YOSHIKI of X Japan at Anime Central 2010 - Part One

[Chicago - May 15, 2010] This can best be described as one of the best surprise events at any anime convention ever.

Yoshiki, leader of the mega rock band X Japan, delivered a special live internet video interview from Japan to ACen attendees during the Masquerade. The interview was presented on two huge projection screens before a packed house of eager fans. It showed Yoshiki sitting in front of a web cam speaking to the attendees of Anime Central's Masquerade, but some "technical difficulties" had made communication less than desirable. After a few moments, Yoshiki seems to give up on the interview and walk off camera. To this, the audience became upset and many were shouting for him to come back. The hosts were trying to calm everyone down. Then, there was a stirring from behind the curtains. And guess who steps out on stage...

I give kudos to everyone on staff who worked hard to pull off this surprise. Very well executed, indeed.

This may be ACen's best year yet!

Thanks good video ^^

btw, I heard from my fd that "YOSHIKI sang new song".

Is it true??

@rayRiSA0929 Sorry, no. Yoshiki did not do any musical performance at ACen. He basically showed his History of X Japan documentary video and then walked on stage for a Q&A session with the audience.
