'''''Blue Blood''''' is an album released by [[X Japan]] on [[April 21]], [[1989]]. It contains re-recordings of tracks from the band's debut album ''[[Vanishing Vision]]'', "Kurenai" and "Unfinished" (both with alternate/expanded lyrics) and leans more towards [[symphonic rock]] than its predecessor ("Rose of Pain" includes portions from [[Johann Sebastian Bach|J.S. Bach's]] "Fugue in G Minor"). Several songs from the record remained mainstays in X Japan's live sets. [[Remaster]]ed editions of ''Blue Blood'' and the album ''[[Jealousy (album)|Jealousy]]'' were released on [[February 14]], [[2007]], each including a bonus CD with instrumental versions of X Japan songs.<ref>{{cite web | title=''Blue Blood Special Edition'' release information | work=cdjapan.co.jp | url=http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=KSCL-1092}}</ref>
