Yoshiki recalled how he had met HFPA president Dr. Aida Takla-O’Reilly at a party, and hearing he had composed the theme for the world’s fair Expo 2005 and a song to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Emperor Akihito’s enthronement, she asked if he would compose a theme for the Golden Globes.
To commemorate the occasion he unveiled a gift (left) he had designed for all 85 HFPA members—-a framed disc and some musical notes which, when put together, comprise the Golden Globes theme.
