What You Need to Know:
- MIYAVI has announced his first new album in three years, titled “Lost In Love, Found In Pain.” Part one of this album, “Lost In Love,” will be digitally released on download and streaming websites worldwide this summer.
- A short music video for “Eat Eat Eat,” a song included in “Lost In Love,” has been revealed. Directed by Darren Craig, who also handled the album design, the video depicts an impactful scene where MIYAVI is surrounded by four dancing women while he is tied to a chair and threatened with a knife.

MIYAVI’s Profile
MIYAVI has gained worldwide attention as a guitarist for his unconventional “slap guitar” style, in which he plays the electric guitar with his fingers instead of a pick. He has performed more than 380 live shows in 30 some countries, and has 9 successful world tours under his belt. Other accomplishments include performing the national anthem at the Dodger Stadium in the United States, delivering the opening performance at the National Stadium during the visit of the Paris Saint-Germain soccer team to Japan, and providing music and halftime performances for the NBA’s Golden State Warriors.
Apart from his musical pursuits, MIYAVI made his Hollywood debut as an actor in Angelina Jolie’s film “Unbroken.” He also graced the runway of Paris Fashion Week as a model for Yohji Yamamoto and Y-3 and was the first Japanese person to be featured in advertisements for the GUCCI Global Collection. In recent years, he has also been actively involved in advertising campaigns for companies like DELL and McLaren. In 2017, he became the first Japanese to be appointed as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees).
In November 2022, he announced the formation of the band “The Last Rockstars” with YOSHIKI, HYDE, and SUGIZO. As the “Samurai Guitarist,” he is constantly taking on new challenges and is one of the most promising Japanese artists active on the international stage.
