MIYAVI – “Fragile” Music Video

From an intro that evokes a distinctly Japanese flavor, the song shifts into a decidedly mature atmosphere as it moves into the first verse.

The guitar’s tone—tinged with a certain loneliness and a hint of instability—creates an indescribable sonic world.

While MIYAVI is often associated with striking the guitar with his bare hands and whipping up excitement with raw shouts, this kind of stylish ballad is also remarkably beautiful and captivating.

Need for SpeedMIYAVI10rank/position

MIYAVI「Need for Speed」Music Video

Accompanying the virtual footage of BMW’s electric vehicle, the iX, was guitarist MIYAVI’s “Need for Speed.” The title “Need for Speed,” which perfectly matches the sleek, futuristic visuals of the iX racing by, along with the repeated chorus and the light, punchy breakbeats, really leave an impression.

It also incorporates a technique often heard in EDM—four-on-the-floor kick drums that gradually speed up before the chorus—further enhancing the sense of speed and making it a track that really gets you pumped.

21st-Century Style MarchMIYAVI13rank/position

MIYAVI – 21st Century March

A track whose music video leaves a strong impression with MIYAVI wielding a modified Flying V guitar.

The thick, muscular guitar sound further amps up the rock flavor in this straightforward song.

Its positive message—tinged with a bit of irony—also stands out.

Ahead Of The LightMIYAVI14rank/position

MIYAVI – Ahead Of The Light

Thick kick drum and synth sounds are used effectively, giving it a dance music vibe.

However, it’s the acoustic guitar that drives the song.

That combination is wonderful.

The music video featuring dekotora—trucks decorated with lights and ornaments—is also interesting.
