The popularity of Jpop, Jrock and Visual Kei has been gathering steam in the US. The genres were originally introduced to the US market through the theme songs and supplemental music in Japanese anime. Hardcore anime fans turned to the internet to discover the artists behind these catchy pop songs and this opened a whole new world to what has become the "Otaku" generation. The fans of this music are highly dedicated who tend to grasp at any opportunity to see a concert, buy merchandise or actually meet a Japanese artist. One of the most well-known and respected Jrock arists is -miyavi-, whose visually stimulating shows not only incorporates traditional rock instruments but often taiko drums, tap dancers, beat box and even live painters. ***PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SHOW ON 5/18 IS SOLD OUT AND ABSOLUTELY NO CAMERAS WILL BE ALLOWED. DUE TO OVERWHELMING DEMAND, A 2ND SHOW ON 5/19 HAS BEEN ADDED.***

Although not quite as classically photogenic as comrade Gackt, Miyavi more than makes up for it with raw creative yin; disturbingly eccentric and no shrinking daisy.
