current song: Untitled "Simple Plan"
For those that know me (and if you don't you are about to find out) know that I am just a teensy-weensy bit obsessed with Miyavi. Not obsessed in that annoying, fangirly way (although I can get like that if I wanted) but in a loyal fan way who completely respects a musical genius.
Most people, mainly my brother, roll their eyes when I begin talking about Miyavi because I can go on forever, but they just don't understand why I like this man and his music. For one thing, they don't understand why I listen to music in a language that I can't understand. One, Japanese is a beautiful language and I enjoy listening to it's nuances. Two, you don't have to understand a language to hear the emotion behind it. Whether it's a song of his that is happy and upbeat, soft and dreamy, loud and angry, it doesn't matter. Miyavi is a muscian that puts everything he is into his songs. He is an entertainer, period.
And I respect that.
So, because of all this, I would like to say thank you to this singer on this special day of his, even though I know he will never read this. One, he couldn't even if he saw this (he doesn't know english) and two....things like that only happen in an alternate universe.
So Miyavi...
Happy Birthday!!
I hope this day holds many blessings for you and much happiness. May this year in your life hold as much productivity and fortune as this last year gave you, and keep staying true to who you are. Thank you for producing such wonderful music that I can listen to in any mood, whether I'm angry, sad, contemplative, or happy. And even though I don't understand what you speak, I understand a bit of your heart, because you put that into your songs.
That came out a bit more mushy than I intended, but it was honest. Happy 25th!
