As he wrote on O-re-sa-ma.com, he cut his hair and, at 4.22 AM, he took off his lip piercing too. He explained also why he took off his piercings: after Due' le Quartz disbanded, he needed something "visible" to persuade himself to go on alone. But now he doesn't need the piercings anymore, since during the last world tour he gained confidence and now he's able to think about his band without struggling.
I've translated this blog entry in Italian, but since I'm not so fluent in English and there are already so many skillful Japanese-English translators, I'm not translating it in English.
But I wanted to share the news ^^"
EDIT: I have to learn how to comment on news, I'm always adding news or translations (in the Italian communities) without commenting on them...
So, I agree with
sawaranaide and
vulgar_prince, Miyavi is always changing, but it's not his looks that writes his music. And if he decided to remove his piercings because he's more confident, it's only a good news.
But he'd been wearing them for so long that they was almost a part of his "natural" look. Also, he was always saying that they have a special meaning for him.
So I think it's quite a news and I'm sad I can't give it completely with a full translation. I wanted to hear other people's reactions. As for me, I'm not going to cry or write a mail to Miyavi asking to put again the piercing, but I really don't want to tell anyone how he should behave or feel.
I only want to see a picture soon ;)
