Yoshiki is on the front page top news on Yahoo Japan today!
It can be translated to “Completely devastated”.
Do you guys think he will use Heath’s death?

Today X Japan officially went on record to announce Heath’s passing and share their comments which is why this news is blowing up again. In accordance with Heath’s wishes, Yoshiki will be in charge of his memorial concert. I am by no means a Yoshiki stan and agree he is a controversial figure but the discourse around what this person should or shouldn’t be doing in the wake of such terrible news is gross.

Yoshiki’s post about this was actually very respectful and more than he owed anyone, frankly (besides HEATH of course) - which is a lot more than can be said about posts like this.

Here’s the post btw. Even as an apologist of his I’m surprised by how graceful this statement was for him.

For a few seconds i had the feeling… maybe he asked help to write. btw, it is a nice text and there is truth in the words.
I like to live in a world where I believe YOSHIKI has some genuine thoughts and feelings of his own. I invite others to do the same.

I would also like to point out that Yoshiki has asserted dominance over Gene by getting him to do the X photo op.

Do you guys think Yoshiki is a billionare (count in $)?
Multi-millionnaire, for sure. Billionnaire: very very unlikely.

Billionaire really not likely with all his side business stuff and all royalties from xjapan? I think they even get paid every time someone sings their songs at karaoke … Hmmm
Yoko Takahashi (the Singer of Cruel Angel’s Thesis) makes 100 million yen per year on karaoke royalities, that’s less than a million dolars per year
X Japan puts a bunch of their releases back up on Spotify?
Yoshiki announced another x japan world tour a few days ago and today I checked their Spotify page and a ton of their songs that weren’t on there before are back up?
Maybe this is Yoshiki trying to make the band more accessible to the non-Japanese public ahead of coming back around the world

So the X and IG posts YOSHIKI did the other day were about X JAPAN’s old releases available on digital platforms outside Japan and he called it a world tour?
