Artists’ comments:
EXILE
SHOKICHI
To be invited by the one who I respect
most, MIYAVI, is truly blessing, my tension is high!! When I first visited his
studio and the moment I heard MIYAVI’s solo, I was shaken!! Also, when my topline
is done, I felt like just made a brand new creation, my own music is growing
more and more. It was a fun session. I am very thankful!!
KenKen
(LIFE IS GROOVE, RIZE, Dragon Ash)
I just realized, I’ve been friend with him
for so long. For a musician, to have a friend to encourage each other is one of
the blessing. Let’s do this a lot more!! Let’s fill the world with
encouragement.
Che’Nelle
I was so happy to be able to make something
with the one and only MIYAVI. I wanted to make a song that reach people’s
sympathy and at the same time just like in the club, catchy. I think I made it!
I would be happy if everyone all over the world enjoy the song. MIYAVI, thank
you for inviting me! I am happy because you let me took a part in your art!
SKY-HI
The first time I met him, it was a
free-style session at the radio. Even now I still remember it like I just did
that session yesterday, the unstoppable adrenalin, caught in the sensation, I
felt like I could go anywhere. After that, the Samurai I would like to
collaborate with was MIYAVI.
I feel proud from the bottom of my heart
because just like the last free-style session, we did not strike each other but
more like fighting side by side together! This song will be one precious song
in my entire career. I’m looking forward to the day I could exchange swords with you again.
ちゃんみな (Chanmina)
MIYAVI approached me like a brother and it
was fun, and an easy thing to do. I think I was able to make a song with mutual
respect toward each other. Because he made “Pain” as a theme, the composition
was made based on my own “Pain”.
HYDE
If I made a song with him, I want it to be
a song which everyone can sing to. I sent him my idea and he rapidly arranged
it, and it was almost no pattern to it (laugh). I feel like he is a real artist who
is searching for art. I must learn from him ~
VERBAL
A person who always give 1000% passion to
his work and fun time, MIYAVI! Because previously I wanted to make a song,
several studio sessions with him were unexpectedly very creative, thanks to him
a very fun and cool song was created! I’m looking forward to his album!
Masato ( Coldrain )
“I challenge artist who think that music
doesn’t need vocalist by my voice”, this kind of challenge is not good.
My small wish MIYAVI x MASATO, which
appeared when we did a stage together, finally came true. I want to do it again
ASAP. I’m greedy bout this. Please invite me again!!
Miura
Daichi
When I first received the demo called
“Dancing With My Fingers”, the moment I listened to it, there is such a feeling
that this song would be the best song, only the two of us can make. When I sing
while dancing with MIYAVI at live concert or TV Show, I have fun. Finally, when
the two of us made an original song, I am happy. Thank you for inviting me. I
hope this song can reach a lot of people’s heart.
