January 19, 2008, 16 years ago
The video for X-JAPAN's reunion single, 'IV', is available below (thanks Heavylaw.com). The song is featured on the Saw IV movie soundtrack (closing theme) and includes guitar tracks composed by late guitarist Hide, who committed suicide on May 2nd, 1998 (since deemed accidental), reuniting all five band members on the track. The video also pays tribute to Hide through the use of old concert footage and showcasing one of his guitars on stage.
The band is due to hold a press conference on January 20th revealing their plans for this year. Drummer/founder Yoshiki previously announced plans to perform in Tokyo, Japan in the spring. Rumours of the band recording a full length album and doing a European tour have been circulating, and word has it the band may perform at the Japan Expo in Paris this July.
We'll keep you posted.
