X JAPAN will release their new single “Jade” on June 28th in North America, Latin America and Europe in all digital formats. On the same date a full length ringtone will be available only in Japan and the single will be released there and in Southeast Asia on July 13th.

“This is a years-long dream of X JAPAN’s, to release a record in the Americas and in Europe,” said YOSHIKI, “Music is very powerful, and we believe it can help us bridge the gap between east and west. We hope that ‘Jade’ will be the first step.”

“Jade” is produced by Yoshiki and mixed by Andy Wallace and has been recorded both in Japan and in YOSHIKI’s studio in Los Angeles. The single is out on the same day with the band’s first show in Europe at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
