Both miyavi's official MySpace and melody.'s official MySpace offer comments on the news' premature leak to press sites, such as Sponichi and ZAKZAK. The official announcement from miyavi himself is expected to come at his April 5th concert at Hibiya Yagai Ongakudou.

Miku is wearing glasses ^^..at the end..you see Miku just put his arms up and did the nyappy sign at us. Teruki...you can see him clearly. I think thats Takuya next to him. This was around 11am?
hahha, before..me and a couple of poeple saw Miku walk out of the tour bus like probably not thinking there would be fans... and then he saw us and was like oh shit and walks back in the bus hahah (we just looked..like shocked..so we didnt say anything). I saw a glimpse of Teruki in the bus. I didnt take the video..coz we werent really expecting this hahah."

Edoh& What you need if you are going to a J-Rock Gig
And people going there are not from Nickelodeon. [A guy in his mid fourties? was chatting to some kid on the phone in the queue and used it to describe the the people in line, lolololol. Oh, and btw im not a teenager. I'm Twenty.]
1. Thinking of queuing early?
Well thats all good, but be prepared you WILL definiately be bored out of your skull. Today I queued for 30mins and was right at the mid-end of the line. The people who were there two days ago was at the front obviously. I queued for 7 Hours in the sun in paris for L'arc en ciel. Worth it? Sure was. The experience of my skin next to a sweaty French lady in her 40's was...different and got burnt to my memory forever.
People do queue jump, especially if they have "Links" or "Connections" or are alone.
Be angry? sure.
But feel sorry for the lonely ones, and go ahead and make yourself some friends if you are at the back. [lololol, I'm not so lucky I suppose.] Oh! and dont be late! Gigs do give a 30min gap between the time it says on the ticket and the start but you dont want to miss anything now do you?
There are usually plenty of food shops around the venue, so don't need to bother about bringing lunch. Onto the next subject.
2. Eating right before the Gig?
Don't do it. Larger meals can KILL you and you will regret ever doing so during the whole show. Today my I must have sicked in my mouth about 5 times, and it tasted like the Mc donalds I had an hour before. [tada!] I never learn right?
Drinking too much liquids means you'll need the toilet right? Dont drink too much. But please do hydrate yourself during and after. It gets pretty damn hot in there if you know what I'm saying. O2 Isslington [formaly known as Carling Academy Isslington London], usually hands out free water at the front of the crowd, there are bars at the side so you can ask for water, free of charge. Other venues in not too sure.
>>>Bring Bottle of water
3. Coats and Bags
Less baggage the better, its usual that the people who have nothing to put in the cloackroom would be right at the front of the crowd [where the band are]. You will get sweaty, no doubt about it.
>>>Wearing one layer is more than suffient [I meant top, please wear underpants and something over it]
Usually costs around £2 or sometimes free of charge. Some Venues require you to leave your camera behind and will give you a ticket for you to trade back after the show.
I WANT TO PUNCH THAT CAMERA RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HANDS AND STEP ON IT BY ACCIDENT.
Well, normal people get kicked out of the show if security finds out. The people werent doing their jobs properly huh?
4. Kissing
... Today there were two love birds standing right in front of me, both around 6 foot tall. They didnt dance either. Just stood there... and made out sometimes. Even to the fast songs.
...What, are people running out of hotel rooms to make out in? And the last resort is to come to some japanese dude's show full of people half your age? ... I think we need a word with the hotel peoplel dont you think?

Im yet to listen to Hyde & An Cafes, but from the tracklist they look to be good.

well other than Sadie and -Oz- coming behind ANY band, theres another one that annoys me way more. WHY ARE LYCAON ONLY 42?!! I love that band!!! Theyre amazing!! Id expect them to be in the top 5 not 42!
It just goes to show how people can have such varrying tastes in music, theyre one of my favorite bands and i consider them increadibly talented, but apparently not that many other people do. I expect most of my friends not to like them cause they dont like music they cant understand, but when its fans of Jrock that have voted Lycaon down so far, really surprised me. Well if your reading this and you havent heard anything by Lycaon i highly suggest it!
You can find a link to download their latest album if you click on the Lycaon tag. the first song here is from an earlier album, if you want to download it just tell me and i'll upload it ^^
