Whoo hoo!!! I hope everyone is happy and excited today!! hehehe ^.^
Haha before i begin this awesome blog, I would like to give a big thank you to angelchao4!!! hehe thank you for the GazettE playlist and for helping choose todays blog topic entry!!! Also I want to thank everyone else who commented on my blog entries!! Arigatou gozaimasu mina-san!!!

Ok now to begin todays blog entry!!! well today i’m going to be talking about the crazy and totally awesome vocalist and guitarist… Miyavi!!!

Hehe this is Piyoko-chan and I hope everyone can enjoy todays blog entry!!!

Now I’m sure all of you are dying to know more about Miyavi right?? haha ok then, hajimemasho!!

Miyavi started in 2002 (just like the GazettE) signed under PS Company, and later in 2003, with Universal Records Japan. Miyavi is both a guitarist and vocalist.

Before Miyavi went solo, he was in a visual kei band called Dué le Quartz (please feel free to check out this band). While in Dué le Quartz, his name was Miyabi (雅), but after changed his name to Miyavi after the band broke up in 2002 (thats when he went solo).

He also changed his name from Miyavi to Myv (which is a shortened version of his name), but many still refer to him as Miyavi.

Miyavi was also one of the many who performed at the JRock Revolution concert in 2007. There he announced that he was in a new band called Skin. This band includes Yoshiki, Gackt, Sugizo, Ju-Ken, and Miyavi himself!!

For more information on Myv, you can check out his official website http://www.o-re-sa-ma.com/ or his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/miyavi or you can search him on google or wikipedia or whichever one you want.

Now to those who’ve never listened to Miyavi and are interested, you’re probably wondering whats so special about him.

Well Myv is very unique, he is one of Japan’s best guitarist!! If you haven’t seen him play, you’re missing out on a lot!! Myv plays his own rhythms and not only are they creative, but their catchy and really cool!!! Especially when he does slap guitar on his acoustic!! You really have to check it out!!!

Well since I’m nice and all (just kidding) I have provided you with a link that shows Myv playing slap guitar!! so please check it out!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wBfbVaIln8

Well isn’t he an inspiration!!! Well since I too play guitar (acoustic that is), I am really impressed and he makes me want to play like that!!! Not that I ever can haha I’m terrible >.

Alright now, as usual, I will give you a list of songs that you might like so here they are people!!! The songs I suggest are itoshii hito, what a wonderful world, neo visualism, are you ready to rock, kabuki danshi, and ashita tenki ni naare. Well those are just some I like, but you will find more songs you like, if you look!!!

Now that i told you some, go check out his music!!! Go on youtube, imeem, veoh, or whatever and listen to his music, or watch his PV’s. Oh yea his PV’s are really cool and fun so check them out please!!!

And if you love his music you can now buy it on iTunes!!! You can go to his myspace page and click on the iTunes button to buy his songs!!! So lets go out there and support Myv the best we can!!

Now after reading about Miyavi, I hope that you can begin to love him as much as all us Myv fans do!!! haha join us… -.-’

Anyway, thank you to those who have spent their time to read this, I really appreciate it!!! Arigatou gozaimasu!!

If you have any questions please feel free to message me or leave a comment!!!

Well this is the end of this blog entry!!! I hope you can continue to read my blog and I hope it can continue to entertain you!!! Well I’m not sure what my next blog entry will be about, but if you have any suggestions I’m all ears!! Just leave a comment on who you want me to write about!!

hm… maybe I should do Nightmare, or X Japan, or Versailles, who knows!!

Well ’til next time!! This is Piyoko-chan and I’m done!!! (・θ・)

(From left to right Uruha, Reita, Ruki (bottom), Kai, and Aoi)

Konnichiwa mina-san!!! Piyoko-chan desu!!! haha I’m sure everyone is excited for this blog entry!! I know I am!!(・◇・)

Today I’m going to be discussing the very cool and popular band, the GazettE!

Yay!!! I bet you’re all wondering, who are these hotties?? haaa, I won’t tell you!!

just kidding I will!! Well for starters, you’re looking at one of Japan’s most successful visual kei band! (・◇・)

the GazettE started in 2002, currently signed under PS Company, King Records, and CLJ Records. The band first started with Ruki (vocalist), Uruha (guitarist), Reita (bassist), Aoi (guitarist), and Yune (drummer).

But in 2003, Yune (drummer), decided to leave the band. Soon afterwards, Kai (the GazettE’s new drummer), joined the band. This just became the start of their awesome journey to success!!

If you want more information on them, you can search for them on google, wiki, or whatever. Or you can go to their official page http://www.pscompany.co.jp/gazette/ or their myspace page http://www.myspace.com/thegazetteofficial

Now to those who have never heard of the GazettE, you’re probably wondering what their music is like.

Well they can have very dark and heavy music, but sometimes they can be serene and soothing! In my opinion, their music just keeps getting better and better!!!

Once you listen to their music, you’ll definitely see what I mean. Not only are the vocals great, but the guitars really rock!! While the bass creates a smooth beat, and the drums really keep them all in balance, with rhythm and all.

Now as usual, I’ll be giving some suggestions on what songs you might possibly like. Some of my favorites are guren, silly god disco, filth in the beauty, kare uta, cassis, reila, and hyena.

Haha now get out there and listen to their music!! Go on youtube or imeem or whatever website and listen to their music!! (・θ・)

Ohh and their PV’s as well, their very good. I really like the PV for Guren, which is their latest single.

And if you really like their music, it can now be bought on iTunes. But you have to go to their myspace page and click on the link that says iTunes to be able to buy their music!!!

After reading this, I hope you too can become a fan of the GazettE and help all of us that already are, support them!!

Arigato-gozaimasu mina!! Thank you for taking your time to read this blog!!

Also if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!!

hehe well thats the end to this entry!!! I hope you continue to read my blog!! Who knows, my next entry might be on Miyavi or 12012 or Dir En Grey!! haha or you can help me to decide!! so just leave a comment saying what band you want me to do!!!

’til next time!! bye bye from Piyok0-chan!! (・θ・) 

(From left to right Tora, Nao, Hiroto, Shou, and Saga)

hehe yo everyone!! Lets all be psyched for this blog entry!! YAY!!! ^.^

This time I’m going to be talking about the amazing and wonderful band called… alice nine.

hehe yep yep this is Piyoko-chan reporting from her dark and kinda scary basement… haha just kidding!! . . . -.-’

Anyway… I bet you’re all wondering, who is alice nine. Well… I’ll tell you!!! (・θ・)

alice nine. (アリス九號.) is a visual kei band that started in 2004. (if you read my last blog entry then you would know that Ayabie also started in 2004). This cool band consists of Shou (vocalist), Hiroto (guitarist), Tora (guitarist), Saga (bassist), and Nao (drummer). This band is under PS Company’s record label, as well as Japan’s King Records, and German label CLJ Records.

This band even came to America for the JRock Revolution concert in California, in 2007. Also featuring many other visual kei bands. Unfortunately i was unable to go, but its ok, hopefully I will see them in the future. (・◇・)

For more information on this band you can check out their official web site http://www.pscompany.co.jp/alicenine/ or their myspace page http://www.myspace.com/alicenineofficial or you can just go on google and search for them, whichever you prefer!!

alice nine. is a great band ranging from fun music like blue planet to heavy rock like yami ni chiru sakura.

During the years, alice nine. has really grown. In their music you can even tell how much they’ve changed.

Though I just discovered them in early 2007, I’ve really fallen in love with them! They are by far my favorite band and they were the first band that got me into visual kei! (・◇・)

If you haven’t already fallen for this band then check out their music youself!! Not only is their music great, but their PV’s are awesome!!!

Now I bet you’re all thinking, wow I should really check out this band (you’re probably not thinking that but lets just go with the flow haha) but you don’t know where to start.

Well just go on youtube or whatever website you prefer, and search for alice nine. Now since you’re reading this, you probably want some suggestions.

Well in my opinion, I love all their songs. But some songs I suggest you listen to are MIRROR BALL, Fantasy, TSUBASA, Ruri no Ame, White Prayer, NUMBER SIX, and Eraser -Memoire d’une fleur-.

Hehe and while you’re at it check their PV’s. Their PV’s are really cool too, i really like MIRROR BALL!!

OO and lets all look forward to their newest single RAINBOW. It should be released on August 6 so yea i’ll be anticipating that.

Now I hope all you new to this band can come to love them!!! And to all those who already do, lets continue to cheer them on!! GO ALICE NINE.!!!

aahhh well here comes the end to this blog entry!! i know i know you’re all upset. (i know you’re really not but hey this is my blog so just pretend you are), but don’t worry i’ll be back mu ha ha ha!!!

. . . -.-’

Anyway thank you to those who actually spent their time reading this, it means a lot!!! If you have any questions please ask!! hehe and if you want to be friends then its ok with me, lets all be friends!!!

’til next time. Piyoko-chan out . . . yea i know that was… unnecessary… -.-’ sorry… anway bye bye!! (・θ・)

(From left to right Intetsu, Takehito, Kenzo, Yumehito, and Aoi)

Hello everyone!! I’m Piyoko-chan!!! hehe this blog topic today will be about Japan’s cute and fun-loving band, Ayabie!!!! (・◇・)

If you haven’t heard of them, then here is a good place to start!!! And to all those who already listen to them, yay you!!!

Well now for some background information!!! Ayabie (彩冷える) started in 2004, signed under the label Speed Disk. Originally the band consisted of Aoi (vocalist), Takehito (guitarist), Intetsu (bassist), and Ryohei (guitarist).  

During 2004, Ayabie had a support drummer but a year later Kenzo became the official drummer for Ayabie! Then in 2006, Ryohei decided to leave the band and soon after started his own band called Megamasso (please feel free to check out Ryhoei’s new band).  As a result, Ayabie got its newest member, Yumehito soon afterwards!!

For more information you can go to wikipedia or any other website with Ayabie information!!!

Just recently Ayabie came to America for their World Tour! Their first stop was at the Knitting Factory in New York!! Because I’m a big fan of Ayabie, me and my friend bought tickets to watch them!!!

It was a great experience to watch Ayabie live!! Aoi sang very well live and it almost sounded like from the PV’s. The guitars (Takehito and Yumehito), sounded very well on the solos and throughout the songs played. Also the bass (Intetsu) really helped to keep the beat and music flowing. We can’t forget the drums now, the drums really kept the rhythm, so good job Kenzo!!

Hehe not only did I get to meet people who share the same love for Visual Kei and Ayabie, I got the band members autograph as well!! After the show their was an autograph session for anyone who bought at least $30 worth of merchandise!

The band members seemed really friendly and they really reached out to the fans!! The atmosphere at their concert really spread to even those in the balconies that couldn’t be near the stage (well at least in my point of view)!! I’m sure they were nervous because this was their first performance in America. But overall, they did a great job and they really let their feelings out to the fans!!  

Ayabie has more of a technoy electronic sound, but they have some Japanese elements in their music as well. I’m not very good at explaining things so why don’t you check out their PV’s and singles yourself!!!

Go on youtube or imeem or whatever and listen to Ayabie!! I suggest you listen to Cubic “L/R” ock, Yubisaki, and TheMe. Those are some of my favorite songs from Ayabie!!

And while your at it go to their official website www.ayabie-web.com/ or their myspace page www.myspace.com/ayabieusa

Well thats all!! I hope you enjoyed this blog!! I hope all you new to Ayabie can come to love this band!! And to all of you who already love Ayabie, please continue to support them!!! (・θ・)

If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I’ll answer them as best as I can!! My next blog entry might be about alice nine. (アリス九號.) or maybe not… hehe well thats all!!! bye bye!!
