This song, the lyrics, it brings so much emotion and depth, this song will touch your heart for sure. The song is composed by Yoshiki. It is a rock ballad but don't be fooled by it's super soft opening at the beginning wait until Toshi opens his mouth, places the microphone to his lips and sings the first few lines 'doko ni yukebaii etc...' you might not know Japanese but carry on listening until you reach it's powerful chorus which is also sung in english parts of it at least, ' Dry Your Tears With Love x2 Loneliness Your Silent Whisper, Fills A River Of Tears etc...' Toshi sings this song in all its glory and does it for six minutes WOW.
Toshi's voice is extremely beautiful, he can sing two octaves higher than an average male singer which allows him to sing even female songs well too, he eases into the high-pitched parts of Tears with ease, compared to other male singers who hit high notes, that I find it extremely uncomfortable and hard to listen too.
BUT Toshi makes it more than okay, more than tolerable, that's one of the reasons why I like X Japan's music because Toshi's voice is special, it's not squealy or high-pitched or you get the point!
This song always brings me to tears, maybe because Yoshiki wrote about his father, maybe because their are fanvids displaying hide pictures/videos in it.
Anyways, other songs of X Japan, that should be recommended too 'Endless Rain' 'Jade' 'Born To Be Free' my favourite songs, the latter two if I remember correctly are English songs, so if your like me who has minimal Japanese language vocabulary or prefer songs with English words, plus Yoshiki has some awesome drumming skills in the opening of Jade. So please check it out and let me know.
WE ARE X~!!! :D
