}} "Jade" is a song by Japanese heavy metal band X Japan, released on June 28, 2011 in Europe, North and South America, and on July 13 in Japan and Southeast Asia. It is the band's third single since reuniting in 2007 and the second to feature newest member Sugizo on guitar, as well as their first worldwide release. ==Overview== With "Jade" Yoshiki wanted to create a song that would show how X Japan is "evolving," but that still retained "the beautiful melodies and aggressiveness." He stated he felt a lot of pressure when writing it, as the band knew they wanted to expand outside Japan into the Western market. The lyrics are entirely in English with the exception of a single line. With the song he wanted to express the pain that he, as well as X Japan, has experienced; saying "you should just accept it and be positive about it." A music video was recorded in January 2010 and featured on the ''X Japan Showcase in L.A. Premium Prototype'' DVD that September. It was filmed as the band performed on top of the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, California, and has the sound of the audience added to the audio. Originally set for March 15, 2011, the band decided to postpone the release of "Jade" due to the March 11 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. "Jade" reached number one on iTunes Spain, Sweden and Japan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = JRock Revolution )〕 It reached number 19 on ''Billboard''s Japan Hot 100. 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「Jade (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
