Taiji Sawada (12.7.1966 - 17.7.2011) was mostly known as the bassist of X Japan. After Yoshiki told him to quit, his life took a downward run, as he says in his book. He tried to commit suicide but wasn't able to do it in the end. He was one of the best friends of hide and actually made him a song after he had died Dear friend. At hide's funeral Taiji met the other members of X for the first time after 1992. On July 11, 2011, Taiji was arrested for interference with a flight attendant due to an incident on a Delta Airlines flight en route from Japan to Saipan. On July 14, he was rushed to an intensive care unit at Saipan's Commonwealth Health Center after attempting suicide by hanging himself with a bed sheet in his detention cell, which left him brain dead and on life support. Taiji died on July 17 at 11 a.m., after his mother and fiancée made the decision to turn off his life support system. He played in bands like Ｄｅｍｅｎｔｉａ, Loudness, Kings, Dirty Trashroad, Otokaze.
