YOSHIKI (X JAPAN) answers questions about composing the theme song for the Golden Globes

"It's such an honor to be a part of this esteemed event which is enjoyed by hundreds of millions around the world," said Yoshiki. "Composing this music was a journey that involved creating numerous versions in order to arrive at just the right sound to capture the unique combination of glamour and edginess that makes the Golden Globe Awards so entertaining. I'm very proud of the result and am thrilled that Warner Music has chosen to make it available around the world."

Yoshiki recorded the theme, which opens the show and is used at other key moments during the broadcast, in his native Japan. He played many of the instruments himself before adding a full string orchestra.

"To have world-renowned musician Yoshiki compose the theme song for the Golden Globes is an honor for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and we are delighted that the single is now being released worldwide," said HFPA President Dr. Aida Takla-O'Reilly. "Our international organization recognizes the most accomplished entertainers in film, television and music, and Yoshiki certainly fits right in among our honorees,"

All profits from the iTunes sales of the single will be donated to charities chosen by the HFPA.

Wait a second. Is the one that's being released the same theme from last year's Golden Globes or was he asked to compose a second one and that's the one being released? I'm confused.

[clow_eriol 240]

I think it's the theme of the last year's Golden Globes. I haven't read anything about If he'll compose another theme for this year too.

FINALLY

I really wanted to get that one, but the only thing we got was those really short previews

Shit was really good.

The GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS theme of 2013 it's too composed by Yoshiki, so the release may be this one.

No doubt most citizens of the world awakened this morning with the following question burning in their minds: "I wonder what the theme to the 2013 Golden Globes this year will be?"

No? Regardless, it's called "Golden Globe Original Theme" and was written by international Japanese rock superstar Yoshiki of the rock group X-Japan, the so-called Bono of Asia. Yoshiki will present this composition to the world when the awards ceremony airs on Sunday, and it will be available for download that same day.

This is nothing new for the composer -- he did it last year, and is no doubt well aware of the importance of bringing viewers in and out of commercial breaks and delivering this year's co-hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey on a bed of grandiose strings, neatly straddling that line between pure cheese and classical gas. While we wait to learn whether Louis C.K. will beat Alec Baldwin for best actor in a TV series comedy, Yoshiki's instrumental creation will offer comfort.

In a statement, Yoshiki said that "composing this music was a journey that involved creating numerous versions in order to arrive at just the right sound to capture the unique combination of glamour and edginess that makes the Golden Globe Awards so entertaining."

The "unique combination" that Yoshiki describes? Something like a 21st century version of Lawrence Welk as interpreted by Liberace that's been inflated until it nearly bursts. Or, as one commenter describes on the song's Soundcloud page, "peaceful like flying in the sky."

Whether Yoshiki's contribution to the glitz and glamour will be properly recognized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. is another matter. As one commenter noted, last year Yoshiki "was only mentioned at the END of the show in the credits, they couldn't even give him a proper introduction. Very disappointed, theme song was amazing though." Listen to it below.

It seems it's the same from last year. Just check the preview on his soundcloud. I love it as I did last year.
