MIYAVI is the ex-guitarist of Dué le quartz. During his time with Dué le quartz, he was known as Miyabi, meaning elegant. After going solo in late 2002, he changed his stage name to 雅-MIYAVI-. In 2013, with the release of his self titled album MIYAVI, the artist went through another name change, simplifying the name by dropping the kanji.
Dué le quartz: Miyabi's position in the band was that of guitarist and, occasionally, background vocals. He was the youngest member of the band, joining in 1999 at age 17, and developed the "youthful and flamboyant" image he still carries on today in his solo career, albeit it has been tweaked a bit. Dué le quartz disbanded in September of 2002, with Miyabi following up shortly afterward with the announcement of his solo career.
As a solo artist, Miyabi appeared on TV to promote his debut album, 【雅楽】-gagaku-, also stressing the name change from Miyabi to 雅-MIYAVI-. He continued to stress this change on into the first year of his solo career. It wasn't long before he had amassed a very large fan base, despite having lost some of his old fans from his Dué le quartz days, going on to release multiple singles and another album. About two years later, in late 2004, he was signed (or "married" as Universal and he had jokingly put it) to Universal Records Japan, making the transition from indie to major. The release of the single ロックの逆襲 -スーパースターの条件-/21世紀型行進曲 marked his major label debut. Around that same time, in late 2004, he also started referring to himself as MYV, but remained listed as "雅-MIYAVI-" on both his official website and in magazines.
In 2007, MIYAVI became a member of the supergroup S.K.I.N. along with three other notable Japanese rock musicians associated with or closely related to the visual kei movement - YOSHIKI, Gackt and SUGIZO. S.K.I.N. debuted with their first and so far only concert held on June 29 at Long Beach Arena, California, USA. After their debut performance, the band's activities suddenly came to a halt. The future of the project still remains unclear.
MIYAVI embarked on his first world tour in 2008, performing 33 concerts in North and South America, Europe and Asia. The concerts gained extensive media coverage and the majority of them were sold out. It was the most successful international tour undertaken by a Japanese artist to date.
On March 14, 2009, MIYAVI married the Japanese singer melody.. He announced the marriage and that his wife was expecting their first child on his official MySpace blog. Lovelie (Airi) Miyavi (愛理 雅) was born July 29, 2009. MIYAVI and melody. welcomed their second daughter, Jewelie Aoi, October 21, 2010.
In April 2009, MIYAVI left PS COMPANY Co,. , his record label, and Universal Records Japan with the expiration of his contract. On April 8th, he announced that he had started his own company J-glam Inc.. On December 31 that same year he also signed a contract with EMI Music Japan. His first single with EMI, Survive, was released March 10, 2010.
In 2013, with the release of his self titled seventh studio album MIYAVI (released June 19 in Japan) and singles leading up to it, MIYAVI changed his stage name from 雅-MIYAVI- to MIYAVI. The album is MIYAVI's first release in which the majority of the song lyrics are in English. It is also MIYAVI's best-selling album so far. In October that same year it was announced that the artist would venture into professional acting with his international debut in the film Unbroken, directed by Angelina Jolie. The film was released in December 2014. During the release of the film, MIYAVI and his family relocated to Los Angeles, California, USA, where they currently still reside.
In 2017, MIYAVI celebrated his 15th year as a solo artist with the release of an anniversary compilation album, All Time Best: Day 2 on April 2, and a tour in Japan titled MIYAVI 15th Anniversary Live „NEO TOKYO 15” beginning May 21. He also played a cameo role in the movie Kong: Skull Island.
As of 2017, MIYAVI has embarked on a total of five world tours, performing mainly in North and South America, Europe and Asia.

Horizon
雅-MIYAVI- Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
morning light
If the world ended we had
one last night
So every man has
danced through history
Around the fires from the
clubs to seas
instinct for us
To move to move to move
If you come with me
don't fall behind
With the horizon in sight
Just imagine let go of your mind
Like we're on the edge of light
We'll be going like
Yeah oh "O-do-re" oh oh oh oh
We want it all
Yeah oh "O-do-re" oh oh oh oh
Before it ends tonight
So tell me what this life is
all about
Cuz we've been close but time is
running out
Imagine dancing on
horizon's floor
We do what's natural
to us once more
The world might end tomorrow
but one thing
I know I know I know
If you come with me
don't fall behind
With the horizon in sight
Just imagine let go of your mind
Like we're on the edge of light
We'll be going like
Yeah oh "O-do-re" oh oh oh oh
We want it all
Yeah oh "O-do-re" oh oh oh oh
Before it ends tonight
If you come with me
don't fall behind
With the horizon in sight
Just imagine let go of your mind
Like we're on the edge of light
We'll be going like
Yeah oh "O-do-re" oh oh oh oh
We want it all
Yeah oh "O-do-re" oh oh oh oh
We'll be going like
Yeah oh "O-do-re" oh oh oh oh
We want it all
Yeah oh "O-do-re" oh oh oh oh
Before it ends tonight
it ends tonight
Before it ends tonight
The lyrics of "Horizon" by 雅-MIYAVI- encapsulate the essence of living in the moment and making the most out of life. The song urges the listener to imagine a life with no worries, to dance like there's no tomorrow, and to let go of all inhibitions. The artist starts by painting a picture of a world where nothing exists in the morning light, and the only thing left is the memory of one last night. The lyrics suggest that in human history, dance has been a way of expression - from fires to clubs and seas - and that even in our lives, we have an instinct to keep moving.
The chorus unites the themes of the song by urging the listener to let go and imagine a world where they are on the brink of light, where they can move forward in the journey of life without fear. The lyrics emphasize that if the listener comes along on this journey, they should not fall behind, and just like the horizon in sight, they should aim to go beyond their boundaries. As the song reaches its climax, 雅-MIYAVI- urges the listener once more to enjoy life to the fullest, to not worry about tomorrow, and to seek out all the joys one could experience before the end comes tonight.

Imagine nothing in the morning light
Picture yourself waking up to a world with nothing in it
If the world ended we had one last night
If the world was going to end, we would have one night left to experience everything we ever wanted to experience
So every man has danced through history
Dance has always been a part of human expression throughout history
Around the fires from the clubs to seas
People gathered around fires to dance and celebrate, whether it was in a club or near the sea
And in our life we have an instinct for us
We have a natural urge in life to move and to express ourselves
To move to move to move
We feel the need to constantly move and do something
If you come with me don't fall behind
If you come with me, keep up with me and don't hesitate
With the horizon in sight
With the view of the edge of the earth in front of us
Just imagine let go of your mind
Let go of any doubts and imagine freely
Like we're on the edge of light
As if we're on the brink of discovering something new
We'll be going like Yeah oh "O-do-re" oh oh oh oh
We'll be dancing all night with enthusiasm
We want it all
We want to experience everything life has to offer
So tell me what this life is all about
Ask yourself what the purpose of life is
Cuz we've been close but time is running out
We've been together for a while, but time is limited
Imagine dancing on horizon's floor
Imagine dancing at the edge of the earth
We do what's natural to us once more
We follow our natural instinct to move and dance once again
The world might end tomorrow but one thing I know I know I know
Even if the world ends tomorrow, there's one thing I'm sure of
Before it ends tonight
Before our time to experience life runs out

@kimberlyvuong6396
Miyavi ❤
@user-kq5sd6eq3v
MIYAVIが楽しそうに気持ち良さそうにギター掻き鳴らしてるの見てるとなんかもう涙出てくる(ストレスとか不安とか浄化される)
@TheVigilette
I actually think this is a seriously good song. And it shows his diversity as an artist. he can do hard rock, screamo, sexy, pop, punk, and a little bit of everything in between. shrug i don't think he means to be someone you HAVE to listen to all of their songs. he wants people of every genre to listen to him, and to listen to the songs in particular of his that fit their personal taste in genre. that' all. if this isn't your forte, i think he understands that and is fine with it.
