I had read the manga a bit before, and I did NOT expect them to go this far to sell this scene. A sick send up to X Japan easily one of my favourite Japanese metal acts.

Place to post and discuss THRASH METAL!
RULES (MUST READ):
- Please keep things relevant to thrash (death thrash, blackened thrash, crossover, speed metal etc. are permitted). While we understand it is subjective, if a moderator believes a song to stray too far from thrash, it will likely be locked. Please do not take this personally. Repeat offenders may see posts removed.
- Please search before posting a song, do not repeat posts.
- Friendly debate is encouraged.
- When posting a song use the format of "Band - Song [FFO: band1, band2]". This just helps keep things uniform. The "FFO" (For Fans Of) section is optional. It is for lesser known bands. (Stole this idea from the Death Metal community).
- No racist, sexist, blah blah blah... you get the idea. This is not the place to discuss sensitive matters.
- No NSFW content (apart from songs/album covers. If they do include NSFW content, please mark the posts as such).
- Post in English only (obviously you can post songs in different languages).
- But most of all have fun XD.

Holy shit I had forgotten about X Japan lmao, I fuckin love the song Kurenai. Maybe I'll post that one sometime soon.. Thanks for reminding me! Cool to see actual metal in anime too, and not just like nu metal or some stupid shit like that.
They got the singer from Dragonforce to do the English version. Marty Friedman played the guitar for it.
Truly epic.
Edit: found A reddit comment by someone who dug up the credits for the Japanese version
