I thought this might interest Miyavi fans who read S-T.net.
This was just posted a little while ago by musicJAPANplus.

In a message posted today on his website, MIYAVI announced that he is leaving PS COMPANY after 10 successful years of affiliation.

The following is a message directly from him to you:

My dear fans all over the world.

To All Komiyavi
Firstly, Happy Valentine’s Day!!

Thank you for all your time, support and so much love.

Today I have a kind of bitter announcement:

I’ve decided to “graduate” from PS company, with whom I’ve been affiliated for the past ten years, after my concert at Hibiya Yagai Ongakudo on April 5th.

After the event at Budokan on January 3rd,
I looked up at the far-reaching sky and horizon over the sea in Okinawa for the first time in all these years, and decided to think about my one and only life 10 or 20 years down the road.

Thought about myself as an artist,
how to face to fans and people who support me,

thought and thought and got tired, and took nap and woke up and thought and thought,

took a shower, and thought and thought,

got hungry and had a light meal, and thought and thought,

walked along the sea and thought and thought,

Then, before I realized, it was morning.

And I watched the sun rising from the sea
Without thinking I spontaneously started to cry.

Neither sad nor happy tears

I just cried.

And decided.

It’s neither a sad thing nor a happy thing

I made a decision for my own bright feature.

At least, I believe so.

I’ll talk about the how and why
in another way or something, some other time.

We achieved great success at the agency’s 10th anniversary concert, and I fulfilled my role as representative of all the affiliated bands
The agency started its 11th year of activity without any problems.

That’s one of my main reasons.

Of course, I’ll keep on singing “Peace&Smile” like always.

Above all, I want to express my thanks to Chief Executive Mr.Ozaki, who was surprised to hear this but understood after great reflection.

To all staff who worked through blood, sweat and tears to be my hands, legs and sometimes even like my body, thank you, thank you very much.

I know that no matter which road I choose, it’s a thorny path.

So think I should live in a way I won’t regret when I’m looking back on myself 10 or 20 years from now.

Hope we’ll be able to have sweet sweet dreams instead of chocolates that makes cavities in our teeth.

I hope we can all have SWEET dreams.

Happy braintine’s day.

Miyavi

Dear my fans all over the world.

仔雅の皆へ
いつもサポートと沢山の愛をありがとう。

今日はちょっぴりホロ苦い報告があります。

このたび４月５日の日比谷野外音楽堂公演にて
１０年間所属しお世話になりましたPS companyを巣立ち、
”晴れて卒業”という形をもって独立する事に相成りました。

１月３日の武道館公演を終え、
数年ぶりの沖縄の海で広がる空と水平線と向き合い
自分の一生一度きりの人生これからの１０年、２０年を見据え決心しました。

自分のアーティストとしての在り方や
ファンの皆や応援してくれる人達との向き合い方を考えに考えて、

考えて考えて疲れ仮眠して起きては考えて考えて、

軽くシャワー浴びては考えて考えて、

腹が減り軽食をとっては考えて考えて、

海沿いを歩き考えに考えて考えてたら、

気付けば朝になってました。

そして海からゆっくりと昇ってくる朝日を
何も考えずに見てたら自然と涙が出てきました。

悲しい涙でも嬉しい涙でもありません。

ただ泣きました。

そして決めました。

悲しい事でも嬉しい事でもありません。

ただ明るい未来の為に決めました。
少なくとも僕はそう信じています。

決断に至るまでの細かな理由はプロセスは
機会を改めてメディア等で語るとして

事務所設立１０周年記念公演を成功に終える事ができ、
所属バンドを代表しその役目を果たした上で
無事に１１周年目を迎えられた事も一つの大きなきっかけとなりました。

勿論これからも変わらず”Peace & Smile”を唄ってくつもりです。

何よりこの話をした時に驚きながらも熟考を重ね、理解を示し、
快く背中を押してくれた尾崎社長に多大なる感謝の意を表すると共に
これまで手となり足となり時には屍となり
汗水涙流して働いてくれたスタッフの皆も本当に本当にありがとう。

どの様な道を選べどイバラの道である事に変わりないのは承知の上です。
ならば１０年後２０年後に今を振り返った時に悔いのない生き方をしようと思いました。

皆でデッカイSWEETな夢をみれますように。
Happy belated braintine’s day.

みやび

So, what do you think?

I do hope Miyavi doesn’t stop making music. And him without PSC will be a little strange to me– at first, at least.
