Still remembered the time we; the Malaysian fans all calling his name MIYAVI!! MIYAVI!! many timez until he came out again to performed more!! Awe-ing!!

Counting on, MIYAVI has approximately performing for 6 months continuosly; 5 months in overseas and until recently in his own country.. Tokyo is his final live and I can see that big crowds from one of the notable photographer; Keiichinitta in his Instagram. It was such a great tour as I regularly checking up his official Twitter and Instagram updates! Even sometimes I checked around fanpage to get his news on his tours.. He is really the legendary "Samurai Guitarist".. He was in high spirit and enjoyed every moment of his tour and lives. (^Д^)

I even can't believed myself that I really went and see his live with my own eyes and feels.. That was really different from what you only sees him in network. You'll have that unbelievable moment in your life like that! Not more to say when you get meet and greet him in person! Really can't explained that feels. Haha~ If that time I can give the special T-shirt I had specially prepared for him, I am more to be honoured.

Anyways, I want to convey my thanks and gratitude to MIYAVI and staffs for putting out such an awesome lives for us and give us so much fun and valuable moments with him! And I will never forget this awesome moments..... EVER! MIYAVI ROCKS!!

【Report】MIYAVI "Slap The World Tour 2014" Live in Kuala Lumpur [22/02/2014]

When MIYAVI performed on that night~ First of all, he was an awesome man ever that I had met with my very own eyes. I can't believed I was actually standing in the concert hall waiting for MIYAVI to performed that Saturday night. I was too amazed overall.

Circumstances beyond the concert hall: That Saturday evening around 7 o'clock, me and my 3 friends were already arrived at the concert venue. It was a new venue and a new concert hall which located at the back of SK Sri Setia from Jalan Kuchai Lama. So we're bit late because we're new to the place then. Upon arrival, to my surprised, alot of people had already gathered around outside the concert hall. So, we went to the crowd and then saw some booths from there. One was selling MIYAVI merchadises and the other was for ticket sales and to claimed the free MIYAVI cds for the RM338 tickets. After I claimed the cds and bought some merchandises, we started to lined up to get ready to enter the hall. Apparently, the weather that day was hot and humid so I was sweating like hell. LOL!

While in the concert hall: I never thought the concert was kinda wide, big and even had an air-conditioner available. Kinda cooling.. hehe.. So, when we had entered the hall, we all started to stand at our own zone for hours. To cut the story short, the concert started with the big screen playing MIYAVI's upcoming hollywood movie trailer "Unbroken" which was directed by Angelina Jolie. Everyone was concentrating on watching the trailer until MIYAVI appeared form the trailer, everyone was screaming! Whenever Miyavi parts appeared, everyone will screamed except me and my friends. Hahaha~ Actually, that scenes of screaming to MIYAVI was very funny! And then, after the movie trailer, the screen once again shown the trailer of MIYAVI / Justice "Slap The World Tour 2014" special trailer. Everyone once again screaming except me! LOL! I actually wanna save my screams later for MIYAVI performing later.

The concert started: The concert later started with the opening act from our Malaysia rock band; Bunkface. WOW! Bunkface was kinda cool and awesome and their songs was good. The vocalist even shouted "Are you ready for MIYAVI"... That's all I can remember. Later the concert went silence and we waited and Miyavi's crew was testing the mic and equipments. After that all of sudden, all of us saw Miyavi walked out on the stage with a banner and a small Malaysian flag on it that the fans had made for him. We all screaming like hell for him. Then he started to performed. The first track MIYAVI performed was DAY 1 followed by STRONG and CHASE IT. I was like so amazed and dazzled by the way he played his guitar! I actually saw him with my own eyes how he slap his guitar~ Truly amazing because he doesn't even used any guitar picks! 最高です! Me and I think everyone went awe-ing for him! Another best thing is, while he was performing, he was acually having fun on the stage, like he was enjoying every bit of it.

I also went awe with the drummer; Bobo. My god, he's drumming technique is too awesome!! So much powerful and beating! I was actually surprised by Bobo because I think his outfit is the most relaxing and comfortable ever. He wear shorts while performing. Maybe because the weather is hot too. I'm so amazed when Bobo stop drumming and he let go his long hair and swaying and tied it back~ that moment I captured~ sexy~ LOL!

Later, Miyavi gives his first speech telling about his experience working with Angelina Jolie and about his throat surgery last year. He said that he was kinda sad he can't spent his X'mas last year and instead he had to spent it at the hospital. He even fears that he might performed badly because he is still recovering. But.... he doesn't sound he's recovering and he's like so energetic and so powerful!

And here comes MIYAVI mischiveous act to Bobo. He told Bobo to say a few words to us and Bobo was kinda hesitant and because of MIYAVI kept teasing him to speak out, Bobo said "谢谢"and he went shy... Hahaha~ how cute is Bobo. Later MIYAVI doesn't satisfied and he went to Bobo and speak to him and later Bobo said "Terima Kasih" hahaha~ (awe-ing moment again). We eventually laugh and MIYAVI laughs too. MIYAVI said Bobo was shy.

Later, we back to rock-ing again with Secret and Chillin’ Chillin’ Money Blue$. Secret is one of my favorite song. That song gives me a high vibe and what more to say when MIYAVI had his solo guitar moment and it was so brilliant! I was once again dazzled. We all make our hand gesture with 1 and 5 and lift it up so high and even jumped. I think the most that I really get into was Guard You and Cry Like This. I remembered that we sang out loud for Cry Like This chorus part that went "oh oh oh oh oh..." That feel was tremendous~
He even performed  君に願いを/Kimi ni negai wo which he hasn't do during the sound check. I thought I was seeing wrong things but I saw groups of people or whoever went to tears or something that I'm not really sure about it. When Miyavi finish singing, not mistaken, he said thank you and went down to backstage and everyone was kinda puzzled and await and some fans from the back kept shouting MIYAVI's name and later in front of me, the fans also shouted "Encore! Encore!" and until MIYAVI went up on stage again and perform more songs.

Finally, after MIYAVI's perform all the songs, it was time to say goodbye and he thank everyone especially we, fans for that night and he even said Malaysian fans are awesome! Really rocks the night! After that, MIYAVI took his camera and snap the all of us and we all lift our hand with hand gesture number 1. So, it all went crazy, fun and high throughout all the concerts and finally the whole concert end with 2 hours full of awesome musics and songs!

Later, everyone slowly left the concert hall but me and my friends still wondering around in the hall and suddenly, we saw ALICE NINE SUPERNOVA SYMPHONIA 2014 special trailer aired at the end and we all suddenly screamed so loud!!! OMG!!! I can't wait for ALICE NINE to performed!! FYI, Alice Nine will perform at the same venue; Mega Star Arena. When I reflash back, MIYAVI was once a member in PS COMPANY and also senpai to ALICE NINE.

By the way, MIYAVI, together with Bobo took photo of the crowd and he uploaded it to his instagram and even wrote a notes thanking Malaysia.

During Meet and Greet: After came out from the concert hall, me and one of my friend went to lined up for autograph signing. And I saw MIYAVI's videographer was filming us and suddenly something surprised us. It was one of MIYAVI's crew, a videographer who was requesting fans (who lined up for MIYAVI's meet and greet) to get filmed in the video. OMG! He ask us one by one and apparently, me and my friend had agree and we said some message to the camera. The videographer even get us ready to be filmed while he count one two three. I said something like a thank you message. I think that film will be for DVD tour later. Hohoho!

Later when it's my turn to meet MIYAVI, he was so laid back during the meet and greet. I was over taken and dazzled by him. He was actually standing in front of me and like OMG!! LOL! So, I told my name and he was "huh" so I spelled my name for him. He wrote it and then he look back at me and said "WOW"... I was like suddenly silent and then giggle and said thank you! I think I was so embarassed and dazzled and slowly went outside. Actually the atmosphere was a little bit tension because all the crews was there. LOL!
