Title: Yoshiki's comment about MJ's death.
Post by: roseofpain84 on June 29, 2009, 04:39:06 AM
An article was posted in Yahoo Japan about Yoshiki's reaction/comment to Michael Jackson's death.

Link here: http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20090629-00000037-sanspo-ent

I tried to read it but as my Japanese are lame, I can't write a direct translation...\m/
As I understood, the comment was made to Sanspo through Yoshiki's mangement and the quote is given in English.

Quote
Michael Jackson was not only a great artist, but he was also a true entertainer. He had, and still has enormous respect from all artists all over the world.That includes myself.It is a very sad time for us.My heart goes out to all the family members, and all of his fans

It also says that when he was notified of MJ's death he was shocked and speechless because it was very sudden.
The article also mentions that Michael Jackson has recorded at Extasy stiudios some times and a few other things about how he and Yoshiki met.

It also goes on to say that because the Jackson's family house is in the same street as Yoshiki's house (as a matter of fact they're like in the same fucking square but whatever...) ever since MJ's death was announced there were reporters and helicopters all over the place making a lot of noise so Yoshiki couldn't sleep properly. (And why on earth was that info on that article??XD)

Thank you, roseofpain! :)

and LOL "there were reporters and helicopters all over the place making a lot of noise so Yoshiki couldn't sleep properly. (And why on earth was that info on that article??XD)" that's really something pretty pointless to add :P I mean, it sounds really ridiculous to say that after talking about someone's death....xOx;

I remember reading about a meeting between MJ and Yoshiki a few years back, where MJ apparently took a liking to Yoshiki's tendonitis gloves and asked if he could have them. Yoshiki explained that they were "medical devices" but Jacko insisted that he wanted them, so in the end Yoshiki gave MJ the pair he was wearing.

You know, I'm gonna get flamed for this - but whenever I see interviews with Yoshiki his body language and how he speaks reminds me a lot of Michael Jackson. They both hold themselves in a very shy manner and speak very softly.

I wouldn't flame you.. no way...

They both are very shy, very talented.. and have enormous hearts for their fellow man.

It's just so sad to loose someone like that.   I was shocked and just... stunned.  I kinda had a bad week last week.. and was in a crisis center... and thought it was a mistake or joke.. I couldn't believe the news..... but.. it's true... and so sad
