SOTM: Selfish Love (Miyavi)

Not the GazettE related, but also working for the same record company PS Company and another visual kei artist, is Miyavi. Presenting Selfish Love.


Selfish love - Miyavi

The instrumental 1st minute was totally original. Guitar and bongo style combined into one. I have yet to meet someone who can actually play guitar like that (other than Miyavi, of course). And the PV (promotional video) itself was pretty amusing - the foot stamping in the water, the eccentricity of Miyavi's behaviour, the simple melody, the catchy tune, the "I look ridiculous, but I don't give a damn" look...genius!

I have yet to see other Miyavi videos, but Ruki was certainly right when he said that Miyavi's really talented (to the point where Ruki actually envies him). And after watching this video, I believe him. Miyavi could easily run a one man show.
