X Japan’s most notable anime contributions were the songs in the X² music video collection and later X movie.
YOSHIKI is currently traveling on a European tour for screenings of the X Japan documentary We Are X, which began on October 12 in Berlin, Germany, and will take him to 10 cities.
He was previously diagnosed with cervical foraminal stenosis (narrowing of the cervical disc space) in 2009, and his symptoms reappeared last October.
YOSHIKI recently underwent surgery in Los Angeles, and is expected to make a 90% recovery by November.
