Miyavi

Heard of them, yeah.

No real idea who they are.

I am what many people call an ignorant bastard. :)

well, japanese are different...bu I don´t see anything wrong with the picture. Maybe only our twisted minds see something dirty and filthy behind nothing else than aestethics and fashion.
And to the feminine thing- you know, as history evolves, opinions on what is feminine and masculine changes...men used to have long hair, wore make-up and jewelry in the past - the greeks, the barock and so on, I could list lot of examples. Or women- in my country nobody wondered 20 years ago, when a women didn´t have shaved legs or underarms- today only older women don´t shave.
so, it´s just how open we are to accept something new, what is disturbing on the first sight to us.
You know, visual isn´t just about make-up and crossdressing, the lyrics of the songs aren´t only about love and emo, they have epic, they have power-.
Just let it be for today and try to digest everything step by step.
By the way- there are some VKbands, that are all-girls: like Danger gang, Exist Trace :D
maybe you could start with them
 
I am scared of looking those bands up, in case they all look like men.

I have met quite a few transvestites and and transsexuals in my life. Just go down Oxford Street in Sydney ( Australia, if you're wondering :) ) at Friday or Saturday night and you know exactly what I mean.

I realize back then men did do what would now look like feminine things, but even then they made clear distinctions between male and female dress codes.

Right now I feel like an 80-year-old when I look at some of the stuff going on in the world. :)

haha..but you know, that´ s the curse of generations...every generations cries where the world is heading to and what will happen...and that the next generation will be damned for it´s behaviour...it´s just like this.
And don´t mix fashion with the way of living. Miyavi, for example, loves children more than any other artist I know and I am sure he wan´t to marry one day and have a regular family.
The world just goes further not caring about those who ca t keep the pace.
And to borderlines- I am sure you know, japanese society is more traditional than western one...but as in West, the line is thinner in the entertainment and worlds infiltrate each other creating an illusion and fancy dreams, where you can get easily lost. But don´t forget- everything is just a game.
 
@Remixer - I red it.. Well, it's ok if you don't like Asian women. It's your opinion and choice. :)
And if you want to ask anything about VK, just ask. ;)

Cheers for your understanding.

I will definitely get back to you if I have a question about VK. :)

Yeah, I completely understand that.

It all boils down to one's own morals and conceptions of life.

I try not to be prideful, but it passed down from my father. As such, I would never be able to pull something of that sort off, no matter for what reason.

Sure, loving children is nice. I love children as well, and may have overdone it a bit in the Thread about drugs.

But, I wouldn't get them to dress in latex clothing and sexy lingerie.

Somewhere in my brain, a part of me would die, if I ever did that.

well, everyone has some kind of inner boundaries...I can understand it. Even most of my friends would freak out, if I showed them pictures of Visual Kei. Even I had to get used to it...but as soon as you understand it more, you stop to bee afraid...welll, at least women (and gay men). I can understand there´s not so much attraction for a man, when he sees another man dressed up in skirts and made-up.
Maybe you could have started with the music without seeing images:D but the damage is done....joking...
And the father thing- everyone, as much as he wants to deny it- has things rooted deep inside of him, that he brought from home. That´s just like it. Parents and home- it´s our herritage. We can change it, bu we can´ t erase it. It´s alright.

@the pics...I am sooo fascinated with the little hole after the lipring...I can´t get enough looking at it!
I am weird T_T
 
AAH thanks so much Little.MIYAVI.Lover 😍 he is sooo gorgeous...
@olosta: don't worry i am very fascinated with it also... but i am even more fascinated with that lil birthmark on his lip, just on the cupid's bow... i want to kiss it :devilish:

Hahahahaha, I really am bad with the internet.

I guess my half-joking demeanour got you to misinterpret it a bit. :)

I'm not really scared of seeing it, it's just something I don't like to see.

I am not joking that once you've been to Oxford Street at the weekend, you will have seen most things that exist. :)

I like the pride I have in me. It makes me look like an arse even when I'm not trying to be.

If I understood it right, miyavi does Jrock?



Remixer
 
well..yes and no. he makes his own unique style. He played in a band before, they made Jrock- visual kei. Then he went independent ans a solo artist- his first two albums were indie rock, the next rock, and the album after that and after that more pop. Last year´s album was a crossing btw pop, hip-hop, rap and rock, and the last album was eletctronic- remixes of his older works. He changes every year and is still searching...he likes to combine genres and eliminate boundaries between them.
He changes his appearance as well- maybe you have noticed the different hairstyles he had, or that he took out his trademark lip- nose and eyebrow ring.
He surprises us every day with something new.
that´s why I said- he is like a chameleon.
Well, and he is hyperactive
 
yup. he started as a more traditional VK star, but now I would describe his musical style as closer to hip-hop and r&b in some ways... he's also mocked marilyn manson and continues to do so XD
 
Interesting. :)

Unfortunately, Rock in general is something I don't like.

Wouldn't mind listening to a few of his electronic songs/remixes, though. If they are good. :)

OMG OMG OMG ready for what???????? *curious*
i'd sent him a comment today, actually, i wonder if he'd read it... prolly not but still...

Hm, personally i didnt like the remixes but I am on a general basis very much against electronica and cyber... to me its like, video killed the rock star and now a snotty nosed teenager and a hot girl with minimal talent and a short skirt killed the musician... but well, if you like that kind of stuff, good luck with that. Sugizo's songs off Myspace is about as electronic as i go... i wanted to kill myself during DJ Sosen's set at the Blood gig... but if you like it, well, it's there, and sorry if i offended.
 
Nice opinion you got going there.

Nah, I'm not offended.

Just don't expect me to be nice. I will keep myself from giving my thoughts on punk music, though.

Not that you would care, whether I am or not. :)

Cheers for the tip regardless.



Remixer
 
You might want to listen to Sugizo if you like electronic... even I liked it. He used to be with Luna Sea, but that's classic VK right there... he and MYV collaborated on a song, and they are in the superband SKIN together with Gackt and Yoshiki (you might like Gackt too, check out Sayonara and Redemption)...
 
Hahahaha. Believe me, if I came into this Thread with any intention other than sheer curiosity, I would easily have made a fool out of you.

I'm trying to not get into something stupid, but your last comment really was unnecessary.



Remixer
 
Glad that myvs seems like his tooth ache is better now! 😌
Otherwise about his electronic music, well, normally, I love electronic music, I actually made some my self, the one on my own MySpace Profile for example is something I have composed my self in E-Jay and that is electronic.
But myvs normal style & his new electronic style, well, I'm not sure it's match made in heaven ... but I have two of them on my cell phone !
Wouldn't mind listening to a few of his electronic songs/remixes, though. If they are good. :)
