During a recent press conference it was revealed that X Japan's Yoshiki has been selected to compose the main track for the upcoming 2012 Golden Globe Awards.
The 69th edition of the awards that will be hosted by Ricky Gervais will air on January 15th through MBC with the pre-show at 4:00-5:00pm PST.
Dr. Takla-O’Reilly mentioned, "Yoshiki is a world-renowned musician and composer of enormous talent and versatility, who in addition to being a rock superstar has composed for film and television”. The production team also stated that they are looking forward to incorporating Yoshiki’s music into the production of the Awards.
Yoshiki also said, "The Golden Globe Awards are extremely prestigious, but the show is also edgy. I’m a classical pianist and a rock drummer, so it was natural to create something beautiful that also has an edge.”
