Japanese musician and composer YOSHIKI received a standing ovation for his beautiful piano performance of the U.S. National Anthem at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on April 16 during “Hello Kitty Night.”
The rock star – who has been named “the most influential musician in Japanese history” and has lived in Los Angeles for nearly 20 years – also performed his international hit “Endless Rain,” which he composed for his rock band X Japan.
YOSHIKI received more cheers when he was asked to make the ceremonial opening announcement broadcast over the stadium: “It’s time for Dodgers Baseball!” YOSHIKI was also presented with autographed jerseys from Dodgers’ star players Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto and his own custom “YOSHIKI” jersey with number 44.
