Hiroshi Morie (森江 博 Morie Hiroshi, b. January 22, 1968 in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture), known as Heath, was the bassist of Japanese rock band X Japan. A former member of several bands in Japan in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including Paranoia, Media Youth, and Majestic Isabelle, Heath joined X Japan in 1992, replacing departed bassist Taiji. As the newest member of the band, Heath experienced a period of awkwardness with his new bandmates, as well as with the group's fans, who felt his musicianship was weaker than his predecessor's, and that his subdued style of dress did not fit in with X Japan's flamboyant sense of fashion. Heath's bass playing, less aggressive in style than Taiji's, first appears on the 1993 mini-album Art of Life. He also appears on 1996's Dahlia, which would be the group's last album.
Since 1994, he has released two solo albums, Heath and Gang Age Cubist, and several singles, and has appeared on the solo albums of former bandmates hide and Pata. Heath's music has also appeared in films such as the anime series Detective Conan. Then he joined in the band DopeHEADz with Pata.
In June 2003, Dope HEADz stopped all work and then, Heath found up R.A.T.S with Sinichiro Suzuki as vocal, but R.A.T.S. disbanded on 29th of August in 2004. On 12th of October, Heath and Issay(vo)Say-Ichirou (Gu)Matarou(Dr) first had live together. In June 1, 2005, the band named had been told to public as Lynx, on that day, Lynx had loft live at Shinjuku.
