Have you asked yourself what it is like to sing on the stage with Yoshiki?
One of Yoshiki's fans will feel that very soon.
Yesterday ended the charity auction about the opportunity to sing a X Japan's song with Yoshiki on the piano. The winner in the auction will be able to makes his/her dream come true - to record a song and to sing it on live with the famous musician. The bidding price which ensures to the lucky one this incredible opportunity is $38,496.03. All of the sum will be endowed to the Make-a-Wish Foundation for Japan.
The winner will have to choose one song written by Yoshiki which is going to be recorded in a studio. If he/she doesn't want to sing the song may be performed with no vocals (piano only). The happy bidder will also be able to gift that experience to his/her friend, because the sponsors give the right to the winner to bring a guest. The performers are responsible for their transport and stay.
Time and place will be settled after coordinating with Yoshiki and the winner's schedule.
But one thing is sure. In the next one year in Tokyo or LA, together with the lucky one who won a private dinner with Yoshiki there will be one more happy fan who will sing on the stage with his/her idol.
Congratulations!
