X Japan - Yoshiki Composes 2012 Golden Globes Theme


Pianist and drummer Hayashi Yoshiki from the Japanese power metal band X Japan has composed the musical theme for this year's Golden Globe Awards, which take place today in Beverly Hills, California. The awards show will feature new music for the first time in 15 years.

Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Dr. Takla-O'Reilly states: "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. 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."

In a press release, Yoshiki commented: "The Golden Globe Awards are extremely prestigious, but the show is also edgy. I'm a classical pianist and a rock drummer, so it was natural to create something beautiful that also has an edge."

X Japan are also gearing up to release their first full English album this year.
