X Japan is one of the most successful rock groups in Japanese history. Led by composer, drummer, and pianist YOSHIKI, the band has sold more than 30 million albums, singles, and videos combined, and played to millions of fans around the world.
In 1997, at the height of their success, the band broke up. In early 2007, YOSHIKI and vocalist Toshl reunited, and later that year X Japan officially reformed.
The band launched its reunion in 2008 with 3 nights at the Tokyo Dome. In 2010, X Japan performed for the first time at Lollapalooza in Chicago. Immediately following the festival, X Japan played the biggest concert in its history, selling out two consecutive shows at Japan’s Nissan Stadium, filling 140,000 seats. The band then launched their first North American tour, selling out across the U.S. and Canada.
X Japan has achieved legendary status among rock fans worldwide, making a buzz at Coachella, headlining major venues such as Wembley Arena and Madison Square Garden, and selling out Japan’s 55,000-seat Tokyo Dome a record 18 times. The critically-acclaimed documentary film about the band – We Are X – was released in 2018 in 30 countries, winning awards at the SXSW and Sundance Film Festivals.
The current line-up of X Japan is YOSHIKI (drums/piano/composer), TOSHI (vocals), PATA (guitar), HEATH (bass), SUGIZO (violin/guitar).
