Miyavi

[Jou Sama]

MAL, that was a good interpretation!


I love everything that's been said. You guys are really coming up with good stuff! Remember, there's no right or wrong when it comes to interpretations. It's all about what you believe =)

It'd be cool if Miyavi came out w/ a poetry book. It'd definately sell. We should bring up the idea to him BWAHAHA~

miyavi songs

hey im new here n i want to ask does any one have miyavi's songs? if u do, please send them to me or tell me how to find it. thz, (in the place i live, i cant find miyavi songs)

 

[Jou Sama]

Unfortunately Keyterms, this is not a forum for requesting downloads. Please look elsewhere.

Oh by the way Dani, I've seen about five different versions to the KIMINEGA translation. All the same idea, just differently put. Meh.

Yeah, so that "DEBBIE" shirt Miyavi was wearing in his latest comment... it really says Debbie. It's a shirt from Hot Topic. That doesn't really surprise me though, he was here for four months after all. We all know he had fun in VS, why not Hot Topic too? XD;

[FreakyD]

yeah we are not a download requesting forum, sorry....

well, my version had stuff like

"Just what am I lifting, I wonder?
Just what couldn't I lift, I wonder?
Although ever since then I've tried questioning myself,
No matter how many times the door to my heart is knocked on
Even if deep inside my chest my heartstrings are pulled out to look at"

and

"It's simply that, I have always loved you.
That's all, although it's just that,
that was all that was in me.
And even now, I love you unchangingly."

i liked that part more then rens version cuz it sounds extra cute <3
hehe

umm....
that shirt is cool! i have no clue about this brand but it looks cool! hrhr

WHY WAS THIS THREAD MOVED OUT OF THE JAPANESE MUSIC SECTION ??!?!

That was a really poor translation you had Dani XD!!
I have a feeling that Ren got that translation from Masa Karasu. There was another translation I had found a while ago that I still love better... <3 Just the way things are worded, I enjoy it more.
That's why I hate translations really. They all get the same message across, but things like syntax and diction get lost. It's no longer Miyavi's (or any other author's) originality, it's the translator's originality.

><

WHY WAS THIS THREAD MOVED OUT OF THE JAPANESE MUSIC SECTION ??!?!

I guess I am having my monthly moment today

 

[FreakyD]

Haha, it's alright. You're forgiven... this time...

Okay, so here's another twist. Now that we have an idea of KIMINEGA's meaning, what about it's PV? Having it during the night time makes sense with the "star" thing and all, BUT THE ANIMAL MASKS?! Why??? That just makes no sense to me XD;;

 

[Broken Rose Ren]

Yes, Dutch Baka...you are forgiven this time...just don't let it happen again. ha.

See...I made this rule not to intepret Japanese music videos because that causes headaces. KIMINEGA is no different, I got the stars...but the animal heads made me go what. Maybe they are there so the song can come off like a story. You know like how children stories uses animals for story interpretion. I dunno...I'm shutting up.

*Goes back to fixing Ipod*

Btw, sorry I haven't been on chat lately. I'll be there this friday <--- no school.

animal masks? *confusion*
*goes to watch video*

oh.......
wow... TO BE HONEST *cough* i never payed attention to the guys in the background *cough* i just stared at miyavi %///D

i wonder what on earth the masks were good for >___>
and the old dude just looked nasty >____>
but meevs in PJs *yaaay* \^o^/

when miyavi and the old dude looked both through the binoculars... it kinda reminded me of "dear my friend" we both look at the same sky.... *sigh*
that remindes me that i still havent watched all the miyavi PVs >____>
*does so now*

and because im a nice person:
kimi ni negai wo piccus~

[Jou Sama]

Yeah I was wondering if it was suppose to be some type of child story too. I was also curious if it's suppose to be portraying that... he's in a dream-like state? Or.. something? I don't know. I don't analyze videos. Tis not me forte~ XD!!

Never noticed the animals in the background >>... HOW?! Especially the scary giraffe .__________________.;;
I was certain I would have nightmares about that giraffe after watching the video.

Haven't seen all the Meevs PVs? You should've poked me for them XD!
And thank you for the pictures, even if those contacts annoy the crap outta me.

... I did notice them . And the masks in that video... ; I'm thinking it was random Miyavi crack?

I have a picture with Meevs and the band in animal masks where they show them clearly. It's supposed to be 'somewhere' in my Miyavi pics folder...

D: But I will 'try' to look for it!

~~

And yaay! Miyavi on Hot Topic... That means we have more of a chance to get stuff he has!

 

[Reira]

Hmmm.. i thought we dun have to be too rationale interpreting miyavi's lyrics since we can feel his emotions from his voice...

Every song he sang is so honest and arty...

Just my two cents' worth...

 

[Harinezumi]

Hy dears, I'm just back in France and totally exaust, no sleep since 24 hours, so I'll not read, sorry;
I didn't seen Miyavi in Japan, but I bought all his Cd's and with one there is a great poster!!!!!
And I bought many mag with photots of Miyavi, they're great, amazing..........
I'll write all my trip in japan on my site I think, it will be easier. And I'll scan the pics!!!!! not all I think, there is soooooo many, but a lot!!!!

 

[MiaCarlax]

I dont really understand the animals part, maybe its cause they were kids when they made all these plans?

random animals may make it abit dream like too yer?

I think the reason that theres and old man in like the same setting as miyavi, wearing the same clothes kind of shows that hes looking up at the sky for them
like he always will
cause they will always be a part of him and he will always think of them kind of thing?
if you guys understand lol

xx

 

[Jou Sama]

The "adult" entry Miyavi wrote is about the "Coming of Age" ceremony the Japanese have around New Years~ It's weird to think I'm not of age over in Japan ><~
Their legal age in Japan is 20 =\~

The problem w/ emotions in a voice... they can betray the real message~ He could be singing about a yellow balloon flying off into the sky (haha DBSK reference XD, and be devastated about it~ So he'd sing in devastation, which would convey a different interpretation~ You should always analyze lyrics, no matter how much emotion is put into a song~

I completely forgot to mention the old man in the KIMINEGA video!~ I was wondering if it's suppose to be him like... 70 years from now (KIK!~) and that even in his old age, he'll still be wishing on that star?~

I dunno .______________.~


MARIE'S HOME!!~ YAY!!!!~
^_____________________________^~

I never got your postcard TToTT~ Don't you love me ; ;?~
I can't wait to read about your stay in Japan though =3~
<3~

 

[Jou Sama]

The legal drinking age in Japan is 20~ The legal EVERYTHING over there is 20! XD~

Actually, the language barrier doesn't make a difference for me~ Music is said to be the "Universal language" and I wholeheartedly agree~ You don't need to know the words of the song to understand the emotion~ My point is, the emotion can be different from the message~ Hence analyzing lyrics~
It's all very simple really~

An issue with Miyavi though... His older songs really don't have much "emotion" to them~ Galyuu and Gagaku are just so strange XD;~
I mean seriously now... I would love for you to tell me the meaning to Tariraritarara just by listening to the "emotion" in his voice KIK~

 

[screaming_apples.]

He's cool.

☝ I like miyavi alot. His music is cool, but he is a bit full of himself.

Miyavi's stage act is very full of himself yes, but Miyavi as a person is actually very shy and reserved~

 

[Seshka]

I HAVE FOUND THE PIC! =D The one I forgot to mention was the kitty!

Oooh! Shiny ball! =O Me likes the shiny <3

 

[Harinezumi]

Year, cute pic. My friend just bought this album!!!
For the age they're really strict, but maybe if you not seem so young it will be ok.
So now, pic spam!!!
[/IMG]

And more pics:

Enjoye

 

[Amaya]

OWwwhh,, yeah the dokuso pic are great!! Pink realy suits him! ^^

 

[Dreamweaver]

The first thing I did was hook up my computer and watch that sad w-inds video *le sigh* I don't have internet yet in my room, so I'm using the computer lab at the library on campus.~
Anyway, I personally like the animals in kiminega... I found the whole thing very creative... and the old man makes me think of jesus =D For some reason when I first saw that video it reminded me of Smashing Pumpkins "Tonight, Tonight" video~

 

[Jou Sama]

The animals were a nice touch, but like I said... they scared me .___. ~
Big Sis, those pictures are so nice @.@!~ We haven't had a decent pic spam in this place for so long!~ We should really start those back up again kik~

I'm glad you found time to post Shannon =D~ I'm sure you're really busy~
I got your text, btw ^^~ I might just start texting you random nonsense to make you to get the internet working faster XD!~

 

[Seshka]

It's true, that guy in Kiminega kinda looks like Jesus! =O

But I so said "OMG JESUS" in the Itoshii Hito PV xP Because HE FLOATS! And the BABY! ZOMGWTF KURAKU!
