Hi all, just want to get this out there while it's hot:

Yoshiki of X Japan will be stopping by FanimeCon on Saturday evening in support of the Yoshiki Foundation. He will be hosting a panel and autograph session.

Further details coming up soon. This happened quite spontaneously, so we're still hashing out the details - but we are thrilled to have him stop by.

I hope you are as excited as I am. Let's show him some Fanime spirit!

Yoshiki is a LEGEND, i can't believe he's actually coming to the con. It's like a dream come true!!!!
OMG! What the Fugnuggets is going on?!

Oh my God...  I can't believe this is happening.  I got to see X Japan in Oakland during their North American tour.  It was the most amazing concert of my life.  I had no idea he was going to be at Fanime!  This just made my day.  Will this be in the schedule?  =D

Since he is quite literally a "last minute addition", we're going to figure out where we can fit in his events. Unfortunately, I don't have an estimation of when they will be finalized/added.

Ah, I see.  Well, if you figure it out, please post on this topic.  I'm sure he's going to end up being the most popular thing going on at Fanime now.  XD

Yoshiki goes to the Nijiya near me all the time(when he's staying in LA). He gets lots of canned stuff when he goes.

They were amazing.  Enough said.  It was a dream come true.  The best part of the night was when Toshi drank out of a water bottle, then sprayed it on the crowd.  It totally went in my mouth.  I was laughing afterwards, cause I was thinking, "Oh my God!  I have Toshi DNA in me!"  O.O  (Perks of getting to the front...)

Much excitement for Yoshiki

It's been awhile since I've been on this forum, since I haven't been to Fanime in 2 years but im coming back this year and what do I get Flow, Yuya and an event with Yoshiki!!

Great to see Yoshiki is making time to go do a Yoshiki foundation event at Fanime since right now he is in NYC for his Sirius Radio show, and starting the X Japan world tour soon along side being at Comic Con to promote his new comic with Stan Lee, wanting the new single and cd soon too..

still great to see him busy

I've been a big fun of X Japan and Yoshiki since I was 15.
I heard "Forever love" when I was coming home from abroad. I remember thinking to myself, 12 years ago, 'I will never be able to see X Japan live' but I did get to see them when they played at the Fox Theater on Sept 2010 in Oakland, and I fell to tears when they played "Endless Rain." It truly is a dream come true.
Hearing that Yoshiki will be at Fanime brings back good memories and makes me believe again that dreams can be fulfilled, you just have to wait for it.  :)

You were there too?!  Wasn't it amazing?  I had the same thought, I will never be able to see them live.  It will be impossible.  But then, there I was, in the front row.  I too, was moved to tears when we all sang Endless Rain.  Memories I will never forget.  =)

Yoshiki being at Fanime is just beyond epic. I was also at the X Japan concert in Oakland this past September. I actually caught one of the water bottles Sugizo threw into the crowd. My friend was the lucky one though, he caught Yoshiki's drum stick. Anyways, that concert was the best I've been to and it's gonna be awesome seeing this legendary rocker at Fanime.
