EMI Music Japan is jointly sponsoring online promotions for MIYAVI, the artist who made a name for himself as a world-standard samurai guitarist, to coincide with the worldwide release of his new single on iTunes® and the announcement of his North American tour.

MIYAVI had the following to say about the North American Tour.

“I really have to thank all the people who have worked so hard to put this tour together for me, and I also need to thank the fans in the US who’ve been so patient in waiting since the cancellations last year. We’ve heard from so many more fans as well and have been able to schedule shows where we weren’t able to go before, on the East Coast and in Canada, so it’s really exciting. The Samurai Guitarist from Tokyo show is going to be one to remember.

Last year, I’ve toured through Europe, South America, and Asia, so I’m really stoked for this upcoming tour. Cuz it’ll be my first time to rock out on the East Coast and Canada. I promise to let you guys experience the original SAMURAI guitarist style from Tokyo.”
