Since Toshi was impossible to replace, the group announced that on December 31 of that year they would make their last concert as the group dissolved. The group continued to gain fame and success and become more and more famous, until in 1997 Toshi told Yoshiki that he was going to leave the group. In 1992 Taiji left the band and Heath entered, and that was when the group changed its name to X Japan since Heath informed them that in America there was already another rock group called X. But the success came in 1989 with his second album Blue Blood. In 1988 they released their first album Vanishing Vision with Extasy Records, the label that Yoshiki had created thanks to the money his mother had given him after selling a family business. Although at that time the name was only X and it was not until 1987 that the group was complete, with the incorporation of Hide as a lead guitar, Pata as a rhythm guitar and Taiji as a bassist. X-Japan was formed in 1982 in a city near Tokyo by Yoshiki, the drummer and Toshi, the vocalist. Talking about Japanese rock is talking about X-Japan, the most famous and legendary group in the country. But Japan also has good rock bands, some of which have become famous even internationally. When we talk about Japanese music, the image that usually comes to people’s heads are idol pop groups, especially female ones.
