As we announced a month ago, YOSHIKI is putting his grand crystal piano on auction to gather funds for the victims of the natural disasters that struck Japan in March. The auction started today and the price of the piano has already gone up to 50,001,000YEN or $601,987. With over 6 days left until the auction ends, the money gathered will surely be a huge help to those in need.

The YOSHIKI Foundation America, a non-profit charity organization that YOSHIKI founded, has gathered other items, such as autographed t-shirts from Robert Pattinson, Reese Whiterspoon and James Franco, autoraphed comic books by Stan Lee and even the Red Hot Chilli Peppers 2008 MTV "Album of the Year" award. The other items are expected to go up on auction soon. You can see the full list of the items on the YOSHIKI Foundation America webpage.
