Miyavi Live In Kuala Lumpur 2012

Asahi (Japan’s No. 1 Beer) is proud to present larger than life Japanese rock musician Miyavi live exclusively at The Stage in Avenue K, Kuala Lumpur, at 8.00pm, on Wednesday 25th July 2012.

Known as the samurai guitarist, he has a flair for playing the electric guitar with just his fingers, instead of with a conventional pick, and he is achieving worldwide appeal for his original, one of a kind slap style. Through his three successful world tour, this visual kei artiste already conquered 30 countries across North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, with over 150 shows.



Miyavi Live In Kuala Lumpur 2012

He converged all the genres of rock, punk, hip hop, and dance, into his most recent album released in late 2010 - the innovative “What’s My Name?”, in which all the songs are composed only with guitar and drums. One year after that, Miyavi conceptualised a collaboration project with established ‘samurai’ artistes across all genres on the “Samurai Session World Series”, which saw its first release “Strong” - featuring Japanese hip hop artiste Kreva.

A distinguished and bona fide rock star in his home country, Miyavi also has a legion of loyal and dedicated following worldwide amongst the Japanese rock fans circle. “I realise that I have so many fans outside of Japan, and I really want to visit them and perform at many places overseas,” shared the maestro.

Organised by entertainment company A-Creations, the concert is supported by JETRO (Japan External Trade Organisation), endorsed by the Embassy of Japan, supported by Pavilion’s Tokyo Street (Partner).

For ticket information and purchase, please contact +60-18-210-7668, log-on to www.a-creations.biz/miyavi or email info@a-creations.biz

ABOUT MIYAVIBorn in Osaka, Japan, Miyavi moved to Tokyo with just his guitar on hand after quitting high school at the young age of 17. Soon after, he found success with indie rock band Dué le Quartz as their guitarist Miyabi. He eventually pursued a solo career and re-invented himself as Miyavi, and he was also part of the Japanese rock group S.K.I.N.

Miyavi now wears the many caps of being a guitarist, singer, song writer, arranger, record producer, actor, as well as dancer. More recently, he gained recognition amongst his peers after producing music for television commercials such as Uniqlo, Toshiba, and Nissan Motors. Besides that, his many song collaborations notably include Tomoyasu Hotei, Maki Nomiya, Studio Apartment, Yoko Kanno, Anna Tsuchiya, and Good Charlotte.

Japan's Explosive Drums Come To Life For The First Time In Malaysia

World-renowned Japan martial arts and drum-playing extraordinaires, Drum Tao, will finally be showcasing their internationally applauded performance in KL for the very first time in August 24 – 25 at the KLCC Plenary Hall. After playing to audiences of more than 5 million, in 400 cities in 17 countries that include Switzerland, Denmark, Israel, USA, Australia, Spain, Belgium, UK and Germany, critically-acclaimed Drum Tao, will explode onto the KL stage with its eclectic mix of dance and martial arts as the dynamic and innovative Japanese performers beat their Wadaiko Drums.

Drum Tao - Art of Drum Tour



Drum Tao is world class entertainment at the highest level. It is an innovative contemporary Japanese production that has thrilled audiences with this ground-breaking presentation and one-of-a-kind show. The two-hour extravaganza features super human efforts by the 16-strong highly disciplined crew of Japanese Taiko drummers, who spend eight months of the year touring the world, giving it their all in the 500 shows they perform a year.

Each Wadaiko Drum used in the performance weighs a massive 400kg with a 1.7metre circumference.
The performers then switch to creating complex rhythms on smaller drums, complemented by the delicacy of bamboo flutes and a horizontal harp. Drum Tao will transport its audience to an unforgettable artistic universe with their breath-taking and stunning performances.

While their skilful drumming is exhilarating, Drum Tao also leap around the stage performing intricate choreography with their split-second timing, dressed in flowing red and black robes. The end result is mind-blowing martial arts married with mesmerising music, coupled with the musicians’ physical fitness, dynamism and extraordinary synchronicity, make them human rarities. The incomparable quality and pure unadulterated power and spectacle of their performance perfectly blends the ancient traditions of the Taiko Drumming and martial arts mastery with the innovative and flawlessly choreographed production values of contemporary Japanese excellence.

Drum Tao is adored across the world with their unprecedented and timeless drumming performance and bringing a brand new genre to the stage. Audiences will be captivated by an evening of rhythm, beats, melody and extraordinary precision which is inspiring, uplifting and theatrical. Do check out their video below for a sample of what is to come!

About Drum Tao
Established in 1993, Drum Tao continues to create an entirely new art form that is modern yet retains a sense of nostalgia. Enthralling and mesmerising their audiences world-wide, the Japanese drum’s intense and powerful beat underpins a musical message that penetrates deep into the hearts of audiences.
Drum Tao’s Art of Drum 2012 can be seen from August 24 – 25, 2012 at the KLCC Plenary Hall.
