Hailed as "fascinating" by the New York Times, WE ARE X is a transcendent and beautifully shot rock & roll story about the most successful rock band in Japanese history,  X JAPAN. They've sold over 30 million albums, singles and videos combined; sold out Japan's 55,000-seat Tokyo Dome a record 18 times; and played to tens of thousands of fans outside of Japan. Under the enigmatic direction of YOSHIKI--composer, classically-trained pianist, drummer and the creative force behind the group--X JAPAN has captivated a wide range of admirers as Sir George Martin, KISS, Stan Lee, and the Japanese Emperor-while pioneering a spectacle-driven style of rock music called "Visual Kei" (visual-kay), a one-of-a-kind cultural phenomenon.

In late 2016, 'WE ARE X' was released to theaters across America after winning multiple awards at the Sundance and SXSW Film Festivals. Directed by acclaimed documentarian Stephen Kijak (Stones in Exile, Scott Walker: 30 Century Man), and produced by the Oscar-winning production teambehind  Searching for Sugar Man, 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.

Up next, X JAPAN--YOSHIKI/drums, piano; TOSHI/vocals; PATA/guitar; HEATH/bass; and SUGIZO/guitar, violin--will perform their first major show of 2017 on #XDAY, Saturday, March 4 at SSE Arena, Wembley in London U.K, tickets (here).  Later in March, WE ARE X (film) will premiere in London and officially open in theaters across the U.K.The film continues to expand internationally in new cities every week; and will arrive on Blu-Ray™, DVD and Digital HD on April 25 from Magnolia Home Entertainment under the Magnet label.
