Like a kid on a sugar high

I don’t listen to much stuff classified as J-Rock, more because of lack of time than lack of interest, but I’ve been a fan of Miyavi for a while now. I love his style, his personality, and most of all, his music. When I found out that he was having a few shows on the same weekend as the Hollywood Bowl in the same area, it doubled the pain of living so far from California but even farther than any other city that attracts Asian artists. Despite the pain, I was overjoyed to read this review on SF Weekly’s site. (They also have a cool interview with him here.) If you’re a fan of Miyavi, you should read it to be proud of the man you and I both love. If you’re not a fan of Miyavi, you should read it too because it’s a fantastic review and I think you’ll find yourself wanting to learn more about this awesome artist. I felt so proud to be a Miyavi fan after reading the article. I mean, he’s so great and he’s so…Miyavi. The review is right, it’s pretty hard to describe Miyavi. Miyavi is Miyavi and that’s all anyone needs to know, right? I love how she pointed out how he ran along “like a kid on a sugar high” because the phrase so perfectly describes Miyavi’s energy. Miyavi also has a lot of fantastic quotes in the article that make me just want to hug him. I love him so much. ♥ (I know that I say I love everyone but really, I love Miyavi.) For this reason, I cannot leave you non-Miyavi-fangirls without some links. It is my duty to spread the Miyavi greatness as much as I can.

Warning: If you’ve never seen Miyavi before or if you’ve never seen anyone who dresses similar to him, you might be a little bit shocked at his style at first. (Style as in what he looks like, not his music. Although you might be surprised by that too.) I personally think it’s awesome but some people are a little turned off by it. Please, don’t judge him on that. If you listen to his music and don’t like it, that’s fine but at least give him a chance. That’s the least you could do for this lovely tattoo-covered man. XD

Random Stuff
It’s Miyavi’s birthday! So he talks to himself/the camera! Seriously, if there’s only one video you ever watch with Miyavi in it, make it this one. I cannot explain my love for him but maybe this video can.
Miyavi kisses Kai I just found this but it’s really cute. Miyavi loves kissing people. 😀 I don’t listen to the GazettE, but Kai and Miyavi are so cute. And if you’re going to be a Miyavi fan, you need to see Miyavi’s hair in this.
Miyavi getting distracted on Hey Hey Hey! It’s on Dailymotion ’cause I couldn’t find it anywhere on YT. Anyways, Miyavi gets distracted pretty easily and Downtown makes fun of him for it. It’s funny. XD There aren’t any subs but it’s pretty easy to figure out. The most important part is him being distracted. 😛
More Miyavi craziness LOL, he really is absolutely hilarious. XD
Spazz moments …did I mention that he’s absolutely insane as well? Well yeah, he is. In the best way possible, of course. 😀

Enjoy the Miyavi love!
