Neon Butterfly (2026 Remastered)

Over 30 years ago, during my teenage years, I encountered X JAPAN. Their music shook my soul and sustained my life ever since.

Now, producer Dr. YOICHI brings those decades of profound passion to life through the AI driven music project, IMAGINARY X.

As the project's grand opening, Fantastic 9 releases their debut single, Neon Butterfly, a song dedicated to the elemental memory of HIDE. It intertwines the raw shock felt in youth with the serene acceptance achieved only now, 30 years later.

Fantastic 9 is a magnificent 9 piece band featuring vocals, twin guitars, bass, drums, piano, violin, contrabass, and and backing vocals.

This track flawlessly fuses soaring high range vocals, twin guitarists, in perfect dynamic sync, the heavy low end roar of an electric base paired with a contrabass, energetic and powerful drums, delicate piano, briliant violin, and a warm, embracing chorus.

Witness the birth of a new century of metal where beauty and aggression intersect across time.
