As a quick afterthought of UC Berkeley:
Some facts...
It's the #1 public university in the U.S., and the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Institute for Higher Education ranked Berkeley the 4th top University in the World.
As part of the UC system, it has an Education Abroad Program, which has a number of options to Japan, and their japanese language classes kick uber-*** (or so I've heard).
And now, something totally Miyavi-related (don't worry, I wouldn't be that rude!)
His english has gotten better (for example... have you TRIED singing the english line in 'Girls Be Ambitious'???? DO it!! I DARE YOU!!!) and I think his voice has gotten better as well. (compare the two versions of itoshii hito... he's perfected the louder higher notes!!)
Speaking of Itoshii Hito, I think that the first one is more depressing for me (Woot for emo!) and the newer one is more... bittersweet? Maybe it's cuz it's got the pop twist to it. And for some reason, the PV for Kimi Ni Negai Wo reminded me of Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight" (this sentence TOTALLY doesn't belong in this paragraph)
I think one of my favorite points on the JAMe Interview (aside from touring in the U.S. of course) is that he's a fan of Ani Difranco!! SCORE!!!!!!! XD I always told myself, if I was to ever meet him in person, that would be the one artist I would introduce him to (the music, not the artist herself, lol.. I wish). Now I must find other things to subject him to shall the opportunity ever arise...
Okay, that's my uber-long post (my first, last and ONLY one of this magnitude. O_O) Sorry if it was overwhelming!! I hope I don't get in trouble...
