несколько фактов о Миве))
читать дальшеMiyavi writes, arranges, performs, and produces his own music.
~Miyavi has a mother, father, a younger sister (who is supposedly very beautiful), and a grandmother. He is close to his grandmother.
~I don't know if they're his favourites, but brands he wears occasionally are BA-TSU, Jean Paul Gaultier, Here-There, Beauty-Beast, and Gucci.
~he lost his cell phone in mid-2005; he found and then left it in his pants pocket and put them in the washing machine ^w^ silly goose.
~Miyavi used to play soccer mostly in Jr. High, and I have heard he started as early as nine but I don't know.
~he broke his leg when he was nine, making him unable to play for a while
~he often gives pretend names or nicknames. (one he gave was Koda Imoutoko)
~when asked whether he prefers working solo or in a band, he replied, "This is just as if you ask whether I prefer my father or my mother!" likewise, when asked if he liked being an actor or a musician better, he said the same, except used "grandfather" and "grandmother".
~Miyavi once said, jokingly, in an interview that he drew his tattoos on with magic marker every morning; this was so widespread that many believed it to be true (he seems to be a very good actor, even in interviews).
~he got his first tattoo in Okinawa; i'm not sure if this is the same instance, but just before Due'le Quartz broke up, he went on vacation there. He said he had a sort of self-reflection moment during his stay.
~when he first began getting tattoos and piercings, and his mother and grandmother reprimanded him for it, he would say, "Shut up, you're so noisy".
~Miyavi says that each of his tattoos represents something important or meaningful in his life. He once said in an interview: "To show my determination, I will go get a tattoo or piercing."
~he pretty much always sports black piercings. likewise, all of his tattoos are black, even though he loves color. Elegant, eh?
~Miyavi held his first concert in Taiwan, in the Taipei Youth Activity Center. Onstage, Miyavi held up his guitar and declared, 'My fans had better strip down to listen to my music!' At that, a wave of 'high' energy burst over the crowd, both on-stage and off-stage. Vibrations from the jumping could be felt on both floors of the building. During the concert, Miyavi flaunted this hard-learned Chinese sentence: 'Hi everybody! I'm Miyavi. Even if you don't know Japanese, I hope you can all appreciate my music through this concert.'
~in one interview, when asked why he likes tattoos, he said 'Because they're records of things that happen and they'll never be erased."
~in the same interview, when asked if having his lip piercing makes kissing difficult, he answered, "When I kiss girls, I always have it on, so I really don't know if it's comfortable for them or not."
~although he frequently uses his (male) guitarist as victim of fan service, he says he prefers the female genre.
~although Miyavi himself like tattoos and piercings, he doesn't necessarily want to date a girl with body art. "I won't like the girl who is pierced and tattooed all over, just as long as she's cute and independent though, it's all okay," he said once in an interview. He also says he likes girls who are cheerful and lively and he loves to make them laugh.
~when asked what his favorite place is, he said, "I like the places where I can do whatever I want."
~Although Miyavi had said he was going to sing Chinese songs, due to his tight schedule, he could only say: 'When I was practising, I was constantly bugged by aliens, so I couldn't continue!'
~taken from a television talk show:
In the next fan letter, Rino-chan asks Miyavi about how he spends his Christmas.
Miyavi: Well, I just went to the Moss Burger.
Shoji: What- what is that?
Miyavi: So lonely. Last year I chatted on ORESAMA.
Shoji: Go on.
Miyavi: So I bought chicken.
Shoji: And then?
Miyavi: And that's it!
Miyavi: During the chat it was like... I didn't want to get oil on the keyboard so I wiped my fingers on tissue (pretends to wipe), ate (pretends to gnaw on bones), wiped hands (wipes), typed, ate, wiped, typed, and threw away the bare bones.
Shoji: So your Christmas was like so?
Miyavi: Yes, it was that kind of Christmas. -nightingirl, probably '02 or '03
~when asked what he was like when he was small, he said he was a good kid and he did his homework and studied, but he was really into soccer, and he liked to be around people. he was a "latchkey kid" but since he knew that no one was inside, instead of going indoors he'd just hang out around his home until his parents came home. and when he got older he'd spend all day hanging out with his friends or playing soccer.
~when speaking of the bonus track on his second album, he states that it is something he put everything he was feeling into at the time.
~he prefers Apple computers
~for quite some time, he claimed his Zodiac sign is a Pegasus; of course there is no Pegasus Zodiac. now he has returned to saying Virgo.
~Miyavi and his manager Saitou are very close; they'e pretty much best friends.
~he has never released his full real name. he has, however released his last name (ishihara – and yes, this is the first portion of the name of his band, “ishihara gundan’. Gundan is like a military squad).
~his fans that are in his official fanclub are called "Comiyavi" and the "co" refers to like mini-me's or followers or children. so they're like "little miyavis" or “miyavi’s children”. Sad to say, overseas fans cannot join the official club, but we are still fans.
~he loves summer and the beach
~he hates broccoli and tomatoe juice
~Miyavi is from the Kansai district and has a Kansai accent
~in each album and single, he thanks the PS Company and all the bands under them
~he says he has problems shouting all of the time (NIG)
~despite his loud personality, he is (supposedly) quite humble around his fans and others
~Miyavi re-uses his mic stand, named Masako, first used in Gekokujou, and then Oresama. but he actually hasnt used it in a long while.
~he had his palm read once, and was told he would marry in his 30s.
~about the name change: in DlQ, he was Miyabi. Once he went solo, he changed to Miyavi. However, the Japanese have issues pronouncing the "v" sound, as it is not used in their language (kind of like the "w" sound, though that is used a little). Therefore, instead of using a "v" sound, they use a "b" sound. So his name is still pronounced the same; you are just supposed to write it differently.
~he says he cannot go a day without hugging someone (NIG)
~to try to be healthy, Miyavi tries to drink a lot of orange juice (he also is quite fond of the drink), and i have heard that he has stated that he won't drink coffee, tea, soda, or sake. (Sake is fermented rice beer native to Japan and usually consumed hot or warm). However, I'm not sure of this last part because hes been seen drinking a lot of tea (in comments, etc) and has talked about drinking alcohol.
~his early stage and PV clothes were made by Fotus (also for the photos taken for Gagaku), which he modeled for in a fashion show in '03. Fotus makes kind of space-y stuff like in Pop is Dead PV, but MYV doesnt really wear Fotus any more.
~he has modeled a few times for the Gothic Lolita Bible
~Miyavi says that he doesn't go shopping a lot; he actually wears a lot of the clothes his fans send him, and recycles clothes from his videos and PVs. true
~he used to smoke, but has been spotted using special sticks called paipo made to help people quit (apparently they come in various flavours), and I think he has succeeded. (MK/NIG)
~he has been to California, where he did a photoshoot in 2005. I think I read somewhere that he had been to Las Vegas, Las Angelas, and New York as well; but he did not perform any concerts, as far as I know. he has a photobook of it.
~he was once scheduled to attend some conventions in the US in 2004, but they said a technician caught sick and he had to cancel.
~Miyavi claims to use his own tour towels when he bathes
~for those of you wondering, no, he does not have a girlfriend.
~I have heard that he has a very low pain tolerence. I have no idea how he got all of those tattoos though.
~apparently, he can't hold his liquor very well, either, probably due to his slim appearance. a lot of japanese, actually, cannot hold their liquor - probably cuz they're all so small (at least, compared to us fat ass americans XD)
~At his first live, he hit his front teeth on the mic stand; he continued, pretending that nothing had happened, but afterwards said that it hurt so much he could have cried. (NIG) also, at one concert in '05 during the "Oresama Daare Da" tour, he twisted his ankle one night but continued with plans to have a show the next night. such a super trooper! ^w^
~he has terrible eyesight, hence the glasses you may sometimes see him wearing. the first thing he does in the morning is put them on.
~Miyavi is half Korean, 3rd generation Korean immigrant; his grandparents on his father's(?) side are Korean (read here for more info - also, lately he has been interested by the DNA investigations going on in Japan. read more here)
~Miyavi painted the guitar in the Freedom Fighters video himself (as can be referenced to in the DVD).
~he was so nervous before the shooting of the first live scene in Oresama that his knees were shaking and he couldn't eat. he used to have terrible nervousness before performances, esp in DQ era. Nauseau, etc.
~he loves being around children.
~commenting on the tattoo on his back, he said, "It is the Buddha literature of Wisdom. I want to spend the rest of my life finding the answer to my heart." (he said this on a TV show in Taiwan called AIUEO.)
~he frequently does magazine covers for SHOXX magazine; that was the first magazine he was on the cover of as a solo artist.
~Miyavi has had his hair almost every color, but not necessarily dyed. Usually it's temporary gel, or braided in, sprayed on, etc. I'm sure he's dyed it a few times though XD
~^w^ communication with anyone is never hopeless, including MYV. I've heard of people who've had conversations with him in English; it's just not very understandable XD. besides, Japanese kids have to take English throughout school, so he should be able to speak a little. maybe not very fluently, but whatever. i think he had to take a few english lessons for the Nirvana coverage album, though, so, idk. Spoken language is not the only means of communication, though.
~his parents are divorced, which is why you rarely hear him talking about his father. i dont know how old he was when they divorced, but he also had a bad relationship with his dad for a long time. they only recently started talking to each other again.
~i cant believe i nearly forgot this: 382 is a numerical form of his name (as mentioned in the tattoos sections, though i figured some may not really feel like reading through all of that). 3 = mi, 8= ya, and 2 = bi. clever, yes?
~4/11/06: Megumi, wife of Yoshida Hisanori (or, as i like to call him, the LFX Dude), whome Miyavi wrote "Yappari, megumi ga Suki" for (download available at downloads site), gave birth to their first child, Yoshida Zaku-chan, but three months before the date of delivery, the name was changed to Yoshida Miyabi-chan. ^^ I bet Miyavi-sama is ecstatic!читать дальше
