As the venue buzzed with excitement from new and old fans, 雅-MIYAVI- appeared on the right-hand side of the stage, strumming the first few chords of "WHAT'S MY NAME?" The long hair extensions from his previous tour were gone, leaving a long bob-style head of ebony. He was donning all black: a loose, low-cut black sweater, visibly displaying the word "un-do" tattooed on his chest, black three-quarter length cargo pants and black shoes. "Raw" and " clean" sprung to mind, much like the instrumental arrangement for his latest album.
雅-MIYAVI- ripped into the song in earnest as BOBO appeared on stage to assist on drums. It was a solid opening with a lot of impact. -雅-MIYAVI-'s energy brought the whole venue to life with everyone jumping, swaying and dancing. With "UNIVERSE" the intensity remained high, but the atmosphere was distinctively different; as if everything was under the surface, waiting to break through. His voice carried a raw edge to it that can only be experienced live. His unique guitar playing style gives full credit to his "samurai guitarist" name. It looked as if his fists were simply beating the instrument, but the musical resonance he created told otherwise.
"Are you ready to survive?" 雅-MIYAVI- screamed as he began the next song, "SURVIVE". During the song he paused and repeatedly asked "What's my name?" and got enthusiastic replies of "MIYAVI!" each time. "Give it up to BOBO!" he yelled and plunged into a brand new track. The crowd jumped up and down in time with雅-MIYAVI-, responding to every "Come on, come on!", getting even more fired up. Without pause, the next song started; another new track with a hard beat that had everyone clapping their hands, head banging furiously and jumping up and down with such power it was unbelievable.
After a short water break, the venue's collective intensity was about to reach the next level. 雅-MIYAVI- began strumming the very familiar "おっさんおっさん俺なんぼ/Ossan Ossan Ore Nanbo" and the fans went crazy, shrieking in response to his beckoning them to repeat the lyrics.
