YOSHIKI Invited to Perform National Anthem at Dodger Stadium for “Hello Kitty Night”

Following his return from Milan, YOSHIKI held a press conference in Tokyo, unveiling exciting new developments for his high-fashion brand, MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS, which debuted at last month’s Milan Fashion Week.

It was also announced that YOSHIKI will perform the U.S. national anthem at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on April 16 for “Hello Kitty Night“, with Hello Kitty making a special appearance for the ceremonial first pitch. Dodger Stadium is the home of Los Angeles Dodgers’ star players Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

Earlier this year, it was announced that YOSHIKI will create the global theme song for Hello Kitty’s 50th Anniversary celebration.

Tickets for the Dodger Stadium special event can be purchased via the official Dodgers website.

YOSHIKI said at the press conference, “The concept of MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS is edgy, genderless, sustainable, and upcycled.”

Vogue Magazine review: “At MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS, modern tailoring and hard edged details make for perfect harmony… glamour and drama coexisted well in this solid debut.” The fashion line also received rave reviews from the media around the world, including WWD and New York Magazine’s The Cut.

The complete footage of MAISON YOSHIKI PARIS’s debut collection was revealed on the brand’s official YouTube channel:
