Yoshiki's Take on Twitter's Rebranding and Potential 'X Japan' Name Poaching
Twitter's recent rebranding to "X" has raised concerns in Japan, as it would make its Japanese division "X Japan," which is already the name of a legendary rock band. Fans speculated if Twitter would claim ownership of the name, but X Japan founder Yoshiki reassured them that the band's name is already trademarked. While it remains unclear if the band's copyright would prevent Twitter from using "X" in Japan, it seems unlikely that the social media platform will rename itself "X Japan."
