It was recently revealed that X JAPAN drummer YOSHIKI will be transforming into a super-powered Titan in the new "ATTACK ON YOSHIKI" commercial campaign for Asahi's Wonda Coffee, which will begin on September 3rd.
Based on the hit anime series "Attack on Titan" ("Shingeki no Kyojin"), the 3D CG animated character was modeled after YOSHIKI, and he recorded the drum sounds for it live himself.

This is not YOSHIKI's first connection to "Attack on Titan". Fans may recall that he composed one of the series' theme songs, Red Swan, which debuted at number one on iTunes Rock Charts in 14 countries.
YOSHIKI has also created themes for other high-profile anime projects such as "X: X2 Double
X", "Buddha: The Great Departure" and "Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary". He also served as the inspiration for the "Blood Red Dragon" comic series by Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee.
He is currently composing music for "xXx 4", the next film in the Hollywood blockbuster franchise starring Vin Diesel, and other soon-to-be-announced TV and film projects.
