What's My Name? World Tour 2011
 Review # 2

I like Okayama; compared to Tokyo it's a sleepy little town - beautiful during hanami, and full of chill, friendly, trusting people. ...Also full of chill, friendly, trusting pidgeons. Let me show you what I mean.

 What's My Name? World Tour 2001
 Review # 1

Miyavi's 'What's My Name 2011 World Tour' kicked off with a bang last night in Nagoya, as nearly 300 fans gathered up in Nagoya for the first show on the domestic leg of the tour. We've done quite a few shows at this venue since 2005, and I have to admit that it's growing on me - though it's a little ( Read more... )

 
Asdfjksdjaftsk....

That is the sound of my brain trying to wrap itself around what I saw last night.

As I'm sure you guys already know, we were back at Club Quattro in Shibuya for another go 'round - the second night of Miyavi's HELL-OH from Tokyo event, featuring Nothing's Carved In Stone as a special guest. After a solid, intricate and ( Read more... )

Okay! So before I start tonight's review, let's rewind to....

2010/12/15: Shibuya Liquid Room

...Which was awesome! There were only three shows on the What's My Name? CD Release Party Tour, and obviously, Tokyo was the biggest. Though I don't remember the set list now, I can tell you that the crowd atmosphere was awesome; Liquid Room is one of ( Read more... )

What's My Name? CD Release Party

2010/12/06: Osaka Big Cat

WOW, Osaka. Just.... wow!

I've been to a lot of Miyavi shows - small shows, big shows, calm shows, crazy shows, really lighthearted shows and super-emotional shows - but I have never been to a show quite like that before.

Before I review this one, though, I should probably backtrack and ( Read more... )

Four years ago, I took my seat in Tokyou Geijutsu Gekijou with no idea what to expect - it was my very first time attending one of Miyavi's birthday lives (actually, I think it might have been his very first birthday live), and one of my first fanclub-only events. From the seating to the stage setting to the brand new style he debuted that night, ( Read more... )

Wear Red Shoes Vol.7 Live Event, Shibuya O-East

The Venue: O-East is the biggest live house in Shibuya; it has an approximate capacity of about 1300 people, and though the event wasn’t sold out, the floor was fairly well filled. There’s a couple of different bars, some comfy VIP seating upstairs, and a large floor divided up by railings that ( Read more... )

Because the entire tour (save the encores) was broadcast on UStream - and subsequently uploaded to YouTube by various people - it seemed sort of superfluous to review each individual concert on the Screamin' Out From Tokyo Tour 2010. Thanks to family responsibilities, I only managed to make it to ten out of the twelve concerts myself - the first ( Read more... )

雅-MIYAVI- Japan Tour 2010

2010/05/29 Shinagawa Stellar Ball

"Closing time,

every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end..."

It rained today in Tokyo. The light, misty drizzle started at about noon.

And that's how we all knew that Miyavi was on his way to the venue. Tonight's show in Shinagawa was the official Japanese tour final - one ( Read more... )
