With " Jade " Yoshiki wanted to create a song that would show how X Japan is " evolving , " but that still retained " the beautiful melodies and aggressiveness . " He stated he felt a lot of pressure when writing it , as the band knew they wanted to expand outside Japan into the Western market . The lyrics are entirely in English with the exception of a single line . With the song he wanted to express the pain that he , as well as X Japan , has experienced ; saying " you should just accept it and be positive about it . " Originally set for March 15 , 2011 , the band decided to postpone the release of " Jade " due to the March 11 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami . " Jade " reached number one on iTunes Spain , Sweden and Japan . It reached number 19 on '' Billboard '' s Japan Hot 100
