yoshiki-tells-all

Remember when I posted about about SAW IV director Darren Lynn Bousman and Yoshiki working together? Well he isn’t just a producer for the film, he is also singing the ending title for the movie. Well the movie has already had leaked songs on youtube and more trailers and previews all over the net! The film was supposed to be out by this spring but has been pushed back to November 7th. Here is an interview telling more about the movie and his involvement. Also I just found out that the official movie soundtrack – that Yoshiki produced – will be out in stores September 30th!

    Singing? … I think that guy [whoever the american guy is in the beginning] is confused … >.> … Yoshiki sing? I’m pretty sure Yoshiki won’t be singing as he’s said more than a few times that he doesn’t sing ^^
    … but if he did … well … that would be pretty damn interesting xD
    And Yoshiki said in the interview that Sarah Brightman [that how you spell it?] was doing the song didn’t he?
    … Yoshiki rambles worse than me >.>
    I’m sort of excited about this … I don’t like horror, but I love Yoshiki so … I’ll make an exception ^^

    @Pixy – yeah I was wondering about that as well!!! You are probably right and the translator got mixed up. I guess we can wait until the soundtrack comes out to hear~

    This just comfirms what everyone already knows, lol. Yoshiki is a sexy workaholic musician who is kinda incapable of finishing a project befiore picking up a new idea.(Violet UK, SKIN, X-Japan revival, anyone?)
