"Silent Jealousy" (SRDL 3317) is a single released by X Japan on September 11, 1991. The song's structure is comparable to "Kurenai", with a calm intro, performed on a single instrument, followed by a speed metal composition with symphonic elements, including a short excerpt of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake during the piano-driven bridge.
Live recordings of "Silent Jealousy" can be found on the "Say Anything" single and various releases featuring the band's Tokyo Dome performance on January 7, 1992, as part of the three-day concert series On the Verge of Destruction. Also included as a B-side is an alternate version of "Sadistic Desire", originally featured on the band's debut album Vanishing Vision.
A version of this song was recorded by the Australian band Lord and included as a bonus track on the Japanese version of their 2007 album Ascendence, with vocals performed by Hideaki Niwa.
