Nikki B. 3,177 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) Yoshiki chosen for the cover of Vogue Japan's Rock Star issue YOSHIKI, leader of X JAPAN, has graced the October 2017 cover of Vogue Japan, which goes on sale August 28th. He is the first Japanese male ever selected for the cover in the magazine's 18-year history. Vogue is the world's most influential female fashion magazine, published in 22 countries and regions around the world, and YOSHIKI was chosen for the cover of Vogue Japan's "Rock Star"-themed October issue. The photo session, held in New York City in early June, was the world-famous pianist, drummer, and composer's first appearance after his emergency surgery on May 16th to replace a cervical vertebral disc. Yoshiki recalls that the photo session "was very stimulating," and he was able to attend only after getting permission from his doctor to fly from L.A. just three weeks after surgery. YOSHIKI's cover shoot was directed by fashion photography duo Luigi & Iango. Made up of Italian Luigi Murenu and Swiss Iango Henzi, the pair are among the world's top creators, having produced numerous magazine covers, including Vanity Fair and i-D, and famous campaign visuals for the likes of Dior, Tom Ford Beauty, Versace Jeans, Cartier. Joining YOSHIKI on the cover is Argentine super model Mica Arganaraz. She got her big break when she was nominated as the solo model for the Prada campaign in 2014 and has walked the runway at many high-fashion shows for names like Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, and Stella McCartney. YOSHIKI is in the worldwide spotlight now, following successful live shows this year at New York's Carnegie Hall (classical solo piano concert) and London's Wembley Arena (X Japan). Even while battling post-operative rehabilitation, he has achieved the distinction of becoming the first Japanese male to be the "face" of Vogue Japan. In this issue, YOSHIKI reveals the spirit of rock, and everyone is waiting to see what challenge is next for the music icon. The award-winning X JAPAN documentary film WE ARE X is gathering acclaim from fans and critics alike in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, with even more theatrical premieres to be announced in various countries around the world. YOSHIKI is currently in the studio completing X JAPAN's first album in over 21 years.

milkshake364 48 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Can't wait to hear this! I have slowly being checking out more of X Japan. Which album should I try first? (I realise there aren't many!). I only own 3 of their songs from itunes which are Born To Be Free, Kurenai (my favourite!) and Jade. I'm not usually into metal but have enjoyed what I have heard so far. Edited July 17, 2018 by milkshake364 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milkshake364 48 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Excellent, I have Blue Blood on my "to buy" list! Am hoping to get it bought this year but there are so many JPop releases old and new I want to buy. (Too much music, not enough time or money haha) I think Amazon have some pre-owned copies of the CD so I could buy from there. I could buy from itunes but most of the time I prefer to have a physical copy. It's a shame it's not still in print (at least it doesn't appear to be from YesAsia). I thought an album as classic as that would be kept in print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki B. 3,177 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) YOSHIKI announces completion of X JAPAN's new album On September 13, YOSHIKI attended a press conference at The Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan (FCC) in Yurakucho. YOSHIKI held the press conference in English. He said that he was originally supposed to return to Japan the previous day, but arrived at 5:00 am on that day because he wanted to sleep on the plane. Due to filming, he stayed up two nights in a row and was sleep deprived. He arrived at the airport at the same time as Osaka Naomi, who became the first Japanese tennis player to win the Grand Slam singles tournament at the US Open. As such, the numerous reporters that gathered at the airport witnessed YOSHIKI in his pajamas. YOSHIKI talked about his thoughts on X JAPAN's upcoming one-man live on September 28 to 30 at Makuhari Messe. Then he announced that he will hold a classical concert on November 12 and 15 at Tokyo International Forum. He also shared that X JAPAN has finally completed recording their new album after 10 years.
