Taiji's work in X cannot be compared with others. Without Taiji , the X's song has changed it's style .And they renamed to X Japan. There is big difference between the songs with Taiji and Heath.

Yup, Yoshiki renaming the band X Japan has nothing to do with Taiji leaving the band. And on a side note, no matter how much I love Taiji as a musician (and I really do!), he sucked big time as a solo artist. Taiji & Dirty Trash Road is probably the most uninspired, generic, radio-friendly, cheap rock/country music I've ever listened to. Not much better than elevator music, honestly. I wouldn't believe it when some people told me that as far as songwriting is concerned, his leaving X Japan was not a big loss. That is, until I started to listen to his solo work. Huge disappointment, really. The real mastermind behind X Japan has always been Yoshiki. He's the one who wrote all the band's greatest songs. Sheer technical prowess in itself is insignificant without the ability to write good songs. It's like being the best and the fastest at deboning a chicken or at peeling and chopping onions perfectly, and yet being totally incapable of cooking a decent meal. Total waste of talent, IMHO.... Oh, and one last thing. X Japan's change in musical style is not related to Taiji's departure. It was mostly due to Yoshiki's health problems, namely cervical herniated disc. That's why he's had to wear a neck brace on stage for more than 20 years now. And that's why there are very few intense, fast-paced rock songs on the album Dahlia, and what we got instead was mostly ballads. Again, this is nothing new. Taiji had already complained many times before that the band had gotten too soft and was now appealing mostly to teenage girls because of songs such as Endless Rain, Unfinished or Say Anything. He wanted the band to go back to its roots and to a much heavier sound, just like when they were playing to a male audience in live houses. But Yoshiki was adamant. He kept telling Taiji "this is *MY* band and I'll do whatever *I* want. If you don't like it, just leave". The only other band member Yoshiki would listen to was hide, nobody else. He was the one who could persuade Yoshiki to do things he was reluctant to do. hide's untimely death is what really killed the band.

The reason we remember Taiji was a member of X not just because he was in the band. But also because he's skills that made people remember him.

X Japan has always redefined music, and Taiji was no small part of that.. If things went differently, where Taiji didn't leave the band and Heath didn't join, who's to say where it would be today.. Taiji had a record of being wild, drunk, out of control. That said, he was an amazing bassist and should not have passed on as he did. Blue Blood is my favorite X-Japan album, hands down, and his contribution is no small part.
Taiji is a beast X Japan are pioneers and one of the best if not the best band out of Japan. I wish BOH from Babymetal was on this list hes one of the best bassist out there right now.
