Art of Life is the fourth album by the Japanese band X Japan and was released on August 28, 1993. It consists of only one song of the same name, which is exactly 29 minutes long and was written and composed by Yoshiki Hayashi. The heavily orchestrated piece (recorded with the London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) is comprised of several passages of varying speed and instrumentation, including eight minutes performed solely on piano. The album debuted at #1 on the Oricon charts and was only performed twice for a live audience, on December 30 and 31, 1993 at the Tokyo Dome. The first performance was later released on the Art of Life Live album.
