[spaguettyL]

[escalantetwo]

[luvzmesomekaulitzes]

Oh my god, that interviewer is hilarious!! My facial muscles hurt from laughing so much! >.<

[Oporotty]

ゾウさん(ﾟωﾟ)

[SAS22ish]

YOSHIKIにもこういう時代があったんだねぇ～＾－＾＠

[Goldenboyfoxx]

i heard he tried to dress like KISS

[AhkRink]

He looks not much different now! I love him !

[rayva1]

Those platform shoes were short-lived when they attempted to bring it back in the early 90s.

[IAmTheRain1]

yoshiki ja nai daro..w

[Charonchan]

part 2:Where do you want to go?

Foreign country... well, I'd like to try to go to Africa or somewhere.

Africa? -can't hear-

Well, it's because I like animals, you see...

*announcer says stuff about this being the figure of heavy metal, and when you look at him, you can see the "tomorrow" of the genre*

Sorry, I couldn't understand some parts.

[Charonchan]

part 1: *knock* Can I knock with these? *knock*

You're the coolest person in heavy metal?

mm-hmm.

HE SAID 'MM-HMM!' OMG!

22000-yen apartment. He styles his hair with hairspray every morning. He's an indie drummer. I think they said he wants to break into the major scene...?

--can't hear--

Let's say, if you ever quit heavy metal, what would you want to do?

I'd work at a dry-goods store (gofukuya, I think they sell kimono and furoshiki and parasols) by my house (maybe owned by his family?).

[ConventionDiaries]

BIRTHDAY CAKE HAIR! MY favorite yoshiki style

[Opium1958]

I wish i knew what they were saying!? lol

[salcazoid]

요시키 완전 여자 같이 생겼네.....

그 때 당시, 그가 미국갔으면 여자로 착각할수도.....

[bilibalala]

THats not yoshiki thats Jun I think...

[scottfwtx]

@bilibalala Idiot Yoshiki is at the end of the video.

[bilibalala]

shut up faggot. you're truly a fag arent you.

[bilibalala]

Yo scottfwtx you fucking queer. gay ass faggot, stick to struggling trying to suck your own short ass dick instead of trying to insult people. Leave it to the real mens, a faggot like you is only good for licking my boots.

Platforms, bright colored-pants and HUGE hair...that's the eighties for ya.

[0HoneyVanity0]
