The day before his first concert in France, as part of his world tour, miyavi made an appearance at Japan Expo in Paris. At the event, he participated in the Laforet HARAJUKU fashion show and later took some time to answer a few questions. Surprisingly, fewer fans were present in the audience than had been at the fashion show. Not many people knew about the conference, which probably accounted for its low attendance.
作为世界巡演的一部分,miyavi在法国首场演出的前一天,在巴黎的Japan Expo上出现了。在Expo上,他参加了名为“Laforet HARAJUKU”的时装秀,并抽出了一些时间回答了几个问题。出乎意料的是,答题环节出现的fans比时尚秀上的还要少。可能是由于不太被重视,所以这次访谈没什么人知道。
The Japan Expo Awards were presented just a while ago and you ranked number two in the top five most anticipated artists in France. What's your reaction to this?
Japan Expo奖项刚刚呈现出来,你在法国最受欢迎的日本艺人前五名中名列第二。你对此有何感想?
miyavi: I'm really thankful to you for that. I'm very pleased to have been nominated and I'll do my best to be number one next year!
谢谢你这么说。对于被提名我感到非常高兴,在明年我会努力去争取第一名的!
Do you have anything to say about the number one male, Gackt?
你对第一名gackt有什么要说的吗?
miyavi: "Oh, shit." (laughs) No, he's like my big brother; I have a lot of respect for him. I'll talk to him about it on the phone, but I'm your number one.
“Oh,shit!”(笑)不,他很像我的大哥,我很尊敬他。我会在电话里告诉他(他是第一名),不过我是你(访问者吧?)的第一名。
Tomorrow evening will be your concert at the Olympia. Have you prepared some kind of surprise?
明晚就是你在Olympia的演唱会了,你有没有准备什么惊喜?
miyavi: The surprises are secret. I'm very happy to perform this first concert in France. I'm having a good time and I hope you will too.
惊喜要保密啊。我非常高兴能在法国呈现我的第一场演出。我会度过一段快乐的时光,我也希望大家也能。
Considering your success in the west, will this prompt you start an international fan club?
想想你在西方的成功,会不会激起你建立一个国际歌迷会的冲动?
miyavi: Of course I would like to open an official fan club and now that would be easier as I have gained some contacts. Would you join the fan club? I'll ask my manager.
我当然像开一格官方的歌迷会,而且现在在我已经获得一些联系的时候会更容易一些。你会参加我的歌迷会吗?我要问问我的经纪人…
You mix various musical genres in your songs. Isn't that really hard to cope with?
你在你的歌曲中融合了很多种音乐元素。这会不会很难应付?
miyavi: I mix different musical styles so yes, it's a bit hard, but I want to show what traditional music is, though it's true that it can get complicated.
我混合了多种不同的音乐风格,这确实有点难。但是我想要告诉大家什么是传统的音乐,尽管它会很变得很复杂。
