two of my fav's are
X - Japan
Who split when there leader "hide" commited suicide
and
Ozaki Yutaka
Ozaki Yutaka was and still is very popular among the young generation. His songs deal with the days of his youth, searching for freedom. When he was 14, he and his friends opposed their teachers and ran away from home. In 1988, he was arrested on drug charges. Even though he is dead, Ozaki Yutaka and his songs are still loved by many people.<-------an artical from somwhere
