YOSHIKI TO COMPOSE GOLDEN GLOBES THEME
Yoshiki, the classically trained multi-instrumentalist and
leader of one of Japan’s most successful rock groups, X-Japan,
will compose the theme for this year’s Golden Globe Awards
show. The announcement was made by Hollywood Foreign Press
Association president Dr.Aida Takla-O’Reilly and dick clark
productions executive Barry Adelman.
The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards airs on Sunday, January 15,
2012, around the world and live coast-to-coast on NBC with the
pre-show from 4:00-5:00p.m. (PST)/7:00-8:00p.m. (EST), and
main telecast from 5:00-8:00 (PST)/8:00pm-11:00p.m., (EST),
hosted by Ricky Gervais from the Beverly Hilton Hotel. “
Yoshiki is a world-renowned musician and composer of enormous
talent and versatility, who in addition to being a rock
superstar has composed for film and television,” said Dr.
Takla-O’Reilly. “As an international organization dedicated
to creative achievements, the HFPA is delighted to have a
global musical artist of Yoshiki’s stature create the theme
for the show.”
Added Adelman, “We look forward to incorporating Yoshiki’s
music into the production of the 69th Annual Golden Globe
Awards.”
“The Golden Globe Awards are extremely prestigious, but the
show is also edgy,” said Yoshiki, who attended the awards
presentation for the first time last year. “I’m a classical
pianist and a rock drummer, so it was natural to create
something beautiful that also has an edge.”
Yoshiki, considered Asia’s most influential music artist and
biggest rock icon, is also a songwriter, drummer, and a
classically-trained pianist. His rock group X Japan has sold
30-million singles and albums combined and filled the
55,000-seat Toyko Dome a record 18 times. Now the band’s
popularity is spreading throughout the world, having recently
completed a sold-out World Tour, performing in North America,
Europe, Latin America, and South East Asia. In 1999, Yoshiki
composed a piano concerto and performed it with a 77-piece
orchestra to celebrate the tenth year of the Emperor of Japan’
s reign. In 2005, Yoshiki composed the theme song and conducted
the Super World Orchestra at the opening ceremony of the World
Expo. Previously, Yoshiki also recorded a classical album
co-produced and arranged by acclaimed Beatles producer Sir
George Martin and performed by the London Philharmonic
Orchestra.
Recently, the legendary Stan Lee created a Super Hero based on
him, and for the first time, a Hello Kitty product line is
named after a person – “Yoshikitty.”
In 2010, he launched his non-profit organization Yoshiki
Foundation America , which continues to donate to various
charitable organizations, including supporting Japanese
Earthquake victims. Follow Yoshiki on Twitter (www.
