YOSHIKI will attend the "Entertainment Community Fund Medal of Honor" in New York on June 1 (local time) and receive the "Medal of Honor," the highest honor from the "Entertainment Community Fund," a historic charity that supports the US entertainment industry. This is the first time a Japanese artist has received the award, and in addition to attending the event, a performance is also scheduled for the day. Immediately before this award, on May 30 (Saturday) at 19:30 Japan time, a special live broadcast will be held from a studio in Tokyo on the official broadcast program "YOSHIKI CHANNEL." It has been decided that a roundtable discussion will be held with special guests, including investor and former Goldman Sachs employee Kei Tanaka and journalist Jun Hori, under the theme of "Fighting in the World: The Value of Artists in the AI Era." The broadcast will be held on Nico Nico Channel (Japan) and YouTube Channel Membership (worldwide including Japan), and some content will be released to the general public on YouTube. Currently, while waiting for the "Medal of Honor" award, YOSHIKI received a direct offer to perform from world-legend artist Diana Ross, and returned to Japan in a hurry to perform at the Tokyo performance held on May 23. Furthermore, he made a surprise appearance at the Osaka performance held on May 25, which is causing a big topic. In addition, he has a performance at the Los Angeles Walt Disney Concert Hall in July 2026, and he continues to expand his activities on a global scale.
