano work is sheer brilliance. It exudes emotion and depth, and manages to retain all sense of form throughout. Yoshiki is accompanied by his band mates (and even himself, multi-tracked on drums) as the song plays out, yet nothing can steal his thunder on the piano. Yoshiki’s (and the band in general’s) skills are also displayed most impressively on “Kurenai.” Like “Unfinished,” “Kurenai” is also a re-release of a song from Vanishing Vision . However, on Blue Blood “Kurenai” is performed by vocalist Toshi completely in Japanese, as opposed to English on Vanishing Vision . Unlike “Unfinished,” though, this ballad showcases the skills of Yoshiki as a drummer. Once again, the man can’t help but astound. Though his work maybe overshadowed slightly by the other instruments (particularly hide and Pata’s marvelous guitar work), Yoshiki manages to (once again) make his presence known, if only to those who have to listen that much harder. “Week End” and “Endless Rain” are also built off of Yoshiki’s piano (the latter, in particular). However, both of these songs place more emphasis on the band as a whole, so Yoshiki doesn’t stand out as much. This is actually quite refreshing. These two songs show that the band can work together with a near telepathic link (the former, in particular). It’s a lovely thing to behold. Blue Blood isn’t all art, though. Songs such as “Orgasm,” “X,” and “Easy Fight Rambling” (especially the former) show that X Japan can rock with the best of them (as well as write slightly debauched songs). On these parts of the album, the efforts of hide, Pata, and bassist Taiji are the main attractions musically. Taiji, while generally shunted behind X Japan’s other members scores plenty of impressive, yet subtle basslines on Blue Blood . His deep, rich sound has its own distinctive sound; one that happens to be damned impressive. hide and Pata prove, as usual, to be the perfect coefficients to each other. The duo sets up plenty of sonic mayhem on Blue Blood , but does so in a usually coherent fashion. Their furious, highly technical riffs mix with there swan-song solos in perfect synergy. This just helps X Japan create a deeper sound, that’s altogether easier to lose yourself in. “Xclamation” and “Celebration” fall into a category that’s in-between the edgiest that Blue Blood has to offer, and the most tasteful. “Xclamation” is an instrumental of sorts (disregarding a little inaudible dialogue), which is one of the main forms of expression for the band. There are parts for every instrument here, but “Xclamation” quickly becomes Taiji’s domain, as it contains a fantastic bassline of his that quickly develops into a full- blown solo. “Celebration” actually sounds more like an 80s hair metal song more than anything. This is due mostly in-part to the flamboyant guitar work, and sheer sense of attitude that oozes from the song. “Celebration” is certainly the most accessible of any song on Blue Blood , and therefore the easiest to enjoy. Up until now, I’ve been rather neglectful of X Japan’s front man, Toshi. That’s because Blue Blood has two wildcards that carry it to a realm of supreme excellence.

Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
