Wikipedia article"'Scars'" is the sixteenth single by Japanese rock band X Japan, released on November 18, 1996. Summary"Scars" is the band's only single to be written by someone other than Yoshiki, as it was written by the band's lead guitarist hide. The song was originally titled "Scars on Melody", and its B-side is a remix version of "White Poem I" from 'Dahlia'. According to Alexey Eremenko of Allmusic, "Scars" was a glimpse into hide's future experiments in industrial rock.
