Also does anyone remember maya chan Miyavi's old guitarist? Well apparently he is in a new band with Pierrot's Aiji. They are in a band called Lovely Mococchang ::: LM.C Official Website :::

awww you mean maya-tan?? He was so cute hehehe. Miyavi always made fun of him and abused him (in a friendly funny way hehe). Well now he has his own band so yay for him! He looks very different though...

Miyavi's half korean?? *________________*

Yaaaaaaaaazzzzzz!!!! xDDDDD

I knew it!!~~That's so cool!!!

By why does it seem like they make a big deal out of it like if he's soooo different from the other Japanese *_______*

Thank you thank you thank you for the trans!!! x)

I've heard that Miyavi rumor going around FOREVER, so I'm glad it's been cleared up. I dunno, though, I never really cared that much; maybe it's because we Americans are a bunch of mutts, so mixed races aren't anything remarkable to me. ☝ Thanks a lot for the translation, it was so cute. "So, Miyavi, you were born in Hyogo?" "We're not talking about that right now. I'm Korean, yay!"
Aww, maya-tan is looking so good these days, as well as Aiji. *_* Yum. I want to eat their hair, it's so pretty.

the Japanese , well some of them dont like Koreans and foreigners, they sometimes have signs in restaurant windows saying "no foreigners" and they still dont like (or want to have anything to do with) people of Korean origin, even if theyre Japanese for many generations back down the line. Miyavi appears to not care about his heritage and such and just says somethiing about it being the music stuff that counts, not the "being part Korean" or whatever. and i think he's right. it really doesnt make a difference, about what mix you have in you, its just some people, most likely to be the very pure family lines and such are stubborn and refuse to change. anyways. im not sure how right i am, but i read about this sorta thing in a book i have!

so...
correct me if im wrong but thats something along the line of it XDD
hope it helps

let's say 0,0001 % of all the restaurants in Japan, if it isn't less than that.

about Koreans in Japan, here is a small part quoted from wiki:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zainichi_Korean

Zainichi(ﾂ催昶?愿ｺ, Resident Japan) refers to Korean nationals residing in Japan. Most of them are second-, third-, or fourth-generation Koreans who are not Japanese citizens, forced to relocate to or immigrated to Japan during Japan's occupation of Korea, while others later entered Japan in order to escape the Korean War. Japan revoked their Japanese citizenship after the signing of San Francisco Peace treaty which officially ended the Japanese annexation of Korea, and their country of origin, Korea, no longer existed when South Korea and North Korea became separate states. Zainichi communities are split based upon affiliation with North or South Korea (Chongryon and Mindan). Many Koreans living in Japan use Japanese names to hide their origin, in order to avoid discriminatory treatment.

@_@ I never knew he was Korean... Some Miyavi fan I am...

Chicho · 25 Aug 2006

yo!
got a stupide question, now that we know that miyavi is half Korean: north or south Korea?

Shizuka48 · 25 Aug 2006

Chicho - it's VERY interesting question

Davey · 25 Aug 2006

In an interview for an issue of Rock And Read magazine, Miyavi states he's mixed, that his grandparents on his father's side are from Jejudo, Korea, and that his father's real last name is Lee (李家).

Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, or Jeju Province (Jeju-do) for short, is the only special self-governing province of South Korea, situated on, and coterminous with, the country's largest island. Jeju-do lies in the Korea Strait, southwest of Jeollanam-do Province, of which it was a part before it became a separate province in 1946. Its capital is Jeju City.

This is the information that you searched for!

d'yAwNiE · 25 Aug 2006

i didnt know that miyavi is half korean!! omg!

Chicho · 25 Aug 2006

so if i understood corectly Miyavi is half south Korean?

Precious4e · 25 Aug 2006

I checked out Miyavi on Wikipedia and it said:

Miyavi's Korean name is Lee Ki Ah.

I guess things are really out in the open about this now.

Bighug4miyavi^-^ · 26 Aug 2006

O____o Why Would They Put That One The Internet??? It's His Privacy

saki_hime · 26 Aug 2006

He openly admitted that he was half Korean...so I guess that's what Miyavi wants us to know that his last name is Lee.

I wonder if he's listed in the phonebook as Lee Ki Ah... Probably not ^^;

I'm not even entirely sure that you can trust that it's this real name. I mean, he's kept his name as a secret for this long, so why does it get out now?

Another Aoi Fan · 26 Aug 2006

@saki-Hime-I agree. No.. I'm pretty sure thats not his real name. If it is, the person who told everyone aught to be ashamed. *frowns*

@Chicho-Yes..

Poor Miyavi. Poor Miyavi's privacy.. so rude people.

Shizuka48 · 26 Aug 2006

Can someone tell me bext fansites with info about Miyavi please? And more than one would be great

Davey · 26 Aug 2006

What's wrong with Miyavi having Korean blood, privacy? He is famous! is this about the size of his .... no it's about he got Korean blood so what...

well he's spent so long, keeping a lot of stuff private, so its just more of a shock that he's telling us. theres absolutly nothing wrong with having Korean blood. and personally, i think he's still the same Miyavi as before (obviously) and it doesnt change my view of him one bit. (that last bit didnt make sense gomen >_<)

Nana007 · 27 Aug 2006

Lee Ki Ah might be his Korean name, but I doubt thats the name he uses. Most Koreans take up Japanese names so to avoid discrimination. So he probaly has a Japanese name.

Well.. yeah. Its funny how famous he is. I would except someone to find out his real name by now. Thats good.

Azurith · 27 Aug 2006

>o< Omg I haven't been here in a while D:
I'm so happy, my friend bought me MYV POPS >_< !!!

If Lee Ki Ah is his real name, then the person who said that should be ashamed D: It totally disrespectz his privacy >o<

Thirteen · 28 Aug 2006

yeah, it's funny how people are like "no his name is blah blah blah.." and spreading rumors of his name. I could slightly tell he was korean, due to height and structure
