X JAPAN: New Interview, Footage From Video Shoot Posted Online
October 25, 2007Founding member Yoshiki of the reactivated Japanese rockers X JAPAN was interviewed by a Japanese TV station on the set of the band's video for their new song "I.V." on Monday, October 22 at Aqua City, Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan. Watch the three-minute clip below. Check out photos from the shoot at Wire Image.
A preview of "I.V." is available on the Jrock Revolution web site.
"I.V." is scheduled to appear in the fourth movie of the record-breaking "Saw" horror franchise.
"Saw IV" comes from the same team that produced "Catacombs", which featured the song "Blue Butterfly", written and produced by X JAPAN founder Yoshiki.
Approached last July about producing the theme track for "Saw IV", Yoshiki chose to perform the song with X JAPAN.
Written and composed by Yoshiki, with lyrics completely in English due to the international target audience, the song features Toshi on vocals, Pata on guitar and Heath on bass. While attending Toshi's vocal recording sessions, Yoshiki took the lead in overseeing the English lyrics.
"I.V." reportedly features previously unreleased ideas written by X JAPAN's influential lead guitarist Hideto "Hide" Matsumoto, who committed suicide in May 1998.
