Jade, the long-awaited new single from
X JAPAN, will be released in North America, Europe and Latin America on Tuesday June 28th in all digital formats. Originally, the song was supposed to come out in March, but was postponed due to the Tohoku earthquake.
Jade is the first track from the band's English debut album, which is currently in the final stages of recording.
A full-length ringtone of the song will be made available exclusively in Japan on June 28th, and the single will be released there and in South-east Asia two weeks later on July 13th.
With most lyrics sung in English,
Jade is described as a "hauntingly romantic tale of embracing the beautiful sadness of death, and showcases
X JAPAN's eclectic mix of rock, goth, and classical music."
A preview of the song can already be heard on
X JAPAN's official website.
