J-rock legends X-JAPAN performed at the music and fashion show, “ASIA GIRLS EXPLOSION“, on March 6th in Yoyogi, Tokyo. As we reported earlier, X-JAPAN’s YOSHIKI organized the event with the producer of “Tokyo Girls Collection”.
American rockstar Marilyn Manson and model Tominaga Ai were featured on the runway, and it’s reported that actress Shenae Grimes (from the TV show, ‘90210‘) attended the event as well. During the fashion show, YOSHIKI provided the music with his piano as the models walked, combining live music and fashion on the same stage.
X-JAPAN performed several songs at the event, including “JADE“, their soon-to-be released North American single. They also played their new song, “Scarlet Love Song“, which was performed with the piano being the only accompaniment to TOSHI’s voice.
Meanwhile, YOSHIKI’s project group ‘Violet UK‘ also participated in the event, and performed numerous songs including “ROSA” and “Blue Butterfly“. This was the first time that the group had performed in Japan.
After the event, YOSHIKI told the press, “I wouldn’t have thought I’d do something like this 20 years ago.” He added that he wants to do similar shows in other parts of Asia.
