MIYAVI Releases “Get Wild” Lyric Video & New Original Album Details

MIYAVI just wrapped up his recent North America tour and is set to begin his "MIYAVI 20th & Beyond" 20th anniversary project! Details on new and upcoming releases can be found below!

To kick off the project, MIYAVI has released a lyric video for “Get Wild,” a song from his upcoming anime song cover album "MIYAVIVERSE - Anima -". The video shows a figure marching forward in a purple space, surrounded by futuristic buildings and lighting effects. It is reminiscent of the ending theme of the anime City Hunter, in which the song was originally used, making it an enjoyable work for anime fans.

The second work of the 20th anniversary project will be an original album coming out next spring, and production is currently underway. This will be MIYAVI’s first original album since he released Imaginary in September 2021. MIYAVI creates his own unique sound by incorporating various elements without borders, so we look forward to seeing what he will come up with this time!

MIYAVI has recently completed a major 20th anniversary tour throughout North America, and photos from the just-concluded Los Angeles concert have arrived, conveying his powerful performance and the enthusiasm of the audience.

With his 20th anniversary year finally beginning there is a lot to look forward to so be sure to keep an eye out for it!
