message: Just wanted to mention that "Koi Kei X" might better be removed. I never heard of it and didn't find any other information about it. Other people in different forums don't know this too... We are into this kind of music for a long time so I guess someone of us would have stumbled upon this term if it would really be used ^^°
Anyways, maybe someone can proof that it's an existing term, I'm always willing to learn ;)
:I tried to look up something on it a little while ago, and I do believe I came across some information that indicated it was a relatively new term. I'm no expert, though... VZG 05:33, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

message: :::: I uploaded the Arena37 dec 2005 magazine scan. They were originally scanned by  wing L @ soompi and translated there as well by another member. part 1part 2part 3 I don't really know what exactly it says, but the translation on soompi says that he states that he is half korean from his father's side. Also, like mentioned above, I did hear his korean name is Lee Ki Ah but I can't find a source for that. Is it in the same arena article as well? --69.216.136.163 05:35, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have a link for the original translation of December 2005 issue of Arena37 (scans of the article are linked in the comment above) that was posted on soompi and translated by user Litha_Metallium Miyavi mentions how he recently discovered his Korean heritage I hope the link works for you! the translation goes as follows (Just a note; the person who translated appears to be a native Spanish speaker so the English is not perfect but the message still gets across): "Miyavi says that recently he had discover that the parents of his father are (or were (?)) from Corea, and Yun says that his parents are from Corea too, but that he had born in japan, for this reason he (yun) had gone to Corea some years ago and he went to Germany for study, and he talk a bit more about his live." Now there is more than 1 source citing that, Miyavi himself hasclaimed to be  zainichi/have Korean heritage--Jbluex 00:40, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Arena37 December 2005

message: ::As far as his Korean surname being "Lee" and his paternal grandparents hailing from Jejudo, Korea, from what I have googled he revealed this in a Rock and Read Vol.004 interview. I have not found any direct translations of this interview. I have found scans of this magazine but none of the scans I have managed to find contain an interview. I just want to confirm that this is the issue where he discusses his Korean heritage. I am willing to buy it and scan it I just don't want to buy the wrong magazine. --Jbluex 22:08, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Eventhough I did not find a scan of the actual article I found a translation of this article posted on xanga by user bobdasqrl723 Translated from Rock and Read Magazine Vol.004: Miyavi half Japanese and Korean also cited on Asia's finest forums by user MinaNY and jref forums by user hontonidesu goes as follows: "Here he shares his personal history. Starting with a surprising word: 3rd generation zainichi (Korean-Japanese)...  Interviewer: You were born in Hyogo (兵庫)? Miyavi: Today I want to talk about my past before I was born. I: Then about your parents? M: Yes, this is the first time I am mentioning, I am 3rd generation zainichi (Korean-Japanese). Looking at the bloodline, I am mixed. My father's side, grandfather and grandmother are from Jejo island, which is famous for tourist site. They were living their until they came to Japan. I: Did you know this truth when you were little? M: No, at first the questions brought up, but I forgot. But you know when relatives get married. My father had 8 siblings. And he is the first son, so he always had to attend wedding ceremonies. I remember when I went with him to the wedding, at the front door the last names were written in big letters. When I saw it, one side was written "Lee"(李家) and the other side had "Kim"(金家). So even though I was little, (laughs) I knew those last names weren't much seen in Japan. And when I was little, I used to eat jijime(Korean food? I don't know) and see  jogori (Korean traditional dress). Although I didn't know much when I was little, I knew I was alittle different. I: So even though you were born and raised in Japan, you felt your surrounding wasn't quite Japan you are saying? M: Yes, I felt it. I recently found out that my family's last name is Lee (李). There is Bruce Lee (different chinese/kanji character), so I thought it was okay to have Lee as last name (laughs). My grandfather and grandmother lived in Jurubashi(鶴橋). I was born in Nisikujo (西九条)." --Jbluex 02:01, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Rock and Read: Vol.004

message: It goes on further to say that he also mentioned in a 2004 issue of the Korean magazine GMV: "I am mixed, but I don't think that's important. What's the point of thinking about it? When I am writing music, I think about what's important to me. I know history/background is important, but there are more important things. I want to show/express good sides from both Japan and Korea." I hope those are good enough sources! I will also post some sources for the Arena Interview as I find them.--Jbluex 02:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: -Found more from this source. The whole article is transcribed here @ def0021's naver blog and the second to the last question is where they ask if the rumors are true, that he is Korean. "한국에서는 일본연예인이 유명해지면 저 사람은 한국인의 피가 흐르고 있다는 소문이 많아요. 미야비씨도 한국에서 유명해져서 그런 소문이 들리는데 그런 소문을 들은 적은 있나요?어느 쪽인지는 잘 모르겠지만 한국 쪽 혼혈이에요(웃음).하지만 그건 중요한 게 아니라고 생각해요. 깊게 신경 써서 뭐하겠어요? 내가 음악을 쓰는 데 있어서 뭐가 중요할까 생각해요. 역사는 중요한 것이지만다음을 위해 필요한 건 취하고 잊을 건 잊고, 나는 일본의 좋은 점과 한국의 좋은 점을계속해서 표현하고 싶어요." I had someone translate it for me and they translated as follows: I:"When a Japanese entertainer becomes popular in Korea, there's a rumour that they have Korean blood. Miyavi, you have also become popular in Korea and so these rumours have been going round, have you heard of these rumours before?"Miyavi: "I'm not sure which side I'm on, but I'm half Korean (laugh). However, I don't think that's important. What good is it to pay too much attention to that? When I write music I think about what is important. Although personal history is important, I take on what I need and forget what should be forgotten. I want to keep expressing Japan's good points and Korea's good points." --Jbluex 01:57, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: GMV Magazine: August 2004 Issue

message: Toshiya from Dir en Grey is not a guitarist, he's a bassist.  And the magazines mentioned are not magazines that have models, they are music magazines that feature interviews and live reports from bands and artists, such is the case with Miyavi.  He has however modelled in the past for the Gothic & Lolita Bible for different designers.  And the convention he was supposed to appear at was Pacific Media Expo in 2004.  It is not an anime convention, it is a convention focused on Asian pop culture in general.Dix Princesse 14:26, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  A bit of inaccuracy 

message: I added Industrial Metal since his music sounds much harder and more...electronic than just normal J-Rock. If that's incorrect, take it out. 71.39.246.1 23:46, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I have added a few more sources to confirm that Miyavi did indeed perform in Las Vegas. [] is a direct translation of Miyavi's diary stating that he would be in Las Vegas.

message: Yoshiki has stated on his blog (I cannot make it a link because it is blocked from doing so, but you can look it up yourself) that Miyavi is going to be one of nine bands appearing at the Wiltern Theatre on May 25 and 26. The problem is I cannot use Yoshiki's blog as a source, since Myspace is blocked. If I added a different source that quoted what he said, it could be considered not a good source. Any suggestions on what to do? Ismene 23:01, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Source for future Los Angeles performance 

message: It was just announced at the J-rock Revolution concert in LA (May 25) by Yoshiki that Miyavi is indeed the fourth member of the band (which also includes Gackt, Sugizo and Yoshiki himself), so I added that to the article. Anime Expo 2007 has announced that the band will play on June 29: []. So far that's the only reputable source, but Miyavi will probably make an announcement on his official site soon. If anyone knows of any other legit sources to confirm Miyavi's placement, please add. I left the speculation bit in there, too (mention of his December 2006 comment). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Namiie (talk • contribs)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Myvpops.jpg

message: I added a different picture of Miyavi that better showed his face, as the original picture did not show his face that well and made his features hard to recognise.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Starfuming (talk • contribs) 16:43, August 30, 2007 (UTC) 
:I removed the image you added because it is unlicensed, and since it is a scan from a copyrighted publication, and not something released as promotional material freely, it should not be added to the page. Promotional photography on his site could be added if any are present, and any flyer material or album covers are also possibilities if a fair use rationale is provided. --Jacob 18:34, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Would a picture from his official myspace be as good as promotional photography from his site?--Merveilles (talk) 08:13, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Neither of these are going to be used in favor of a free-use photo (like we have now). Photos from a MySpace are actually not covered under "fair-use" policies, and those from official sites are also likely to be deleted, as it is not difficult to obtain images of a musical artist for free-use. --Jacob Talk 11:44, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The following was removed from the article as clearly inappropriately written material for an encyclopedia, (note:the content was later removed from this page due to copyright concerns - it was a cut and paste of an entire page from a website)  but it does claim the information was published in what appear reliable sources.

text: Whoops, I meant Sponichi is not a tabloid paper. I've added additional sources that say the same thing and expanded it. If it has been published by a reliable source then it can be posted on Wikipedia and it doesn't matter what the person has to say about it. When Miyavi says whatever he has to say, whether it is true or false, it'll be added into the article. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 19:38, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Marriage rumours should be removed until April 5th 

message: Maybe he has Korean roots, but if he doesn't have the Korean passport, he is not Zainichi Korean, he is just an ethnic Korean or Japanese citizen of Korean descent. In this case, you should replace Zainichi Koreans category with Japanese people of Korean descent category.--Repli cant (talk) 11:27, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Zainichi Korean? 

message: As Miyavi wrote in his blog on his website MYV382TOKYO.com, her name is Lovelie, not AIRI. He wrote, 
愛理 (Lovelie／らゔり)
と命名しました。
Which says "So we named her 愛理 (Lovelie／RAVURI)".
It's true that 愛理 is normally pronounced AIRI, however Miyavi wrote the pronunciation after, "Lovelie／らゔり". So らゔり (Ravuri) is her name.--TakenouchiNex (talk) 07:24, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  Japanese name kanji don't have a "set" pronunciation. Even though 愛理 is sometimes pronounced Airi, we shouldn't add it to the article as it is original research.  See WP:OR.  The sources we currently have all state her name is pronouced Labuli/Lovely. I have updated the article to reflect the Labuli pronunciation.  Denaar (talk) 16:16, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: How, for Wikipedia good, you can use something what virtually, don't exist? It was released under CC, but went to be deleted, removed or anything else, what means it doesn't exist, so CC with it. If the uploader deleted his picture, that mean he done it with a meaning, and should be respected. Either way, that mean the information about the picture isn't valid. For misunderstanding (if information about images is not true), who will be guilty? If the picture used in the other, for example, indecent purposes, and more particularly without the "clean" area behind the picture, who will be guilty? This is a biography article, and primary goal is to write it a enough readable, and then add other media files. It is this message of quality of Wikipedia?

replies: text: No, that's not how it works. If an author releases a work under CC 2.0, it stays that way permanently, until of course 70 years after the author dies, when it becomes part of the public domain. And just because the author deleted the image from Flickr doesn't mean he or she doesn't want it to be used anywhere else. Perhaps they are deleting it from Flickr to post it on a personal website to attract attention to their website. Lastly, please be more clear in your comments. I couldn't understand the purpose of the last half of your message. Please clarify on these "misunderstandings" and "indecent purposes".  Eugeniu B +1 21:16, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
