YOSHIKI has donated 10 million yen to Chiba Prefecture to support victims of the record-breaking rains that struck the region August 13–14, 2026 — now named the "Reiwa 8 August Chiba Heavy Rains," which forced evacuation orders for over 400,000 people and caused confirmed deaths and widespread flooding. The gift goes to Chiba Prefecture's official disaster relief fund for distribution to affected households.
YOSHIKI's comment: "I offer my deepest condolences to those who lost their lives in this heavy rain. I also extend my heartfelt sympathies to all those affected and their families. I have been based in Los Angeles for over 30 years, but Chiba will always be my cherished hometown. It breaks my heart to see my hometown suffer such great damage. I wanted to do what I could for my hometown, and that is why I made this donation. I hope this support will be of some help to those affected and that the circle of support will expand even further. I sincerely hope for the swift recovery and reconstruction of the affected areas and that everyone can return to a normal life where they can live in peace."
YOSHIKI has donated €100,000 to support communities affected by the devastating wildfires in France and Spain and ¥10 million to support relief efforts following the powerful earthquake that struck Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan on July 29.
“Even though I have lived in Los Angeles for many years, Japan will always be my home, and Europe—especially France—has also become another home to me,” YOSHIKI said. “Seeing people in France, Spain, and Japan facing such devastating disasters is heartbreaking. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the wildfires in France and Spain, including those who have lost their homes and the courageous people working on the front lines.
“My thoughts are also with everyone affected by the earthquake in Kumamoto and those waiting for news of loved ones. With aftershocks continuing, please put your safety first. Disasters do not recognize borders, and compassion should not either. I hope these donations provide immediate support, encourage others to help, and remind those affected that they are not alone.”
YOSHIKI was interviewed on the BBC News program "Outside Source" to discuss the current COVID-19 situation with over 100 million viewers worldwide. YOSHIKI was asked about his charity efforts, his #SING4LIFE collaboration with Bono, will.i.am , and Jennifer Hudson, and his concern for the safety of his fans.
YOSHIKI has donated $100,000 ($50,000 to the Australian Red Cross to aid victims of the Australian wildfires and $50,000 to the Rainforest Trust’s Conservation Action Fund) to two of the world’s most urgent environmental issues through his 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization Yoshiki Foundation America.
“Conservation and sustainability are two of my primary concerns,” said YOSHIKI. “No matter what country you are from, we are all one planet. This is an issue that concerns everyone, and I hope more people will join this cause.”
