Extasy Summit Page
There were two Extasy Summits, 1991 and 1992 both
held at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo. (In 1992 Extasy Summit was a little bigger
and they did a concert in Osaka as well). X had gathered various visual-kei
bands to celebrate Rock'n Roll. Many of the bands remained infamous and
never made it beyond Indies level, and many of the bands don't exist anymore
today, however most remarkably X "discovered" Luna Sea that later became
one of the most popular visual rock bands as we all know. Another famous
band that participated in the Extasy Summit was however of course the Tokyo
Yankees.
The motto for the Extasy summits was: "Muteki" which
means something like unequaled.
The "Muteki" band is all Extasy Summit members performing
"Anarchy in the UK" by Sex Pistols
For both Extasy summits videos were released.
