YOSHIKI to Perform U.S. National Anthem at Dodger Stadium's "Japanese Heritage Night" on April 27, Followed by Two-Night Performance at LA's Walt Disney Concert Hall in July

YOSHIKI is set to perform the U.S. national anthem at the Los Angeles Dodgers' "Japanese Heritage Night presented by Daiso" at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, USA, on Monday, April 27, local time. This performance is scheduled to be unveiled as a pre-game ceremony for the Dodgers vs. Miami Marlins game. "Japanese Heritage Night" is a special event held to honor and celebrate the charm of Japanese culture and traditions. Regarding this appearance, YOSHIKI commented: "It is a great honor to return to Dodger Stadium and perform the U.S. national anthem again in America, a country that has embraced my creative journey for approximately 30 years. For this performance, I aim for a cinematic expression that merges modern aesthetics with classical foundations, while showing the utmost respect for the tradition of the national anthem." YOSHIKI also performed the U.S. national anthem at Dodger Stadium in April 2024, which received a great response. Furthermore, in 2025, he performed both the Japanese and U.S. national anthems at the MLB Opening Series held at Tokyo Dome, leaving a strong impression as an iconic performance connecting the two nations through music. Following the global sensation caused by his performance of "Kimigayo" at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix held this past March, and the highly successful "YOSHIKI CLASSICAL 2026" three-day Tokyo performances, YOSHIKI will hold concerts at the world-renowned Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles for two nights on Thursday, July 16 and Friday, July 17, local time. Titled "SCARLET NIGHT" and "VIOLET NIGHT," these concerts will be YOSHIKI's long-awaited full-scale return to America, realized after undergoing his third cervical spine surgery in the latter half of 2024 and extensive rehabilitation. Each concert is planned to feature a different program, promising two special nights where YOSHIKI's unique cinematic musical world merges with the world's highest-quality acoustic space. The upcoming performance at Dodger Stadium is expected to generate significant anticipation as an emblematic appearance leading up to these highly anticipated stages. YOSHIKI, who was selected as one of TIME magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World (TIME100)" in 2025, continues to be active globally across genres and fields, from music, fashion, and film to philanthropy. In 2024, he also made headlines as the first Japanese artist to be honored with hand and footprints at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
