Hiroshi Morie, known by his stage name Heath, is best known for being the second bassist of
X Japan, replacing
Taiji in 1993, first playing in the "X Japan Returns" concerts (which, notably, were the first shows the band played as "X Japan" after the
Frivolous Lawsuit was decided). Created a
Broken Base, is a common source of
Flame War s, and became
The Scrappy... even though he's by no means a bad bassist. Was actually discovered by late guitarist
hide.Went solo after
X Japan disbanded for the first time in 1997, releasing a variety of solo works and working most notably in Dope Headz with
Pata. Seems to be
very close to
Toshi and will often work with him in the restart of his solo career.
Provides Examples Of- The Quiet One: Slightly averted in his 2007 and onward performances, with his being the most blatantly VK member (at least until 2010's Jade shoot), and with his 2009 contract drama, but he and Pata were and to some degree still are the most "quiet" members of X Japan.
- Rule of Drama: He had his own round of drama with a contract dispute that almost forced him out of X Japan in 2009.
- Sex, Drugs, & Rock and Roll: No one really knows. Heath has been the target of some drug rumors as a result of his very thin physique, but this is very arguable.
