Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced that Yoshiki, the leader of one of most successful rock band in Japan, X Japan, is now writing the theme for this year's Golden Globe Awards show. The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards will be broadcasted on Sunday, Jan. 15.

Yoshiki said, "I feel very honored. Honestly, I still can't believe this. This may be the most important job in my life." The HFPA president Dr. Aida Takia-O'Reilly also commented, "Yoshiki is a world-renowned musician and composer of enormous talent and versatility, who in addition to being a rock superstar, has composed for film and television. As an international organization dedicated to creative achievements, the HFPA is delighted to have a global musical artist of Yoshiki's stature create the theme for the show."

Then, here is a question from Japan. Is Yoshiki so big and famous already in the United States?

Will the people watch the show understand who he is?
