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 , 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, and , 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 . 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 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. One of them is Toshi’s fantastic multi-lingual vocal-work, which holds every song on the album together. X Japan just wouldn’t be the same without Toshi. The second wildcard is one that’s far greater than any one member of the band’s accomplishments. The second wildcard takes the form of the song “Rose of Pain.” “Rose of Pain” is X Japan’s first attempt at writing a ballad with any “real” significance or meaning. The song is so majestic in scale, that I can’t help but deign it to be anything but an obvious precursor to X Japan’s masterpiece, Art of Life . Every band member pours their heart and soul into their performance on “Rose of Pain.” hide and Pata play with furious strength; Toshi belts anguished, yet meaningful lyrics (in Japanese); Taiji contributes his powerful bass-work; and Yoshiki performs admirably on both drums and with the highly refined organ introduction. “Rose of Pain” is an essential X Japan experience. I can’t recommend any song on Blue Blood , sans the beauteous “Unfinished,” higher than I can this one. Blue Blood is an amazing album. It is quite possibly X Japan’s finest moment (and that is saying quite a bit). I can’t sum it up more aptly than an esteemed colleague of mine once did in reference to another masterpiece: X japan blue blood full album download. X (later changed to X JAPAN in 1992 to avoid confusion with the American punk band X) is arguably one of the most influential bands in the history of the Japanese music scene. Formed by childhood friends Yoshiki and Toshi in 1982 at Chiba, Japan, X was originally founded to play high energy rock music. Besides being one of the first Japanese acts to achieve mainstream success while on an independent label, the group is widely credited for pioneering the movement. Their early music was speed metal, but later on they acquired a more symphonic metal sound. The band consisted of Toshi (vocals), Yoshiki(drums, piano, composer, lyricist), hide (guitar), Pata (guitar), and (bass), and Taiji (bassist) until 1997 when they disbanded. Once Yoshiki and Toshi recruited bassist Taiji and guitarists hide and Pata, the band began moving on the indie circuit. They garnished abundant support and fans across Japan with their outrageous dress style. They used long, dyed hair and leather, along with makeup to make themselves shocking to the people who went to see them. This look, and their musical style of fast, driving metal, mixed with softer ballads, was the defining origin of today�s visual kei band. However, in 1996, after the release of their fifth and final album, DAHLIA, Toshi announced that he was departing from the band, for his own reasons - rumored to do with his wife disliking the band, his time commitment, and their performance of mostly sad, downbeat songs. Rather than go on without Toshi, the following year X JAPAN announced it was breaking up. At the end of the year, they had their final concert. X Japan split up in 1997. Four months later, May 2, 1998, Hideto �hide� Matsumoto, X Japan�s lead guitarist, was found dead, hanged with a towel tied to a doorknob in his Tokyo Apartment. While authorities deem the guitarist�s death a suicide, several of hide�s friends and colleagues stated that they believed it an accident, this was supported by the fact that there was no suicide note. However, a new wind has begun to blow for X JAPAN, as Toshi has stated his desire for a reunion for the 25th anniversary of the band�s founding. In March 2007, Toshi announced on his website that he and Yoshiki had recently resumed working together, stating that a �new project� would commence soon. An X Japan reunion was officially confirmed on June 4, 2007, with Yoshiki announcing a tour, as well as a new single (a re-recording of the song �Without You�, originally from Yoshiki�s 2005 solo album Eternal Melody II) to be underway and that he was in talks with Heath and Pata, regarding their participation. About ten undisclosed guitarists were to fill in for the late hide during concerts. The band held its first live performance on October 22, 2007, on the rooftop of the shopping center Aqua City in Odaiba, Tokyo, during which a music video for the newly recorded song �I.V.� was filmed. �I.V.� also appears on the soundtrack of the movie Saw 4. During 2008 the band made more lives appearances and on May 2 and 3, 2009, the band held two live shows at the . Both shows were completely sold out. On May 30, the band did their first live show with in Taiwan. On January 9, 2010 the band made its first public U.S. appearance by shooting four new music videos in Hollywood. [61] The four videos were for Rusty Nail, Jade, Endless Rain and I.V� On July 1, the band appeared at Club Nokia in Los Angeles where they performed an acoustic version of I.V., and recorded a music video of a new song, Born to be Free. During the following month, X Japan and Yoshiki were featured in numerous newspapers and websites such as ABC News, the L.A. Times, and Chicago Sun-Times. On August 8th, 2010, X performed at Lollapalooza in Grant Park Chicago, Illinois. On August 16, the first ever North American tour was announced with dates scheduled for Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, Chicago, Vancouver, Toronto, and New York City.
