Yoshiki on his decision to tour:
“Last year in May I lost my mother. At that time, I couldn’t do anything. I had to cancel my live TV shows, and I actually went to see a doctor, The tears kept coming for days. Then I started composing this song called ‘Requiem’. I thought I should move forward; I shouldn’t give up. To move forward and to really thank my fans who supported me, I decided to do this tour.”
New single ‘Requiem,’ will be released on the 21st July.
