Jealousy is the follow-up album to
X Japan's major label debut,
Blue Blood. Although not as highly revered as Blue Blood, it was the album that finally catapulted them headlong into the
mainstream, making X Japan shows at the
Tokyo Dome sell out.
Jealousy was released in 1991, and was the last album to feature
Taiji on bass guitar. The record features more variance in songwriting than any in X's career, and due to Taiji's own songwriting direction, is the most 'American' of all their releases. This 'Americanized' X Japan did not sit well with
Yoshiki, however, and Taiji left the band a year later.
