Art Of Life is a 1-track mini album featuring X Japan's notorious song Art Of Life.

The reason for the "Mini-album" title is open to 2 popular theories: (1) The track is nearly 30 min. long, making it longer the standard "single" length. (2) It was the bands 4th album, and in Japan the number 4 is considered unlucky (like the number 13 in USA).

The song features every aspect of X Japan's amazing musical talent, from the depths of the bands breathtaking ballads to their high-wire, drum thrashing rock. The lyrics are nothing short of spectacular; meaningful, poetic, unique...defiantly one of the best songs Yoshiki has written.

If you've never heard of X Japan or their music, here is a CD that will basically sum up every aspect of their music (if you can listen to the whole thing). If your already an X fan...than you already know that it's about!
