Have you already checked my issue of @thelaterals yet?? 👀 #Repost @miyavi_press 【Magazine】Perhaps best known for his signature finger-slapping style of playing guitar, legendary Japanese musician, actor, and philanthropist #Miyavi bridges cultures with his music and raises awareness for the refugee crisis through his work as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador. Also known as the “Samurai Guitarist”, @miyavi_ishihara gained international recognition for his unique guitar technique and has gone on world tours in 30 countries across five continents. His acting career includes playing complex villains in the films Unbroken, Bleach, and Stray, and most recently, landing his first non-villainous role in the 2019 film Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. In 2015, Miyavi visited a refugee camp in Lebanon and performed his song “The Others” to the people he met there, later releasing the music video featuring the faces of refugees from around the globe. Since that initial visit, he has traveled to more camps in Thailand and Bangladesh, where he bonded with refugees through his music and heard their stories of desperation and hope. Moved by the refugees’ resilience, Miyavi continually uses his voice, talent, and platform to educate the world about their cause. Following the release of his new solo album “NO SLEEP TILL TOKYO”, Miyavi spoke with The Laterals about his evolving artistry and the joy and message he hopes to spread globally through his music and UNHCR ambassador work.
