On November 10th, X JAPAN's leader YOSHIKI visited 'Madame Tussauds Tokyo' to attend the unveiling ceremony for his life-sized, wax doppelganger.
The wax figure reportedly cost around 19 million yen (approximately 244,845 USD) to make. After seeing it face-to-face, YOSHIKI commented with a wry smile, "It looks scary, like a ghost."
He continued, "Though it's an honor, I have mixed feelings about this. �If there were two of me, we would fight each other, so it would be terrible for the people around me."� YOSHIKI didn't forget to encourage fans to check out the wax figure however, as he said, "Please do whatever you want, like�tickling it."
X JAPAN recently completed their Asia tour in Bangkok, Thailand on the 8th. �Though there was some doubt over whether the concert could be held at all due to the severe floods affecting the country, X JAPAN felt that it was crucial that they appear. YOSHIKI relayed, "I thought we should do it because it was a [difficult] time. I told the crowd,� 'Japan was hit by the earthquake too, let's hang on together'."
As for X JAPAN's plans next year, YOSHIKI said that he wanted to push out more to the world.
