X Japan mainman Yoshiki guested with Golden Bomber at the Japan Visual Summit 2016 at the weekend.
Yoshiki played drums with Golden Bomber as they performed their hit May May She Kutay, which translates as “effeminate guy.”
Golden Bomber singer Sho tells TeamRock: “Yoshiki came up to us, like, ‘Well, I think I can play drums with you,’ and we said, ‘Oh my god – whatever you want. We are going to do whatever you want.’
“Of course Yoshiki is a legend, and we accept everything he says. It was like a dream come true, and of course the audience are really excited, but we’re the ones who are most excited – we’re like kids in a candy store.”
