Anime Expo replied to YOSHIKI’s tweet to say, “We look forward to your video greetings for the ‘We Are X’ screening and Masquerade.”
YOSHIKI was scheduled to appear at the convention for a 12:00 p.m. screening of the X Japan documentary We Are X and Q&A session on Sunday morning.
YOSHIKI, leader of rock band X Japan, announced on Twitter on Sunday that he will not be able to appear at Anime Expo in Los Angeles as planned because “X Japan rehearsal is taking longer due to my recovery.”
We Are X is also sponsoring the convention’s masquerade and World Cosplay Summit U.S. Preliminary.
