Skin is an upcoming supergroup consisting of several Japanese rock musicians. It is to include Gackt, Miyavi, Sugizo and Yoshiki. The group will give its debut performance at Anime Expo 2007.

In August 2006, Yoshiki (formerly in X Japan and Globe) announced at Otakon that he would start a band with Gackt (formerly in Malice Mizer).[1] In December of the same year, it was reported that Sugizo (formerly in Luna Sea) might be joining the group as the third member.[2] Finally, on May 25, 2007, at the J Rock Revolution festival in Los Angeles, Skin was eventually announced, including the previously discussed artists, as well as Miyavi (formerly in Dué le quartz). Skin will perform at the Anime Expo convention in Long Beach, California on June 29, 2007.[3] On May 27 it was announced that a U.S. tour would start after the Anime Expo performance, followed by some performances in Japan in November.[4] Yoshiki confirmed that the group will release an album and that rough recordings of several songs were made in March 2007. A bassist has not yet been determined.[5]


A few days after the newly announced lineup Yoshiki stated in an interview that the band had recorded 7 or 8 tracks in principle for the upcoming album. [6] A sample of one of these tracks can be heard in the popup window regarding the band on Miyavi's official website. [7]
