The Other East

Taiji Sawada wasn’t the first bassist for X Japan, but for the bulk of their recordings he either took part in the early stages, or is on the final recording. Taiji Sawada was on bass for the band’s albums Vanishing Vision, Blue Blood, Jealousy, and the single “Standing Sex”. He also was on early recordings of the mini-album “Art of Life”, before he left the band after a dispute with leader Yoshiki 18 and a half years ago.

Now, nearly two decades later, Taiji will possibly rejoin the band as a guest member during their upcoming shows in Yokohama. Taiji hinted that he had reconciled with the band last week, but for him to be performing on stage with them again is truly shocking.

I told you I wouldn’t post until after Otakon unless something happened. Well. This is something.
