A key solo album from X Japan’s legendary frontman, Toshi, is the focus for this entry. We are looking at “Mission,” released on June 1, 1994. This CD was issued by BMG / Ariola with the catalog number BVCR-657. This particular copy comes in its special box set packaging, complete with the original obi strip.
Produced by Toshi himself, “Mission” finds the celebrated vocalist further exploring his own musical identity within the rock and J-pop world, a sound distinct from the heavy metal of his main band. The 11-track album delivers a collection of polished, melodic songs, showcasing a different facet of his talent.
The album features a core backing band of skilled musicians, including Yukihiro Fujimura (guitar), Toshimi Nagai (bass), and Kozo Suganuma (drums), with the band Night Hawks also performing on two tracks. It includes songs like “Rusty Eyes,” “Lady,” “Bless You,” “Always,” and the title track “Moonstone” (not “Mission”).
“Mission” (BVCR-657) stands as a significant solo statement from Toshi, presented in a deluxe box package for its initial release, complete with a 24-page booklet and a discography inlay.
