nekkichi 6042 Posted February 11, 2015 This isn't only a vk forum. 90 % of news forum postings are vk-related, and miyavi is one of those artists who shifts between vk/non-vk like every 3 years or so. but people who listen to more than just vk are welcome here just as much as anyone else. I was talking to one particular Gackt stan, if it clears things up, and I don't speak on behalf of anyone other than me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seikun 317 Posted February 11, 2015 Apart from a few songs from the time when he just started his solo career I was not a fan of his music. However, I found Miyavi somehow original, his music had some interesting sounds, subliminal singing, etc. Now, he has traded all that to become a more mainstream artist, appealing enough to a broader spectruum of western audiences which Visual Kei, even in its most maintream branch, simply cannot provide to him. Well, I will always have Jibun kakumei 2003 and Girls, be ambitous and Due'le quartz in my heart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jigsaw9 6783 Posted March 6, 2015 I like how it's almost exclusively new tracks! Also lol @ Denki Groove cover, let's see how he'll pull that off... xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furik 832 Posted March 6, 2015 Oh I have no hopes for this. The album art is just like his last two albums. The sing titles are boring. If anything, I'd get this just for the DVD because he's good live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheStoic 176 Posted March 25, 2015 I have not invested in listening to Miyavi heavily since 2009. His output in the Miyavi Uta ~Dokuso~/Samurai Sessions/Neo-Visualizm cycles were my favorite incarnations of his music, but lately - I think the English focus and collab focused output has not been able to interest me like the old era (although, living in Korea in 2013 and being bombarded with K-Pop on the daily made me enjoy his ballad focused single "Guard You" as it sounds like a K-Pop song...). Like I do with his other releases, I will probably sample it once, enjoy a song or two and discard the rest. I really disliked "Let Go"... 1 clow_eriol reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seikun 317 Posted March 26, 2015 I sometimes get the feeling that perhaps, once he turned 30, he thought he was a bit old to be a Visual Kei artist. Then he switched to a more mainstream look, kind of feeling lost and/or searching for a style that best suited him. I don't know how well his more westernised generic music will work in the west. I tend to think he might have lost some fans since his music has become more mainstream and less interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enyx 903 Posted April 15, 2015 Listened through the album on Spotify only an hour or so ago and I can barely remember a thing about it; it all just seemed to blur together into one long generic song. I'm all for Miyavi doing what he wants, but I think I can comfortably say that his recent material really isn't my thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
