X Japan: Tears [single, 1993]
“Tears” is a single released by X Japan on 10 November 1993. It was written and composed by Yoshiki Hayashi and would later appear on the band’s last album, Dahlia.
IMHO it is one of the greatest rock ballads ever written, and the second greatest rock ballad to ever come out of Asia after “Say Anything”.
X Japan seem to have a penchant for writing lengthy songs, the single for Tears clocks in at more than 10 minutes.
