Miyavi has proposed the concept of “Neo Visualism” through his musical activities. While touring throughout Asia, Miyavi started to consider a worldwide approach to music and “Neo Visualism”.
In 2004 after a performance at the legendary Budokan, Miyavi decided to have a more global reach. In May 2007, Miyavi was the featured artist at the JRock Revolution concert held at the Wiltern Theater in LA. The live performance features a mixture of traditional Kabuki inspired makeup, costumes and Kimono,
but also the modern fashion of a ball cap attached to his “top knob” hair style. Miyavi’s stage costume also features the words “The Wisdom Sutras” embroidered on his back, these are his lyrics, which shows his Japanese pride.  The band features a Tap Dancer, a Painter, a Human Beat Box, DJ, Bass and Drums that makes up the KAVKI BOIZ.  Miyavi has a busy schedule ahead of him, as he confirmed tour dates in both Europe and South America for September and October of this year.
