Despite being one of the world's most successful rock stars, drummer and composer Yoshiki almost gave in to thoughts of suicide. After tragedy surrounding his band, X Japan, and his personal life, Yoshiki has used music to heal, recently completing a sold-out two-night stint at Carnegie Hall.

It's people like these who make me feel like I'm not alone. I lost both my father and brother to suicide.... Sometimes the only thing you can do is just continue living and hope to see them up there when your time is up.

first time or rarely, ever felt cry with sympathy towards this rockstar that i admired of. Especially, the hard times Yoshiki has goin thru. Thank you for keep on livin to bring the legacy ur brothers has brought us to listen to; to not feel alone. Also, i do prefer listening to to jrock than western rock more, not only its popularity but because it is different.

He is so handsome that he's pretty. He was at least 50 years old here. Now he's 56 and looks freaking phenomenal! I need to know his skin care routine!

I still like to think that Hide passing away was a tragic accident and not suicide.

@gregglobien669 3 жыл бұрын

I think it was also. I have read the the translated interviews with the X-Japan members and other people.

@andreamulder3184 2 жыл бұрын

He was talking about Taiji. The band also thinks Hide's death was an accident.

I’ve seen a lot of X JAPAN performances online and I never really thought about it when Yoshiki would do stuff like hurting himself on stage but now that I think about it it makes me really sad
