1) You always have the most creative and fashionable nails, especially when compared to Western standards. When did you first start “playing” with nail aethetics, and where do you draw inspiration from?
2) Vancouver, BC, Canada
3) I spread the word via email via a mass email to all my contacts (including my boss! haha!), and posting about this giveaway on Facebook, and I even set my msn name to “La Carmina is doing a Miyavi ticket giveaway~!” and all forms of communication included a link to this page.

Hey! Pass me a bedpan of beer over here! :D

1) Hey Miyavi, I understand that you call your audience Co-Miyavi and I was wondering…does this mean that the audience is an entity which is a part of you? If yes, when composing a songs' melodies, rhythm, vocals, and writing lyrics – are you writing them for your pleasure and the audience's pleasure at the same time or 1st yourself then audience?
2) LA
3) I talked about it for some time in my blog, noted some of my friends who love JRock about this, and am now going to paste this link on YouTube videos of Miyavi!

1) What styling tips do you have for your amazing hair?
About your distinctive musical style, do you purposely try to diverge from more mainstream forms or is it a style you have held since your youth?
How do you feel about the androgyny typically associated with visual kei, and are you offended to be mistaken for a girl (if you ever are)?

2) Los Angeles

3) I put it on my blog, emailed all my Jrocky friends, and put it on a facebook status :)

1) If you could have one super power (eg. telepathy, be able to fly, breathe underwater, etc) what would you choose?
2) Vancouver!
3) I tweeted the entry ~

Fourth, what are some of your favorite foods?
2. Los Angeles please!

1) This was a tuff one but I would ask Miyavi:
“Many artist collaborate on tribute albums for veteran acts like Luna Sea and Boowy, is there any artist that you would be interested in hearing cover one of your songs?”

2) LA show please! It would be a fun road trip from San Francisco down south to Club Nokia :D

3) I tweeted your name and Miyavi, along with the link to the contest page. My twitter is connected to my myspace where I have about 3350 friends, so hopefully more people enter. It's really interesting to read the questions other fans come up with!

1. What keeps you awake (worries? too much coffee? the urge to write?)? What puts you to sleep (things that are boring, songs that make you sleepy)?
Your music is amazing, but some of your lyrics are just as moving. Favorite books or authors or poems?
Bonus Q: favorite drink? alcoholic or coffee?
2. Vancouuuuuver please! Time for a Greyhound ride!
3. Spazzed about it to everyone I know (including befuddled German TA), posted on Livejournal and youtube and facebook (whew!) … did you need links to them too?

This is fun! I’m enjoying just reading everyone’s questions :D

Thank you! gambatte!

1) Interview questions (3 of them)!
a. What motivates you to get up and get going on a morning when you’re not on tour or admidst a big project? Or are you more of an evening person?
b. If you had a day off to go work on a charity or project that you really care about, how would you spend the day?
c. What restaurant would you recommend for a Western tourist to try on their visit to Japan? What’s special about it and what would you recommend trying?

2) Los Angeles, por favor!

3) It might be a bit late for the contest, but I can post your blog links on my pages. Also working on a youtube channel. =]

1) As a former music distribution agent, journalist, and promoter, I’ve dealt with a great number of J-Artists (and W-Artists), however somehow never crossed paths with you (MyV) other than a small gig in your acoustic days. I find this interesting, and would think it has something to do with your avid jumping of labels and the like. How do you decide where to go for representation, and what are your own personal requirements of a label? I guess I’d ask you in Japanese if this were in person, but since it’s for the sake of the page, Eigo de gogo.
I would also like to ask: The West is accepting your revolutionary wave of NeoVisualizm, even more than it did your predecessor (well, Westerners often alike you two that is), Hide tried, however wasn’t met with the open arms and success that you are. What do you attribute this to, and how did you expect to be accepted prior to your first foreign shows? I would note that you have an all Japanese line up, where as Hide went with those Zilch guys, among others. You also have a rather strong library of songs with English, however your Japanese songs seem to be the most popular abroad: What do you think of that?
Lastly, I am curious: How did things pan out with Gackt?

2) Vancouver baby, I’m the only eng><jpn journalist/etcman in the city and it would be neat to see you here considering that I lived in Japan so much of my life but was busy with other artists (my loss).

3) I've posted this on my private Facey, for all my friends to see, on my mixi & gree (Japanese SNS, for ppl that are wondering), and would realtime tweet the results and/or the event. I even thought about maybe making a video of sorts if you'd let me show you the kewl parts of this city! annnnnnd, I'd put our photo on IMDB.com, which is a little more publicity for ya :)
今後は宜しくで〜ずんずん、MyVさん。

1) What inspired the songs on What’s My Name? They’re brilliant!
-子供の時、よくなにをするのがすきですか。　What did you like to do as a child?
