X Japan - Born To Be Free (HQ Full Song, Music Video Shooting)

[@弘田真奈美]

HEATHが演奏してるこの曲が収録されているアルバムを リリースしてほしいのと 追悼ライブをやってほしい ですね

[@itsawoozle]

love love love this song. can't wait for it to be released as an official single!

[@therealkorin]

It's amazing how their new stuff is an entirely diifferent genre than the old stuff AND it still FCKIN ROKS!!! I really hope they get well known in the States. They deserve it at the least.

[@zawnaingtun99]

We are X..............forever

[@Citrakite]

That was one awesome night.

[@ShaolinWolf]

wow, what a great song! Jade and I.V. took a while to grow on me, but this is the only one of the new X-Japan songs from the past couple years that I loved on the first listen. Also a great mix of louder, heavier rock that appeals more to an American audience and the more classical, ballad style X is great for. hopefully Yoshiki gives us more new songs like this.

[@齋藤千穂-d1l]

💥Heath🎸🚬💥格好いい💥🎸

[@p1981030]

we are.......X X Japan i love you forever...

[@richsoryu]

Yes the whole thing was synched. I was there, but it was awesome to see the band after 15 yeas!!! :) Yoshiki spoke with the crown for a while,and that was awesome!

[@marcelcs77]

Respect from Brazil, power song!

[@repsycle]

i really like this new song. amazing!!! sugizo rocks!

[@supattrakongkeaw1079]

Many like ..PATA & HEATH l never see him feel funny as today.

[@oplivecrime206]

yoshiki is a beast

[@wakyan8]

Thanks for sharing! ToshI is FREE!!!! lol Great song....WE ARE X!!!!

[@KatherinaBathory]

I still like this new X Japan, love the riffs, especially at minute 3 XD... but of course, like in every band, you cannot compare these new tunes to the good old classics...

[@AsxAlvaLuna]

Ya quiero que salga a la venta el nuevo album!!! We Are X!!!!!!

[@Mika-Hell]

many thanks for the upload and the link now i can show to my friends what X-Japan doing now

[@OfficialFilthyWarumono]

I was waiting backstage for this!! It was so cool!!!!!

[@sethytrashroad2561]

I MEAN IT IS SERIOUSLY FUCKING AMAZING. I WAS THERE. THIS SONG IS THE BEST YET

[@trainity14]

OMG! they're coming back !!

[@JB0007inu]

they are awesome live!

[@TIMMII98]

@NewXSucks True X fans, especially me, longing for their past, happy with their present and even looking forward to their -OUR- future. I love them and their songs without doubt and condition. and I'm so sure that I've been X fan way before you even know them.

[@Widmouno]

OMG AMAZING SONG.

[@comanderkuddles]

@rockmij that sucks i left LA the night before this, if i knew they were having a concert, i would have been there

[@Blue-Sea84]

Seriously, this is a great song, way better than I.V. and Jade, now I can't wait for the album! :-O

[@HECTORRGCH]

Exelente,

[@mohhkneekuhh]

@rockmij actually, they did "perform". when you shoot a music video to an pre-recorded track, the track plays in the backround while the band also plays the song (usually halfassed though) so it looks more believable that they video looks like it's straight from a concert :)

[@weekendend]

Thank you＾＾

[@StarryHeaven1]

love this song < 3

[@kyyk7]

これはやばい！！

[@SamyConsu88]

WONDERFULL SONG ! Very GREAT X Japan ! good video O__< Samy & Consu ( we are X !)

[@singyewbsb]

despite that it is a recording and most of it pre-recorded, i'm very very sure that during the piano solo, Toshi was singing live!!!! you can feel it!!

[@BlackCheeza]

スギゾーカッケー！！！！！！！

[@aliplaysgtr]

i wish i was there

[@soicandothattoo]

@leon0083 hey! that was AWESOME!!! :D howd you get the X Japan thing on the back?!

[@tobbaddol]

@seedofchaos I sort of agree. But I've listened to this song a few times now... And it's growing on me. :)

[@poor321456]

Good point.

[@sachikoishida]

Pata is a badass o-o!!!!!..and not nearly appreciated enough...

[@LINK50784]

wooooow waaaaaaw waaaaaaw's music grabs me x-japan x-japan become forever to remain united so that they get more cansiones are the best bad HIDE

[@2mariposa6]

この歌詞好きだわ

[@Mangasama]

@NewXSucks Hah, that's cute. XD You made a new account to specifically attack X-Japan. X fans listen to X and can make their own judgments on their new works. I am personally a fan of this song, considering I was there and had a helluva good time, and have been a fan of theirs since '98. I am glad their together and are making new tracks that get me rocking.

[@Durandal16]

The guy in front of you on the left in the white shirt with the dreads, standing next to the guy filming with a camera was me. ;)

[@unclenabe]

it's definitely syncing.... at 3.00 mark yoshiki is clearly hitting the ride cymbal on his right while you hear the hi hats being hit... Unless he has a secondary X-hat on his right ?

[@fobmysterio]

@wsoul1 uh, since when did i mention its a real concert? im just saying i would rather look at them in person when they are there instead of a lcd screen, learn2read.

[@acaftermath]

I heard theyre coming to toronto!

[@VarukerVaruker]

Things change, life goes on, you can either enjoy it, or be all butthurt that they don't sound the same as they did 20+ years ago.

[@777orochimaru]

its with suffer tath i say that i say that Taiji Sawada a musician from x-japan died i love x-japan and he will be forever in our hearths RIP Taiji Sawada qho inspired many people to listen the japanese songs

[@facespaz]

X!!!

[@Ruzik123]

I think yoshiki is trying somthing new, i mean look at soe bands that have been around for so long they tend to change beacuse im sure they themselves get bored of it. Its also the bands choice cuz im sure if they dident like it they would try to change it. Maybe yoshiki is composing more of the softer songs and maybe the old style later for the album. i love this band and even if its a change they still prove to be one of the best bands out there.. We Are X!

[@YumixNightmare]

I was there! :D

[@rousoku]

they don't sound too different though.. X is still as amazing as before.. how i wish they won't age too much haha.. ahh man i love X Japan!!

[@4everRock666]

but the riff at 2:55 is fuckin groovy and heavy as hell! and the solo is insane! X JAPAN PLEASE SING IN JAPANESE IN THE NEW ALBUM!

[@loveyoshikihk]

we are XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[@nzrock1]

@unclenabe It isn't uncommon for many famous or non-famous bands to use play backs and syncing for PV shoots. After all they have to do many shoots and takes, they were properly busy through out the whole night doing PVs >_> and has "mistressvader88" said, they did 7 takes for the public.

[@96loveless]

awww....mizzing Hide

[@chaozeRIE]

スギゾーうつしてくれー！

[@theindiefanclub]

@1shoryuken He's adding a lead guitar. Bands move on, and play new music. I mean, if they played the same thing, and didn't experiment with new things, then, people would complain instead about it being same-y. Remember that this is the first song X have written without hide - I.V. even had the guitar track that he recorded. Personally - I like the song. No, it isn't the X we all used to know and love, but it was never going to be the same.

[@hazehide]

@MikkyunSuperWX what's wrong with?! If it's a boring song, why were u watching it?

[@Coudx66]

TwT!! geniaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!! >w< waa q emocion ^w^

[@Mangasama]

@ilovecassius He's up on stage, you can see him on the drums.

[@xen05z]

Wow about a year ago when I was noob at guitar I came up with a similar guitar riff :(

[@lshari]

@DiiegoArizoca if it was a music video shooting then it's kinda logical it's playback, don't you think?!

[@RyaVids]

*sigh* i love them so much :D. Hahahaha...this is kind of a odd reference, but "Yoshiki's so good at playing the piano he doesn't even have to touch the keys" lol.

[@mwk2523]

small stage for X-JAPAN

[@jesus2099]

their magic's gone for long

[@VanillaPuddin911]

Sure they changed but big deal. They are still X! Hell if they continued with the.same old shit it would get boring. They still manage to slip in heavy riffs which is always nice. But do you really expect them to perform like they used to? They have aged quite a bit. I think they still have a good amount of energy for their age. We are X!

[@Mr420rush]

@ilovecassius times change and so do people get over it (:

[@theindiefanclub]

@kouki19920704 DEfinitely! They say it'll be out in the fall! X should do a world tour! I'd give up getting my GCSEs to see them!

[@鳩山由紀夫-r1l]

I like this version's drums better than version 2015

[@fencergirl06]

@oHellJungo I was there and he was definitely not lip syncing the whole thing.

[@Ichigi000]

Why do a playback??? Are they too old yet? It's sad. I hope they will get better next year!

[@Mangasama]

@mistressvader88 Don't exaggerate. =P They did 4, unless you wanna count the one time there was that track mess up. Their acoustic set was rather nice, I'll admit.. =D

[@restsama]

so funny, the recorded like 7 "Music Videos" in the past 5 yrs, and havent released a single one...

[@comanderkuddles]

lol yea it is definately syncing lol it is so obvious at 4:06 yoshiki left the piano and it kept playing

[@Dyingbreed1990]

@rockmij That's exactly what I thought when I saw them. That's very much something hide would do.

[@oxKanon]

@DiiegoArizoca They were just shooting the video. That is the reason.

[@zolef]

Noooo way!

[@theindiefanclub]

@ilovecassius He's still there. He's moving forward. If he just wrote the same songs over and over it'd get boring and stale. It's not like they're gonna stop playing those songs; they played Art of life and Kurenai in London the day before yesterday. Artists move on... I think the fans should to.

[@tenrikyotoronto1]

Toronto Canada here. I have been a fan since 1983. X Japan used to play in small clubs in Tokyo. Their attempt to sing the songs in English to meet the demands of the English speaking audience : has really sucked.Though there is no HIDE...and the lack of their costumes: their music has transformed X Japan into a totally different creature. More modern...however, something is lost in Translation.......could be the horrible English...X Japan in Japanese is totally awesome. Got tkts for oct7 YYZ

[@VarukerVaruker]

O__O FUUUUUCK YEAAAAAH !

[@Exoradus]

@rockmij Most likely, just the song name says it

[@hazehide]

@rockmij him? you mean hide ?

[@Dyingbreed1990]

@porcelaindollxx They're re-making PVs to generate more interest, get noticed. They're obviously trying to be more appealing to more western markets, hence their touring North America and whatnot. It's called marketing. They have to make money if they want to keep going. Have you ever tried to run a band and make it big? It's not easy work.

[@leon0083]

Hi, If anyone on here was there last night, I was the guy with iPad. Has anyone recorded the conversation Yoshiki and I had? I would really appreciate if you can send or upload it :) X!

[@TaijiSawada]

@ilovecassius Yoshiki is the one who compased that

[@RisingLoveless]

@TIMMII98 I agree people are just being stupid, X japan is still great and will always be great

[@sethytrashroad2561]

THIS IS AWESOME SHIT

[@user12222]

the scene is toosmall for them !!!

[@SADVCF]

4:16 playback????

[@porcelaindollxx]

@Dyingbreed1990 I can see what you mean, but it just seems strange. It isn't what X is meant to be.. it's like a westlife trying to do visual kei.

[@Thevampireofdarkness]

lol i can see myself on this video. I'm on the right side holding the camera up high and I'm wear one of those cap beanies with a with plus a star in it.

[@Ruzik123]

@Ruzik123 *so many

[@fengshenwee]

X japan fans that goes way back will notice the difference. No more guitar solos that we learn to love. Maybe because the one that compose them is no longer with us. This song is not great but still good if u ask me.

[@Suikoden4ever]

@SADVCF they shooting for MV...

[@whitewingedkrad]

2 people who hit dislike were called Justin B and Rebbeca B

[@mnyorinori]

Awkward riff, just doesn't sound like the good old X Japan... Aside from that, I'm glad Sugizo is onboard, coudn't think of a better replacement for hide for lead guitars. Still looking forward for X's next work! It's just awesome they got together again!

[@nabechu]

I was there, saw myself on the left lol

[@lynx666]

@HerrAmn but you must admit me that his skills are still at the same level :) Maybe he is BI then ...because a image like this all the time :P

[@xochihuatl22]

i understand you, but this song is not too bad and remeber that those great solos were an hide and yoshiki idea, we miss hide u\in fact

[@ShoChris]

ToshI looks very fun. lol
