- Crowning Music of Awesome: The 29 minute long (33 minutes when performed live) Art of Life, which went from gentle ballad to heavy rock to twelve-minute long piano solo and back again. The song, which was years in the making, tells a very clear, powerful story of someone pulling themselves through a BSOD.
- It's Yoshiki's autobiographical story to that point. The BSOD was, according to the Art of Life DVD insert, his physical and mental collapse from "neurocirculatory asthenia" in the early 1990s.
- Epic Riff: "Kurenai," "Art of Life," "Blue Blood," "Silent Jealousy."
- Epic Rocking: Art of Life. See above.
- Epileptic Trees: Without You, I.V., and Jade are a trilogy/lament/memorial of hide.
- Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: "Week End" (an allegory for suicide and the "end of the world" as the "end of a life"), Rose Of Pain (Elizabeth Bathory), the 1994 anime Rusty Nail PV (cue jokes about Yoshiki's Messianic Complex that persist today, never mind he doesn't have one).
- Harsher in Hindsight was an Averted Trope in Week End's PV in regard to hide, but may have been played heartbreakingly straight in relation to Taiji.
- True Art Is Angsty: Both onstage and offstage.
