YOSHIKI & SUGIZO @ OTAKON 2010!!

From Otakon:

Otakon is proud to welcome YOSHIKI & SUGIZO of the legendary visual kei rock band X JAPAN.

They'll appear during Otakon's Masquerade, where they'll participate in a moderated Q&A session. As a special treat for Otakon members, they'll perform a brief, intimate, acoustic set as an intermission-- just one week before X JAPAN appears at Lollapalooza in Chicago. @_@

The modern day traditionalists Yoshida Brothers & hip-hop act Home Made Kazoku will also be musical guest performing @ Otakon
