X Japan Single "Jade" to be released June 28th

Since being performed for the first time back in May 2009, we'll finally get to hear the first track from the band's English debut album in it's finished studio version.

I'm talking about the song titled "Jade".

Written and produced by Yoshiki (the band's leader/producer/songwriter/drummer/pianist), "Jade" was recorded in Japan and at Yoshiki's own Los Angeles studio (the same studio where Metallica recorded its Black album). Also, according to his twitter post, the cover art was shot by Yoshiki himself.

"Jade" will be released as a single worldwide on June 28, 2011. Almost three years since X released their last single "I.V."

So for now, let's enjoy their first performance of this song.
