X Japan Filming in Hollywood

The intersection of Hollywood and Highland has to be the busiest and brightest area in Los Angeles. Hollywood Boulevard, the street where the filming took place, is known for countless tourists flocking to the streets looking at remnants of classic Hollywood. They’re either taking pictures of the stars for famous people, going to attractions such as Ripley’s Believe it or Not and Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum, or even taking pictures with the strange people dressed up as famous characters.

This is the crazy place where X JAPAN filmed four of their new music videos. The four videos they ended up filming were I.V., Jade, Endless Rain, and Rusty Nail.

Behind-the-Scenes Peek of X Japan's Video Shoot for Jade

The videos for songs "Rusty Nail," "Endless Rain," "I.V." and "Jade" will be epic. We're talking "November Rain" epic. There are multiple shoots going on at once, with multiple crews, hailing both from the U.S. and Japan, working through the night, every night, for days.

Friday's shoot took place at Los Angeles Theatre, one of the downtown movie palaces that has been restored to a work of old L.A. grandeur. There are hidden rooms across the multiple levels of the building and it seemed like every one was in use. The dressing area was filled with extras transforming into the attendants of a gothic masquerade ball. In other rooms, one crew was filming documentary footage while another was posing vintage baby dolls like cupids amidst bouquets of black flowers.
