YOSHIKI donates 10,000,000 yen to support Red Cross aiding the Kumamoto Earthquake Relief

Yoshiki Foundation America, a 501(c)(3) organization, run by the leader of legendary Japanese rock band X JAPAN, announced that the foundation is supporting the efforts of the Japan Red Cross rushing aid those who are affected by the recent Kumamoto Earthquake by donating JPY10,000,000.
Yoshiki happened to be in Japan when the deadly earthquake hit Kumamoto and has been following the developing news related to this disaster. With more than 500 continuing after-shocks and the devastation still spreading in the area Yoshiki was compelled to make this significant donation.
Though a Japanese citizen, Yoshiki has been living in the US for a very long time and he has been deeply affected by the Japanese response to the quake. “It is touching to see the people keep their cool and integrity in such a devastating situation,” he commented. “Such mannerism is admired on a global level and I’d love to spread that spirit of the Japanese people to the world.” Yoshiki was recently appointed as the advisor of Japan House, which is a new Japanese government initiative scheduled to take place in Los Angeles, London, and Sao Paulo, which showcases everything Japan from its culture, art, food, and technology to the local population.
