It's been a year and Miyavi's back in San Francisco! I wasn't sure about going this time as I had just seen him last year, but I got a ticket from @zooyorkshibby and heck, decided to go. I went with one buddy who went last year and he brought another buddy who didn't know about Miyavi but wanted to come alone for the rock. (He enjoyed it and is now a fan. I told him I was just like him last year) The first thing I did was immediately buy a tour shirt because I've been regretting not doing so last year! There were only two left when I got to the counter so it was fate. My buddy tells me I'm lucky I'm small, as M, L, XL always get sold out first.

In any case, it was a great show! From the moment Miyavi came on stage we all got hyped. I couldn't believe he's still as beautiful this year, as is his soul. The venue was small so the crowd could be really close! I'm still tired right now as I write this. There was a lot of jumping and yelling.

I don't know all the songs he played but I definitely knew these. I think he did two cover songs but I don't know of what.

-Pink Spider (cover, maybe X Japan?)
-Real
-What a Wonderful World

I'm not someone who takes videos while watching a show and I wasn't as close anyway. There's always someone with a better phone who is closer and blocking my view anyway.

The photo he always takes at the end with everyone. I'm one of the peace signs in the back, probably!

I went to Asia On Tour feat. Miyavi at the Fillmore in San Francisco last night with some old friends from high school! I wasn't thinking about going at first, but after yararanger said I totally should, I went ahead and bought a ticket two days before the event, since I was going to be able to carpool. 

The four of us were talking about how we were curious about the other two groups headlining the show, Slot Machine and Kiha & The Faces. We wondered what they would be like, and we are pleased to say we really enjoyed them! Kiha & The Faces had a really soul/rock Korean music kind of feel to their songs. It was very different and I liked it a lot. Kiha wore a shirt that parodied the KIA car logo and the back of his shirt said Self 0. He was very funny. He doesn't dance much, but he takes the stage in a very unique way. Before he started "The Smell's Gone", he told us all to sing "papapapa" .. (the chorus line as I later found out in the music video), saying it didn't matter if we got it right or not because it was just a sound, not words. But then later he said he lied to us and that it was Korean. For "내 사람", he then told us he wanted to say a Korean phrase, "nae salam" which meant someone important to you?? So we sang it on cue. All the songs were very fun.

I wasn't familiar with Kiha & The Faces and Slot Machine or many of Miyavi's songs, but after checking them out on Youtube I know some of the set list for the artists went, in no particular order,All in all, I'm glad I went. I can't believe Miyavi is real even now! I don't really know what to say about him, except I couldn't believe anyone could ever perform like he did on stage. I mostly watched his hands but his hairstyle made all the head banging look really cool (he really is nice to look at, I couldn't believe that either). He was absolutely amazing and wild. I got really excited when he started playing "The Others" since that was the only song I recognized in the Miyavi crash course I gave myself before going. I got to stand close enough to see him, but not close enough to high five him. I couldn't help it and snapped a few shots, even though none of them were good. XD

I'm grateful to my friends who let me come with them so I could see this fantastic show!! It was really worth it and I'm so glad we all had a great time. Thanks guys!
