I.V. (X Japan song)

"I.V." is a song by Japanese heavy metal band X Japan, released on January 23, 2008 as a digital download. It is the group's first new material since "The Last Song," released in 1998. "I.V." is the main theme for the American film Saw IV, which was released on October 26, 2007.

Overview

An X Japan reunion was announced in mid-2007, with Yoshiki, Toshi, Heath and Pata all participating. In July, Yoshiki was approached about composing the main theme for Lionsgate's Saw IV (he also composed Lionsgate's Catacombs main theme), Yoshiki chose to perform the song with X Japan.

In October Lionsgate released the production notes for the movie, and according to them, X Japan would perform the main theme. This was confirmed on the 18th with an official announcement. "I.V." (written by Yoshiki) would feature Toshi, Heath, Pata and Yoshiki, along with unreleased guitar tracks by former guitarist hide, who died in 1998. According to Yoshiki, the version released is a shortened version of his original work, which was too long to fit the movie.
