YOSHIKI AND KISS WILL COLLABORATE FOR ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME NEW YEAR'S EVE TELEVISION PERFORMANCE
ROCK LEGENDS FROM AMERICA AND JAPAN WILL PERFORM ON WORLDWIDE MUSIC SPECIAL BROADCAST
YOSHIKI will team up with American rock legends KISS for a once-in-a-lifetime television performance on Japan's NHK network.
The artists will appear together as “YOSHIKI feat. KISS” (“YOSHIKISS”) during the New Year's Eve “Red and White Music Battle” (“Kouhaku Uta Gassen”), the most-watched television program in Japan which is also broadcast worldwide.
YOSHIKI's televised performance with KISS follows Gene Simmons ed YOSHIKI on stage to perform “Rock and Roll All Nite” at the 2016 Visual Japan Summit in Tokyo.
The performance will mark the first time YOSHIKI and KISS have appeared on television together. “I want us to create a performance that will have a big impact,” YOSHIKI said. “I think we're really going to shock people.”
KISS's Gene Simmons also commented, “It's an honor to perform on NHK in my favorite country in the world. YOSHIKI is a Japanese legend, but he never forgets to have a humble heart. I've been influenced by his humble approach to his work.”
Paul Stanley also praised YOSHIKI, saying, “Not only is YOSHIKI a wonderful pianist and drummer, but he continues to express the importance of living, and has had a great impact on us.”
For YOSHIKI, KISS was a life-saving force in his childhood as he dealt with the despair caused by the sudden death of his father. “KISS saved my life.” said YOSHIKI, who had studied classical piano throughout his youth and began drumming as a way of releasing his emotional pain.
“Instead of banging things, I started banging drums,” YOSHIKI said in the Sarah Brightman on vocals for the chart-topping “Miracle”.
