X Japan

Blue Blood is the second studio album by the Japanese heavy metal band X Japan, then named X. It was released on April 21, 1989 by CBS/Sony as the band's major label debut. Blue Blood sold more than 700,000 copies, reached number 6 on the Oricon chart and stayed on the chart for more than 100 weeks. The album's singles would also reach the top five on the chart. In 2007, Rolling Stone Japan ranked Blue Blood number 15 on their list of the "100 Greatest Japanese Rock Albums of All Time". ~Wikipedia

Jealousy is more good old heavy metal from X-Japan, then named X. The band is credited with inventing the visual kei style, but you can't really hear that shake-and-stir mixture of U2 arena sound, goth rock, and mid-career Helloween here – regardless of the band's attire and haircuts, sonically it's a conventional '80s metal record (never mind that it originally came out in 1991). That said, it's a nice document of pre-grunge heavy music, sporting thin production, twin guitars, and glam rock aplomb, but having more to it than just being a Winger imitation.

The band was formed by childhood friends Yoshiki and Toshi in 1976. Lots of places on the internet to look up information on them. Just search for "X Japan" and "X-Japan" and "XJapan". Their music was an unusual blend of speed metal and ballads - hard rocking, guitar ripping, pounding beats blended with beautiful melodies - played by some of the best guitarists in Japan, one of the best drummers in the world (seriously) and sung by some guy with a voice sometimes like an angel, sometimes like a devil. All the songs are their own original compositions. They were also one of the pioneers of visual kei "Visual Shock" - well you can find out about that by looking up the band itself.

Vanishing Vision is the debut studio album by the Japanese heavy metal band X Japan, then named X. It was released on April 14, 1988 by Extasy Records, topped the Oricon indies chart and reached number 19 on the main one.

Art of Life 1993.12.31 Tokyo Dome is a live DVD released by X Japan on September 24, 2003. It claims to contain the band's "Art of Life" performance on December 31, 1993 at the Tokyo Dome as part of the two-day concert series X Japan Returns But this name is misleading as it really is an edited mix of both nights. Most of the video was filmed on December 31, but the piano solo part was filmed on December 30. This is the same version that appeared on Art of Life Live five years earlier. Some parts of Toshi's vocals were touched up by studio software to make up for the apparent faults at both live concerts. ~Wikipedia
