Does "composed" mean music and lyrics automatically? Not sure about that, I didn't think that it was expressed the wrong way.
I would like to see Voiceless Screaming played again. I don't care that Taiji composed and preformed it, IMO it would be just as good if it was preformed with Heath.
And I WOULD care if they'd perform Voiceless Screaming without Taiji. Same goes for Desperate Angel. As much as I love those songs and would like to hear them live - I wouldn't want to hear them without Taiji. Voiceless Screaming must be with him on guitar. (I'd be really peeved, hearing it without Taiji - seriously!!! :lol: Might be silly, but that's how I feel!)
I think that those songs aren't performed by X Japan, but were indeed played by Taiji with another project and that Taiji even did a remake of Voiceless Screaming with D.T.R (with different lyrics then) shows clearly, that there must be a reason that the songs aren't performed by X Japan. I'd assume that Taiji has the rights reserved or something, but don't quote me on that, because I can only guess.
As for older songs in general I gotta agree. I'd like to hear more Blue Blood and Vanishing Vision stuff, but that's just a matter of taste. Not every band can do it like KISS and go on performing the old songs (and in KISS' case the more successful songs
) again and again and nearly ignore the later works. I think it's kind of logical that X Japan rather play newer stuff. They simply developed a lot from the beginning on till now. I guess it could be kind of weird seeing them perform the older works like I'll Kill You and Easy Fight Rambling. :? Of course I'd be really fine with it still, but in my opinion it would seem less matching nowadays.

"Smile and be happy - it could have become worse!"
So I smiled and was happy... and it became worse
