Miyavi

[molestthyguitarists]

true, but remember... we can't touch him still... he's supposed to be far away... very far... *has to use binoculars to look at miyavi*

 

[longtailedmonkey]

haha.... yea... one day I'll meet him. One day.

The soundwaves from his fingers beating onto the guitar keep me going. Stay up, above the water, until that sunshine hand comes and I'll climb out to the world. Then, I'll meet him.

Now, I need to study!!!!!!! Hahahha.... study... it's not something bad. it's very interesting, considering all the answers are given and all I have to do is to keep repeating the work.

 

[olosta]

haha.... yea... one day I'll meet him. One day.

Well,thats exactly what I am saying to myself..but realizing, it won´t happen.
But it´s nice to be so young and have nice dreams.
Dreams are what are pushing us forward, at least.
I like your optimism, honestly.

UH??? hide had 2 solo albums to his name, actually, and died while working on the third one. the song "Pink Spider" went to the top of the charts. Give it a listen, it is quite excellent.

Oh, I just listened to "Pink Spider" and I just got "chills" ... don't misunderstand me, I know Hide was a genius, no doubt!
I can always tell who is and who aren't, or wheren't, but sometimes I just feel the urge to criticize ... and maybe I'm mostly angry at him for dyeing on us, he had so much still to do, so much more to give *sniffs*

i hope your hair grows out fast!!

Don't worry, fortunately I have loads of hair, a stages cut very very thick blond hair, in fact, you can't even see that a piece is missing ...

Gosh Crytallize! PITY YOU!! Your hair... well, you could keep it as a memorabilia, other than the ticket. hahahha... as physical proof of your connection with Aijin. HE SERIOUSLY LOOKED INTO YOUR EYES?!!!!!!!! gosh... kyaaaaaaaness....... meow...

Yes, absolutely, seriously, as I've said before, I'm not a bragging type, and I don't make up stuff ... if I say it was like it, then it was.

But I don't need some dumb bimbos gum to remember it by, actually, it disgraces it. It was real, warm, cosy, right and true ...

the first time i heard pink spider, my best friend had stuck an earphone in my ear, and i thought wow, this guy's great, sounds so familiar, wonder when the next cd is coming out. so i ask her, who is this? and she was like, i'm not telling you, you'll think i'm creepy. i said, i already do, so who is it? i tried to guess, but it wasn't miyavi's voice ... i had to mention X just in case, and she was like, close, very close. and then i had to start crying.
i'm not angry at hide for dying, on some level he might have wanted to. but i don't believe it was a suicide. he didn't mean to leave us with three tracks of an unfinished album, an unfulfilled promice of a band with Yoshiki, and a bath towel around his neck. if he were REALLY going to kill himself, i think he would have come up with a better way to do it. besides if you'd seen the last interview he'd done, theres no way that guy was suicidal. not to mention how the tracks were placed on the cd. and you know, a thousand other reasons.
lately i feel like i've been haunted by hide, actually. i can't stop hearing the song, not even in my sleep, not even when i'm listening to other music. on friday, my entire body hurt so much, i had to go back to bed halfway through the day, and i just slept for two and a half days straight and dreamt of nothing but the song... hide... sigh...
anyway, back to miyavi. i'll take my hide theories to a different thread... tho i think i want to buy a cool cowboy hat first.

 

[olosta]

hm..You know, I just noticed something on Miyavi..ok, it maybe wrong, but it looks like me, like he sometimes tries to..well.. not copy, but rather make a reference to hide, like here:


@longtailedmonkey, welcome to our thread ( and don´t let my pessimism get you...)

I can see what you mean, specially about posting stuff on different threads, when you speaking about different things/people.
But then again, I feel I know you guys on this thead lots better than some other peope on other threads, though I know people
on the the Alice Nine thread also, specially "Dove" who is a lovely helpful person.

And it's hard to tell where to draw the boundry, what is or isn't Miyavi related, I think, actually I'm sure Miyavi has been influensed by Hide a lot,
and takes after him also, the style and all, just like Olosta says.

I'm also sorry that you feel so deeply for Hide that you almost get sick because of it...

My biggest problem is that I almsot feel like I'm cheating on my feelings for Myvs, now with this thing about Aiji ...
... I also don't know where to draw the line, what is important, what is not, or does it even matter, at all ?
... or what do I want to think, or believe? ... it's never easy *sigh* ...

Also to draw the line between RL and famous guys, the thing with Cross is that we are just good friends right now, how ever, he will always be close to my heart ... never the less...
And the thing with Ukyo, well, he seemed to gotten cold feet, or something like it ...
... how ever I have started to get messages from another Japanese guy who lives in England, but he mostly thinks I'm weird because I like J-Rock,
or at least he is very surprised. Have anyone of you ever encountered this phenomena, that you get doubted because you like J-Rock and/or J-rock guys ?

 

[382addict]

his new blog.

"Thanks for always supporting me.
I've been thinking about how to deal with my fans.

To be happy together in the future.

MYV 382 from the heart"


somehow that makes me thoughtful...
he must be really struggeling a lot and be under so much pressure *sigh*

 

[melly_chan]

absolutely right!!
He thinks about "how to deal" with his fans.
I mean sure he loves us, but this still sounds a bit desperated for me.
he really needs a distance from us!
I guess the pressure which hangs on him is very big and he can´t handle it very good.
Poor miya

 

[olosta]

yep, and now Valentine´s day is approaching and poor Miyavi will be showered with all the love mails, projects and letters from the fans..
and as you sad, crys, it´s hard to draw a line btw RL and IRL (or btw reality and fantasy), especially when someone is so open and close with fans like miyavi..
and the thing with Jrockers- maybe more generally, I was often thought weird, because even before I know Jrock, I liked skinny and slim guys, not the muscled and macho and hairy ones and everyone looked just like I was an idiot, when I said I liked for example Jonathan Brandis, or that I thought Johny Depp in Edward the Scissorhand is totally hot and sexy (other thought him creepy there)
then discovered Jrock and guys in stockings and I was doomed...

 

[melly_chan]

yes they are so special hot!! In my opinion those guys are the hottest on earth!
Well but sticking to miyavi again... he opened his mind to us fans and he always keeps a very close contact. but since the world tour was over, he seems so serious and I guess he changed. Maybe not in a negative way but we all could read such things very often, where we ask ourselves, if he needs a break from us.
Well i guess it is not easy and he does not want to disappoint someone.
The year has started and it is almost march. And yet nothing new from him. And all people beg him to come to their country. That must be the highest pressure ever. I would not woonder, if he would not tour this year.
Well just a small opinion..... though love him so much

 

[olosta]

I don´t think he will go on a big tour this year...that would be too much, it would exhaust him, and he was exhausted like hell last year..when I saw the comment from the 1. 12. 2008 (), it was a shock, he almost slept there and there was no enthusiasm...and I was very worried about him.
It hard, how to deal with the fans, how to keep the necessary distance but yet be close enough to reach them..If I just could say to him take a break, relax a little without annoying him, it would be great. But the concern of the fans IS the thing that annoys him (obviously, although he didn´t say so because he is too considerate)
I don´t know what to do an I am beginning to feel desperately and confused..
hm..do you think he ever stumbled upon this forum? (wow that would be a disaster in a certain way, considering what we wrote here,but on the other hand, we wrote some really nice things..I am making no sense, right:)

 

[melly_chan]

but i got what you mean here
It would be embarassing when he would read something like "I can see his balls" xDD

Well having a next world tour, would be a disaster! Well as you said he looks so tired and exhausted.
I wish I could tell him to rest and relax, like you wish to do!
We can´t do nothing but wait....

 

[olosta]

wait and not bombard him with stupid messages is the best we can do

 

[Tokyo girl <3]

Ooop, sorry, to both of you, I was in a hurry and was mistaken ...

@Tokyo girl <3 ... Well, myvs have figured out how to change the status and mode, and he is playing around with it ...

I actually thought he already knew that, it's sooooooo easy!



The look in Aijis eyes is worth 100 times more than the proof that I was there, I'm not a "bragging type! but I keep the ticket as a memory, as it's all I've got!

@Olosta, thought you would want to see... you liked Cross right?, heres a brand new pix he sent to me yesterday at Taggeds, he have such'a cute smile ! (bottom right!)

Haha, now when he figured how to do it, he'll change it every minute! xD

I was just kidding about bragging. And yeah, his looks is more valueable than tickets and pictures... ( ^ _ ^ )

Your boy is such a cutie!!!

Btw, I'm jelaous bcuz you saw him. xD

 

[Shippo]

lol

meev is using now his iphone for myspace!!
xD means we will see more posts from now on (is what I think)

he was really thinking about how to deal with us.




wish me luck with my japanese exam!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so nervous!!! >-<

 

[Tokyo girl <3]

I wish you luck! You can do it!!! Go, Shippo!!! *dance* *chearlead*

 

[382addict]

@olosta: he was sick too when he did that comment on youtube, he said that at some point that he felt kinda ill to this time.

@Shippo: good luck with your exam!

 

[Miyavi-Lover]

Hmm he could marry all of us at once X3 And I got my exams too soon. Only its not Japanese exams but just normal school exams :')

What are you girls planning on doing in the future?

~ For myself I wanna be a secretary and work at a international company. When im 18 I want to start study Japanese and when im ready I want to work for like a half year in Japan. And when I meet someone I love I wanna marry and have kids 8D. Im not planning to live in Japan but I really wanna go there for a while :3

 

[olosta]

nice...well I am already past that age..but I still don´t know what will I be, when I "grow up"...I want to visit Japan someday..and attend a visual kei concert..if there´ll be still some visual kei left, because it is decreasing T_T

 

[melly_chan]

Well I passed that age aswell.. xD
I want to go back to japan this year and maybe start to study again.
My wish for the future is to go to japan just to visit a big gazette concert!!!
Oh this is a dream!!

 

[molestthyguitarists]

well, i want to be a visual kei star in japan!!!!! *yah not very practical*
i just saw BLOOD last week... i was way up front and pretty much raped them all but i don't see it as if Miyavi is missing out on any attention from me just cause i spent the rest of the week telling all my friends about how awesome they were and how cute the lead singer was... i hope visual kei doesnt die out, but as long as peeps like Meevs and Dir en grey are keeping true to the visual kei definition of "Psychedelic Violence Crime of Visual Shock" then we are good to go!!! (Dir en grey not visual kei?? Look at a picture of that cute lil evil china doll that is Kyo, drenched in blood, sweat, semen, etc. Is this visually shocking?? Case closed.)
I am certain i would either live in japan or here in NYC. don't get me wrong, i love japan, but i love my good old brooklyn here too. its the only place where we could discuss the sale of rifles and shotguns at wal-mart and k-mart in history class. where else would the teacher state, "i am afraid it will be some time before automatic weapons are sold at wal-mart."
i know that i'd be making music no matter where i live, whether there is anyone who listens to it or not, and i don't give a **** about being famous or rich. i just wanna make music!!! and if i am good enough i might get famous or i might not. either way...

and miyavi was inspired by hide. a large number of modern jrockers were. for example, kaoru from diru lists hide's autograph as one of the three most important things in his life, alongside dir en grey and his fans. and die from the same band is rumored to sleep with a hide plushie on tour.

 

[olosta]

(Dir en grey not visual kei?? Look at a picture of that cute lil evil china doll that is Kyo, drenched in blood, sweat, semen, etc. Is this visually shocking?? Case closed.)
.

well i preffer a more-hair-on-the-head-less-hair-on-the-body visual kei...
but diru are still awesome (but I miss toshiya in the bitchy outfits he used to wear, man, he does have nice legs!)

and yes, visual is dying out, at least the original style, because visual is lot of makeup, nice hairdo, funny dresses and today you can´t see so much of it on the scene. Even Miyavi I wouldnt call strictly visual...he is undescriptable unique and original, but not exactly visual.
I miss the millenium style!

 

[molestthyguitarists]

when Heath from X cuts his hair, that is the official death of an era. Lets face it, it began to die when Yoshiki stopped dressing like a girl. He's still damn sexy tho He was always the man... even when he was wearing dresses and tiaras and more makeup than the girls... ah he was so pretty though, with all that golden hair. I loved IV too, but their old songs were so cute... hearing IV after Desperate Angel or Standing Sex is kind of like hearing them aknowledge the demise of their own creation.
i was talking about this the other day with a nirvana fan, a john lennon fan and a guy who thinks no good music has been made since the year 1989, and they said it was better in the beginning.

Well, you know, if we don't want it to die out, we have to make it ourselves. and if music we want to hear doesnt exist, we have to make it ourselves. we are the change we can be in this world or some crap like that, y'know??

I'm planning to finish my school, then go to secondary school - mathematical direction, then medical university and I'm going study Japanese. Then I will specialize and go live in Japan and work as a forenzic anthropolgyst! Isn't it just great?!
