Wonderful album, and it's definitely a Miyavi classic. =) This album was the one that got me into Miyavi from the start, and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't given Miyavi a try yet, as well as to any new Miyavi fans out there. A five star album indeed!
Garaku Customer Reviews
Miyavi
I bought this cd as my first actual Miyavi album at a Con, having listened to quite a few Miyavi mp3's, I thought it would be pretty good; maybe one or two songs I didn't like. Boy, was I wrong! This album surprised me with every song being unique and amazing, just like Miyavi. I'm entirely pleased with this album, and it has inspired me to buy even more albums by him, instead of just mp3's.
the fist miyavi album, heavy sound, cute voice, a mix between rock and metal my favorite miyavi album !!! my favorite song is gariben rock !!!
With his great musical talent, Miyavi strikes happiness and love into the hearts of many of his fans! Be prepared to run out your ipods' batteries listening to these songs!
I love it when bands rerelease their old indies stuff, because for one, I love being able to have the ability to actually buy them, and two, the indies era for any artist is almost always the best part of their careers. And Miyavi's first album was what got me into his music in the first place, so it was nice to actually be able to own it.
it was an excellent remake of the other cd, it really was worth buying and it was just as excellent as the older one ^_^
Hello all, my name is Dan and I'm part of the CDJapan team. I just wanted add an official response to everyone's comments. This album, "Garaku" is a reissue of Miyavi's first album originally released in October 2002. We are still waiting on information about his new, third full-length album (tentatively titled "Miyavi Uta" and rumored to be released sometime in September). You can however preorder his upcoming single "Kimi ni Negai wo" here: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UPCH-9240 And be sure to check out Miyavi's cover of Nirvana's "Blew" on the "All Apologies" Nirvana Tribute album here: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UPCH-1489
Just to make sure... Correct me if I am wrong. I believe this is re-issue of his previously released album. This campaign is what PS Company has been doing recently like for band Gazette. So, most, if not all, songs will be those that are already released previously but discontinued. I am more looking forward to his new single to be released on coming July!
Highly anticipated new album for us Miyavi fans. When his last single (Dear My Friend/Itoshii Hito) came out we were thrilled, and when he announced he had two singles and an album coming out later in the year (consecutive months, people: June, July, August *dies*), we were STUNNED. The man won't stop working. We're going broke because of it, but at least we'll be happy. :) I'm very looking forward to the release.
miyavi's new albums!! Can wait to hear his new songs! Miyavi's very creative [and attractive ^ ^] in creating songs. I really like his music style. Like him too... XD
