Synopsis
We are X is a transcendent rock & roll story about X Japan, the world’s biggest and most successful band you’ve never heard of…yet. Under the enigmatic direction of drummer, pianist, composer, and producer Yoshiki, X Japan has sold over 30 million singles and albums combined—captivating such a wide range of admirers as Sir George Martin, KISS, Stan Lee, and even the Japanese Emperor—and pioneered a spectacle driven style of visual rock, creating a one of a kind cultural phenomenon. Chronicling the band’s exhilarating, tumultuous and unimaginable history over the past three decades—persevering through personal, physical and spiritual heartache—the film culminates with preparations for their reunion concert at New York’s legendary Madison Square Garden.
