Multimillion selling Japanese rock star Yoshiki talks about his musical mission • FRANCE 24

[@hazukifukudaofficial]

I admire how Yoshiki shares his sad experiences in life so openly to help others.

[@nobodyxnobody]

I have loved XJAPAN for 28 years

[@KimieRascal]

Thank you for this brilliant interview. He does a lot of things successfully. He loves France and has a few connections like CHAMPAGNE POMMERY, Baccarat, MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS. I hope he will be known well in France.

[@JtrainMedia]

I agree. Endless Rain would be a great first song to introduce people to Yoshiki. I would also recommend people check out Silent Jealousy and Art of Life. I would also catch him live if you can. I've been a fan of X Japan for a while and it's so cool to see him do an interview with Eve / France 24. Was

/i agree, Endless Rain, but from the Last Live concert, it made me fall in love with X Japan, the original video for the song might be a little distracting (big hair) for the people that are not into 80s hair metal;), a little background: Toshi (vocal) and Yoshiki (piano/drums) are childhood friends and it's supposed to be their last concert before break up (they reunite years later but nobody knew it at the time), few month after the guitarist HIDE d*es so it's his last performance with the band which makes it even more emotional to watch.

[@tantokurniawan8510]

Yoshiki, one day I want to see you perform with Kimono produced by Yoshikimono. It will be a perfect show to watch...

[@efraincitomendoza5687]

It is the first time that hear yoshiki singing. What a wonderful voice!!!

[@rashidabaakza8554]

Yoshiki amazing artist. Nice short interview. 👌✌️

[@markonidun]

Wait, what? Yoshiki singing a song? W.o.w. just wow.

[@owrowsh]

It's on streaming platforms and it's great

[@kvaqzzz]

Don't you think it's a great performance?

[@markonidun]

I think he did great. I'm wondering how Scars would sound with his vocals.@@kvaqzzz

ฉันรักX-japan l will watch work for Yoshiki forever

[@Mixedpixie]

He’s so beautiful 😻 I wish I got into x Japan when I was younger

[@crunchcracker172]

'Endless Rain' is one of the best Ballad song in Japan.

[@belindabell2]

Love his music..

[@yiotatornadortheodoropoulo8706]

even if he did not sell one record he has more billion talent than most of your artsist with big money

[@triaxon3791]

Yoshiki is Gr8! Peace ☮💜

[@cindyvajnar4851]

Sir, you are so talented and amazing. God has richly blessed you and therefore your fans. Thank you.

[@jamesnewman4351]

Red Swan with my favorite rockstar HYDE on vocals , in my modest opinion would absolute killer song to introduce Yoshiki to people.

[@shinjiikari5143]

what's the music at 1:14?

[@ქეთიყიფშიძე-ჟ5ყ]

Its endless rain, from the last live 💛

[@yiotatornadortheodoropoulo8706]

Yoshiki should teach manners to people besides all his talent

[@reformedgarbage5415]

He sounds like Japanese Michael Jackson

[@teejaymundoc9541]

Hee-hee... Aow!

[@m.omoirokingyo]

they were friends

[@nishyamatake]

The reason XJAPAN was successful in Japan was because of the wonderful vocalist TOSHI and other members including HIDE. YOSHIKI has a monopoly on XJAPAN. The overseas media should do more research on YOSHIKI. He doesn't have a good reputation in Japan.

[@rocklol2335]

I agree, Toshi's voice reminds me of Goku turning into super saiyan;] and HIDE was like from another world with his skills and the image, but Yoshiki composed great songs for them to perform, I don't know about the drama around him

[@ქეთიყიფშიძე-ჟ5ყ]

What do you mean?

[@A1000-b9s]

Why he dosen't have a good reputation? He is basically the reason why X is a thing in the first place

[@owrowsh]

9:54 "If those guys were born in America" entered the room to zero acclaim

[@Atom_Line]

He’s also a Kabuki actor 👽

[@翰王-w1r]

Giving this liar such exposure is disgusting. You should have done more homework. The sales number he claimed he has is a lie. XJAPAN sold 11 million copies of singles and albums total not 30 million nor 50 million and he surely is not the most successful musician in Japan. He has a history of using the death of his band mates as a side note to his “dramatic sad talent” story. He broke up with the lead-singer of XJAPAN due to long-term metal harassment he performed on the singer and other financial issues. He IS THE SHAME of Japanese music industry.

[@翰王-w1r]

*mental harassment

[@lilusletat8871]

can you tell me more about this like wtf

[@belindabell2]

I used to live in Tokyo..worked on Tokyo Disneyland project and Tokyo Disney sea..I LOVE Japan..wish I could go back, but the flight is way too long..I miss Nakameguro, where I used to live.

[@belindabell2]

Guess he wears sun glasses so people can’t see how sad he looks.
