Musician and X Japan member YOSHIKI received the Japanese government’s Medal of Honor with Dark Blue Ribbon award on Tuesday.
The Medal of Honor with Dark Blue Ribbon goes to individuals who donate more than 5 million yen (about US$46,000) to government institutions towards public well being.
YOSHIKI has actively donated to various organizations in the United States in 2020 through his YOSHIKI Foundation America non-profit organization.
X Japan’s most notable anime contributions were the songs in the X² music video collection and later X movie.
