The award-winning X Japan documentary We Are X has achieved what is likely a first for any Japanese music artist — after its worldwide Blu-ray and Digital Home Video release last week (where it was chosen as iTunes “Editor’s Choice” and Amazon’s “Indie of the Week”), the film has broken into the Top 3 of the iTunes Documentary chart in its first week of sales.
The continued success of We Are X — having screened in over 20 film festivals and still playing in multiple countries worldwide since its Sundance Film Festival premiere over 1 year ago — is definitely a major achievement for a modern Japanese music artist, and should help pave the way for more mainstream J-Rock projects. (Could a Babymetal or ONE OK ROCK film be next?)
We Are X is currently available nationwide at iTunes (http://bit.ly/WeAreXiTunes) and Amazon (http://bit.ly/WeAreXDVD).
