Amethyst by Violet UK
lyric/song: Yoshiki

The melody of this song was originally composed in the period when Yoshiki was in X Japan. In the beginning, It appeared without any lyric or the voice of a singer. It was used to be the background music in every concert of X Japan and the members of X Japan would be introduced during the performance of this melody.

After dissolving of X Japan, Yoshiki falled into a pessimistic mood and was unable to touch any information related to X Japan including their songs or films. Two years passed, and Yoshiki was encouraged by millions of his fans through their mails, activities of memory or other kinds of support. Yoshiki started to know that he was not alone. There were peoples around the world who shared the same pain and grief as what he had. Hence he went back to the stage of music again.

Recently, he was working on formation of a new band, Violet UK (UK is the abbreviation of "Underground Kingdom"). Although there isn't any album released by Violet UK now, it is believed that huge amount of songs have been recorded or under recording. Amethyst is rewrited to match this new band and released secretly inside the last classic album of Yoshiki, Eternal Melody II.

As the clip shown above, Amethyst comes along with the memory of X Japan. It composes of lots scenes from the live performance of X Japan and is the way which fans show their tributes to the most incredible band in the history.

lyric of this song

You are only a whisper away
But I can't touch your heart
If the words aren't enough to bet your soul
I'll give you the moon
You are always shining sun or rain
Like a violet stone
I Close my eyes but you never fade
But you never disappear

I feel alone
Can you see me standing on the verge of blue?
I'll be watching all the stars till they are gone
Should I know nothing could make me miss you less?

Oh, I've been waiting for you
To tell me what is love
I don't know how to be loved
How to be by your side

Morning light shines in my room
I'm holding dreams of you
It may take no less than this pain
But I can't stop loving you

Feel my heart
You have never known that you have all of me
Every time I see you I am falling in love
I can live or I can't live without you

Oh I've been waiting for you
To tell me what is love
I don't know how to be loved
How to be by your side

Morning light shines in my room
I'm holding dreams of you
It may take no less than my life
But I can't stop loving you
