Film documentaire annoncé imminent :

As X JAPAN lay down tracks in a Los Angeles studio for their as-yet-untitled album, Japan's most iconic rock band have announced that the world premiere of the new documentary film from Passion Pictures — "We Are X" — will take place this week at the Sundance Film Festival. "We Are X" explores the evolution, groundbreaking history and hopeful future of the land of the rising sun's most legendary rock group. X JAPAN have sold 30 million singles and albums combined and continue to tour the world performing sold-out shows to massive arenas in 16 countries throughout the U.S. and Europe.

On Friday, January 22 at 9 p.m., Yoshiki — songwriter, drummer, classically-trained pianist and the creative force of X JAPAN — will perform live with a string quartet for the first-ever Sundance Festival Base Camp party, presented by Canada Goose. Yoshiki will headline the Festival Base Camp, a new outdoor venue located at Swede Alley, behind Main Street. Other artists confirmed to perform include Dan Deacon, FLYING LOTUS and NEON INDIAN.

"It's overwhelming to see the full documentary 'We Are X', says Yoshiki. "Stephen Kijak and John Battsek opened doors, which I shut and never intended to re-open. I didn't realize that on the other side, dark memories could co-exist with a meaningful future. Audiences will be a witness to our history and future."

Saturday, January 23 will mark the world premiere of "We Are X" in the World Cinema Documentary Competition at Prospector Square Theater in Park City at 2:30 p.m. Yoshiki and the film team will be on hand for the red carpet at 2:00 p.m. and a question-and-answer session after the premiere.

"We Are X" was created by the production team behind the Academy Award-winning film "Searching For Sugarman": producer John Battsek (Passion Pictures) alongside renowned director Stephen Kijak ("Stones In Exile" and "Scott Walker: 30 Century Man").

From X JAPAN's massive success (over 30 million albums, singles and videos sold) and sold-out tours worldwide, "We Are X" chronicles the triumphs and tragedies of this legendary quintet who will never give up.

On Sunday, January 24, Yoshiki will perform live at the ASCAP Café at Sundance at 4:00 p.m.

X JAPAN initially split up in 1997 after playing their fifth New Year's Eve show at the 55,000-capacity Tokyo Dome;they have now sold out the Tokyo Dome a record 18 times. The group reformed in 2007 and have released three singles: "I.V." in 2008, "Jade" in 2011 and "Born To Be Free" in late 2015. They've been touring worldwide ever since — and in October 2014, the group performed their debut Madison Square Garden show in New York before announcing the new album and "We Are X" film releases slated for 2016.

X JAPAN is: Yoshiki (drums/piano/composer), Toshi (vocals), Pata (guitar), Heath (bass), Sugizo (violin/guitar) alongside their fallen brothers Hide (guitars, 1987-1997) and Taiji (1986-1992).

Yoshiki sort un documentaire dans lequel il collabore avec d'autres artistes, dont Scorpions ci-dessous.

List Media Entertainment and Magnolia Pictures Home Entertainment recently announced their partnership to distribute the evocative new music documentary, Yoshiki: Under The Sky on digital on demand in North America following the success of the global theatrical release of Yoshiki's directorial debut, which has been released in over 130 cinemas in Japan, Europe, and the United States to date. The documentary feature will stream on a major platform in early 2024.

Yoshiki: Under The Sky gathers an extraordinary collection of international artists for an emotional journey through the pain of losing loved ones and uniting globally through the healing power of music. Shot in Germany, Beijing, Tokyo, and LA, the film features interviews and performances from The Chainsmokers (USA), St. Vincent (USA), Scorpions (Germany), Sarah Brightman (UK), Nicole Scherzinger (USA), HYDE (Japan), SUGIZO (Japan), SixTONES (Japan), Jane Zhang (China), and Lindsey Stirling (USA), as it crosses international borders and celebrates an array of diverse voices coming together at a time of universal upheaval.

The film is produced by Emmy Award winner Sid Ganis (Iron Man, Akeelah and the Bee, The Making of Raiders of the Lost Ark), Emmy Award winner Mark Ritchie (Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, The Big Steppers Tour: Live from Paris), along with consulting producer Stephen Kijak (WE ARE X, Stones in Exile, Scott Walker: 30 Century Man) and directed by Yoshiki – composer, drummer, pianist, and leader of rock bands X Japan and The Last Rockstars. The project is the artist’s first feature film as director and was conceived during the pandemic when musicians could not connect with their fans.

In the video below, Yoshiki collaborates with Scorpions for a special performance of their classic, "Wind Of Change":

Yoshiki was recently profiled in TIME magazine and in September 2023 became the first Japanese artist in almost 100 years to be honored with a handprint and footprint ceremony at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood since the tradition began in 1927. Amongst Yoshiki’s long list of accolades in music, fashion, and film, he has composed a concerto for the Emperor of Japan; was the first Japanese man on the cover of Vogue Japan; was chosen to be the first living person to have a Hello Kitty doll named after him, called 'Yoshikitty', and has received international recognition for his continued philanthropic efforts.

In October 2023, Yoshiki headlined a sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City, after dazzling audiences and receiving standing ovations at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Tokyo Garden Theater, and Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. This marks the first time a Japanese artist has headlined all of these historic venues.

Yoshiki comments: "Magnolia Pictures has been a fantastic distribution partner, and I am thrilled that more people will now have the opportunity to experience this celebration of music featuring so many talented artists from across the globe. The message of this film is that, as humans, we are all here to support each other, not hate each other. I would like people to watch this film to realize why we’re here. We are supposed to spread our love."
