Following the album’s characteristics, the emphasis lied on his guitar play. MIYAVI’s voice was a bit unsteady from time to time—a common weakness of the singer songwriter, which he could compensate with his well-known opened approach and direct connection to the audience. He switched to a Fender Telecaster[1], leaving the half electronic half acoustic Taylor T5 behind, to gain a more edgy, rough, and punchy sound with less slapping and more picking, for which he used finger nails. Amplified through a wall of a total of four amps the rich guitar sound dashed through the venues, joined with Bobo’s precisely accurate drum beats, and rocked the audiences.

[1] To be more precise, the album’s booklet shows him with a LsL guitar, which makes it likely that he recorded the album with the LsL and then took the Fender along the ride for the tour.
