Yoshiki, Japan's top rock star and the founder of the most successful rock band in Japanese history, the 30-million-selling X Japan, is sitting in a lounge at the Shibuya Hikarie skyscraper on the opening day of Tokyo Fashion Week. In three days prior, X Japan curated and headlined the first annual Visual Japan Summit, a festival of more than 50 "visual-kei" bands drawing nearly 100,000 fans (and surprise guest Gene Simmons) to Makuhari Messe, Japan's largest convention center.
