	X Japan (person)@Everything2.com
		Taiji played bass until 1992, when he and Yoshiki began to have disputes over songwriting style.
		He was replaced by Heath, a quietly pretty but very talented bassist with a knack for industrial sounds.
		They were the first Japanese band to play the Tokyo Dome, the first band to ever sell a million copies of an album in a day, the first band to stretch the limits of what was accepted, both onstage and offstage (hide's omnisexual antics being the subject of much amusement).

		Taiji didn't like the direction in which X was going, and at the same time, he felt restricted.
		After Taiji left the band, X began to write their songs differently so that the bass no longer played as prominant of a role as it originally did.
		Taiji wasn't the only one to change, however; X itself was beginning to change, too.

		He was picked up by Sinawui, a metal group, as a bassist in 1989 when he was 17; around that time Taiji left a school for good.
		Taiji's second album 'Hayeoga', in which the rhythm of our traditional peace song was exquisitely grafted but still with stronger metallic color, also got great popularity.
		Taiji said "I think rap and metal are a lot in common and ultimately aims at the same thing".

		Taiji had waited for Pata to respond in any way for 4 days, but now he couldn’t bear the uncertainty any longer.
		The bassist was so (positively) shocked because of Pata’s sudden courage that he almost couldn’t move, so he just lay there and enjoyed, wondering where the inexperienced man had this skill from.
		The bassist reached over to his nightstand for lubricant and handed it to Pata, who applied it on his lover’s arousal with teasing motions, turning him on even more.

	X-Japan
		The bassist used to be Taiji who became one of the most revered bass players in Japan.
		There came a point where Taiji did not agree with the direction X was heading at all and this caused many problems.
		They had changed bassists from Taiji to Heath, their music style was starting to mature and their image was changing from a somewhat demonic motorbike punk image to a more romantic one.

	X-Japan Essay
		Taiji complained to Yoshiki that some of his songs that he had written with hide that were good weren’t accepted on the ‘Blue Blood’ album.
		Taiji later assumes in his autobiography that Yoshiki was simply to tired to argue with himor in my opinion didn’t want to waste his time doing so.
		Taiji formed his own band DTR in 1994 and of course that didn’t work out and they disbanded soon after they were formed.

		In 1989 when Taiji was only 17 years old, he was picked up as a bassist by a metal group called Sinawe.
		Taiji's second album 'Hayeoga', in which the rhythm of our traditional peace song was exquisitely grafted with stronger metallic color, also received great popularity.
		Not only did this album stir up controversy in its lyrics played forward, but Taiji Boys were accused of the masked Satanism in their songs when played backward, causing many disputes and issues that were never touched before.

		After their initial success, Taiji Boys refused to appear on TV from November the same year, unusual for a young aspiring group dependent on media attention, preferring privacy for creating their second album.
		Taiji said, "I think rap and metal have a lot in common and ultimately aims at the same things." Such attitudes are well reflected in 'the Classroom Idea.' One of songs included in his third album released in 1994.
		Enjoying both critical and commercial success, Taiji retired in the midst of his career, saying he wanted to end it while it was at its peak, adding that the pressing burden to create existed even for him.

		Yoshiki just tapped his long slender fingers along the side of the bottle of booze and snorted derisively, more than a little drunk.
		He had no tears to cry anymore, especially not after the speech he had given at the funeral only the day before.
		All the while Taiji had been sitting silently in deep thought.

		J got his start in the music industry as founder and bassist of Luna Sea, a J-rock band near X-Japan proportions that sky-rocketed to an almost equal level of fame before breaking up sometime in 1997 (except I personally liked Luna Sea a-lot more than I ever did X-Japan).
		Usually the guitars hog the spotlight while the bassist is over in the corner writing song lyrics the whole time or something.
		To the point, J is quite possibly the most involved as well as skilled bassist I've seen out of Japan since Taiji of X-Japan.

	Vodka Collins - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: Arrows frontman Alan Merrill was a young American pop star who had found success in Japan in the late '60s, when he realized he wanted to change his image before it was too late.
		Vodka Collins was a hard-working glam outfit that included bassist Take Yokouchi, and the trio started doing enough work to where they were getting noticed by the Japanese media.
		They scored a record deal and toured relentlessly through Japan, although they were oblivious to the fact that their management was robbing them of most of their money in the process.

	Favourite X Japan member
		Whether or not he's a good bassist (which he IS) it's not enough to make a mark with me. There are many amazing musicians out there so whether or not he'll be my favorite relies a bit on stage presence, a bit on look, and a bit on the music.
		Taiji was great and I think he did have stage presence, not as much as hide and YOSHIKI but at least more then pata and heath.
		Taiji was e one wearing e cowboy hats most of e time??

	X
		The name change more or less coincides with the departure of bassist Taiji and his replacement by Heath.
		X Japan is one of the Japanese 'visual bands,' in which makeup and costumes give the members a freakish, androgenous look, though they look normal now that they've become one of the most popular rock bands in Japan.
		This was the first album I got from X, after hearing good things about bassist Taiji, who was once taught by Akira Takasaki (Loudness).
