Drummer, pianist and founder of popular rock group X Japan, Yoshiki will embark on a solo world tour this year, playing 10 gigs in eight countries.
Yoshiki announced the tour at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, Sankei Shimbun reported.
The museum is currently hosting an exhibition of Yoshiki’s crystal piano and costumes—the first exhibition for an Asian musician.
Yoshiki said the “YOSHIKI CLASSICAL WORLD TOUR 2014,” which starts on April 25, will take him to the U.S., UK, Russia, China and Mexico, among others. Venues will be prestigious halls which are used by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the San Francisco Symphony.
Yoshiki said a Japan leg may be included in the tour.

We'll find the path to Alsatia
We'll lose if we don't fight now
No one can play in the sculpture garden
Petrified faces are watching in the dark
Assimilate yourself in this mystical world
That's all you have to do
Day after day, you got tragic situation
Night after night, you tried to break the wall
Fortune is calling you in this mystical world
You'll find a way
Cloud in the mists of time
You must take your aim and play your game
Emotional neglect is the price that you must pay to your desire
It's Alsatia
You just believe in the lie to forget the awful truth
You know the disturbance never ends
There is no reason to take this process
Resentment will change into sweet desire
You'll run for your life in this mystical world
Beware of the night
Crawl in the mists of time
You must face the wall of the hate
Eternal vigilance is the price that you must pay to your desire
It's Alsatia
You just go against the law, fall into a delusion
You know the disturbance never ends
Cloud in the mists of time
You must take your aim and play your game
Emotional neglect is the price that you must pay to your desire
It's Alsatia
You just go against the law, fall into a delusion
You know the disturbance never ends
It's Alsatia
You just believe in the lie to forget the awful truth
You know the disturbance never ends
We'll find the path to Alsatia
We'll lose if we don't fight now
Destiny is calling you, passing through your edge of heart
We're not a loss anymore, and look up your future...
OH, YEAH!
Mou mayou koto nado nai
Nayami tsudzukeru koto mo nai
Miageta sono toki, subete ni kidzuita
Ima made no ayamachi wo
Jibun wo miushinaisou ni naru koto nante, mou nai hazu
Tada hitotsu no onaji hoshi wo miteru
Destiny is calling you, passing through your edge of heart
We're not a loss anymore, and look up your future
And surely, we'll unite once again
We're filled with power
Don't lose the past
Gone with the steel
Mou nigeru koto nado nai
Kakae tsudzukeru mono mo nai
Miageta sono toki, subete ni kidzuita
Ima made no ayamachi wo
Jibun wo miushinaisou ni naru koto nante, mou nai hazu
Tada hitotsu no onaji hoshi wo miteru
Destiny is calling you, passing through your edge of heart
We're not a loss anymore, and look up your future
And surely, we'll unite once again
We're filled with power
Don't lose the past
Gone with the steel
Ima ni mou kaesou datta hikari yo, mou ichido michibike
Tada hitotsu no onaji hoshi wo miteru
Destiny is calling you, passing through your edge of heart
We're not a loss anymore, and look up your future
And surely, we'll unite once again
We're filled with power
Don't lose the past
Gone with the steel
Destiny is calling you, but you don't believe it
Keeper of the resurrection is standing alone
And surely, we'll unite once again with strong faith
Live to survive, live for my life
Just like...those stars!
