YOSHIKI donated 10 million yen to Chiba Prefecture through the U.S. non-profit public benefit corporation 501(c)(3) "YOSHIKI FOUNDATION AMERICA" to support those affected by the record-breaking heavy rains that struck Chiba Prefecture from August 13 to 14, 2026, now known as the "Reiwa 8 August Chiba Heavy Rains."
X JAPAN's classic ballad "Forever Love," composed by YOSHIKI, is the theme song for "X: The Movie," the 1996 CLAMP-based animated film now streaming for the first time ever, exclusively and for a limited time, on d Anime Store starting August 14th — marking the film's 30th anniversary. Since its 1996 release, "Forever Love" has become one of YOSHIKI's signature songs, performed worldwide for three decades.
The re-release arrives as YOSHIKI prepares for the 100th performance of his "EVENING/BREAKFAST with YOSHIKI" dinner show series at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo starting August 27th - all seven sold-out shows following a July Los Angeles concert where Josh Groban sang "Forever Love" in Japanese. With the milestone show just around the corner, YOSHIKI is planning a big announcement - all eyes are on what he'll do next.
“Even though I have lived in Los Angeles for many years, Japan will always be my home, and Europe—especially France—has also become another home to me,” YOSHIKI said. “Seeing people in France, Spain, and Japan facing such devastating disasters is heartbreaking. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the wildfires in France and Spain, including those who have lost their homes and the courageous people working on the front lines.
“My thoughts are also with everyone affected by the earthquake in Kumamoto and those waiting for news of loved ones. With aftershocks continuing, please put your safety first. Disasters do not recognize borders, and compassion should not either. I hope these donations provide immediate support, encourage others to help, and remind those affected that they are not alone.”
YOSHIKI's dinner show, "EVENING / BREAKFAST with YOSHIKI 2026 in TOKYO JAPAN" 100th ANNIVERSARY, to be held at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo in August, has sold out for all seven performances, including the additional shows. Applications poured in during the pre-sale period, and the five originally scheduled performances sold out before general release. In response to the overwhelming demand, two additional performances were added, and these also sold out quickly after general release.
For this landmark 100th performance, a never-before-seen center-stage format will be adopted, creating a special space where audiences can experience YOSHIKI's performance unfolding at the center of the venue from a closer distance. Special guests, surprise sessions, and other productions befitting the 100th anniversary are also planned.
Yoshiki, leader of the group X Japan considered "the Japanese Metallica", will be present at Japan Expo 2026 for the 25th anniversary of the festival.
The artist is distinguished by his exceptional versatility, navigating between stadium hard rock and imperial classical music.
Beyond music, Yoshiki has built a veritable empire including a haute couture line, a champagne and wine brand, establishing himself as "one of the most influential and respected figures in pop culture" in Asia.
MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS – the high fashion brand designed by YOSHIKI – fuses YOSHIKI's visions of fashion, design, and lifestyle with RTW glamorous and genderless designs.
The cutting-edge line debuted at Milano Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2024/2025. It is the latest move in the world of high fashion by the iconic musician, designer, and filmmaker.
YOSHIKI stated, "It's a feminine but also genderless collection, flamboyant with a rebellious touch, which has always been important to me. All the natural and eco-responsible materials are sourced from Italy and France."
YOSHIKIMONO started 10 years ago as a cutting-edge Japanese kimono fashion brand created by Japanese rock star and composer YOSHIKI, who was born the first son of kimono creators. Based on his strong desire to introduce Japanese kimono to the entire world, YOSHIKIMONO’s theme is the “fusion of tradition and innovation”.
YOSHIKIMONO’s latest collection was selected as the opening presentation of Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo 2020. YOSHIKIMONO was chosen to be displayed at the prestigious V&A Museum in London during Europe’s first major kimono exhibition alongside works from other prominent fashion designers Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and John Galliano.
