As he presents his first film “Under the Sky” in Paris and prepares to launch his fashion line, Japanese superstar Yoshiki speaks to Eve Jackson about being both a heavy metal rock god selling out arenas since the 1980s with his group X Japan, as well as a classical composer and concert pianist who brings the house down in historic venues like the Royal Albert Hall and Carnegie Hall.
