PiercingMetal Thoughts: Clearly Yoshiki is a busy, busy man as we’ve only recently noted how he will be appearing on select tour dates with Sarah Brightman (discussed HERE if you missed it). I’m interested in hearing the kind of music Yoshiki scores for these films and will admit that I am especially excited about the upcoming X Japan album. I hope they tour here again sometime soon because it was a spectacular show to be in attendance at. What do you fans of the man think of this news? Chime in down below.
