Image Yoshiki has confirmed the rumors of the creation of a superband, with the members being himself, Gackt, miyavi and Sugizo.

The band will be called SKIN and will appear at Anime Expo in California on June 29th. A rumor of such a superband has been circulating for a while, however this is the first time it has been publicly detailed about who will be in the group. The news was announced during the JRock Revolution Festival, a live show in LA featuring many of Japan's top Jrock bands.

On a side note, Yoshiki saves the day for cold campers by giving them hot chocolate and warm coffee. An entry on his blog reveals how he was returning home late at night and saw eager fans camping outside the venue for the JRock Revolution Festival...

"I just have to tell you something. ...Last night after the recording, I drove by the Wiltern Theater (LA). I saw several cool looking people camping outside the venue.

It was probably around midnight.I wondered "Who's performing tomorrow?"

I then called one of my assistants to find out the schedule of the venue….. He said "Only the JRock festival is happening this week at that venue." Then I said "Are you serious? Are they camping out for our concert?"..

It was already late, but I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about them.. So..... around 3 A.M. I drove up to the venue, and brought several coffees and hot chocolates to them…..
 
L.A. is still very cold at night….. Also .. I don't know I was just very shocked because the show starts on Friday.  One of the guys said he'd been camping out since Monday.. COME ON!!!!! .. I don't know what to say, but they're extremely devoted...I guess that's Rock 'n Roll but I hope they don't catch a cold.."
