“Thank you Revolver. Thank you so much for recognizing us,” said Yoshiki, leader of X
Japan, who was present at the ceremony to accept the award.
“Some people might have heard of us, we're from Japan. Well, our band name is X Japan.
We toured North America in 2010, and did our first world tour last year. Now we are
finishing our first worldwide debut album. And we are planning on doing another world
tour soon. And to our beloved fans: Thank you so much for your support, we are going to
keep on rocking. And we fucking love you.”
