uhm...what happened? I think i missed this part of his life...mollestthyguitarists, can you explain short? (sorry, I sometimes am really slow at understanding things and there its just so much I dont know about him..)
kk wat happened was, he came to tokyo to become a rock star after a friend died, it says so on wikipedia and on his myspace. look at lyrics to requiem (courtesy of google)
Will your eyes never open again?
You still look half asleep
Why didn't you say anything?
You're not alone
If only I'd heard your scream
Maybe we'd be able to go back to how things were
If everything is a dream
Then hurry and open your eyes
The pouring rain
Is trying to make me forget everything
If only I'd heard your scream
If only I'd heard your scream
If only I'd heard your scream
Maybe we'd be able to go back to how things were
If everything is a dream
Then hurry and open your eyes
Has this requiem reached you
My beloved?
ANd the lyrics to Kimi Ni Negai Wo (a wish upon you)
Even in the dream of that fading day,
even the dusty figure of the future,
because you were always there looking on
even on the most fragile days
even on the road which only detours
I'm getting over it, and am able to exist here even now.
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
all that will come out will only be pleasant memories of fun..
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.
There was a day when in the pretty starry night sky
we lined up to make our wishes
although those wishes have already been forgotten
it would be good if this moment could continue
and we remembered only all the things we thought about.
Now if you think about it, making that wish was good wasn't it?
However, it seems that God isn't here.
At the moment you became a star, I made a vow.
I do not need a God.
You over there, if only you had stayed.
Even today, the town without you
was as its usual rushing, restless self.
It was quite like doing nothing, coming to an end.
With the months and years that trot past
and in the middle of the softly moving seasons,
suddenly I think of going to look up at the night sky.
And then, I quietly made a wish.
A wish upon you who became a star.
ツ「It's alright now, because I can stand by myselfツ」"
But then hey, it's because I'm not alone right?
That's right, I'm living your share too.
You also, have always been living inside me.
That's why, again just like that time
Always be by my side to watch over me
When I wish upon you
This was the first Miyavi song I'd heard, and I played it for my bff and we've been MYV fans forever since... anyway, i guess he and his friend dreamed of being rock stars together and then the friend died and Miyavi left to Tokyo and became a rockstar... i know i would if my bff died, and she and i have our own lil band thing and i know if she died, these are the songs i'd be doing covers of... anyway dunno how to explain it but i get the feeling that;s wat the songs are about... i may b wrong but this is just my pov...
