Wow he’s finally coming to TX… he was supposed to come 5 years ago to Dallas for Akon and backed out on us. I totally haven’t kept up with Myv in a while, but I’m soooo thinking of going and footing the $90 to get a good seat for the concert and be a line skipper.

PSH. -Getting super pass.-

Next, Miyavi can come back to English yesh? ^^!?
Yay for Miyavi <3!
Anyone know how old you gotta be to go?
I really wanna go cuz Miyavi is AWSOME, but i might be too young and might not have enough money to get there and back!!! T_T that sucks BIG time. someone scream when Miyavi gets on stage for me, PLEEEEASE?
There’s not an age limit… In fact it only costs $15 for kids 7-12 for all 3 days, and kids under 7 get in free! You just have to be there w/ an adult… but then you could always “pretend” to be with an adult
