Dahlia is the fifth studio album by Japanese
heavy metal band
X Japan, released on November 4, 1996, by
Atlantic Records. It is the band's last album before breaking up the following year, and the last to feature new work by guitarist
hide, due to his death two years later. The album is composed largely of
ballads, with only a few tracks retaining the band's heavier musical traits seen on previous releases. It topped the
Oricon chart and stayed on the chart for only 15 weeks, but managed to sell over half a million copies. Seven, nearly all, of the album's songs were released as singles, most of which also topped the singles chart and sold well.
