X Japan's very last live concert on December 31, 1997 at Tokyo Dome. The show was important in two ways, since it marked the end of a band but it became the starting point for some outstanding solo careers.

X Japan Returns 1993.12.31 is an X Japan live DVD, released on February 29, 2008. It contains the band's performance at the Tokyo Dome on December 31, 1993.
A look back at the life and career of Japanese guitarist hide, who died under questionable circumstances in 1998.
Seth et Holth is a Japanese film released on September 29, 1993, best noted for starring musicians hide and Tusk. The film is based on an original short story by hide and features the tragic plot of two beings from a different plane of existence coming to earth, specifically Tokyo, and being overwhelmed by the city' sensory overload. The two communicate through swapping blood, and are persecuted and executed.
The live concert movie centers around the last day at Yokohama Arena during his first tour "HIDE OUR PSYCHOMMUNITY - Hide no Heya e Yokoso". Hide's ideas and stage gimmicks were constantly changing and developing even during concert tours. Another surprise about this video is that in 1993, Hide already foresaw that there was going to be a hardware that allows viewers to enjoy films in multi-angle mode, and because of that idea, the clip for "Doubt" was filmed in multi-angle mode. That film footage was shelved till now that finally DVD carries that feature.
As glam rock's most flamboyant survivors, X Japan ignited a musical revolution in Japan during the late '80s with their melodic metal. Twenty years after their tragic dissolution, X Japan’s leader, Yoshiki, battles with physical and spiritual demons alongside prejudices of the West to bring their music to the world.
The documentary sees actor Yumoto Yuma guide the viewers through hide’s last moments and the documentary features footage taken on the day before his death, the first time it’s been seen publicly. We also see Yumoto travel throughout Japan and Los Angeles as he pieces together the life and history of hide. “HURRY GO ROUND” also features appearances by Hiroshi Matsumoto (hide’s brother), the band Spread Beaver, and recording engineer Eric Westfall among others.
