YOSHIKI’s “world’s most luxurious dinner show,” “EVENING / BREAKFAST with YOSHIKI 2025 in TOKYO JAPAN KURENAI,” held at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo from Friday, August 22nd to Sunday, August 31st, came to a spectacular close after 10 performances over six days. YOSHIKI underwent his third major neck surgery in October last year and underwent a long rehabilitation period. This performance, which came after a long rehabilitation period following a long rehabilitation period, generated a great deal of buzz immediately after its announcement, and all seats for the “VVIP Diamond Package,” the highest price ever paid, priced at 1 million yen, were sold out in one day. This stage attracted more attention than usual. To date, YOSHIKI has hosted a total of 98 dinner shows, and this latest one marks another milestone in that history. On Saturday, the 23rd, the second day of the concert, YOSHIKI sustained an injury to his right hand during the curtain call due to contact with a fan. While undergoing treatment, YOSHIKI remained on stage until the end, completing all 10 shows. During his first drum solo since surgery, he performed so intensely that he staggered midway through, drawing thunderous applause and cheers from the audience for his intense performance. His new song, “The Seine,” completed on the morning of the opening day, was performed for the first time in the world, enveloping the venue in a majestic and beautiful worldview.

From deep conversations about his outlook on life and art to humorous exchanges, his unique presence elicited surprise, laughter, and thunderous applause from the audience. Following his work in music, fashion, and wine, YOSHIKI further expanded the possibilities of entertainment by incorporating AI, a next-generation form of expression.

Furthermore, when world junior figure skating champion Shimada Mao attended, YOSHIKI suddenly performed “Miracle,” a song she uses in her performance, creating a special moment that deeply touched the hearts of the audience. Looking back on the performance, YOSHIKI commented, “It’s been a while since I’ve performed a full concert, so I was honestly worried about whether I could pull it off, but this performance was made possible thanks to the support of so many people. When I had my third neck surgery last year, I thought I’d never be able to play the drums again, but when I was playing, my hands moved on their own. I’m truly grateful to everyone who always supports me.”
