Miyavi

Okay, you lucky Londoners. Miyavi is coming to rock your fair city on June 25th at the Astoria, and there are still tickets available. Don't say you weren't told.

Wandered over from Isiscolo's music post and have been listening to Miyavi. (What a Wonderful World at the moment) Interesting without a doubt. His solo guitar intro to Selfish Love tho? absolutely awesome. Reminded me of one of my guitar heros Michael Hedges (RIP) in the way they use the entire instrument.

Blues Rock isn't necessarily my favorite genre. I tend towards the more melodic and harmonic. But a kick ass guitarist? oh yeah. My 2 ex husbands are both musicians. and both of my sons are too.

Cute little bastards! :) both... my sons AND Miyavi :)

I like all kinds of music...a lot!... and just fell hard into J-Rock about 6 months ago. It's like finding another country in the world that you've never known. I found Miyavi because he's in a new supergroup of Japanese megastars, S.K.I.N., which includes Yoshiki (from X Japan), Gackt (from Malice Mizer and from the bedrooms of millions of Japanese girls), and Sugizo (from Luna Sea).

These two songs are a little out of the ordinary for Miyavi - he usually plays a Japanese version of hip-hop, only more melodic, I've found. Some ballads, too - J-rockers aren't afraid to show their emo side.

If you need guidance on box.net and such, give me a holler. I use them a lot.

My youngest son's partner is Asian (Hmong) and is crazy about all things Japanese. When I told her that I'd just heard Miyavi she knew ALL about him and told me how sad she'd been when she missed his concert... because she and my son were at The Pillows concert instead.

When I get back I'll have to hook you up to her Vox account where she's all fangirly about those hot little Jboys =)

My 1st reaction? is to tell you how very sorry I am =)

But that's just my knee jerk reaction. I've sworn off musicians!! =)
