X Japan performed its first show in Japan in over three years on Sept. 30 at Yokohama Arena.
One of the biggest Japanese rock bands ever, X Japan are responsible for spearheading the visual-kei movement in the early 1990s. The band is known for its classical-infused speed metal and ballads, a combination mostly attributed to drummer, pianist and leader Yoshiki Hayashi¡¯s guiding sensibilities.
The three-hour show was day one of a two-day stint that served as a warmup for the band¡¯s show at New York City¡¯s Madison Square Garden on Saturday.
