Legendary Japanese rock band X Japan, founded in 1982 by Toshimitsu “Toshi” Deyama and Yoshiki Hayashi, launched its first ever North American Tour (Saturday, September 25, 2010) at The Wiltern Theatre.
As of 2010, the band has sold over thirty million records and over two million home videos. X Japan disbanded in 1997. The band did not perform or record for another 10 years. In 2007, the band re-united and performed live for the first time since their break-up. After performing concerts through-out Asia in 2007 through 2009, the band scheduled their first North American tour, set to begin September 25, 2010. They will also release their first studio album in more than 14 years in the autumn.
