Miyavi announced on his blog that he has twins! Then he proceeded to post the following picture.
You see, he broke his first mac and thinking it would be totally dead – he bought another to replace it. At the end result, his first mac survived and now he has 2 of the same laptop. LOL He probably shocked a few people with starting out his post with:
sry, i havent blogged in a while…but there is some good news !!
i have Twins !!
More and more bandmen are getting macs! I can barely afford living let alone a mac!

Mamo takes a break
28
May, 2009
R指定(R-shitei)’s vocalist Mamo is going to take a break from live activities. This is what the band has written on their OHP in what they call an “important announcement”. It seems like Mamo’s got some problem with his lung, more precisely, he suffers from a pneumothorax. If you feel concerned with this, go check on Wikipedia. It doesn’t look too bad, but he’ll have to rest for a while.
In the mean time, the band will continue their activities with 4 members, probably using a playback for the singing part. But Mamo ask the fans not to worry too much, as he will come back soon ! Let’s hope he’s gonna be fine soon !
