    "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.[2] 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.

    Background and release[edit]

    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."[3] 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 the band, has experienced, saying, "you should just accept it and be positive about it."[4]

    Originally set for March 15, 2011, the band decided to postpone the release of "Jade" due to the March 11 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[5][6] "Jade" reached number one on iTunes Spain, Sweden and Japan.[7] It reached number 19 on Billboard Japan'sJapan Hot 100.[8]

    "Jade" was the first single from X Japan's unreleased album.[9]

    As of April 2023, the track is now unavailable on iTunes in most parts of the world except Japan. [10] [11][12]

    Music video[edit]

    Amusic video was recorded in January 2010 and was featured on the X Japan Showcase in L.A. Premium Prototype DVD released that September. Directed by Dean Karr, it was filmed as the band performed on top of the Kodak TheatreinHollywood, California,[13] and has the sound of the audience added to the audio.
