As Hollywood readies itself for another historic moment, YOSHIKI stands on the precipice of a unique honor. The revered Chinese Theatre, synonymous with its iconic handprint and footprint ceremonies, has chosen YOSHIKI for this rare accolade, marking the first time a Japanese artist has been recognized in this manner.

A Historic First Open to the Public

Thousands grace the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but the Chinese Theatre has immortalized only 300. As YOSHIKI prepares to join names like Spielberg and Monroe, he’s not only making personal history but paving the way for future Japanese artists. In a gesture of inclusivity and celebration, the ceremony, scheduled for September 14, at 10:30 am USA PT, will be open to the public, allowing fans and enthusiasts to partake in this monumental event.

Star-Studded Ceremony

Elevating the event’s stature, rock legend Gene Simmons of KISS and renowned actor Lee Byung-hun, known for the sensational “Squid Game”, will be present as guest speakers. Their attendance underscores the significance of YOSHIKI’s contribution to global entertainment.

Universal Language of Music

From winning over audiences with “Red Swan,” the theme for “Attack on Titan”, to making music for series like “Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary” and hits like the “Hello Kitty Theme Song“, YOSHIKI’s musical influence is clear.

Bridging Cultures

More than just a musician, YOSHIKI bridges the beauty of Japanese art and the energy of Western entertainment. His forthcoming honor is not just a testament to his individual genius but a celebration of the fusion of two rich cultures. As anticipation mounts, the world watches, eager to witness this groundbreaking moment in Hollywood history.
