YOSHIKI : Michael Jackson : This is it


Michael Jackson passed away in June 2009, and a documentary film featuring Michael titled 'マイケル・ジャクソン THIS IS IT / Michael Jackson's This is It' has premiered in theaters worldwide on October 28th. On October 27th (local time) at Los Angeles's NOKIA Theatre, X JAPAN member YOSHIKI attended the premiere event.

The movie highly anticipated by fans all over the world attracted a host of big name celebrities to the event, including Will Smith and Jennifer Lopez, who have known Michael well. YOSHIKI was also well acquainted with the artist, so a person close to Michael directly invited him to the event.

YOSHIKI has been busy lately, especially since recovering from a surgery. Although he was physically tired he still made it to the event. Above all else he genuinely wanted to pay respect to Michael as a fellow musician. His appreciation for Michael could be seen from the way he attended the event. Even though the event was attracting lots of attention around the world, he purposely avoided the red carpet and left just as silently on his way home.

YOSHIKI at first was smiling, but as soon as the film started he began to shed tears. He seemed deeply grieved by the death of Michael, and the movie probably brought back memories while strengthening the sense of loss. He only stopped crying after the film finished.

The movie 'マイケル・ジャクソン THIS IS IT / Michael Jackson's This is It' premiered from October 28th worldwide and will be shown for a limited period of two weeks.
