Once known simply as X, X JAPAN is now known as one of the most revered Japanese acts to date. Credited as a key influence within the early visual kei movement, the band first took to power metal and its mandatory 80's hairstyle before segueing into a more progressive sound. Recovering from a decade-long disbandment, X JAPAN now entertains audiences new and old, with no plans of stopping again anytime soon.
