雅-MIYAVI- Japan Tour 2010

2010/05/05 Tokyo Shinkiba Coast

I'm not sure that I should really count this as part of my 'tour' reviews, since tonight's show wasn't really part of the tour itself, but it comes so hot on the heels of the club circuit that the tour vibes were still alive and well at Shinkiba Coast tonight.

This wasn't just a Miyavi show ( Read more... )

2010/04/29 Koriyama Hip Shot

Live Report #16*
(*there's actually seventeen shows that I went to, and I'm not sure where exactly I screwed up the numbering, but I'm still too blown out from tour to go back and fix it.)

This isn’t going to be a live report. I’m not really sure what it’s going to be; it’s taken me the better ( Read more... )

2010/04/28 Sendai Darwin

Live Report #15

What can I say about Sendai…? It’s honestly one of my favorite cities in Japan, and every time I’ve visited, the weather has been nothing short of beautiful. This time around, however, the rain started just around the time that Ame Otoko landed at the airport yesterday, and the ( Read more... )

2010/04/24 Sapporo Penny Lane 24

Live Report #14

April 2005: I am a foreigner, and Japan will not let me forget this for a second. Blond haired, blue eyed, and standing nearly six feet tall, I stick out like a sore thumb in any crowd. I barely speak a word of Japanese. And yet here I am, packed into the third row of a Miyavi ( Read more... )

雅-MIYAVI- Japan Tour 2010

2010/04/22 Kanazawa AZ Hall

Live Report #13

Last night’s show in Kanazawa was another stellar round of nostalgia for me. The last time that I was at AZ Hall, I was deathly ill with a 100 degree fever and the first and only migraine headache I have ever had in my life. Barely able to stand upright, I propped myself up on Lyse ( Read more... )

2010/04/21 Niigata Junkbox Mini

Live Report #12

Growing up outside of Albany, NY, I spent a good portion of my teenage years crammed into a tiny little club called the QE2. With room enough for about 100 people tops and a stage which was really nothing more than a foot-high platform with some rickety old railing attached to ( Read more... )

2010/04/18 Nagoya Bottom Line

Live Report #10

Nagoya will always have a special place in my heart; it’s the first city where I ever saw Miyavi play live, and so returning for a show here five years later was nostalgic to say the least. Back then I could barely understand simple driving directions much less his MCs, and ( Read more... )

So I've finally got a few minutes to post some of the shots that we've all been taking out here on tour; it's taken me this long to get pictures traded with everyone (and actually find the time to upload some of my own), but I want to put some faces to all the names and show you guys some of the awesome people who are making this tour so special.

2010/04/012 Kyoto MUSE

Live Report #8

Sorry this one is so late, guys! Miyavi seems to have given half of the audience his cold and so over the break, I was a little too sick to do anything except for hang out in my apartment, sleep, and eat tons of pizza. Now that we’re back out on the road, though, I’m going to try and ( Read more... )
