X JAPAN's co-founder and leader YOSHIKI�tweeted that he will announce big news on August 6th via his official Twitter account�(@YoshikiOfficial) during a special Q&A session, where he will answer questions from�fans using the hashtag #AskYoshiki.�

YOSHIKI successfully completed "Yoshiki Classical World Tour Part I" after 13 shows in�10 countries in June, which was followed by a performance in front of 4,000 European�fans at the 15th annual JAPAN EXPO in Paris. Yoshiki is scheduled to make an�appearance and perform at OTAKON on August 9th and 10th, an anime culture event�happening in Maryland, featuring guest performers PATA and HEATH from X JAPAN.

Tickets for X JAPAN's highly anticipated October 11th concert at Madison Square�

Garden are available for purchase on August 1st. (The GA floor tickets were sold out within the hour of sale.)�

Since their debut at�Rockefeller Center press conference in New York on August 24th 1992, X Japan's�explosive live show has captivated a worldwide audience. The band has had a�notoriously tumultuous career, which includes the loss of two of its five founding�members to tragic death and breakups. Despite its hardships, the band has steadfastly�maintained the X Japan vision and brought themselves together to perform this October�where their U.S. story started, in New York City.

This performance will no doubt be a historical event. The band will be performing both�fan favorites and previously unreleased music from their decades of recordings.�

In June 2014, "THE WORLD -X JAPAN- The World's First Best of Album" was released�after 13 years since their last release. On August 6th (Japan Time), YOSHIKI will�announce details of an exclusive Japan concert during his Twitter Q&A. Fans can tweet�in their questions using the hashtag #AskYoshiki.
