Line 6:
* L.O.X.
* Globe
* V2 with [[Tetsuya Komuro]]
* [[Violet UK]] (Yoshiki's solo project)
* S.K.I.N ("superband" featuring [[Gackt]], [[Miyavi]], and [[Sugizo]], one performance only
Line 24:
Currently, Yoshiki is also a video blogger and an executive advisor with [[U Stream]]. That said, he posts far more regularly on Twitter at @YoshikiOfficial.
 
NOT related to [[Yo -Yo Plot Point]], though if his film auteur aspirations ever became successful, who knows?
 
Tropes relating to or included in [[Blood Red Dragon]], the [[Comic Book]] featuring his [[Author Avatar]] (or [[Mary Sue]] if you want to be less charitable) are to be listed on a separate page created for that story once it is in publication. They are NOT to be listed on this page, which deals with the real artist.
Line 35:
** Played straight in the 2010 video for ''Jade,'' in which Yoshiki is morphed into a CGI werewolf.
* [[Angst]]: Yoshiki's life has been, in so many ways, angstier than any of his music. If you wish to find out how, go elsewhere.
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Working with [[Stan Lee]].
* [[Attention Whore]]: Back in the day. To somewhat less of an extent now.
* [[Bi the Way]]: [[You Should Know This Already]]
Line 53:
* [[Heroic Willpower]]: Arguably one of the pictures of this in the dictionary. If he wants to do something, he will. not. stop. until it's accomplished, no matter what the personal cost or health cost or whatever, unless outside forces intervene to the point that he's pretty much legally banned or absolutely physically incapable from doing it - and he'll even try to find a way around that sometimes.
* [[I Am the Band]]: For [[Violet UK]], Yoshiki is the only permanent member.
* [[In -Joke]]: RICE MONSTER! Also, the "piano guy."
* [[Love Hurts]]: Yoshiki became entirely overcome with grief after [[Hideto Matsumoto|hide]]'s death. One can argue that it is obsession or love, but he has written at least three known songs for hide (Without You and Jade for X and Unnamed Song for Violet UK).
* [[Never Got to Say Goodbye]]: Not to his father nor to hide. Yoshiki has used these actual words in his memorial song "Tears."
Line 62:
* [[Rule of Drama]]
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Arguably, from 1998 until 2002 or so, and then only slowly coming back. The loss of his band, the then-loss of his friend Toshi to Masaya's cult, then [[Hideto Matsumoto|hide]]'s death hit in almost unrelenting order, leaving him suicidal and an absolute emotional wreck until he could slowly begin to recover. Listed because it is reflected in his music and in public communications.
* [[Self-Serving Memory]]: Compare his recollection of some events in "YOSHIKI" to [[Taiji Sawada|Taiji's]] recollection of the same events in "Sei To Shi." And as an example of an endless loop, now go to [[Taiji Sawada]] and look up [[Self-Serving Memory]].
* [[Shrug of God]]: There's a lot of this from Yoshiki over the band's recent reunion, as well as the progress of [[Violet UK]].
* [[Something About a Rose]] / [[The Tragic Rose]]: Yoshiki and [[X Japan]] often have a lot of rose motifs. This is also [[Author Appeal]] for Yoshiki as he has mentioned maintaining a rose garden at his home.
Line 70:
* [[Trope Maker]]: [[Visual Kei]]
* [[Trope Namer]]: [[Visual Kei]]
* [[Whammy Bid]]: Some fraudulent ones, made by people [[Troll|trolling]] a charity auction of one of his pianos for the earthquake and tsunami relief effort.
* [[Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things]]: Cancelwank 2008 and 2009 and [[Troll|trolls]]. That said it is mostly over now, because he is back on the Internet, albeit in far less troll-vulnerable ways.
* [[You Can Barely Stand]]: Yoshiki playing through injuries.
