▶ 很多人說，不認識X Japan根本不算認識日本搖滾音樂。日本傳奇樂隊X Japan開創Visual Kei（視覺系）樂風，融合古典樂和重金屬，以魂斷式演出和妖魔妝服把搖滾進化至表演藝術，不單衝擊日本保守社會風氣，叱吒整個亞洲，更影響東西方樂壇至今。

1982年成團以來，從地下異端者反攻主流，站上巔峰後更雄心壯志進軍美國，但卻鎩羽而歸，從此走入一段漫長的黑暗期：97年因主音Toshi遭邪教洗腦而沉痛解散、數個月後結他手Hide離奇死亡；10年後復活，得到Luna Sea的著名結他手Sugizo加入，卻再有前成員Taiji自殺，X Japan經歷著超越任何偉大樂隊所能承受的打擊。

《X JAPAN的死與生》以樂隊重組演唱會、誓命實現當年進軍國際的夢想為引子，探索Yoshiki與Toshi兩位樂隊主腦不為人知的內心世界。由《尋找隱世巨星》（Searching For Sugar Man）金像獎監製及班底攝製，華麗至極的《X JAPAN的死與生》淒美得如樂隊的音樂，既黑暗又美不勝收。

Under the enigmatic direction of drummer, pianist, composer, and producer Yoshiki, X Japan has sold over 30 million singles and albums combined - captivating such a wide range of admirers as Sir George Martin, KISS, Stan Lee, and even the Japanese Emperor - and pioneered a spectacle-driven style of visual rock, creating a one-of-a-kind cultural phenomenon.

Chronicling the band’s exhilarating, tumultuous and unimaginable history over the past three decades - persevering through personal, physical and spiritual heartache - the film culminates with preparations for their breathtaking reunion concert at New York’s legendary Madison Square Garden. From the production team behind the Oscar winning film ‘Searching for Sugar Man comes’, ‘We Are X’, is an astonishingly intimate portrait of a deeply haunted—but truly unstoppable—virtuoso and the music that has enthralled legions of the world’s most devoted fans.
