"Endless Rain" is the fourth single released by Japanese heavy metal band X Japan (then named X) on December 1, 1989. It is their second single on a major record label and reached number 3 on the Oricon chart. == Summary == The title track is taken from the group's breakthrough album ''Blue Blood'', and is their first ballad released as a single. The B-side is a live version of the song "X", recorded on June 10, 1989 at Hibiya Yagai Ongaku. Yoshiki said that after members of Sony saw him play a composition by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky on piano while X was waiting to play at a club, they asked him to write a ballad. The resulting song was "Endless Rain". ''Rolling Stone'' referred to the song as "November Rain, minus the bullshit" and called it X's first big chart hit.〔 "Endless Rain" was covered by Japanese singers Angela Aki, at one of her concerts, and Ayumi Nakamura, on her 2008 album "Voice", and by Chinese singer Aaron Kwok at one of his concerts. It was also used as the theme song for the movie ''Zipangu''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Endless Rain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
