[Harinezumi]

Another part of his arm tatoos. I had also the back, but somebody already posted it^^
For the tatoo on his back, Mia, it a "sutra". Some boudist teaching of the boudha. And Miyavi said that he what to go to illumination in this life. ^^

I've read the translation for the tattoo on his back, but I don't really get what it means can someone tell me basically what it's about? It sounds really meaningful though

[whosthere]

I have just read it and to my understanding it means that once you have obtained your enlightenment, you simply just exist.This enlightenment is also known as a state of Nirvana. This is the ultimate state to be in. You have over come suffering, there are no boundries QUOTE:In voidness there is no form,
and no sensation, perception, volition or consciousness;
no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind;
no sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, thought
To obtain a state of Nirvana buddhists use mediation, chants, they study the scriptures that teach you to have compassion for everything around you. Buddhists generally live by the 4 noble truths.
If anybody has anything else to add or correct something that I have written, please feel free

[Jou Sama]

From what I could grasp, the Heart Sutra is basically explaining the state of perfect enlightment or Nirvana. I'm no Buddhist, so I don't know if what I'm getting is anywhere right... but it's saying that you must achieve complete emptiness to attain Nirvana. Emptiness is in every form, whether it be in the senses (sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing), perception, or consciousness. It is also complete with a mantra, a mantra of great knowledge (I assume to help you attain said Nirvana) "gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha" which translates to "Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond, O what an awakening, all-hail!"

Interesting fact about the mantra as quoted from Wikipedia:
"Although the translation is acceptable, the case ending in Sanskrit mantra is the feminine vocative, so gate is addressed to a feminine person/figure. A more accurate translation is "Oh she who is gone!" In this respect, the mantra appears to be keeping with the common tantric practice of anthropromorphizing the Perfection of Wisdom as the "Mother of Buddhas.""

I don't quite understand how this is a "heart" sutra. I could only think it's because people refer to "Nirvana" as an "ultimate happiness"... I have to disagree with that though from what I've read.

If you must become empty, does that not mean you are also clear of happiness? In ways, becoming empty... you don't exist at all. You become void. To be empty is to be nothing. You might overcome suffering and pain, but you also rid yourself of passion, joy, and love.

Bah, I dunno. I don't mean to state some religious debate, I'm just wondering if I'm not actually understanding what is being said.


Moving on, I've been so busy lately I haven't been able to put up a new lyric to analyze. I think it's been two weeks since we did KIMINEGA and Itoshii Hito.
So this week's analyzation can be about Girls, be ambitious.

Lyrics:
If you're alright with these stained hands, I'd offer them to you any time
We don't need any maps or signs, close your eyes and we'll walk together.

It hurts more when you pull out a knife
then when you stab it, did you know that?
A flower doesn't even know how pretty it is, ever in its life.
Isn't that sad.

If you hang on to my back,
a little wind wouldn't harm, right?
come on, if you're gonna be slow like that I'll leave you behind
Boys & Girls hurry, hurry up

I guess I can't give you a kiss goodnight
I'm sorry, I'll sing for you instead
How about we're "even" now?
But what do you mean by "amiable"?
Is this line kinda awkward?

If you give me a chance, apologize and I say Girls, be ambitious

On lonely nights,
An undescribable restlessness,
a fear you just can't run from, a loneliness that makes you wanna cry
Unfortunately come visit you too, huh?

So that you could sleep tight on nights like that
Here's a charm.


So what do you think? What's Miyavi trying to get across in this song? Share your perceptions! ^____________^

[Harinezumi]

Glad that you're not dead Broken rose Ren. ^___^
So, for Girls be ambitious, (one of my favourite) for once, the lyrics and the PV are not far from each others.
It's like he want to help somebody in pain. He offer his hands if it's ok, and say that it will hurt more to go out of this pain than to go in.
He say that he'll protect but "she" have to hurry, if she stay like that without knowing what she'll do, she couldn't kiss him. And he say to be ambitious, to have the courage to do things, the courage to wake up and go.
At the end, she seem to be too late, so he just give her a charme.
I think that he want us to be more happy, to have the courage to live and not to lay down with pain. And if we not go, if we not want to move, he couldn't help.
I really love this song, and i'm sure that if I'm this girls, I'll not take this time to move, I'll just hear him and run, run to him, XD....
Soredewa, bye bye.

[Miiko]

heyhey everybody ;D wahahaaa, Miyavi is so kawaii, wiii ^-^ xD such a good presentation of myself, wahahaha!

I must say that I also think about that lyric almost like you're writing, Harinezumi. It's so... nice. makes me definitely thinking. So that song has a PV too? x) I didn't knew that, hihi ;O

[San_Yumi]

[ida_chan]

I'm really excited about this band thing and dyyyying to get more information! Hope that he tells us something.
Does anyone have the translation of his latest journal entry? (1st Feb)

[Broken Rose Ren]

Feb. 1st Journal Entry.


Japanese:
ヤべえ、もう２月？

時間経つの、はえぇー（気づけばウィークエンド）

ずっと曲書いてっと曜日の感覚わかんねー
（作業エンドレスレイン）

しかも座りっぱだから腰、痛てー（誰もお休み紅）1


今月はロスとこっち行ったり来たりしながら相も変わら ず楽曲作ってるよ。



僕はただ　ずっと変わらず君と居たいから
何があっても笑っていたいから　傷つき何を失おうとも 恐れやしない
何があっても君を守るから　絶対強くなってみせるから 　
今はまだ弱い自分としか向き合えなくて

／雅


Translation:
No way, it’s February already?

The passing of time, so fast (before I know it it’s the weekend)

I’ve been writing music all the time and have lost the concept of what day it is
(Endless line of work)

Moreover I’ve been sitting all the time, so my back hurts (no one gives me a break)1


As I’m going back and forth between here and Los this month I’ll be writing music just as usual.



Because I just want to be with you  always just the same
No matter what happens I want to be smiling  Without fear of hurting or losing a thing
No matter what happens I will be here for you  I’ll absolutely show you how strong I can be
Now I still can only face my weaker self

/Miyavi

Awww...dude, I missed his journals. So. Much.

Okay, so like I said earlier. I have all the contributions, but I figured I wait till I get payed so that I can send the package express (to broke to do so now). But, meh...as long as he get's it.

[whosthere]

Thanks for the diary entry!!! Great read

[Yoko_Kisaragi]

Yay! I have gained privileges.

[ida_chan]

Thanks for the translation! Reading that entry made me remember again why I love him and his music so much.

Happy to hear that the package is ready to send! The things that I wrote in my letter to him might be a little old but it's okay. I wrote about things that happened in autumn, album realases and everything. But the main thing is that Meevers gets the package and feels loved!

[Jou Sama]

Wow more new people... and only two people have interpreted (well... or agreed) the lyrics of the week? That makes me sad.

I know Ren already posted Masa Karasu's translation for Miyavi's latest journal entry, but I've been reading this other chick's translations and I find they make more sense...
So, I thought I would share ^^

Journal Entry:

Oh geez, is it already February?

Time sure passes quick (I just noticed it's the weekend)

While I was constantly writing music, I lost sense of what day it is.
(Work's an endless rain)

Also, sitting all the time hurts my back (no one's letting me rest)

I'll be going back and forth from Los (Angeles) this month, continuing my work on song composition as I always do.


I just want to be with you always.
I want to be laughing no matter what happens, so I won't be afraid of hurting and losing you.
I'll protect you no matter what; I'll show you that I can be stronger
I can only face my own weakness.

／Miyavi



Kay so anyway, sorry I haven't posted in a little bit. It's been busy and Haleigh's been down (FWOO~ ANGELS MEET AT LAST!!).

Dir en grey concert tonight (EXTRA FWOO~) so I'm excited 8D!

Maybe I'll post tomorrow about it 8D!

[Miyavi-Lover]

Was that an hint? Because, Endless Rain is an X Japan song and Yoshiki was the leader of X. Is Miyavi trying to tell us something pretaining to the new band or is he just a fan of that song? Or both?

Yea, I kinda noticed that... He seems to love hiding meanings in what he writes. And in his videos! <3 We all know they must have a deeper meaning, but just don't know how to interpret it...



I just love his poetic-ness-eses .

[Devious]

wah I haven't noticed that :O (I mean about the endless rain) hm I hope that if he is in that band so they'll soon announce it... I'm so tired of waiting... oh and thanks you both for the translations

[Visual-k382]

Hello miyavi fans !!
It's my first post here... although I used to read the replies a lot.
I just wanted to get some informations about miyavi, because I haven't read what had been going on for months... And I don't have the courage to read the 159 pages I missed sorry ! You post replies with an insane speed, it's very difficult to follow the conversation ...
So....
1) I heard that miyavi would come to Europe ?When ? Or....Did I miss hiiiiim ??
2)I heard something too about getting in a band again... What does it mean ?
3) When will he release a new album ?

Thank youu !

[Harinezumi]

Cool a miyavi fan from france, just like me!!!!! ^____^
I don't know for if he's comming in europe or not.... I just know he came in Paris when he did the photobook. But it was a long ago. I hope he'll come again soon ^^
For the band, it's yes, he will go in a new band he talked about it in his journal entries. But he don't tell the name of the band. He worked whith them in Los Angeles for many months in 2006, and he said that he'll go soon again.

For a new album, I don't know when he'll do it, but he talked about the fact that he's writting a lot for new songs. I hope it is for himself and not for the new band. We want so badly a new album!!!!
Soredewa, Bye Bye.
*Et encore bienvenue petite compatriote ^^*
