The unlikely collaboration of Disney and YOSHIKI shocked and delighted his millions of fans worldwide, who have long revered him as the fast-drumming rebel who pioneered rock in his home country. But YOSHIKI, also a gifted pianist and composer, has gone on to worldwide success in classical music – so when Disney asked to him to star in their new documentary series, he knew it would be a natural fit. In fact, he performs the songs in the program on his signature crystal grand piano with a string quartet.
