Miyavi says Nashville infuses his latest CD
LONDON —
Japanese pop star Miyavi, who appeared in Angelina Jolie’s prison-camp drama “Unbroken”, says that much of his latest album was recorded in Nashville, and the country music capital’s spirit has permeated his work.
“I feel the vibes—to me that’s a spiritual spot,” Miyavi, whose birth name is Takamasa Ishihara, told Reuters before going on stage at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Sunday night for a concert promoting the release of his new CD, “The Others”.
“Every time I go to Nashville, I always pray, in just the normal streets, (with) cars passing by,” Miyavi added.
“I look like a kind of weird strange Asian guy praying on the street, but for me I felt the vibes. And that experience in Nashville is so precious to me.”
