"I really felt how much everyone had been looking forward to it. "I:Despite such struggle, this was a tour where we saw challenging approaches without any negative attitudes. For example, a concert in South America is an unusual attempt for a Japanese artist. I’m sure it was a new frontier. What was it that made you approach this new frontier?M:This challenge was really timing and conditions. At first, I was thinking of going to the East Coast of USA, because I didn’t think South America would respond so enthusiastically. Contrary to my expectations, they showed strong interest. And it was before the tour dates for the U.S was set, so I thought "I really want to make this happen".I:And you made it happen. Do you think your instincts were correct?M:Of course. Even if there wasn’t even a single audience, we can call it a success. The fact that I performed in South America is what’s meaningful. And in fact, the enthusiasm was fantastic and I really felt how much everyone had been waiting for me. Although there were small detailed problems like the fact that I couldn’t take the whole crew, schedule problems, and instrument getting lost, the venues held 2 to 3000 people and the acoustics were great, and most of all, the fever of enthusiasm the audience brought was just great.I:So the audiences’ responses outweighed the disadvantages?M: Yeah, definitely."I kept away from my sick manager during my temporary stay back in Japan"I:So after the tour in South America, you were temporarily back in Japan. What did you do in your free time? For example, your physical conditions. It’s not easy to keep a mental focus for 3 months. How do you do it?M:No it’s not easy. But I just kept going to the gym to work out, and kept away from my sick manager.I:He seemed unwell.M:He always has a cold. And despite the fact that he's constantly getting sick, he’s always telling the band members to be careful about their conditions on their own responsibility as professional artists.

I:During your temporary stay in Japan, I bumped in to your manager at a different venue and he said "I have a fever of so many degrees and I feel so sick…" looking all dizzy….M:Everyone goes like "Your manager always looks so ill". So seeing him, I tried to keep fit by working out because I can’t go to the gym during the tours. My condition used to go down often during my tours. I'll get ill unless I keep focused and really concentrated, and when I lose it, it all comes out physically.I:Is it that the more tensed you are, the harder it is afterwards?M:Yes, so that’s why I workout really hard. I was at the gym ALL the time, before the tour and in-between as well. I think I was more bulky during the Europe tour than the one in America. And even bigger when I came back to Japan at the end. It’s also hard to maintain my weight because it easily goes down.I:Taking care of your health conditions must have been even harder when you’re in a foreign country and in a different environment.M:Yes. I actually started taking carbohydrates during this tour. America was especially hard. The food, like the chicken, was all dry!! (laugh) and felt I wouldn’t be able to get through it otherwise, so at some point of the Europe tour, I started to take in some carbs.I:Did you take any Japanese food with you?M:No, there wasn’t.I:What about like miso-soup or other Japanese food?M:No I didn’t. I don’t really like that kind of "I can’t live without Japanese food" thing. It wasn’t necessary.I:So did you cook for yourself? Or ate out?M:Of course we ate out. The food was fine if you went to the "right places". It’s just that when we had to eat at places like service areas when we were moving around Europe, that was the hardest part."Everyone was so passionate."I:Did people recognize you as Miyavi at the service areas？M:No. That place is atypical, so it’s OK. But there were fans that followed us all the way to the service areas by cars (laugh).I:Chased you by car?M:Yeah.I:In Paris, I was asked if I knew where Miyavi was going by some of your fans. then, I answered "sorry I don’t know either." (laugh)M:Paris was crazy!! We went to a restaurant around Opera garnier. I forgot the name of the restaurant but, it was a pretty good and formal restaurant. As soon as I arrived, there were fans around the restaurant. I was like "…woah". (laugh) and went into the restaurant. But even inside the restaurant, there were fans and their families too (laugh) One of the dads told me that he brought his daughter all the way from Switzerland to see my concert!

I:You talked to them?M:Yeah, just a little. They asked me for my autograph. And this wasn’t just one family!!I:Even in a formal restaurant?M:I know! I was really amazed.I:I’m sure it was the greatest coincidence and memory of their lives for the fans.M:I hope so. And I like traveling to foreign countries, because you’re in a totally different environment where you don’t have to be you. It’s like you’re allowed to leave every thing behind. Even if you do the same things, hang out, go clubbing, it’s different when you’re in a foreign country. You feel a little bit more free, at least I feel so (laugh) So even if people recognize me, I don’t stop going to a lot of places, because I’m traveling!! (laugh )"Back in Japan, I was a bit disappointed, honestly…"I:Unlike Japanese fans, foreign fans are very straight forward of their passion. I’m sure it’s very energy consuming receiving all that energy on your own.M:Yes, but I know what is expected of me, I think. But even then, I was blown away by the foreign fans. So I felt a bit disappointed being back in Japan, honestly…I:You wanted them to be more passionate?M:Well… it’s not about whether it's good or bad, I guess it's kinda like this is this and that's that. Japanese have their own style of showing passion. But no matter how big the crowd, 30,000, 50,000, 100,000, 200,000, 400,000, I am confident that I am able to embrace it all.I:I think that live concerts are created by both the performers and listeners together. After seeing these different responses, do you plan to change your style or do things different?M:No, not really. I know that my fans are there to see MY show, so the final picture of what I want to exhibit is very clear to me. The tactics, of course, differ accordingly, but what I portray of my show does not change. That’s the difference between performing your own show and things like street lives or jumping in to play at a club."It felt like, all first date events (laugh)"I:At your last interview, you said that if you want people to know you and understand you, first you have to show your effort to understand them. And that is why you try to communicate in their language and open up the gateway for the foreigners to listen to your music.M:When did I say that?I:At the end of last year’s interview.M:Right, well said!!I:Yes you did !!M:And I do!! (laugh)

I:Exactly. Then, you were also talking about the synergic effect of mutual understanding.M:Yes, I think I was very successful in achieving that. Like I was saying earlier about how the audience respond in Japan, it’s not that Japanese fans aren’t excited and passionate, they are just used to it, compare to the others. So some parts that foreign fans haven't caught on to are sometimes very popular for the Japanese fans, like twirling their towels and headbanging. There are unique atmospheres because of the long relationship with the Japanese crowd. So in that relation, everything’s new for the foreigners, you know? Everything’s a "first". They react very straightforwardly, so I respond straightforwardly. Then I think, "I should take this freshness back to Japan".I:Right."It’s important to establish a relationship where you can use the words " I love you" after 10 years"M:I felt the need to convey. Saying "I love you" in different languages during this tour naturally increased the frequency of using the words in Japan as well. I used to feel it unnecessary to say the exact words out loud before, because I know they know it, and thought that saying it too often would wear away and weaken the meaning of it. But now, I know that you have to convey your thoughts and feelings, otherwise it’s not going to spread. The world tour made me realized that it’s something that grows. In that sense, I learned a lot on this tour.I:It’s like the difference between a newly-wed couple and a couple that’s been together for 10 years.M:Yes, something like that. I felt that it’s important to establish a relationship where you can use the words “I love you” after 10 years into the relationship. I think this has spread on to the Japanese fans, too. I don't want it to be taken for granted. It’s not right. So if I see anyone during the concert that seems to be bored, I would approach her and excite her, and if the atmosphere lacks of tension, I’d get upset. These are things I need to work on in performing in Japan. Not only at live concerts, but my music in general.I:So through your overseas performances, you actually discovered new equations to your work in Japan and it’s evolving. At your concert in Paris, your fans put up a banner saying , in Japanese. That was a strong moment where I felt that your passions and ideas are spreading all over the world and was very touched.M:I was very happy too. The Japanese fans, my European fans, my American fans, my Asian fans… They genuinely spoke their feeling and said I love you to me, so I thought that’s what I’ll do for my Japanese fans too. I was able to experience it first hand.To be continued…
