X JAPAN『Scarlet Love Song 』リリース決定!!
「手塚治虫のブッダ-赤い砂漠よ!美しく- 」主題歌
5月28日(土)から全国で公開される話題のアニメーション映画「手塚治虫のブッダ-赤い砂漠よ!美しく-」の主題歌であるX JAPANのバラード曲『Scarlet Love Song』が、5月27日(金)より主要音楽配信サイトにて順次リリースされる事が決まった。
X JAPANとしては、再結成後初のシングル『I.V.』を2008年1月23日に全世界23カ国同時配信以来、実に3年4ヶ月ぶりのリリースとなり、また、1998年3月18日発売された『THE LAST SONG』以来、実に13年2ヶ月ぶりのバラード曲となる。
YOSHIKIは今回の主題歌制作にあたり、依頼を受けると同時に原作を読み、また、制作途中のアニメーションも見た上で、「この作品における音楽の重要性を確信、また、アニメーションがとても美しく実に興味深い作品だったこともあり、自然と力が入った。」とコメントしている。
27日(金)より配信される『Scarlet Love Song』は、映画のエンディングに流れている主題歌と同じバージョンであり、「BUDDHA Mix」としてリリースされる。

X JAPAN'S FIRST SINGLE, "JADE" TO BE RELEASED ON JUNE 28
(DATELINE) -- "JADE," the long-awaited new single from X Japan, one of the most influential rock bands in Japanese history, will be released in North America, Europe and Latin America on Tuesday, June 28 in all digital formats.
"JADE" is the first track from the band's English debut album, currently in the final stages of recording.
A "JADE" full-length ringtone will be made available exclusively in Japan on June 28, and the single will be released there and in Southeast Asia two weeks later on July 13.
"This is a years-long dream of X Japan's, to release a record in the Americas and in Europe," said Yoshiki, X Japan's leader/producer/songwriter/drummer/pianist.
"Music is very powerful, and we believe it can help us bridge the gap between east and west.
We hope that 'JADE' will be the first step."
Written and produced by Yoshiki and mixed by Andy Wallace, "JADE" was recorded in both Japan and at Yoshiki's Los Angeles studio, the same studio where Metallica recorded its classic Black album before Yoshiki bought it and turned it into a private facility.
The song features the thunderous drums and bass of Yoshiki and Heath, respectively, the searing twin guitar work of Pata and Sugizo, and Toshi's dynamic vocals.
With most lyrics sung in English, "JADE" is a hauntingly romantic tale of embracing the beautiful sadness of death, and showcases X Japan's eclectic mix of rock, goth, and classical music.
The release of "JADE" coincides with the X Japan's June 28 sold-out show at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire and the kick-off of their world tour that includes stops in Europe and South America.

Baltimore, MD (June 17, 2010) - Attendees of Otakon and J-Rock fans rejoice as YOSHIKI and SUGIZO, of the legendary visual kei rock band X JAPAN, will make a special appearance and perform a brief live performance at Otakon 2010's Masquerade-just one (1) week prior to the band's appearance at Lollapalooza in Chicago. Full details on the appearance will be posted to the convention website in coming weeks at www.otakon.com.

[JROCK REVOLUTION] X JAPAN: A Lollapalooza Main Stage Appearance and U.S. Record Debut Set for 2010
FIRST SONY, TOYOTA, CANON, NINTENDO/Wii, and SUSHI; NOW X JAPAN IS COMING TO AMERICA
A Lollapalooza Main Stage Appearance and U.S. Record Debut Set for 2010
LOS ANGELES, CA - (Thursday, June 17, 2010) -- X Japan, the biggest rock band in Japanese history, has been confirmed to play the Main Stage at this summer's hottest ticket, the Lollapalooza Festival. On Sunday, August 8, X Japan will make its U.S. concert debut as it shares the stage with other international superstars such as Lady Gaga, Green Day, Soundgarden, MGMT, and The Strokes.
Calling X Japan the most successful rock band in Japan is not a statement made lightly. X Japan has sold more than 30-million albums, singles and videos, headlined and sold out Japan's 55,000-seat Tokyo Dome 18 times - so far - and has started playing to tens of thousands of fans outside of Japan. Going back to the 1980s, the band's look and sound sparked a global interest in Japanese entertainment, especially with the Japanese cultural rock phenomenon, "Visual-Kei," a movement X Japan pioneered that went on to become a catalyst for today's worldwide Anime craze.
Yoshiki, the band's leader/songwriter/drummer and classically-trained pianist, has been referred to by his first name only throughout his professional career, and is arguably Asia's most influential musical artist and biggest rock icon. According to one industry insider, "Yoshiki is to Japan what Bono is to the UK."
"We are very honored to be asked to play Lollapalooza," said Yoshiki. "This is a wonderful opportunity for X Japan to bring our music to new fans, to play some of our brand new songs, and to play for our U.S. fans." At least one of the new songs, "Born to be Free," will make its worldwide debut during X Japan's Lollapalooza set.
The members of X Japan - Yoshiki, Toshi (vocals), Pata (guitarist), Heath (bass), and Sugizo (guitar) - have been spending time in Yoshiki's Los Angeles recording studio working on what will be the band's U.S. debut, and its first album sung in English. "We decided to record English lyrics for four or five of our most popular, previously released songs," Yoshiki explained, "and then write an additional four or five brand new songs, also sung in English. We have worked very hard on this album, and are very excited to present our music to the American rock fans."
Immediately following their August Lollapalooza set, X Japan will fly back to Tokyo where they will play their biggest concert ever - headlining two nights at the Nissan Stadium, performing to nearly 150,000 fans.

About THE YOSHIKI FOUNDATION AMERICA
The Yoshiki Foundation America is a California nonprofit, public benefit corporation founded in 2010 by Japanese musician Yoshiki of the multi-million-selling rock band, X JAPAN. A number of personal experiences brought Yoshiki to the launch of his foundation beginning with the loss of his own father when he was just a teenager. Like so many people around the world, he read news accounts and was deeply moved by the devastating effects of the 1995 earthquake in Kobe; in 2009, he paid an emotional visit to an orphanage in Sichuan, still reeling in its recovery, with so many children still displaced and orphaned. Additionally and as a tribute to Yoshiki's late X JAPAN band-mate, Hide, who embraced the support of children with bone marrow disease, The Yoshiki Foundation America provides funds to offer assistance through music to children with this debilitating illness. Music is what kept Yoshiki moving forward with life after his father's passing, and bringing music to children in need is at the heart of his Foundation. While he was thankful he was in a position to donate several pianos and other musical instruments to the schools affected by the Kobe and Sichuan earthquakes, as well as having the children in the local orphanages as his personal guests at local X JAPAN concerts, he wanted to do more, something permanent and enduring.
The Yoshiki Foundation provides funds in a variety of ways, from the purchase of musical instruments, to providing music lessons, to arranging for a child and his family to attend an opera or rock concert or other music-related event. Yoshiki has also partnered with several world-renowned doctors and researchers to explore the interaction between music and the human brain, and how music could be used as therapy.
About Grammy Foundation®
The GRAMMY Foundation was established in 1989 to cultivate the understanding, appreciation and advancement of the contribution of recorded music to American culture — from the artistic and technical legends of the past to the still unimagined musical breakthroughs of future generations of music professionals. The Foundation accomplishes this mission through programs and activities that engage the music industry and cultural community as well as the general public. The Foundation works in partnership year-round with its founder, The Recording Academy®, to bring national attention to important issues such as the value and impact of music and arts education and the urgency of preserving our rich cultural heritage. For more information, please visit www.grammyfoundation.com.
