Miyavi - HE is a Japanese rock star


For L



This is a lot of trash talk from people who probably,no, definately aren't a fraction as talented as he is. You look like an ass when you base someones entire career off one photo and video. Boy George who was only famous for one song and the way he looked wasn't half as good as Miyavi. Dlisted? He shouldn't even be on this site!He's not only hugely famous in Japan but in Europe and all of his concerts in the U.S and Brazil where sold out. He changes his look and style frequently and this is a more recent one, he looked very much like a man and normal by your standards so for those of you saying he relies on his look for popularity, think again. About copying Weezer,you guys also act like there's no artist who has ever taken a melody from a old song and has incorporated it into their own song.
Seems like all you people are doing is repeating each other. Not to mention he's good to his fans, even if you say "he's just faking it to look good" At least he makes them feel appreciated which is more than I could say for most celebrities who don't and all they do is complain about what a hassle it is when a fan of theirs,you know, tries to talk to the person they're a fan of. Go listen to you sex exploiting pop/hiphop artist, idiotic rappers, oh so emo boy bands, incoherent metalhead screamo trash, and your 10 a penny garage type bands, better yet do what other morons are doing and go with the latest fad and support someone like Jeffree Star or Soulja Boy who only has enough skill to make a song with the same 5 words sang in repetition.

By the way, Miyavi is hot but for not reason should he ever be called a slut.

I saw her profile on millionaire&celeb dating site ----"AffluentBachelors.com" ----last week. It is said she is dating young billionaire on that site.

It is so thoughtful that the word music is underlined in pink and goes to a site that will define it for us! D-listed is simply tireless in its dedication to our further education.

Ah yes Free publicity for him (yes it's guy...use wikipedia)

I'd hit it

The sad part is they didn't even post a good song by him...and I don't think Miyavi knows who Boy George is

anyway if you want to judge why not watch his best works (in my opinion...there are more but I don't feel like searching for you)

Comparing Mana to Miyavi is like comparing apple to oranges...

that video wasn't so good but i've heard some of his other stuff which can be a lot better. he changes his type of sound frequently. he's popularized for being a guitar virtuoso, but you can't really tell from his later stuff, since i think people these days are done with the guitar solo. though in my heart, i'd love to hear slash or joe perry or whoever wail all day. ;)

gah i miss stadium anthems with their multiple neverending guitar solos, with the cigarette lighters waving in unison and the smell of pot and burning hair wafting throughout an overcrowded venue. i really do miss it.

The video is mesmerizing crap. And if you are a 14 year old from anywhere between Atlanta and Tokyo and you happen to see it, you might think he's cool enough to spend some money on the music which is what "they" are after.

So what?

But that Miasma or whatever his name is clearly is a talented musician and loves his instrument. When I see a musician who loves what he is doing, I am with him/her. (I'm not talking about the vid here now, I followed a link and saw some of his other stuff). On the other hand, I like him much better when he plays and keeps his mouth shut.

And that wart thing on his mouth is distracting.

Usero, you're absolutely right. Everyone has their own opinion. My opinion happens to be that the video was an unmitigated piece of crap. But that's just me.

Every shitass town in America has 10 kids who can play better than he can. Nashville, Austin, NY, and LA have many thousands.

You're kidding or did someone actually say that? BTW if I'm not online as much, it means I've taken a break from the industry. You can probably find me slumped over a bowl-sized margie.

I am not American but I could not get past more than 60 secs of this talentless butcher. Stop looking at people's nationality and just reflect on society as a whole, you A hole. This is an American run site and is better than the crap the UK puts out. This site can only happen in America.

No, he sucks. I lived in Japan and speak Japanese. When I lived there, I knew some very good pro musicians and lyricists and a preeminent concert fashion designer. This guy's sound and even his look are tired and derivative.

Oh. My. God... this dude is out of control. I didn't even think an acoustic could sound like that!

I don't care what he looks like... I'm sold.

Miyavi recreates himself more often then madonna, before she was an old prude.
You should look up more videos before you bash him based on this one. I Mean, every artist has at least one bad, bad flop.
Think hard candy, or blackout.

lessteethmoretits's picture

What a bunch of douche bags. Forming opinions based on one pic and one video.

I admit Miyavi is ultra eccentric and a lil feminine.I can see how some people might be a bit put off by it but COME ON! He's an incredibly talented guitar player and composer. To think all of his music will be just like that video is just foolish. He's so diverse its ridiculous. Maybe if some of you had an actual respect for music and an open enough mind, you might have found that out for yourself.

All I see is ignorance. Do yourself a favor and take a music theory class sometime. Unless of course, your hang-up is his appearance. Then that just makes you laughable. You think he really looks and dresses like that everyday? Ha!

I lived in Tokyo for a short time during a study abroad trip. I went to a rock show one night. It was pretty normal until a Visual Kei (a style similar to Miyavi's) band came on. All the horny douches in our group kept saying things like how they were sexy and how they'd hit those chicks. I laughed my ass off when they found out they were dudes. Of course, it would have been funnier if they found out at about 3rd base.

MIYAVI IS THE FUCKING ROCK STAR

I'm at work and the computer here is terrible so I can't tell... is that some kind of hair or a fungus growing on the side of his chin (in the video)????

The Japanese loves anything that has a white-Euroepean face or close to it.

Cool

looks like xtina, sings like gwen stefani

I LOVE MIYAVI!! he played two shows in Los Angeles a couple weeks ago. really charming guy in interviews and stuff! this is definitely not his best song, should of have used a different video. hehhee, but still enjoyed it.

At first glance, this looked like Christina Aguilera...then I opened up the vid and wondered when she started idolizing Boy George.

Isn't "Japanese Rock Star" an oxymoron?
