Tokyo, Japan – Legendary Japanese rock musician Yoshiki, known for his deep-rooted philanthropy, has once again stepped forward to offer support in the face of natural disasters. This time, Yoshiki, a dual resident of Tokyo and Los Angeles, donated $100,000 for disaster relief to assist victims impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The hurricanes severely affected communities, especially in North Carolina and Florida, with widespread flooding and property destruction.
Relief for Musical Professionals
The donation, made through Yoshiki’s non-profit organization, Yoshiki Foundation America, was directed towards MusiCares, a charitable arm of the Recording Academy/Grammys, to support musical professionals who have been impacted by the storms. Musicians, many of whom work as freelancers, are particularly vulnerable when personal gear, offices, and studios are damaged.
“I hope to raise awareness about the situation and encourage support for the victims. I believe my involvement can help draw more attention, especially within Asia,” Yoshiki shared in his press statement. The musician emphasized his commitment to aiding those affected and encouraging others to join him in the effort.
