Japan's biggest rock band is coming to Vancouver. Who are they? It's an honest question to ask. Save for Japanese rock aficionados, X the country's North American exposure is scant. With more than 30 million albums and DVDs sold, and a record-setting 18 sold-out concerts at the 55,000-seat Tokyo Dome, the glam/prog/ metal outfit is legendary. Now it's playing small clubs. In 1997, the group split when Toshi and Yoshiki, who had been friends since elementary school, had a falling out. Solo projects, the death of lead guitarist Hide and a heralded reformation in 2007 saw X Japan relocate to L.A. to mount its first serious push into North America. (theprovince.com)
