Sorry if this is a dumb question, but a rumour I heard a while ago which has stayed with me was that, at the request of Hide's mother, Taiji stood on stage with the other members of X Japan whilst Toshi and Yoshiki performed Forever Love.
Having watched the video of said performance many times, it's obvious that Taiji isn't stood on stage beside the rest of the band, but a man wearing sunglasses is stood next to Toshi on the stage with his head bowed and his back turned to the audience. Is this Taiji?
