YOSHIKI's 1993 studio album "Eternal Melody" was digitally released for the first time in a remastered version, roughly 33 years after its original release. Produced by legendary Beatles producer George Martin and featuring the 74-member London Philharmonic Orchestra, the album presents X JAPAN classics like "ENDLESS RAIN," "Kurenai," "Week End," and "Say Anything" in full classical arrangements, alongside then-unreleased tracks "Amethyst" and "Tears." Recorded at London's AIR Lyndhurst Hall Studios, with Martin himself arranging "Endless Rain" and "Tears," the album marked the first full realization of YOSHIKI's classical-rock fusion and laid the groundwork for the "YOSHIKI CLASSICAL" concerts later staged at prestigious venues worldwide.
The digital release also includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks, live recordings of "Anniversary" and "Forever Love" from YOSHIKI's 2017 Carnegie Hall performance.
The recipients of the Japan-America Society's Kentaro Kaneko Award, given to individuals who have contributed to Japan-U.S. relations through grassroots activities over many years, have been decided. From Japan, Akiko Kuno (former Vice President of the Japan-America Society) will receive the award, and from the United States, Kozo Kimura will receive it. A special award will also be presented to YOSHIKI, in recognition of his approximately 34 years of musical exchange between Japan and the United States and his global charitable activities. The award ceremony will be held on Monday, October 5th at 3:00 p.m. at the International House of Japan in Minato-ku, Tokyo.
