We Are X
The music never had to be explained.
Directed by Stephen Kijak
Produced by Prettybird, Passion Pictures
A passionate documentary about a legendary Japanese rock band's struggle to reunite and overcome personal demons while fighting for global recognition.
As glam rock's most flamboyant survivors, X Japan ignited a musical revolution in Japan during the late '80s with their melodic metal. Twenty years after their tragic dissolution, X Japan’s leader, Yoshiki, battles with physical and spiritual demons alongside prejudices of the West to bring their music to the world.
