As he presents his first film "Under the Sky" in Paris and prepares to launch his fashion line, Japanese superstar Yoshiki speaks to Eve Jackson about being both a heavy metal rock god selling out arenas since the 1980s with his group X Japan, as well as a classical composer and concert pianist who brings the house down in historic venues like the Royal Albert Hall and Carnegie Hall. The Japanese polymath also shares how he turned his grief and anger following his father's suicide into creative energy which drives him on his artistic mission.
