Dahlia (song)
"Dahlia" is a single released by X Japan on February 26, 1996. It would later become the title track of the band's 1996 album and one of Yoshiki Hayashi's last compositions in his signature blend of speed metal and symphonic rock. The song's title, "Dahlia", appears in the lyrics as an acronym during a voice over, which says "destiny, alive, heaven, love, innocence, always, destroy, aftermath, hell, life, infinite". The B-side of the single is a live version of "Tears", recorded on December 30, 1993 at the Tokyo Dome. The same recording also appears on their live compilation album Live Live Live Tokyo Dome 1993-1996. The single peaked at #1 on the Oricon charts.[1]
