Yoshiki seeks global rock glory for X Japan

By YURI KAGEYAMA
The Associated Press
Tuesday, March 8, 2011; 10:41 PM

TOKYO -- Yoshiki has sold more than 30 million records. Concerts by his heavy metal band X Japan pack stadiums. Everywhere he goes, he is trailed by screaming fans. But that's just being big in Japan.

Yoshiki has his eyes on bigger horizons: fame in the global music industry.

It's not enough he has his share of followers in neighboring China, Taiwan and South Korea. What he wants is stardom in the U.S., the home of rock 'n' roll.

"I want to be a household name," Yoshiki told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "If you're going to do something, there is nothing but reaching the very top."

A Los Angeles resident for more than a decade, Yoshiki, 45, has carefully planned his international debut, studying not only the Western music scene but also the English language.

A new album of X Japan hits - tailor-made for American listeners, with lyrics translated into English and the tracks heavier on the bass - is set for release this year, complete with a U.S. tour.

Last year, X Japan made its American performance debut at the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago, alongside established artists including Lady Gaga and Green Day.

Still, Yoshiki, whose surname is Hayashi but goes by one name, knows he is aiming for a success that has long eluded Japanese pop artists.

The only exception has been Kyu Sakamoto, whose hit song "Sukiyaki" topped the 1963 Billboard charts. No one has come close since. Acts such as Puffy and Shonen Knife drew some attention, but mostly for their quirkiness.

Yoshiki believes X Japan's chances for international glory have never been so good, given the foreign interest in frilly "costume-play" fashions, "manga" comic books and animation - all key parts of so-called "cool Japan" cultural exports.

So, can X Japan join sushi, video games and Hello Kitty as a Japanese gift to the world? Are Americans ready for X Japan?

"I'm not sure," said Yoshiki, who is soft-spoken and polite offstage, hiding behind dark glasses, in contrast to his fierce, trancelike stage persona. "In the U.S., anything can happen. I think we have a chance."

X Japan was founded in 1982, when Yoshiki was still in high school. The band went on to pioneer an entire genre in Japan called "visual rock," characterized by doll-like makeup, flashy costuming and spiky, colorful hair. X Japan disbanded in 1997, but has periodic comeback concerts.

Yoshiki, who started studying piano when he was 5 and drumming at 10, writes the X Japan scores, which juxtapose pensive balladic moments with the frantically throbbing beat and energy of rock.

American musician Marilyn Manson compares Yoshiki with rock icons like Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop and David Bowie.

"They can make it wherever they want," Mason told the AP when asked of X Japan's chances for success outside Japan. "His music is very, very strong. It is important. It is very American."

Izumi Narita, an 18-year-old high school student from suburban Tokyo, is another believer.

"There is no other band like X Japan," she said. "It's fantastic how Yoshiki stoically pursues what he believes in, without ever compromising."

Less optimistic is pop music critic Steve McClure, the former Tokyo bureau chief for Billboard magazine, who doubts X Japan's appeal can extend beyond a niche audience.

"Good luck to Yoshiki. But don't hold your breath," he said.

To duplicate the kind of fame Yoshiki has achieved in Japan would be a challenge for anyone.

He has glossed the covers of dozens of magazines. He has his own line of jewelry, his own video game, his own wine. At a recent fashion show, he showed "Yoshikimono," a punk-inspired kimono. Former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi is among his fans.

When X Japan guitarist Hideto Matsumoto, 33, nicknamed Hide, was found dead in his apartment from an apparent suicide in 1998, the nation went into mourning. A teenager died in one of several copycat suicide attempts that followed.

Over the years, Yoshiki has expanded into producing bands for his label Extasy Records, and writing movie scores such as "Saw IV." In 1999, he wrote and performed a classical piano composition for Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko.

Yoshiki acknowledges that if he becomes famous in the West, he might miss the anonymity he now enjoys in the U.S. to go grocery shopping without getting mobbed by fans.

"I'll deal with it when I get there," he said.

Fame is important because music saved him, Yoshiki says. The root of his creative drive is a hidden rage inside, the anger and loneliness he felt growing up, not understanding why his father committed suicide when Yoshiki was 10, leaving him, his mother and his brother.

"I had nowhere to turn" except for music, Yoshiki said. "Then, I realized there was no need to suppress my feelings in music. Music is wonderful. I want to help others, too, and give back to music."

香港報導...
其實即係翻譯...

[文匯報] Yoshiki要揚名世界

 日本搖滾班霸X Japan相信為不少香港樂迷所認識,於1997年宣佈解散時,一眾Fans深感惋惜。猶幸在2007年時,X Japan宣布復出,消息令人振奮。近來他們更向外發展,進軍美國,勢要在這個全球最大的音樂市場佔一席位,團長Yoshiki更立下雄心壯志,決以音樂蜚聲國際。

 自結他手Hide辭世後,Yoshiki悲痛欲絕,更隱居於美國的洛杉磯,久久沒有進行公開活動和訪問。雖然與世隔絕,但期間他也學習了西方音樂的長處,而英文也大有進步。所以復出後,Yoshiki決定以美國為踏腳石,隨後進軍全球。

不敢斷言攻美必成功

 出道至今,Yoshiki的專輯已售出超過3000萬張,但他不甘於受困一隅之地,更有一個遠大的目標︰「我希望自己能夠成為一個全球都家喻戶曉的名字。」他又表示︰「當你下定決心去做某件事,除了到達頂點,就別無他途可以令人滿足。」去年X Japan亦有參加美國的「Lollapalooza音樂節」,與Lady Gaga等歌星同台;今年又會在美國推出新專輯,發展前景似是有大好之勢。惟Yoshiki不敢妄下斷言,因為國際對日本大都流於Cosplay、動漫文化等印象,攻美會否成功?Yoshiki坦言︰「我不知道,但美國是個任何事情都有可能發生的地方,我認為我們還是有機會的。」但不少人也看好X Japan,美國音樂家Marilyn Manson更以Mick Jagger、Iggy Pop等與Yoshiki比肩︰「他們在任何地方都會成功,因為他們的音樂非常澎湃,這一點很重要,亦與美國的音樂十分相似。」隱居美國多年,若又在當地闖出名堂,Yoshiki難得享受的平靜生活又會成為泡影。他卻道︰「當我到達那處(頂點)時,我自然會處理它。」

音樂中蘊含怒氣

 談到音樂,5歲學鋼琴、10歲學打鼓的Yoshiki,面上頓時流露出感激的神情,原來音樂曾拯救了陷入低潮的他︰「我的創作中是隱含著一股怒氣,因為10歲時父親自殺了,僅遺下了我們一家三口(母親、自己及弟弟),我對父親的行為毫不理解,我的成長經歷是充滿憤恨和孤獨。因此除了音樂外,我可謂求助無門。」他又指︰「因為在音樂中我並不需要壓抑自己的情感,音樂是美妙的,我亦希望透過音樂幫助別人。」 ■文︰Wyman
