Where in The World is Yoshiki?

Do you think Yoshiki is “business-sleeping”? That all of this is fake to make people feel bad for, and sympathize with the hardworking Yoshi-sama?

I dont feel that psychoanalysing the sleepshiki post as some kind of 4d propaganda chess is a good use of my time

Please drop everything you’re doing. A new video has dropped on YOSHIKI’s official channel. Fascinating!!!

This video is so anxiety-inducing. All of the weird noises in the background, Yoshiki and the person behind the camera intermittently chuckling, insisting he’s not hungry before eating…I feel like David Lynch filmed this.

Yoshiki doing ASMR now? :smirk:

Funny you would say that. I wonder how many people know Yoshiki actually hired David Lynch some 30 years ago for yet another completely inconsequential vanity project.

I digress, but here’s more on the David Lynch clip, from his book (I think the year is wrong and should be 95). I am including it because it is such a timeless summary of everything Yoshiki does:

“During the summer of 1993 I was in Madison and a musician named Yoshiki, who’s in a band called X Japan, asked me to make a music video for him. I said, “Okay, let me hear some music and I’ll see if I get any ideas.” So they sent one piece of music over that was basically just talking with some kind of music in the background, like a poem. I said, “I don’t have any ideas,” and turned it down, and they called back in a giant panic and said, “We’ve already announced it!” They offered me more money, so I did this thing for a song called “Longing” that wound up being really fun. I wanted smoke, fire, rain, and different-colored lights, and we went out to the dry lakebeds with rain machines and these thirty-five-foot columns of fire.
We were out there in the dry lakebeds with these lawnmower smokers that put out tremendous billowing clouds of white smoke, but it was windy and all the smoke was blowing out into the desert. So we decided to work on something else, a rain thing or something, and all of a sudden—it was one of the most incredible things—all the smoke that had blown away came rolling back in like a wall. Some of the frames are so fuckin’ beautiful you can’t believe it. There were a lot of cool things in that video, but it all sort of fell apart and I don’t know if Yoshiki ever used it. He wanted the video to end with him sitting at a Victorian desk, writing with a feather quill in his hand and a bottle of ink on the desk, but I thought, That’s not going to go with this desert scene, so I didn’t shoot it. He hired me and wanted me to come up with an idea, but it’s still his video, so I gave him all the footage I shot and that was the end of it”

You would expect a guy like Lynch to really understand psychedelic violence crime of visual shock, but the fact that he didn’t is still incredibly on brand for him.

(Posting it here for you all because I had to see Yoshiki’s naked ass, so you can suffer/enjoy as well)

It’s like if Squaresoft created another late 90s JRPG with wistful Yoshiki as the final boss.
