YOSHIKI to make his photographer debut for X-JAPAN’s new song!

X-JAPAN leader YOSHIKI will make his official debut as a photographer for the rock band’s upcoming digital single, “JADE“!
The jacket cover for “JADE” was taken by YOSHIKI himself. Sources say that YOSHIKI had an interest in this from the very beginning, so a close friend allowed him to shoot the photo for the cover.
“Music possesses an unfathomable strength. By communicating through music, we believe that we can bridge the gap between the East and West,” said YOSHIKI about X-JAPAN’s newest song. “We hope ‘JADE’ can be that first step.” He also added, “Releasing a song in America and Europe has been a longtime dream of X-JAPAN’s!”
The song was originally scheduled for release on March 15th, but was postponed due to the Tohoku earthquake. “JADE” is currently slated for an online release through mu-mo beginning on June 28th; a subsequent worldwide release will follow through the iTunes Store on July 13th.
