Orgasm, from The Last Live. X Turned a 2:47 song into a 20+ minute romp, complete with crowdsurfing with a fire extinguisher. Yoshiki is amazing like that. They played this on a projector at the jrock revolution festival, and I was in love.

Since Rock Band is going to have vocals, there's very little chance of any Japanese, or foreign for that matter, music being included. Language barriers will hamper those who let them, and a lot of people in this country happen to fall under that category (many of which will be the primary consumers of this video game title). Besides, any X Japan song on Rock Band would result in soooo many broken drum controller thingys...

Toshi's english isn't too bad, have them come in and Toshi can lay down some english tracks, plus the band is coming back together for a single and possibly a tour, so there's hope. That's one thing that I find really pathetic is people letting a language barrier stop them from enjoying excellent music; If you don't understand the lyrics, but love the way it sounds, then hell, go online and lookup the lyrics translated into english.

I could be wrong, but I think he sings The Art of Life in English. It is an awesome song, but I can't see many people who learned English as first language being able to sound like that.

They are excellent.

[Bloodlust]

Art of Life is completely english, but it'd have to be like an end all bonus.

Holy.. just checked that Art Of Life song.. awesomeness with sprinkles

Haha, all of X is good.

The band is coming back together for a single near the end of the year, 'Without You' is the song, you can find on Yoshiki's myspace(www.myspace.com/yoshiki), but I think it's a symphonic version only, no lyrics. There's a possibility of a tour, but that's still undecided. After the Ducks won the Cup, I wasn't in the greatest of moods, but reading the article that X is coming back together, even just for a single for Hide absolutely saved my day.

I WOULD DIE HAPPY IF THERE WAS A GAME WITH ANY X ON IT!!! PLEASE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! PUT ART OF LIFE ON THE GAME!!! Not only because I'm a rabid X fan, but because that song is incredible! Just the music itself is insane. There should be no language barrier when it comes to music, its just stupid.
