YOSHIKI -Life of a Japanese Rock Star-, a new documentary series about X JAPAN's YOSHIKI, is slated to premiere on YouTube Originals in March 2020.
YOSHIKI was chosen by YouTube Originals as part of a select group of internationally-renowned artists such as Paul McCartney, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, BTS, Robert Downey Jr. and Taylor Swift. The six-episode
series marks the first documentary program from a Japanese artist to be featured on YouTube Originals.
The series follows YOSHIKI’s many facets as a composer, rock drummer, classical pianist, and fashion designer and approaches the sometimes challenging behind-the-scenes reality of his life. YOSHIKI stated that he hopes to inspire viewers
as much as possible by discussing why he became a musician and why he continues to be active.
On November 13th, YOSHIKI appeared as the surprise guest at YouTube’s Brandcast Japan 2019, hosted by Google at Ryogoku Kokugikan, where it was announced that all six episodes of the documentary will be available for streaming on YouTube
Originals starting in March 2020.
