Japanese superstar singer-songwriter Yoshiki has signed a global distribution and publishing administration agreement with BMG through his record label, Melodee.
BMG will provide global distribution for Yoshiki’s new releases, beginning with “Forever Love (Live),” his new collaboration with internationally celebrated vocalist Josh Groban. The agreement also encompasses his solo album “Eternal Melody” and X Japan albums released from 1993 onward, including the hit albums “Art of Life” and “Dahlia.” BMG will additionally administer his publishing outside Japan.
Yoshiki said, “I’ve always believed that music has no borders. I’m now entering one of the most ambitious and creative chapters of my career, with new projects that bring together rock, pop, classical and contemporary music in ways I have never explored before. I’m thrilled to partner with BMG to bring this vision to the world. ‘Forever Love’ with Josh Groban marks the beginning-but this partnership represents something much bigger for the future.”
“Yoshiki is a true global artist whose creativity, vision, and connection with fans transcend genres and borders,” said BMG senior VP Michael Kachko. “We are proud to partner with him at BMG to support and amplify this next chapter on a worldwide scale.”
