Alright, I know this is really random.
But check out This IZ 雅-miyavi-
(who was originally known as Miyabi which stands for Elegance in Japanese Kanji and currently adopts the name of myv - He's the only artist whom I know changes name really frequently.)
I was just feeling really bored from all the FYP stress and surfed the net to check out this guy called Miyavi.

I was just feeling really bored from all the FYP stress and surfed the net to check out this guy called Miyavi.
He is mixed blood, born to a Japanese mom & Korean dad, Korean grandparents came from Jeju Island. He's not afraid to say he's half korean and half japanese, considering the fact discrimination of Korean blooded people still exists in the twentieth century's Japan.
I think he bears a striking resemblance to Kim Hee Chul from Super Junior, and they have something in common: the two of them have the androgynous look. Just that Miyavi has numerous tattoos and piercings all over his body. When I first saw him, I tot OMG, that must have been really painful. What really scared me was that he used the same bright pink shade of nail polish as my toenails on his fingernails!
Miyavi on the left, and Kim Hee Chul on the right
He was the guitarist for a visual kei band, Dué le Quartz which was disbanded in 2002 and is now one of the highly recognised and talented guitarist cum singer in nippon. Visual Kei is a visual style for J rock band artistes who put on elaborate makeup, weird outfits, dramatic hairdos. This is really quirky and is considered as fan service to entertain their FANS. You only get this kind of quirky ideas in the land of Japan.
This guy has no qualm in wearing skirts, something which majority of the singaporean guys would not think of doing so in public. But then again, there's something about him that oozes self-confidence that suggests that the clothes he wear doesn't define his sexuality, but instead they define who he is, insanely wild and unpredictable just like his music.
After doing this research on Miyavi, I was able to understand why Miyavi wore the clothes he wore, donned the weirdo, ever changing hairstyles. He was a Visual Kei j rocker when he was just 17 and that probably had an enormous influence in his dressing, which can still be seen evidently as part of his daily dressing style which has a fuse of streetwear and still many elements of visual kei aspects.
I think he's really interesting to watch. So watch him. I bet you all saw him before on my blog, cos he won my respect by playing the guitar so skillfully and flawlessly. Gasps. (Remember Selfish love?) My first impression of this guy was.....man.....he looks satanic...
