U.S. and U.K. release dates for forthcoming music documentary Yoshiki: Under The Sky have been revealed.

From December 1 through December 7, the documentary will be screened at a handful of theaters across the U.K. On December 5, Yoshiki will take part of a special screening and live Q&A at the Odeon Covent Garden.

A synopsis for Yoshiki: Under The Sky reads:
The music documentary film YOSHIKI: UNDER THE SKY features the world-renowned rock star and composer leading a global concert featuring today's top musical artists.
Directed by YOSHIKI – leader of rock bands X Japan and The Last Rockstars – the project was conceived during the recent period when artists could not connect with their fans. YOSHIKI has gathered an unprecedented collection of artists for a deeply emotional journey, including a heartbreaking interaction with the husband of a terminally ill fan and a celebration of voices joined from across international borders.
With powerful live performances by The Chainsmokers (USA), St. Vincent (USA), Sarah Brightman (England), Scorpions (Germany), HYDE (Japan), SUGIZO (Japan), SixTONES (Japan), Jane Zhang (China), Lindsey Stirling (USA), Nicole Scherzinger (USA), and more, YOSHIKI: UNDER THE SKY demonstrates the power of music and YOSHIKI's message to the world that we can overcome any difficulties together.
Yoshiki said this about the documentary:
"When I first began working on this project, I didn't know when we would all be able to gather in the same place and share the joy of music. Coming together with these great artists from around the world, we were able to create a theatrical experience that I'm very proud of. I'm so grateful for everyone who joined us on this journey and I’m incredibly excited to be releasing the film in UK cinemas this December."
Yoshiki will be busy later this month with performances in the J-rock supergroup The Last Rockstars. From November 21 through November 23, they’ll perform at Ariake Arena in Tokyo. On November 29, the band will return to Los Angeles for a special headlining performance at YouTube Theater. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
