@YoshikiOfficial I know your pain. but in our hearts our they will live forever. big hug to you.❤️ #XJAPAN #HEATH

[Yoshiki @YoshikiOfficial]

I am still at a loss for words at this heartbreaking news. I am confused as to whether I should be writing this message as YOSHIKI or as the leader of X JAPAN.

I received the news about HEATH’s passing right after a performance and event in New York. I flew immediately to Tokyo to say farewell to him.

HEATH joined X JAPAN in 1992 through an introduction by HIDE. The announcement that he joined the band was made at Rockefeller Center in New York, our first concert together was at Tokyo Dome, and our first TV performance was NHK’s year-end Kohaku Utagassen. Despite having to jump in during such high-profile events and the pressure he must have felt, HEATH always gave it his all as a phenomenal bass player.

After our band reunited, we went on a world tour in the U.S, Europe, South America and Asia. When I suggested HEATH to play bass together with TAIJI in what became the latter’s final show, he happily accepted. He was such a wonderful bass player, a band member, and a wonderful human being.

HEATH and I got closer than ever over this past year. On my birthday last year, he appeared as a guest on my program, and we talked endlessly afterwards in my dressing room. There was also a time after that when we talked on the phone for hours until daybreak.

This summer, on August 20th, HEATH performed as a guest at my dinner show. How could I have known that that would be my last performance with him?

I couldn’t help make HEATH’s wishes come true, and for that I feel fully responsible. I apologized to him when I bid farewell.

Speaking as YOSHIKI personally, I am so mentally and physically drained, so drenched in sorrow, that I don’t know what to say right now. I feel that if I stop now, I won’t be able to go any further, so I’m immersing myself in my busy schedule.

But as the leader of the band, there are still some things that I must do. HEATH’s family conveyed his words to me: “Don’t be sad,” he said. “Cheer up, and say goodbye to me with a smile.” HEATH also requested that I, YOSHIKI, be in charge of his memorial concert.

I will discuss this further with his family to make sure that that is accomplished. There are also several things I need to fight for in order to make that happen.

My story with HEATH keeps going on and on. I wish I knew how to express the depth of my feelings here, but first I need to learn how to live with this profound loss. I will have more to say in the future.

Thank you for everything, HEATH. And may you rest in peace. I hope that someday we can play music together again.

【哀悼の意を込めて】HEATHは、孤高のベース職人でした

https://t.co/wj5rwbDkUB

X JAPANのHEATHが急逝したことが、女性セブンの取材で明らかとなった。死因はがんだったという。

2023年8月20日のYOSHIKIのディナーショー＜EVENING / BREAKFAST with YOSHIKI 2023 in TOKYO JAPAN 世界一豪華なDINNER SHOW＞にはスペシャルゲストとしてHEATHがベースを抱えて登場、入場BGMをかき消すようにディストーションをたっぷり効かせた爆音ベースプレイを聴かせてくれた。そのステージを華やかに飾ったのは、ほんの2ヶ月半前のこと。こんな日が来ることは、夢にも思えなかった。

1992年、TAIJIがX JAPANを脱退し、その後X JAPANに加入したHEATHだったが、メンバーとなったその瞬間から、最期の最期まで、彼は寡黙で謙虚なベース職人であり続けた。X JAPANのパンフレット・インタビューで何度も彼の取材をしたが、いつも彼は我を見せることもなく、X JAPANの屋台骨を支えることに徹することを信条とし続けた。ステージ上で響く彼のベース・プレイが、個人的なサウンドやプレイ・スタイルとかけ離れていても、X JAPANサウンドを支えることを一意とし、いちベーシストとしての個人の我は、すべて奥の奥にしまい続けていた。

そんな彼は、日々X JAPANの楽曲のベースを弾き続けていた。ライブの予定もない中においても練習を欠かさないHEATHが常にいた。何故か。彼は私にこう言ったのだ。

「当たり前です。X JAPANはいつどこで何が起こるかわからない。いつ何があっても100％のプレイができるようにコンディションを整えておくのが、僕のやり方です。それにYOSHIKIさんのプレイはいつどこで何が起こるかもわからない。それに追従できる自分でいるためです」と。

X JAPANになくてはならない命がまたひとつ消えてしまった。静かに哀悼の意を捧げたい。HEATH、あなたはX JAPANになくてはならない孤高のベース職人でした。

My mother passed away.
And I still can't figure this out in my head.. but the fact is, yesterday I attended my mother's cremation.
I couldn’t stop crying and I still am.
I don't think I was a good son, but I loved you mom...
